I know this is like a 2+ year old comment, but what you described re: glitch/trap songs _is_ what a remix is. A remix is a work made by taking a song, or samples from one, and rearranging it (sometimes adding new parts in, such as electronic beats or glitch sounds). Very much the musical equivalent of blackout poetry or magazine collages. I would describe this song more aptly as a cover, since it it's more of an original composition based on another work. It can get tricky in cases where a song is covered as _part of_ a remix, but ultimately it depends on what the intent was. Anyway, no need to compare completely different things to claim one is superior! They each have their own unique sounds and drawbacks, even if one genre isn't for you. But that said, this is a gorgeous cover and by far my favorite version of the song.
I don't get why people think Pale King was in the wrong here. PK stopped Soul Master because he was infected by the Radiance in the first place. Radiance showed him dreams of immortality, so he started killing off innocent bugs and stealing their soul, while protesting the PK. He's the equivalent of a mad scientist gone rogue
80s Soul Master😳 FR tho, the transition between calm but menacing on the organ and how stripped back that was into turning the grittiness (don't know the right term) up in the organs sound to prepare for the transition for an all out synth boss was absolutely insane. I love the addition of a drum beat to the boss fight, and I cant tell which segment I like better!
I consistently finding myself coming back to this song every now and again, even after having first listened to it the couple of years back it had come out. This cover is really exceptional, thank you so much for your work here, if you might ever come back to these late comments, you've done a fantastic job. I have a particular fondness for this song in the first place, but each cover put out from this channel is really special to me, I will listen to them all for some time to come. I hope to see them on Spotify some day, but I am happy they exist at all.
This song has always been therapeutic to me, I may not have seen this cover when it came out, but I was glad that the algorithm brought it to me. Truly amazing.
The fact that as of March 2023 this masterpiece only has 53K views is a crime. I’m so glad I found your channel and the beautiful cover of one of my favourite songs in any game. You are truly gifted and I just wish more could witness your musical genius.
Holy shit, got goosebumps at 2:19. Excellent cover! Edit...I bloody love this track, it's my favourite song at the moment n has been played many times, I can't wait to drive through a tunnel with this playing!
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!!! Top Tier! i love it. in fact, i would say that this rendition really brings out the movement of the entire piece.
Fantatsic cover as always! Have you played Will of the Whisps yet? It's fantastic. And one of the main reasons why is, because it takes everything that is great about Hollow Knight and adds it to Ori. ;)
I played ori, really doesn’t tbh. When comparing the two, hollow knight absolutely destroys ori in terms of the depth of its lore and the feeling of dread you have when playing hollow knight
@@mikeyeyey8678 How does the feeling of dread make Hollow Knight a better game? It's just different and it depends on what you prefer. Sure, Hollow Knight digs deeper into lore, but Ori's movement is miles ahead of Hollow Knight. Both have their qualities and I love both.
What a wonderful cover, especially I love the soul master part of the song,one more follower and I would like to see more Hollow Knight covers (if you want of course)
This happens when I go up with the volume, I can control that with a foot pedal. Technically, it is the tube amp running over its limit, similar to distorted guitars.
@@dksmusicbox1371 Fascinating, thanks for the reply. It totally sounds like something organic happening from the.. well, organ; but it's actually from an electrical amp? crazy
well, you can say that this happens naturally since the amp is part of the instrument. It's an electromechanical organ, so it wouldn't work without some kind of amplification. If you're interested you can google Hammond B3 and Leslie Speaker, it's pretty fascinating stuff ;)
I don't think so, this music especially feels like as if Christopher went Hans Zimmer mode, and is one of my favourite tracks in the game. Might as well say it's my favourite.
To summarize my thoughts, I'll repeat key phrases from previous comments: Philip Glass Key Clicks Amazing Drama Improve Perfection I'm back after a couple months Wish you had a billion views brother, keep it up!
This made me subscribe instantly. Fucking legend. You won't find any better. I was wondering, if you ever played the original Pokemon Mystery Dungeons? I always saw them as pretty underrated, especially because of the fire soundtracks. With your talent, you could give an interesting take on like, Sky Tower or smth. Keep up the great work man!
So faithful to the source, yet bringing more than there was in the original, amazing; also love your Crystal Peaks cover. May I also suggest soundtrack from World of Goo? My favorite is "Best of times", but there are plenty others worth of your attention as well, I think.
@@KINGSNAKE-lh7oe well, it's a neat game. Although at one point I indeed was quite a big fan of it, even thought up a bunch of new mechanics and levels (and even a plot) for the nevercoming part 2, lol
![Skeleton [Hollow Knight Animation]](/img/n.gif)
Somehow, this sounds as if the Soul Master had become a cybernetic abomination instead of a Soul-crazed bug, which honestly kinda fits
This song fills me with soul, but i dont need to kill thousands of people to get it
This is beautiful... I always fond that the original had this philip glass vibe but this cover really encapsulate it !
Hollow Knight + Portal 2 + drums = 2:18
This is a true remix right here. Not the kind of garbo people slap on trap/glitch versions of original songs and call it a remix.

The one dislike is from Pale King
I don't get why people think Pale King was in the wrong here. PK stopped Soul Master because he was infected by the Radiance in the first place. Radiance showed him dreams of immortality, so he started killing off innocent bugs and stealing their soul, while protesting the PK. He's the equivalent of a mad scientist gone rogue
@@WrektSK *wrekt used lore on charles... It was super effective!*
And he just started to make lots of accounts to support his dislike
oh dude, those key clicks, that synth, that beat what a masterpiece. I'm so lucky to have found your channel
80s Soul Master😳
FR tho, the transition between calm but menacing on the organ and how stripped back that was into turning the grittiness (don't know the right term) up in the organs sound to prepare for the transition for an all out synth boss was absolutely insane. I love the addition of a drum beat to the boss fight, and I cant tell which segment I like better!
What I expected: Ethereal music box cover
What I got: Cyberpunk vibes
holy crap this cover is amazing
A like for that blursed profile pic.
Is it bad I know where that pfp is from?
@@techissus7449 nah, I Don't Mind.
Awesome profile pic...
Yo nice PFP. A like from me.
The soul sanctum is the best zone in the game! Thanks for this :)

We love you, DK - your music is amazing.

This channel needs more love
Man this is really good...
Beautiful how daughter of Hallownest or Mantis Lords!
I love this, it gives realy creepy vibes cuz the soul and infection over come the soul Master turning him bigger, stronger, and madder
Aww man hornets theme would sound so cool in this style
The fact that as of March 2023 this masterpiece only has 53K views is a crime. I’m so glad I found your channel and the beautiful cover of one of my favourite songs in any game. You are truly gifted and I just wish more could witness your musical genius.
You somehow managed to improve perfection
This is amazing ! Absolutely perfect !
Just amazing, any other word can describe this. A M A Z I N G '-'
This is beautiful! You nailed the eeriness and Drama of the original
I know this is hollow knight but when it gets to the soul tyrants part it feels like something out of Infinity train
Gosh, I think this might be one of my new favourite covers from you. Hollow Knight is an amazing game with amazing music and this is an AMAZING cover.
Holy shit, got goosebumps at 2:19. Excellent cover!
Edit...I bloody love this track, it's my favourite song at the moment n has been played many times, I can't wait to drive through a tunnel with this playing!
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!!! Top Tier! i love it. in fact, i would say that this rendition really brings out the movement of the entire piece.
The Soul Master part sounds like something out of Celeste. Amazing work!
Fantatsic cover as always! Have you played Will of the Whisps yet? It's fantastic. And one of the main reasons why is, because it takes everything that is great about Hollow Knight and adds it to Ori. ;)
Not yet, but I will play it for sure
@@dksmusicbox1371 you definitely should do a cover from WotW!

@@The_RedVIII its something I personally prefer over ori. Thats all lmao.
The soul sanctum is my second favorite place in hollow knight behind the city of tears
No dislikes, the Radiance must’ve didn’t mind a being trying to give himself immortality.
Also this has some Risk of Rain 2 vibes
The vibes you describe are prolly from the synth, I noticed it a bit too
Oh, this slaps
I'm back after a couple months to let you know that this is still the crunchiest cover out there. Pure funk
This is honestly my favourite soundtrack from the game simply because of how much spine chilling and dark it is.
What a wonderful cover, especially I love the soul master part of the song,one more follower and I would like to see more Hollow Knight covers (if you want of course)
HOLY shit that was amazing!!! I was not expecting all of the other instruments to hit like that! Wow!
This has no effing business being this crazy good of a cover. I'm speechless
omg this ROCKS wow!! I just discovered your channel and everything I've heard has been So Good!
Thank you Donkey Kong, very beautiful.
Just awesome! The synths for the arpeggios sounds like Hollow Knight meets Mass Effect :D
Your cover sounds a lot more hypnotic which is awesome
The best cover I've heard, with an 80s touch, perfect ! Bravo !!!
This is simply gorgeous.
How appropriate this was to the time
One of my favorite songs from the OST as well as one of my fav areas of the game!
i think it's time to stop with my soup sanctum jokes, this is too amazing
Did not expect this to go so hard! Wow! You rock
This is SO good, the playing and the camera shots are awesome!
Such an amazing song, great cover!
@1:47 what is that distortion from the organ? does that naturally happen when holding such a note or was that something else? love the sound it made
This happens when I go up with the volume, I can control that with a foot pedal. Technically, it is the tube amp running over its limit, similar to distorted guitars.

I'm crossing fingers for that, but I can't wait to hear/see your work on Greenpath from HK too ^^
OMG, my favorite Hollow Knight song. The best cover by far. I really love it!
Beautifully done. There is a royal ransoms worth of nuance in this piece which you have captured exceptionally well. Brilliantly done!
Such a pristine performance! Excellent work!!
This is one of my favourite area sound tracks. I love it!
Holy shit, for something I stumled upon so randomly that's too damn perfect!
So much respect man, you need more recognition for this!
I always felt like Christopher could've done more with that track
Some Guy It’s top 3 best tracks on the OST in my opinion, so I have no complaints at all
I don't think so, this music especially feels like as if Christopher went Hans Zimmer mode, and is one of my favourite tracks in the game. Might as well say it's my favourite.
ALTER, klingt das gut! Krasse Arbeit! Hast das Abo sowas von verdient. Deine Cover sind echt absolut top. Grüße aus dem "großen" Nachbarland :)
haha, danke dir.
Masterful as always!
We still waiting amen
For some reason this has got in my top list
мы ждали, и мы дождались
Yo, this was SICK!
Super cool cover! This is one of my favorites from HK. There's not enough covers of it though...
I think you made the best cover of this song, sounds awesome!!
To summarize my thoughts, I'll repeat key phrases from previous comments:
Philip Glass
Key Clicks
Amazing
Drama
Improve Perfection
I'm back after a couple months
Wish you had a billion views brother, keep it up!
Love it, also well shot and edited! You deserve more subs but here's mine for now :)
It's amazing dude, I'm glad that I found this gem again
Might be worth checking out the OST of Risk of Rain 2, it would fit with the synth-heavy style
You took my hollow heart 🖤
Hot damn, that's some incredible work!
Got goosebumps listening to this lol. Amazing.
Had this on a play list and thought I was hearing the spy's theme from tf2 for a second
This made me subscribe instantly. Fucking legend. You won't find any better.
I was wondering, if you ever played the original Pokemon Mystery Dungeons? I always saw them as pretty underrated, especially because of the fire soundtracks. With your talent, you could give an interesting take on like, Sky Tower or smth.
Keep up the great work man!
Thank you. I have never played the Pokemon Mystery Dungeons. Maybe I will give it a try.
Mind-blowing! Truly awesome work!!!
Awesome cover!!!
That's crazy dude 🔥🔥🔥
damn, amazing work
No se muy bien ingles, asi que lo mejor que puedo decir de este cover es...wow, sencillamente, wow

Great song !! thanks for sharing this !

@@KINGSNAKE-lh7oe well, it's a neat game. Although at one point I indeed was quite a big fan of it, even thought up a bunch of new mechanics and levels (and even a plot) for the nevercoming part 2, lol
Awesome as always !
So good
Great! Wonderful performance
Amazing

Superb man!
This gives off Risk of Rain energy
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
