FINALLY HOLLOWKNIGHT AND SILK SONG MUSIC. Fuck yeah dude, I agree with my man. The subscribe button is going to be nailed to my fridge, a testament to good music.
@@RecDud3they’re probably desperately trying to make the game better and better to match the hype. It’s hopeless, the hype grows with each passing day, meanwhile a game can only be so good.
I unironically hope Team Cherry Focuses on the main game and content rather than add hundreds of unrelated features. They only made one game to my knowledge :). edit: was a reply to another comment.
@@hexretro8112when did I ever mention adding hundreds of features. I said making the game _better,_ not _worse._ which usually means diversifying artwork, adding more intricate detail, ensuring little things like an ice attack melting when it hits some small unimportant thing that reasonably should be hot like a lightbulb are added, thereby making the world more interactible and feel like a place rather than an obstacle course, making the characters more lifelike and diverse both in terms of individually and adding more, and changing around the environment to make it feel and be better. Polishing what you have to a pristine shine. I realize now that these words could be taken drastically differently depending on their tone. To avoid confusion and hostility, the tone of the text above this is: confusion in the first sentence, neutral tone in the second, and the rest is me explaining passionately about something I like.
I'd love to see shade lord as a secret endgame boss for silksong, though the chances of that happening are unfortunately basically zero. Oh well, there's always mods
maybe we will find him in a DLC, and he will be the true finale boss that shows us how the world became once void toke over, kinda like slave knight geal from DS3
I don't understand why the godhome ending would be a cliffhanger if the hollow knight and him aren't in the game somwhow.somehow. they wouldn't make a cliffhanger ending like that for no reason.
We see in the final arena the challenge prompt when facing the world's crescent moon, but then its revealed that the shadow across it was the Shade Lord resting on it making it a crescent when it was actually a full moon.
@agent8395my headcanon is that the Shade Lord is in every vessel, but the Knight was the only one that it deemed “worthy” of being it’s host, which awakened the Lord of Shades
Im not sure how would they make him work with the gameplay of silksong as he seems to be closer to something you would see in terraria BUT if they can pull that off I'm all in.
Genuinely incredible. My heart sank hearing the main Hollow Knight melody and then sank ever farther hearing Hornets theme kick in. You are wildly talented.
By the end of the game Hornet and the Knight were allied it seemed, as they fought together to defeat the Radiance, so what would have changed in order for them to be fighting again?
@@devikjha4173 They aren't the same. The Knight is one of many vessels, a perfect one arguably. The Shade Lord is a God in Hallownest, most likely the strongest one. A Godseeker's focus "enhances" beings within it's own realm. In this case, what is enhanced is not the Vessel itself, but rather the Shadow within the vessel, and the Void Heart charm. The focus greatly elevating it's aspects, in term creating The Shade Lord. We don't know it's intentions lmao it's a God, and knowing how badly all void beings suffered in the story, they ain't content. I'd say the bossfight which could occour would mostly be about somehow seperating the void heart charm from The Shade Lord, or damaging it, causing it to revert back to it's original state.
@@21stcenturypeasant5 that's actually a pretty cool idea. that the void in the knight merged together with the void heart, and was amplified by the godseeker, and grew into a single being that goes beserk, and at the end hornet has to free their sibling by destroying the void heart charm.
"Funny then, that such darkness gives me hope. Within it, I see the chance of change." welp, think again hornet This is amazing though, love the music! Art is sick too :D
and the welcome to hallownest and the sealed vessel (both first and second part) and a bit of other songs like nightmare king and the radiance and ... and queen of hallownest and so much more omg can i stop please (yes, but will i?)
And it makes total sense because it's Hornet vs Shade Lord after all. It also makes sense that some of Hornet's theme is present whereas the Knight doesn't have any theme present in any of the themes, because Hornet has a "voice" to speak, whereas the Knight doesn't.
It also brings meaning to man on the internets lyrics for hornet If you succeed then hallowed be thy name It will be hallowed for the wrong reason I know the lyrics aren’t cannon but normally after listening to a music theme that has had lyrics added to I can hear the lyrics in the original song
You cannot hide from us Christopher Larkin. Jokes aside this is insane??? Like this is REALLY good, I don't think I have anything to say that the pinned comment hasn't already lmao
Ever get this feeling. Like when the music is such a banger that you start daydreaming your own scenario? Yeah. this legend of a track made me feel this way and it's amazing😳
This is so fucking peak, I’m losing my mind. The use of the vessel motif, and the Hornet theme, and the drums, and the vocals, and the strings, and everything. This is way too good
I love how it has the background creepiness of the void, but on top of that it's aggressive due to the Lord of Shade's will and wrath. Then there's the sealed vessel theme, signifying the tragic past, which quickly becomes threatening, as that old self is gone. There's the chanting, which shows the LoS's divinity, just like the Radiance. And then there is Hornet's theme, as she gains the power to win (queensoul, cool idea). And now I wonder if/how Hornet's theme will appear in Silksong. Unlike in Hollow Knight where the main themes show up when you discover important things, Hornet isn't connected to Pharloom (that we know of). I'm sure it'll show up somewhere, but she's not a boss this time.
Oh my GOD! AH! This is so good! Seriously, I love this so much. It's such a unique sound, with some of the choral elements (getting heavy Shriek and Ori, from WotW vibes), but still feels distinctly Hollow Knight, especially with the strings. I love all the leitmotifs, calling back to Sealed Vessel, the main theme, Hornet's theme... The idea I'm inferring from this (and the artwork), that the Shade Lord from the Godmaster ending is the final boss, and it's Hornet fighting it? Ah, that's so cool! And this perfectly captures it, I think- it'd be such a different fight, and feel to anything else in the game. Absolutely incredible work, please continue making music man, you're amazing!
The Shade Lord has become a monster, destroying anything and anyone that gives off even a speck of light, in some vain effort to submerge all in Void. No one remembers its original form, although very few remember what it has done, and only one knows how it became this way. The daughter of Hallownest and half-sister to the Shade Lord, who had conquered a kingdom previously thought unreal, has to save the shell of a kingdom she calls home. The daughter of Wyrm and beast, against the embodiment of darkness itself…
genuinely stunning, this music is loaded with i̶n̶n̶u̶e̶n̶d̶o̶ references. i love the use of various leitmotifs, this is truly a masterpiece of composition. keep up the good work, you're very talented!
@@dutonic maybe, english isn't my mother tongue lmao i sometimes try to speak it with more formal terms in order to achieve some progress but the risk of making semantic errors increases accordingly haha
I love how it goes from the usual vessel motif into Hornet’s theme! And something about that part right at the end, before Hornet’s theme comes in (right near here 6:47 I think), made me think of the Radiance fight. Not sure how, just an odd feeling. This song feels like a passing of the torch in a way, like this is what solidifies Hornet as her own separate character, not just a character in another’s world. No longer is it Hollow Knight: Silksong, it is instead now simply: *Silksong.*
I've been addicted to this song since it came out. It's that good. And I can't imagine what could happen if Silksong collaborates with others on fan music. SO BASICALLY WE WANT A COLLECTIVE SILKSONG ALBUM WITH DYLSCORE (THIS NEW GUY).
By the shadows, that was truly a spectacle! It rekindled the essence of this game, reminding me of its boundless wonders. And the final boss? A marvel beyond words. Your craftsmanship is nothing short of extraordinary. AWESOME JOB
It really feels like the song of the ruler of the abyss. We can assume that the boss is the hollow knight in the most powerful form ever seen, and I would love to see all the songs related to a silksong motiv in the game, and then you fight THIS, and the song is more related to the original game. That would be absolutely NUTS.
Apex of the Abyss - THE SHADE LORD Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! It's so fitting with the style of Hollow Knight's musical style while also applying Silksong's seeming inclination over string instruments across it's own. Not to mention how ominous and opressive the "Heart of the Abyss" part is contrasting with "Queensoul"'s strained hope. It's so powerful and memorable, and i can only hope the real thing can provide something just as incredible as this. Amazing work overall!
this genuinely rekindled my hype for silksong a bit imagining the amazing fight that would go with this phenomenally made track, absolute masterpiece right here. when the vessel theme kicks in around minute 2 it's actually godly I can't lie, same with hornets theme around the 5 and 7 minute marks. this genuinely sounds like something right out of hollow knight, well damn done.
This video single-handedly reignited my hype for silksong Even though the shade lord will likely not be the final boss, the concept itself is just amazing
PIANO COVER WHEN. I NEED TO PLAY THIS UNTIL MY FINGERS ARE DUST AND THE WORLD IS FIRE, IF NO ONE ELSE WILL MAKE ONE I'LL HAVE TO AND IT WON'T BE ANYWHERE AS GOOD
Tbh. I think it might be even cooler if the boss screen title is just "The Void". Since that is pretty much all he is. With the title changing as the battle progresses.
This is SOOOO good. I imagine the first phase being you fighting "the knight", well, at least whats left of him, and then on the inbetween we have a cutscene where the knights shell breaks open and the shade lord finally breaks free, revealing his true strengh. You fight him a while, untill you eventually get him into a Radience style escape phase, where your "Silk-soul" (a combination of the silk of spiders and soul of the higher beings, which Hornet unites) gains in strengh and like the shades in Radience, you start winning and taking the upper hand. Ending in finishing the shade lord off, perfectly timed with the music ending. I cant wait to see it all myself.......... in about a thousand years:)
@@ElGoobero-jv7xb No, "little ghost" is what Hornet called him, and its very likely that the names are stemming from the main character themself, who make up names for what they are fighting. Also, "little ghost" sounds better and is a reference to Hollow Knight.
Hauntingly beautiful, epic, and very fitting for the Lord himself. Although, gotta agree, almost had a heart attack at the title. The references to other themes are awesome.
I suggested the idea of a void related song for the Silksong series like a year ago. I don’t know weather that’s why you made the song but it’s awesome regardless. It sounds like that as you fight the shade lord you are slowly spiraling down into the void, getting farther and farther from the beautiful shining citadel at Pharloom’s peak.
The seed of this idea was actually planted in my mind on the Sharp Shadow video by @goddessdeedeebubblesofimag7789. But it wasn't until I got the idea of weaving Hornet's theme into the final boss theme that this song really started coming together in my mind. I would never have imagined writing something 7 and a half minutes though. It was pretty brutal.
Can imagine the boss being like before the battle "I was forgotten... cast aside... abused... all for the sake of blotching out your wretched sun that proclaimed itself a god. Yet... now that I'm freed of such trivial disputes and move onward... THIS IS HOW YOU THANK ME?! Your nothing but the trophy of a deal... a deal your mother made just to please a selfish false ruler and to save what little pride she had left! Witness... dear daughter of hallownest... the birth of your DEMISE!"
The light fades from Pharloom's peak, an earth shattering rumbling as the night floods the sky. From the all encompassing night, it descends, eyes aglow. The Knight has ascended... The Dark given form... The Shade Lord awakens Also I'm in love with this track.
This song has given me nothing but chills. Truly, this is only describable as Radiant. Amazing job Dutonic! excited to see what things you cook up next
This is incredible! And you used so many motifs from the original game! I heard echoes of the Knight's theme and then Sealed Vessel right after. And then more of that later on, it's so satisfying hearing those motifs put together this way. Beautiful work and sounds like it would fit perfectly in the game. Mix-wise the string sound is spot on as well. Christopher Larkin was my 2nd to top-listened artist in 2022 so this is right up my alley as well. Certainly will be checking out your other work 💜
The first part of the song gives me the vibe of someone researching or discovering something, perhaps some kind of weakness, or plotting a way to defeat this great foe Around minute 2 it transitions into this moment of actually preparing this plan that he's concocted. Around minute 3 the preparations are finished and this person is anticipating the arrival of the great foe Around minute 4 the great foe arrives the person is seeing his plan unravel as his theories and plans are put into practice. Around minute 5, through minute 6 they continue to clash against each other in battle Lastly, nearing the end of the song the battle sees itself a winner.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Genuinely the vibes transferred through the music are so strong. Something specific that I heard in the song is the strong bee energy in phase 2, which gave me a sort of eldritch desperation vibe. You've broke down its physical form. It's out of the energy needed to present in a logical way. The end of Phase 1 also really does well to demonstrate the hope of finally striking the killing blow and having it on its last legs then you stab it in the heart and what comes out isn't blood but eldritch and horrible power and intelligence. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm just trying to process this music beyond the way that it's clearing out my entire brain. I wish you success. Keep making this beautiful music. I will be listening to your whole body of work. My brain chemistry is destroyed. May you become rich and famous. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. It's so clear how much love and effort and tweaking went into creating this piece and I've already gone through your other Hollow Knight related stuff and I don't know how your two area themes didn't get traction because I really love them. I can feel the dread of how much your music is going to consume my thoughts. It's like approaching a waterfall and knowing that you're fuck. I can feel the autism stirring. This might be worse than the PvZ orchestral remixes. Oh God.
As a person who hadn't interacted with hollow knight for years, I almost got a heart attack, I immediately checked daily silksong news only to be disappointed.
In all honesty, this song must be the best song I have ever heard. From the start to the finish, there was a beutiful composition of synergy between all the major themes in Hollow Knight, like, for example, The Hollow Knight's theme, Hornet's theme and many others which all combined together with the excellent playing of the violin, make a canvas that in it of itself is THE definition of Hollow Knight's music. Calling this work of art anything other than a masterpiece would be criminal. Bravo mr. Dutonic, just... bravo. You fully earned my subscribtion and my respect. Keep it up.
Love the job u did with the original hollow knight tracks, the music is insane. U must have worked really hard to reach something like that. Cannot wait to see ur next work. Congrats🎉
Dude this is a banger. This would make an amazing theme for a challenging final boss. I can see It being super intense, haveing to constantly and consistently move around and attack at the same time all the while the boss Is throwing attacks straight back at ya. I hope we get this type of stuff actually In the game.
God this is so beautiful and impressive dude. Hopefully ill get as good at making orchestral compositions as this!! Christopher Larkin would be so goddamn proud
In the art, it looks like the shade lord ripped off one of the radiance's wings, kind of like it's playing with it's prey before dragging it into the void
"Embodiment of the abyssal Void, Shade." *The eclipse shall begun, the era of the abyss kin shall rise once again, as its lands has long, long ago went silent and dormant..* "The last hope, is a princess with no kingdom, against a greater will, a king of nothingness that existed far before what once existed, this is the end, and thr beginning.. this is.. *The apogee of all Eras.*
I'm imagining Hornet imbued with the energy of the delicate flower, pure souls from the orinic kingdoms and maybe something else for his confrontation against the Lord of Shades There is no light that claims to remember the past and join it, nor an emotionless darkness that forgets any past except its hatred towards the light, there is only a white soul born from all the lights of the Orionic world and its history.
By the shadows, that was truly a spectacle! It rekindled the essence of this game, reminding me of its boundless wonders. And the final boss? A marvel beyond words. Your craftsmanship is nothing short of extraordinary.
There are tone of eferences to Hollow Knight soundtracks in here such as Hornet, Daughter of Hallownest, Pure Vessel, and it is absolutely stunning how well they blend together. Great job.
I’m kinda hoping the regular final boss is the Pure Vessel and this guy is the true final boss kinda like the Radiance, I think having that parallel with the first game would go CRAZY

Agreed
Im not sure how would they make him work with the gameplay of silksong as he seems to be closer to something you would see in terraria BUT if they can pull that off I'm all in.
I think it would be one of those unbeatable bosses that you cant truly kill but instead convince to spare you.
I want lord of shades to be the good guy. though dunge eater is good and was a boss so its possible.
the idea of fighting yourself from the old hollow knight is great because it would be like progressing past your former power to be even better.
My train of thought: If the true final boss of Hollow Knight is the sun, therefore the true final boss of Silksong will be the moon
or rather if the final boss was the light then silksong will have darkness
that would actually be sick
Nah,
*It will be the whole sky*
hk and the void was the moon of hk so in silksong the final boss will be an eclipse
The pale king is the moon in the first game

Dude, I've got chills...
1:22 I loved this, I wish it was real
Apex of the Abyss - THE SHADE LORD
Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! It's so fitting with the style of Hollow Knight's musical style while also applying Silksong's seeming inclination over string instruments across it's own. Not to mention how ominous and opressive the "Heart of the Abyss" part is contrasting with "Queensoul"'s strained hope. It's so powerful and memorable, and i can only hope the real thing can provide something just as incredible as this. Amazing work overall!
That’s very kind of you to say, thanks!
this genuinely rekindled my hype for silksong a bit imagining the amazing fight that would go with this phenomenally made track, absolute masterpiece right here. when the vessel theme kicks in around minute 2 it's actually godly I can't lie, same with hornets theme around the 5 and 7 minute marks. this genuinely sounds like something right out of hollow knight, well damn done.
This video single-handedly reignited my hype for silksong
Even though the shade lord will likely not be the final boss, the concept itself is just amazing
PIANO COVER WHEN. I NEED TO PLAY THIS UNTIL MY FINGERS ARE DUST AND THE WORLD IS FIRE, IF NO ONE ELSE WILL MAKE ONE I'LL HAVE TO AND IT WON'T BE ANYWHERE AS GOOD
dear deities HMU IF YOU FIND ANYTHING I BEG ON MY HANDS AND KNEES
If u find it u better upload it to yt and tell me
Imagine seing a huge LORD OF SHADES boss screen title with a complete black background with a abyss themed battle arena
Tbh. I think it might be even cooler if the boss screen title is just "The Void". Since that is pretty much all he is. With the title changing as the battle progresses.
@@lukiklepsa6218
Phase 1: "Little Ghost"
Heart of the Abyss: "Forgotten Vessels"
Phase 2: "Lord of Shades"
Queensoul: "The Void"
This is SOOOO good. I imagine the first phase being you fighting "the knight", well, at least whats left of him, and then on the inbetween we have a cutscene where the knights shell breaks open and the shade lord finally breaks free, revealing his true strengh. You fight him a while, untill you eventually get him into a Radience style escape phase, where your "Silk-soul" (a combination of the silk of spiders and soul of the higher beings, which Hornet unites) gains in strengh and like the shades in Radience, you start winning and taking the upper hand. Ending in finishing the shade lord off, perfectly timed with the music ending. I cant wait to see it all myself.......... in about a thousand years:)
I hadn’t thought of fighting the knight. That’s very cool
@@dutonicThe thought of this music being made by one person is crazy, it's so good!
It would be both kinda funny but also pretty sad if the boss was named “Little Ghost”
@@sentientmustache8360 it would more likely be called 'The Dark Half-Sibling' or something like that honestly
@@ElGoobero-jv7xb No, "little ghost" is what Hornet called him, and its very likely that the names are stemming from the main character themself, who make up names for what they are fighting. Also, "little ghost" sounds better and is a reference to Hollow Knight.
Hauntingly beautiful, epic, and very fitting for the Lord himself. Although, gotta agree, almost had a heart attack at the title. The references to other themes are awesome.
im kinda late but the motifs to the sealed vessel/path of pain melody are so good!! this is so awesome
you're a god damn musical genius
I suggested the idea of a void related song for the Silksong series like a year ago. I don’t know weather that’s why you made the song but it’s awesome regardless.
It sounds like that as you fight the shade lord you are slowly spiraling down into the void, getting farther and farther from the beautiful shining citadel at Pharloom’s peak.
The seed of this idea was actually planted in my mind on the Sharp Shadow video by @goddessdeedeebubblesofimag7789. But it wasn't until I got the idea of weaving Hornet's theme into the final boss theme that this song really started coming together in my mind. I would never have imagined writing something 7 and a half minutes though. It was pretty brutal.
THAT TITLE SCARED ME, nice song by the way, great job
Can imagine the boss being like before the battle
"I was forgotten... cast aside... abused... all for the sake of blotching out your wretched sun that proclaimed itself a god. Yet... now that I'm freed of such trivial disputes and move onward... THIS IS HOW YOU THANK ME?! Your nothing but the trophy of a deal... a deal your mother made just to please a selfish false ruler and to save what little pride she had left! Witness... dear daughter of hallownest... the birth of your DEMISE!"
THIS IS SO INSANE BUT I WOULD DEFINITELY CRY IF SHADE LORD SAYS THAT💔 GUYS DON'T FIGHT YOU ARE FAM
SOMEONE MAKE A BOSS REPRESENTING THIS
I kinda wanna try voicing this. This is amazing.
This is peak writing
The light fades from Pharloom's peak, an earth shattering rumbling as the night floods the sky. From the all encompassing night, it descends, eyes aglow.
The Knight has ascended...
The Dark given form...
The Shade Lord awakens
Also I'm in love with this track.
this is the level of music i am so hoping for. Thank you for this artwork.
This song has given me nothing but chills. Truly, this is only describable as Radiant. Amazing job Dutonic! excited to see what things you cook up next
This is incredible! And you used so many motifs from the original game! I heard echoes of the Knight's theme and then Sealed Vessel right after. And then more of that later on, it's so satisfying hearing those motifs put together this way.
Beautiful work and sounds like it would fit perfectly in the game.
Mix-wise the string sound is spot on as well.
Christopher Larkin was my 2nd to top-listened artist in 2022 so this is right up my alley as well. Certainly will be checking out your other work 💜
@@moonlapsepiano Thanks! :)
A quick reminder that hornet is part wyrn SO there could be giant things happening in that final boss fight
Me obsessively trying to find every motiff that was put into this
The first part of the song gives me the vibe of someone researching or discovering something, perhaps some kind of weakness, or plotting a way to defeat this great foe
Around minute 2 it transitions into this moment of actually preparing this plan that he's concocted.
Around minute 3 the preparations are finished and this person is anticipating the arrival of the great foe
Around minute 4 the great foe arrives the person is seeing his plan unravel as his theories and plans are put into practice.
Around minute 5, through minute 6 they continue to clash against each other in battle
Lastly, nearing the end of the song the battle sees itself a winner.
Very fun non-Hollow Knight interpretation!
This is unironically the best fanmade song I’ve ever heard omg 🫶
4:50 Is that the False Knight theme I hear?
I wish this becomes an official soundtrack for silksong tho, BECAUSE THIS IS FIRE, TEAM CHERRY NEEDS TO SEE THIS MASTERPIECE SIR,😭😭✋🏻
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Genuinely the vibes transferred through the music are so strong. Something specific that I heard in the song is the strong bee energy in phase 2, which gave me a sort of eldritch desperation vibe. You've broke down its physical form. It's out of the energy needed to present in a logical way. The end of Phase 1 also really does well to demonstrate the hope of finally striking the killing blow and having it on its last legs then you stab it in the heart and what comes out isn't blood but eldritch and horrible power and intelligence. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm just trying to process this music beyond the way that it's clearing out my entire brain. I wish you success. Keep making this beautiful music. I will be listening to your whole body of work. My brain chemistry is destroyed. May you become rich and famous. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. It's so clear how much love and effort and tweaking went into creating this piece and I've already gone through your other Hollow Knight related stuff and I don't know how your two area themes didn't get traction because I really love them. I can feel the dread of how much your music is going to consume my thoughts. It's like approaching a waterfall and knowing that you're fuck. I can feel the autism stirring. This might be worse than the PvZ orchestral remixes. Oh God.
As a person who hadn't interacted with hollow knight for years, I almost got a heart attack, I immediately checked daily silksong news only to be disappointed.
I hope this awesome piece gets loads of attention!
In all honesty, this song must be the best song I have ever heard. From the start to the finish, there was a beutiful composition of synergy between all the major themes in Hollow Knight, like, for example, The Hollow Knight's theme, Hornet's theme and many others which all combined together with the excellent playing of the violin, make a canvas that in it of itself is THE definition of Hollow Knight's music. Calling this work of art anything other than a masterpiece would be criminal. Bravo mr. Dutonic, just... bravo. You fully earned my subscribtion and my respect. Keep it up.
This would be perfect if this is the final boss. Wonderful work, Dutonic!
I was scrolling through my recommended videos and I saw this, I clicked and almost instantly subbed, keep up the amazing work!
One other thing, this sounds like it could be in the official soundtrack, you actually deserve more attention than you have.
Damn that's awesome. There are so many Hollow Knight motifs and it would be interesting to see what motifs Silksong's music will have.
Goosebumps, incredible work
Love the job u did with the original hollow knight tracks, the music is insane.
U must have worked really hard to reach something like that.
Cannot wait to see ur next work.
Congrats🎉
5:10 This is incredible
I'm not crying... I'm just...
Sweating from the eyes
bro all the little refrains of the main theme are used perfectly I'm in love with this ❤❤❤
Dude this is a banger. This would make an amazing theme for a challenging final boss. I can see It being super intense, haveing to constantly and consistently move around and attack at the same time all the while the boss Is throwing attacks straight back at ya. I hope we get this type of stuff actually In the game.
God this is so beautiful and impressive dude. Hopefully ill get as good at making orchestral compositions as this!! Christopher Larkin would be so goddamn proud
Amazing! I love the sealed vessel pieces in there!
the leitmotif is GAS bro
In the art, it looks like the shade lord ripped off one of the radiance's wings, kind of like it's playing with it's prey before dragging it into the void
i love how it feels a bit like a mashup of hornet and sealed vessel
Oh my gosh another beautiful masterpiece by dutonic
You are a great composer bro, keep it up
I'm crying here, this is SO epic!
"Embodiment of the abyssal Void, Shade."
*The eclipse shall begun, the era of the abyss kin shall rise once again, as its lands has long, long ago went silent and dormant..*
"The last hope, is a princess with no kingdom, against a greater will, a king of nothingness that existed far before what once existed, this is the end, and thr beginning.. this is.. *The apogee of all Eras.*
I'm imagining Hornet imbued with the energy of the delicate flower, pure souls from the orinic kingdoms and maybe something else for his confrontation against the Lord of Shades
There is no light that claims to remember the past and join it, nor an emotionless darkness that forgets any past except its hatred towards the light, there is only a white soul born from all the lights of the Orionic world and its history.
this is sick dude!
this is literally a hidden gem
By the shadows, that was truly a spectacle! It rekindled the essence of this game, reminding me of its boundless wonders. And the final boss? A marvel beyond words. Your craftsmanship is nothing short of extraordinary.
This is really good. So much so that it makes me afraid that the real thing might not live up to it!
Bro this is awesome keep it up!!!
Oh my void, That artwork is GORGEOUS!
great work! both the music and the art.
you dont get enough credit for this.
THIS IS PEAk🔥🔥🔥
There are tone of eferences to Hollow Knight soundtracks in here such as Hornet, Daughter of Hallownest, Pure Vessel, and it is absolutely stunning how well they blend together. Great job.
i've been waiting for a silksong song for a long time.. this will do
I like it, you had a nice interpretation of HK's song style. Good work!!
I’m kinda hoping the regular final boss is the Pure Vessel and this guy is the true final boss kinda like the Radiance, I think having that parallel with the first game would go CRAZY
the hollow knight motifs from the strings.... beautiful.....
