Fathomless tomb really is THAT song for DRG's solo miners. A deep, dark hostile cave and it's only you to discvorer all of it's mysteries. Long, calm, yet somehow brings out feelings of vast space, along with glimpses of... hope? This song made my adventures on HoxxesIV more melancholic and lonely than any other song. Really makes you feel just how lost you can be, how beautiful this world can get.
Part of my interpretation of Fathomless Tomb is the idea that the pings in the opening are similar to the pings from lost armor, which are loot drop that spawn randomly during a run. You find the helmet of a fallen dwarf, and can dig into a parked point to find their armor. The melancholy of finding another brothers helmet, and realizing just how many others have died underneath Hoxxes, just hits while you’re making your way through the tunnels.
If you do this again, id heavily reccomend one of the more iconic songs in the game: "Leave no Dwarf Behind", its seriously emotional and really fits the mood of a song you'd hear while trying to escape hordes of aliens with your friends
Fathomless Tomb is a song about our fallen dwarven brothers who did not make it to the escape pod, it's incredibly sad once when you play solo on mission especialy escort mission, and also feels you with dread of the place you are in, Hoxxes IV is one giant fathomless tomb for countless greenbeards and graybeards who did not deserve to rest in giant unmarked grave that is Hoxxes IV, but all you can do is promise to you fallen brothers that you will not share the same fate as them, and take trinkets from their armors and broken pickaxes as a memorial
I heavily agree with this, especially if you imagine the tunnels they might've dug, drawings on the wall purely for fun, leftover rations on the floor, and most of all, the way they died. Be it a leg missing from their skeleton and over to the left a dead Praetorian carcass with said missing leg in or by its jaws. Just imagine staring at that and imagining what sort of horrific event taken place. Knowing that it could happen to you too at any moment but brave enough to take it head on.
It's interesting when you compare Risk of Rain and DRG soundtrack, they both have two soundtracks for combat and for pure atmospheric ambiance in alien world and yet they are both extremely different whilst both still perfectly convey the sense of urge and the sense of wonder. Two great games, two great soundtracks.
Thank you for the kind words - I composed this score and I’m especially proud of this track. Also I love what you did on the strings at the end! If you ever feel like reacting to my band Sunraker its all available on the band’s channel. Much love and keep up the great work! Sophus Alf Agerbæk-Larsen
This score is straight flames. Easily up there with the original Hitman OST for me, which has been an all time favorite. Also love the sound of Sunraker - keep it up 🔥
out of all of them i need to recommend robot getaway, that's like *the* deep rock song, its used in all the trailers EDIT: and Journey of the Prospector, it was Troel's swan song shortly before leaving the company to pursue other paths
Fathomless Tomb is such a powerful song for me, and the only from the DRG soundtrack that regularly makes me tear up while listening. Think about it: you're on a planet where everything wants to kill you. No lights, only the comradery of your workmates and your own wits keeping you from joining the countless dead in the cave. Those dwarves never came back. Lives, extinguished entirely by the vast, empty, and cruel-ness of the planet. A catacomb, a tomb of your kind, unfathomably large, deep, and dark... And yet you keep going. You have to, unless you want to join those who were lost in the deep. Truly a very somber, and even mournful song if you think about it enough.
The first part of Unfathomable Tomb with the occasional beeping is harkening to the count-down noise dwarves hear both when starting a mission and after clearing a mission.
My suggestion for the next track would be "Follow Molly" (possibly batched together with any of the other Extraction tracks: "Robot Getaway", "The Last Ascent", "Leave no Dwarf Behind", "March of the Brave", "I Welcome the Darkness"; by the way, the game's wiki includes a handy list of tracks and when they play).
@@LionmightOfficial I hear you! I just noticed that your first DRG video included similarly-themed combat tracks, I was wondering whether that was intentional and/or whether you want to keep it that way. Of course, it's your call!
@@dside_ru I rank the requests by frequency of comments. And then I look at the viewcounts in the TH-cam playlists, and average them that way. Any categorical association is purely coincidental.
Kudos on listening to the long track over a few shorter ones. I can’t remember where I’ve heard this in game! Probably fading in in the middle of an icy deep dive to remind you that if you linger too long, you may remain forever
Oooh yeah. *The* song to earn the achievement "I like it down here" (stay in one mission for over an hour). But generally yeah, it subtly chimes in the background, barely audible, when nothing in particular is happening. Easily drowns in the sound of pickaxes hitting the rock. Or sand. Or wood. Or crystal. Whatever, really.
honestly, more than your reactions, Im coming here to listen to you talk about music in a way that it relates to other artforms talking about writing it, about constructing it, about influences and improvization now and I never thought of music in that way, in how its the same as other artforms the end product never rings (ha) in my head as reltable to other artforms but there it is, in plain english
Aye, Fathomless Tomb is the song that really drives in just how insignificant you can be, you are but a dwarf, amongst hundreds if not thousands working for a company that doesn't really care about you, all the while, the darkness of the caves, no matter how many flares you have, will always be creeping in. You have weapons with hundreds of bullets, but the planet you walk has millions of bodies, and all it can take is one bad step to fall into the abyss.
I would still highly recommend Furi's ost, it's one of my all-time favorites. You play as a person trying to escape from a prison specifically designed for you and the music really amps you up for the boss rush you're about to go through.
One song that really makes one's heart to yearn for times that never were is Ode to the Fallen. Also Interstellar Nightmares is a godsend. Horrors of Hoxxes has such an eerie and creepy vibe, as if you are being hunted by something much, much larger than you... (which is true)
This was my first video of yours String. And I have to say, I'm definitely going to have to start binging. What I wouldn't do to get a full 'cover' of Fathomless Tomb with your amazing, melancholic Violin playing over it.
The ambient music, I believe, is used to the same effect as the music in zelda botw/totk. It might feel random and directionless, or "stream of consciousness" as you politely put it, but the disconnectedness of it syncs up with in game events. For example, you're looking down a deep dark pit and those male vocals pop in at just the right time to really sell that sense of foreboding. Then soon after, you see something pretty as the female vocals kick in. Or, things seem eerily quiet as those staggered, infrequent notes play. The music not only matches the game, it uplifts it and punctuates every moment.
Furthermore, the thing fits into the lore. It has the wort *tomb* in its name. And what do we hear scattered throughout the entire super melancholic track? Pings that roughly all sound the same, most likely distress calls, the last remnants of prior teams that met their ends here. The entire track is super eerie because you can basically hear the corpes of your former colleages
Your here in the middle of a literal fathomless tomb, you will die on this planet its just a matter of when... This song will always be my favorite because it is the closest to describing that feeling of awe and wonder.
the high pitch probe sound at the start feels like a lone 'help!' signal being sent out into the vast emptiness of the cave (from former fallen brothers), with the 'dwarf' humming kinda representing both the (fallen?) dwarves themselves but also the cave itself calling to you (or calling you deeper). There are some higher overtones representing the beauty revealed as you explore it, with the deeper ambiance representing the unsettling unknown creeping in the background. Every now and again there are some twinkling sounds throughout, for the occasional vein of nitra (resources) glimmering through the darkness, until the final portion when it scales up as you reach the final, large open cave. it really is a great representation of the atmosphere of being a dwarf, exploring uncharted territory for treasure deep underground.
Just an idea, but i’d recommend the Cosmoteer soundtrack! Lesser-known game about space vessel building and shooting other spacecrafts, and more. The OST has Struggle and Voyager versions, a lot like Ultrakill’s Calm and Combat track variations. Check it out!
I'd love for you to cover the Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus soundtrack. It's tough to pick songs to recommend but most tend to go with Children of the Omnissiah, Noosphere and Dance of the Cryptek.
It has always felt like the music in this game has been in universe as well, like these are the 'modern' versions of classic dwarven music from their home planet, long ago.
Favorite part of this track is in the imagery. (Or at least the imagery I get from it) You’ve got the fade in of the soft, high-pitched, almost angelic sounding voice invoking the feeling if seeing the otherworldly beauty of the untouched caves of Hoxxes IV, but right after that comes a deep, powerful, bassey voice, invoking the the dangers hiding in the shadows, with both voices singing the same melody, embodying two sides of the same wondrously beautiful, but mercilessly deadly planet.
My favourite song from the soundtrack is ‘They’re Here!” It’s one of the songs that activate upon a wave happening and/or some sort of mission event you need to worry about a bunch of enemies. Get goosebumps every time I hear it in game as if living in the battle the music describes, without so much as a word.
After a successful morkite extraction, management sends down the drop pod, ready to retrieve you and your pals, few glyphids try and stand in your way, but you all gun them down with ease. Coming up out of the cave, a ping shows up on your radar, a different route you didnt notice on the way down, you all follow it. Seeing the remnants of glyphids, but also a trail of blood, as a helmet appears, the squad falls silent... Calling the mule, you hoist this dwarfs body onto her, you all seat him on the drop pod, not a word spoken between you, your beards holding back the deep sorrow you feel... "No dwarf left behind" you say, as you raise your pickaxes, in memory of a fellow dwarf, who died for rock and stone..
Mining in the depths is a lonely job, even with others - particularly when those others come and go, leaving you knowing few when you meet so many. Some lost for good, others just moving elsewhere. The uncaring yet watchful eye of the company, and the equally watchful eyes down there with you, but it's a beautiful place in spite of the danger, and even because of it at times. Superorganisms humbled, incomprehensibly densely populated species of so many forms, all in this endless sprawl of caverns and tunnels, twisting corridors and wide-open rooms that almost feel like they're outside, open to the sky. But with a ceiling of rock always hemming you in, vast boundaries of stone separating one place from another. It's vastly interesting and yet.. sad, in a way, that's hard to explain. So much was lost here, and so much won't ever be known. That's what this song is about.
to me, the sounds used are creating a story in my head that i can visualise. the beeps and boops are a beacon or a depth charge, the echoing sounds make you think of a cave or cavern, there might have been the sounds of an animal that lives in the caves in a deeper part of the cavern, the sawing sound might be a laser drill or something similiar, the low pitched chorus are the dwarves, the high pitched voice might be representing the dwarves having found a treasure or precious material.
I'd love to see you react to some Binding of Isaac songs, especially "Living in the Light" and "Revelations 13-1". There are multiple soundtracks for different versions of the game so there are a lot more potential ones as well.
I would love to see you react to some of my favorite songs from the FURI soundtrack! My first two requests would be: Make This Right ~The Toxic Avenger You're Mine ~Carpenter Burt
honestly would love to see your reactions to NSR's music (No Straight Roads), it's a game ABOUT music and its soundtrack bounces around a bunch of genres and styles of both electronic and rock music and it's pretty cool. the game also has a mechanic where the boss' theme becomes more and more rock the further you progress EDIT: the in-game mixes are the ones that give the whole experience of the bossfight. They're pretty long, but a joy to listen to
highly recommend "March of the Brave", "The Last Ascent" and "Robot Getaway", but now when i think about it, all of the extraction songs are ultimate bangers that make me leave no dwarf behind
The Pings at the start make me think of a beacon abandoned or lost in the dark still chiming it's signal just in case there happens to be a listener to hear it this time.
Niiiice. In the community we appreciate Fathomless Tomb big time because, especially suggested by the title, it reminds us of the hundreds of dwarves that lost their lives working in Hoxxes. When you think about it, yeah. The planet is a tomb, a cemetery, of inconceivable measure. If I have to make suggestions, I'd have to suggest some community favourites, A Distant Terror and Robot Getaway, as well as my personal favourite, March of the Brave.
Scanner bleepings, father's singing, and with more and more time you start to notice all the beauty of the place around you. Sparkles in walls, which was not made for your eyes, but lucky, you're the observer of this deep and dangerous beauty
the Binding of Isaac has a *ton* of great tracks spanning multiple artists, DLCs, and fanmade content. a few key essentials to really engross you into the theme of the game would be "Genesis Retake Light," "Crusade (Basic Boss Fight)," "Living in the Light," "River of Despair" and "Machine in the Walls" to name a few. There's just *so* many bangers to choose from that just these probably won't do it justice.
Man o man, such an ethereal track. Too good. If I had to suggest something, gotta be Everhood. A few I would suggest is probably "Frogs are Friends" and "You want Gnomes". Thank you SPG, for all that you do.
I personally enjoy "They're here", as it has a strong tail-end upswing that always gets my blood pumping. It somehow gets me to focus and fight harder against the buggy hordes!
I'd like to recommend a game soundtrack to you. Transistor. Most tracks have no vocals, but the few that do sound like they should be on some top indie label.
I loved the soundtrack for Hi-fi Rush, even the stand in songs for the copyrighted music. Though the first that comes to mind is 'Production destruction'.
Man why did TH-cam not notify me of the followup video, I loved the first one on DRG and I was hoping for a followup but TH-cam apparently thought I had other things on my mind.
If DRG ever got a show or animated series of any kind, fan-made or official, this would be perfect for flashbacks, or even for a scene of a team of dwarves venturing into a cave with nothing in it. No bugs, no gold, no nothing, only...something else. Something from deeper into Hoxxes yet to be seen.
Fathomless Tomb reminds me of the OST from Dungeon Keeper 1-2. In a good way. Both are underground, with mystery, emptiness, lonesomeness, and at the same time with a glint of distant hope. In DK you ruled the darkness. In DRG, you conquer the darkness. You take parts of it with you, you triumph over it. For a time But in the end it is always bigger than you, always unfathomable. Sooner or later it becomes your tomb, a pack of lost gear for the others to find. For those we lost. Rock and stone.
I wasn’t aware of your desire to listen without context. Knowing that now, I still recommend A Distant Terror and Horrors of Hoxxes. Very good pieces that embody the parts of this game based on 90s horror films.
Dude, your format is awesome! I love listening to you play along. Your strings on this one complimented the song so well. I like your version better. So incredibly rad. You got a subscribe from me. That's a no-brainer. Edit: The score to the game SIgnails is so worth listening to. I'd love to see how you play along with that sound and to hear your thoughts on what they composed.
Please talk about Sonic Mania, there is so much amazing songs, metallic madness, studiopolis, Mirage Saloon, all songs have two version, act 2 being the evolution, remix, response of act 1, it's so great
Hi when you get a chance you should take a look at the soundtracks for Fatshark's lineup of Warhammer titles, they are all done by an amazing composer named Jesper Kyd who is up there as one of my top 5 favorite game composers. - Warhammer: The End Times: Vermintide - Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - Warhammer 40,000: Darktide On another note, Deep Rock Galactic is one of my favorite games period. The sound design and music are one of many key parts of what makes DRG a timeless classic. Rock and Stone.
I'd love to see you're reaction to the Murder Drones OST. It's not a game but a show instead, and I personally think some of the soundtrack sounds great. I'd recommend "The Knife Dance" and/or "Nothing Personal Kid"
Funny you should mention The Hobbit, there's an excellent montage "The Hobbit dubbed with Deep Rock Galactic sound effects". Which is… mostly what is says it is. But it includes a theme "In the Belly of the Beast" (which you have *not* covered so far) so you might want to get through that first.
This song really sounds like a Salvage Mission in game, where you recover the equipment left behind from some dwarves who died. You have to repair a bunch of derelict equipment that's laying about haphazardly, while wondering what exactly took out the previous crew?
Without knowing the context of the game. Fathomless Tomb sounds like the type of theme you'd hear as soon as you enter a silent, cold, underground citadel or crypt of some kind.
hey man, love your reaction vids, just wanted to request this because no one EVER did a reaction video on this ost which is sad. So do you think you can make a reaction vid on Trepang2 OST? It sounds really unique, hardcore, and there are plenty of tracks but feel free to choose any if you can't make a reaction vid on all of them. With that said, i really hope i can finally see a reaction vid on it because it bangs!
this is what it feels like to solo plummet several thousand meters deep into the least hospitable planet in the whole known universe - to traverse enmious caves with no rays of surface light and highly populated by hostile creatures, both from flora and fauna - and yet the simple formations of rocks, various minerals and an array of glowing silicate crystals form a vistas that are... kinda beutiful shame we have to level it all - **unpacks my powered drills and C4s** let's *rock&roll*

"No dwarf left behind" you say, as you raise your pickaxes, in memory of a fellow dwarf, who died for rock and stone..
Mining in the depths is a lonely job, even with others - particularly when those others come and go, leaving you knowing few when you meet so many. Some lost for good, others just moving elsewhere. The uncaring yet watchful eye of the company, and the equally watchful eyes down there with you, but it's a beautiful place in spite of the danger, and even because of it at times. Superorganisms humbled, incomprehensibly densely populated species of so many forms, all in this endless sprawl of caverns and tunnels, twisting corridors and wide-open rooms that almost feel like they're outside, open to the sky. But with a ceiling of rock always hemming you in, vast boundaries of stone separating one place from another. It's vastly interesting and yet.. sad, in a way, that's hard to explain. So much was lost here, and so much won't ever be known.
That's what this song is about.
We′re sending you in deep, so be on your guard
Scanners indicate particularly rich veins of
Morkite and gold further down
Bring it back boys!
If you'll do more, I suggest "March of the Brave" and "Leave No Dwarf Behind". Both are my favourite of escape themes!
I'd like to suggest "Dead Cells" soundtrack:
- Prisoner's awakening
- Clocktower
to me, the sounds used are creating a story in my head that i can visualise. the beeps and boops are a beacon or a depth charge, the echoing sounds make you think of a cave or cavern, there might have been the sounds of an animal that lives in the caves in a deeper part of the cavern, the sawing sound might be a laser drill or something similiar, the low pitched chorus are the dwarves, the high pitched voice might be representing the dwarves having found a treasure or precious material.
I'd love to see you react to some Binding of Isaac songs, especially "Living in the Light" and "Revelations 13-1". There are multiple soundtracks for different versions of the game so there are a lot more potential ones as well.
"My innermost apocalypse" and "Machine in the Walls" are great ones from the other versions.
It'd definitely be awesome seeing you react to more songs from this game! Such an amazing soundtrack.
I would love to see you react to some of my favorite songs from the FURI soundtrack!
My first two requests would be:
Make This Right ~The Toxic Avenger
You're Mine ~Carpenter Burt
Fathomless Tomb really makes you feel like you're in an endless cave. Good job composer
3:16 there’s nothing like a dwarven choir humming
honestly would love to see your reactions to NSR's music (No Straight Roads), it's a game ABOUT music and its soundtrack bounces around a bunch of genres and styles of both electronic and rock music and it's pretty cool. the game also has a mechanic where the boss' theme becomes more and more rock the further you progress
EDIT: the in-game mixes are the ones that give the whole experience of the bossfight. They're pretty long, but a joy to listen to
highly recommend "March of the Brave", "The Last Ascent" and "Robot Getaway", but now when i think about it, all of the extraction songs are ultimate bangers that make me leave no dwarf behind
Gotta absolutely do Fighting the Shadows, it's the best dreadnought theme! Also probably my favourite in the whole OST
Just stumbled upon your video while browsing, rock and stone!, have you looked at Darktide’s soundtrack yet? If not I’d love to see a vid on that.
The Pings at the start make me think of a beacon abandoned or lost in the dark still chiming it's signal just in case there happens to be a listener to hear it this time.
I like how he's imagining space when the majority of the game takes place in caves far below where you can even catch a glimpse of the sky.
That Part of you at the end was Majestic
Niiiice. In the community we appreciate Fathomless Tomb big time because, especially suggested by the title, it reminds us of the hundreds of dwarves that lost their lives working in Hoxxes. When you think about it, yeah. The planet is a tomb, a cemetery, of inconceivable measure.
If I have to make suggestions, I'd have to suggest some community favourites, A Distant Terror and Robot Getaway, as well as my personal favourite, March of the Brave.
I believe you experience music different from the majority of people and it's cool to see your passion for music on display.
Exactly that. Thank you!
Scanner bleepings, father's singing, and with more and more time you start to notice all the beauty of the place around you. Sparkles in walls, which was not made for your eyes, but lucky, you're the observer of this deep and dangerous beauty
Rimworld's OST is very good imo, definitely worth checking out.
the Binding of Isaac has a *ton* of great tracks spanning multiple artists, DLCs, and fanmade content. a few key essentials to really engross you into the theme of the game would be "Genesis Retake Light," "Crusade (Basic Boss Fight)," "Living in the Light," "River of Despair" and "Machine in the Walls" to name a few. There's just *so* many bangers to choose from that just these probably won't do it justice.
Man o man, such an ethereal track. Too good. If I had to suggest something, gotta be Everhood. A few I would suggest is probably "Frogs are Friends" and "You want Gnomes". Thank you SPG, for all that you do.
I personally enjoy "They're here", as it has a strong tail-end upswing that always gets my blood pumping. It somehow gets me to focus and fight harder against the buggy hordes!
you really need to do Robot Getaway!
Ooh, your playing reminds me a bit of the Witcher at the end there :D
I'd like to recommend a game soundtrack to you. Transistor. Most tracks have no vocals, but the few that do sound like they should be on some top indie label.
For Rock and Stone!
Rock and Stone brotha, Rock and stone!
Nothing hits like Fathomless Tomb playing Solo
My favorite song from this game is ode to the fallen, it only plays in the memorial hall and its fucking amazing
I loved the soundtrack for Hi-fi Rush, even the stand in songs for the copyrighted music. Though the first that comes to mind is 'Production destruction'.
Man why did TH-cam not notify me of the followup video, I loved the first one on DRG and I was hoping for a followup but TH-cam apparently thought I had other things on my mind.
If DRG ever got a show or animated series of any kind, fan-made or official, this would be perfect for flashbacks, or even for a scene of a team of dwarves venturing into a cave with nothing in it. No bugs, no gold, no nothing, only...something else. Something from deeper into Hoxxes yet to be seen.
Fathomless Tomb reminds me of the OST from Dungeon Keeper 1-2. In a good way. Both are underground, with mystery, emptiness, lonesomeness, and at the same time with a glint of distant hope.
In DK you ruled the darkness.
In DRG, you conquer the darkness. You take parts of it with you, you triumph over it. For a time
But in the end it is always bigger than you, always unfathomable. Sooner or later it becomes your tomb, a pack of lost gear for the others to find.
For those we lost.
Rock and stone.
I wasn’t aware of your desire to listen without context. Knowing that now, I still recommend A Distant Terror and Horrors of Hoxxes. Very good pieces that embody the parts of this game based on 90s horror films.
You can see when he gets to the part of Fathomless Tomb that Hits Different.
Dude, your format is awesome! I love listening to you play along. Your strings on this one complimented the song so well. I like your version better. So incredibly rad. You got a subscribe from me. That's a no-brainer.
Edit: The score to the game SIgnails is so worth listening to. I'd love to see how you play along with that sound and to hear your thoughts on what they composed.
Glad you enjoy it! Welcome aboard!
@@LionmightOfficial I just noticed that I spelled Signalis way wrong in my comment. Anyways, have a good one!
This song is on par with the Xen song from Black Mesa in terms of how much hearing each makes me crave to play the game again/more.
ROCK AND STONE!
Did i hear a rock and stone?
FA KARL!
ROCK AND STONE!
Please talk about Sonic Mania, there is so much amazing songs, metallic madness, studiopolis, Mirage Saloon, all songs have two version, act 2 being the evolution, remix, response of act 1, it's so great
While maybe not that popular of a choice, 'Absolute Zero' is a favorite of mine for ambient BGM in Deep Rock Galactic.
Hi when you get a chance you should take a look at the soundtracks for Fatshark's lineup of Warhammer titles, they are all done by an amazing composer named Jesper Kyd who is up there as one of my top 5 favorite game composers.
- Warhammer: The End Times: Vermintide
- Warhammer: Vermintide 2
- Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
On another note, Deep Rock Galactic is one of my favorite games period. The sound design and music are one of many key parts of what makes DRG a timeless classic. Rock and Stone.
For ambient spooky music, I can’t think of a better game ost than factorio
Rock and Stone dwarven brothers! ⛏
I'd love to see you review some of the original Plants Vs Zombies soundtracks such as, "Graze the Roof".
do ode to the fallen, just do it
and also ROCK AND STONE!!!!!!!!!!!
Rock and Stone, in the heart
Well, now we wait another video)
ROCK AND STONE!!!!!
I'd love to see you're reaction to the Murder Drones OST. It's not a game but a show instead, and I personally think some of the soundtrack sounds great. I'd recommend "The Knife Dance" and/or "Nothing Personal Kid"
Funny you should mention The Hobbit, there's an excellent montage "The Hobbit dubbed with Deep Rock Galactic sound effects". Which is… mostly what is says it is.
But it includes a theme "In the Belly of the Beast" (which you have *not* covered so far) so you might want to get through that first.
If you really want a unique soundtrack, I highly recommend Mechanicus. Especially the twin tracks "Noosphere" and "Children of the Omnissiah"
I reckon you would enjoy the Returnal soundtrack, I'd recommend Echoing ruins and Matriarch.
This song really sounds like a Salvage Mission in game, where you recover the equipment left behind from some dwarves who died. You have to repair a bunch of derelict equipment that's laying about haphazardly, while wondering what exactly took out the previous crew?
THe Game FEZ has an incredible Soundtrack, you could start with the title adventure.
Without knowing the context of the game. Fathomless Tomb sounds like the type of theme you'd hear as soon as you enter a silent, cold, underground citadel or crypt of some kind.
Rock and Stone! I love this game, I hope you listen to more soon! ❤
You better do “hold my beard”
I fist heard this in Azure Weald. It reminds me of Halo Combat Evolved in certain places. 5:45 and 8:20
I'd recommend checking out the soundtracks for the original 3 Halo games, the original 3 Ratchet & Clank games, and the first 2 Dead Space games.
hey man, love your reaction vids, just wanted to request this because no one EVER did a reaction video on this ost which is sad. So do you think you can make a reaction vid on Trepang2 OST? It sounds really unique, hardcore, and there are plenty of tracks but feel free to choose any if you can't make a reaction vid on all of them.
With that said, i really hope i can finally see a reaction vid on it because it bangs!
this is what it feels like to solo plummet several thousand meters deep into the least hospitable planet in the whole known universe - to traverse enmious caves with no rays of surface light and highly populated by hostile creatures, both from flora and fauna - and yet the simple formations of rocks, various minerals and an array of glowing silicate crystals form a vistas that are... kinda beutiful
shame we have to level it all - **unpacks my powered drills and C4s**
let's *rock&roll*
the salmon run music from Splatoon 3 and maybe the music in story mode for splatoon 3. both have very different vibes
