Akira Tribute // Darksynth // Industrial Cyberpunk - Substance D, by Karl Casey [Lost Vault Tapes 9]

In the 9th installment of the Lost Vault Tapes, our music video series, I put together a tribute to Akira, featuring a slideshow of artwork inspired by Katsuhiro Otomo's groundbreaking cyberpunk masterpiece, including manga panels, official illustrations, and fan art. To accompany the visuals, we chose "Substance D", a powerful darksynth track by Karl Casey. Beyond its heavy industrial cyberpunk atmosphere, the song felt like a natural fit for this tribute thanks to its title and original cover artwork, which prominently features a capsule reminiscent of Akira's The Capsules. The result is a nostalgic audiovisual experience that celebrates one of the most influential works in the history of cyberpunk.
