Unavenged
Unavenged is a 2011 album by Random Encounter consisting of 17 songs, contemporary rock arrangements of the music from various video game soundtracks. This represents a fan-made mix between video game covers and original songs inspired by video games. The art and theme of the album is reflective of Random Encounter’s fictional heritage as a Russian-American band of monster hunters and explains their band's hatred for their nemesis, Koschei the Deathless.
The album is Random Encounter's first, having been in existence for over five years and in its fifth incarnation. Promotion for the album was primarily based out of Random Encounter's website, Facebook, and was supplemented by various tour stops around the United States during the PvP Summer Tour, as well as regular performances in their home city Orlando, Florida.
