Thug life is one of the best pieces I've ever heard in my life, it has so many hooks, the sound of the hands on the strings and you just escalate it further and further, it just gets better and better. I don't want to exaggerate but it's amazing, I can't overstate it. It gives me euphoria every time. Couple that with playing the game, losing a brother or fighting with bear teeth and all, one shot-ing a big guy, it's one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. I dunno how you get inspiration for something like this but I call it borderline genius.
It's a very good song from beginning to end and the sudden build into background vocals near the end is really well done. It's the kind of song where you adjust how you play the game to hear more of the music.
The menu theme, Battle Brothers, fully captures the bleak dark fantasy nature of the setting IMO. It suits the feeling of brotherhood in a hostile and unforgiving world and is fitting for a bittersweet story of loss, determination, and dark victories. "You who come after me, scribbling these Annals, by now realize that I shy off portraying the whole truth about our band of blackguards. You know they are vicious, violent, and ignorant. They are complete barbarians, living out their cruelest fantasies, their behavior tempered only by the presence of a few decent men. I do not often show that side because these men are my brethren, my family, and I was taught young not to speak ill of kin." - Glen Cook, The Black Company
Absolutely love all your tracks, especially the battle one (the most favourite is "A Hidden Menace") . Can you tell me where do you create such amazing music?
While your at it, If you havent already, buy the game, its a masterpiece and it's on most platforms. If you're into the strategy genre its a no brainer
Got this game about a week ago now. The music for it is absolutely beautiful. Nothing like the utter terror/frustration of facing down an army of the dead backed by Geists while Curse of the Emperor sounds visions of my doom, narrowly saving some brothers during their panic-induced flight by cutting down the zombies standing ready to harry their retreat, then heading back to town to hear Alleys of Weissenhaven while listening to the clink of coin, the sloshing of good drink and the laughter of brothers with no gaps in the proverbial chorus. Black Iron Pact was also a darn good welcoming tune for my first foray into an Orc camp I stumbled across shortly after finishing the tutorial too. 'Only three berserkers? Can't be too bad, I've taken out eight bandits with just three guys, even if these buggers are physically tough I can just - and my entire company is dead. Welp.'
Incredible soundtrack. Having moved over to the likes of Wartales as of late to give that a go, the lack of this wonderful music has been just plain obvious. This isn't a critique of those developers and the team they hired or worked with their musical score, but more of a recognition of just how great this music in particular truly is. Thank you for the amazing work.
laying siege to hammerburg is the best music of all time in my opinion, If Mozart listened to this, he would be ashamed of himself for being called the greatest composer of all time, even though he did not compose this himself. what a piece, you guys what a beasts.
I'll never forget my first successful company. (this is a long one, I kind of got into it a bit) Fuchs thee Establishment, a group of Ironman barbarians who rode to the southwest and made their fame and fortune battling orcs for the mad family faction who resided at Castle Wolfenstein, and the occasional problem solving for Ras Sanan. Though named Fuchs Thee Establishment, ironically, got tied up with a noble war but were all too happy to take revenge on the northern clans for chasing us so far from our home of origin. The final battle took place 36 troops to my 12, though we were about as prepared as we could be, and they didn't have DOOM on their side, so even match. DOOM being one of the original brothers, I can't remember his original name, nor ever took off his helmet so had no clue what he looked like. I had changed it from Doomed as by the hundredth day he was missing and eye, a finger, a toe, had a punctured lung, and was generally disgruntled, on top of only having one trait to be disloyal, yet despite all that he stuck with the company, so maybe disloyal to death itself. He finally met his end in that battle to end the noble war, utterly surrounded, though did end up taking a few enemy soldiers with him. The battle was won with DOOM as the sole casualty. The Fuchs Thee Establishment company, after receiving a significant stipend for essentially single-handedly shifting the balance of power in the region, were still largely shunned by their contractiers. I was offered the chance to end the campaign there. Having lost DOOM, though he was but one of many talented fighters capable of beating any foe up to that point, it seemed that it was time for the company to take their well earned rest from the gritty fighting for rich twats who'd never respected them. Almir, another barbarian who survived since the very beginning became the Barbarian king in the north. The priest who'd joined us at the start believing he could change us, who turned out to be just as bloodthirsty as DOOM, saw the light once again and returned to his pasture practicing his beliefs that had lapsed him for all the days he spent with Fuchs thee Establishment. Edmund one-shot, a cheery bloke who seemed to know a lot of serving hands, willing to share jewelry they'd nicked off of some nobleman they'd worked for in the past together ended up leading the company onto riches without me. I retired to the woods in relative good wealth and standing, which after all is what I'd set out to achieve. I sat at that end screen reading on what my company got up to after ending that campaign for about 20 minutes feeling genuine pride. This game showed more heart and character and soul and genuine role-playing than any other I'd played before. And of course a large part of that was its soundtrack which at all times felt appropriate to the moment and the in-game world. It blew me away, Traversing the Northern Clanlands and Adrenaline Rush being my favourites but there are countless others which I loved. I hope there is more planned for the future of Battle Brothers, a legendary game.
This is a fantastic soundtrack that massively enhances the atmosphere of this gem of a game. Soo many games have boring or just not unique soundtrack. This is quality though.
"Rise and Fall of House Kaltenborn" is so fucking epic that it squeezes tears out of me. This track, it seems to me, is not just about noble houses, but about all of humanity. About the best that is in it and the struggle for this best. Something to die for with honor and a smile on your face. Not like "Thug Life" and "Hoggart's Hideout", which are more personal, about struggle for just your own life and survival. The battle for your own life is also epic, but in its own way, cowardly way. Tracks are not for you, but for them. And in the game, I don't want to fight noble houses, because it feels like a battle against humanity. And it's quite dramatic if noble houses go to war with each other. On the other hand, fighting against bunch of scumbags who are trying to save they lives at the cost of humanity? Sure, why not? And in each track you can find something that plays on different feelings, depending on who it represents. Genius soundtrack.
When I first encountered undead and Curse of the Emperor played as my men got cut down one by one, then they began rising up again and the undead I killed kept coming back... Well the music really painted the scene of how fucked I was. 10/10.
These are my favourites: 00:03:05 2. Thug Life (Brigands) 00:08:14 3. Alleys of Weissenhaven 00:11:40 4. The Humming Hills 00:41:04 10. The Pillage 00:45:17 11. Hoggart's Hideout (Brigands) 00:50:29 12. The Homestead 01:25:45 21. Four Days to Crows Nest 01:32:58 23. Walls of Dunenburg
Going to make a dnd campaign based on the concept of battle brothers. Thanks for making a soundtrack so complete and amazing I dont really need much else lmao
Recently got back into playing BB after a short hiatus. Let me tell you, the work you guys did for the noble houses gives me a courage to make decisions I wouldn’t even make for lesser brigands. Truly makes my obituary fill up once the wars come around thank you for your amazing music!
one of, if not the best video game soundtrack of all time, easily. the way songs like bone march or warpath ceremony build up from the start of the fight until you start engaging the enemy is awe inspiring and extremely immersive
I've been been a ''gamer'' for years, I've played many games, but I have never played a game which not only I loved the gameplay but it's soudtrack as well. It is spot on, amazing, epic, it's just...sublime, my favorite track is bone march, the song, the sound, it created inside your head, a desperation, a sense of dread, the forces of the unknown are marching upon us. I love your work my friend!! I can't wait to hear more of you!!
Thank you for your praise of the soundtrack, means a lot to us and we are proud to have our music in this incredible game. When the source material is so good, inspiration comes easy.
Have to say man, bought the game cause of the soundtrack! No jokes, found about it while searching for a battle music for one of the RPGs table that i DM. Worthed every penny
this OST is an absolute MASTERPIECE. it's such an ingrained part of the BB experience, i can't imagine the game without it. overhype was really lucky to have you! phenomenal work, y'all (side note, i'd be thrilled if you guys end up working together again for menace)
Guys, this is awesome work! Listening more than playing to be honest (especially barbarian pieces). This is more than music - this is crystallized part of soul!
The Hoggart Hideout one sounds.. just like the sorrows and battles of a soldier. It sounds like a epic last stand, dying alongside your brothers. A true end for a Battle Brother.
Excellent OST of an excellent game. I once heared a variant of the Battle Brothers Theme when you retire frome the game with a legendary company. At 1:27 if my memories are good. That moment made me cry. Sorry for the bad english. Keep it up guys !
This game has some of the greatest music for a video game ive ever heard. Asolutely stunning tracks here. Imma explain a few of my favorites here- 32:34 Laying siege to hammerburg is amazing. It slowly builds up from intense to insane. Fighting huge noble armies is one of the most fun parts of this game and having a badass soundtrack to go with it just makes it all the more enjoyable. Bravo. 45:17 Hoggarts Hideout. The song is great all the way through but DAMN that ending is amazing, so much emotion. Its probably the first track that I heard that made me think like 'Damn this soundtrack is pretty good.' 1:50:58 Grinded by the Gears of war. An odd choice but when I started to play this game I did many attempts with the deserters origin. This music plays at the beginning and after many attempts I slowly learned to love it. Its so quant and devestating yet beautiful and captures the setting of sneakily escaping from the noble house you deserted to find new prospects. (Not on here) Chant of the old gods. The instrumental selection and Slow buildup is insane, I love the part where all of the instruments cut out and slowly build up from that one norse instrument All of the southern soundtracks(Also not on here but all VERY well done) The arabian instruments and intense buildup makes them out of this world, fighting nomads and beasts in the south can sometimes get a little boring but the soundtrack is like what butter is to bread, it goes enhances the flavor, and that flavor in this case is the musical synergy with the intense southern battles. Of course their are many more tracks that Id like to list out, I feel like I could make a whole documentary length review on every single piece. I dunno if you guys are gonna see this but y'all did an amazing job capturing everything that battle brothers is, definitely one of my top 5 for soundtrack up there with oblivion and dark souls
Bought this game on a whim after a mention by a Path of Exile streamer (that game also has a great OST). And then... the music just blew me and my mercenaries away. Thug Life gets me pumped, The Pillage makes me shed a tear, Four Days to Crows Nest... oh man those vocals remind me of something so epic and Walls of Dunenberg has the real breakdown pfft.... Amazing.
Played BB few years ago, came back to listen this soundtrack after completing Baldur's Gate 3 a few times and dear god, now i'm convinced once again this is top tier soundtrack just like in BG3. You can play "Legion awakens" during Cazador fight and you feel the same level of quality.
Bought this game just recently from the Halloween sale and man did I fall in love with it! And the music just puts the icing on the cake, even though I think this music deserves to be called more than just the icing! This is a great, memorable soundtrack that honestly never gets old. Alleys Of Weissenhaven is definitely my favorite
Currently writing a thesis in RED ALERT-mode due to deadline. Usually I listen to Rome Total War soundtracks by Jeff Van Dyck, but now I also listen to this. It is THAT good. My thesis is fucked tho...
I can't imagine what music would be for the new DLC, the northern raiders was really fitting and are some of my favorite tracks along with the orc tracks. I am really excited for all the new things being added in Blazing Deserts especially the music, I am sure you will make something that perfectly fits the setting as you have made in the past.
The beauty about this game is you can create your own stories while you play. The music creates such a chilling mood while your brothers fight. Your enemies' faces write stories of their own, if they have faces, that is. Even then, it's going to be epic when both sides clash.
At this point I think I like the soundtrack more than the game. Every single track is fucking spot on. The brigands and raiders track is amazing and upbeating. The undead/skeleton track even has those creepy string-y like sounds you see in horror movies, and they also sound like rattling bones. Jesus christ this OST is so fucking good. It's fucking S tier. Probably the best I've heard in a game if it wasn't for the fact that Doom Eternal Exists. Great job, and just like that game, at this point Battle Brothers feel like buying an amazing soundtrack that comes with a free game.
I think we are fine with the second place behind Mick Gordon :D What a beast. Thanks for the kind words, your description of the undead music was spot on btw, exactly what we had in mind when chosing the instrumentation.
when I get my money this month, I'm getting battle brothers, if not this month, then next month I will certantly buy it, I absoluteley love the soundtrack of this game, and the gameplay too, and it has lots of roleplay and replay potential aswell My personal favourites are Thug life, hoggart's Hideout, the homestead and Rise and fall of house Kaltenborn
Thanks Divine! That was one of the last tracks we finished before shipping the final version of the game and the soundtrack. Work on it started way back when we hit early access as one of the tracks for the world map, but it grew a lot since then and it did not have that epic trailer vibe originally.
I'm not gonna lie, never got super into Battle Brothers. However, the music is the best of the best, it's a veritable gold mine. Thank you so much for your work!
Still having a regret about giving this game a shot so late after its release, it's such a gem. The OST is easily one of the most fitting, tight compositions I've heard, especially within strategy genre. Already bought the soundtrack on Steam to include into my playlist, stellar work! As a side-note, I think one of the tracks is missing, the one that plays on the campaign end, or in some tutorial scenerios - a different version of Title Theme, slightly calmer, nostalgic even. Is there a possibility to include it in the future, perhaps along with the coming tracks for Blazing Deserts? If not, is there a reason it was omitted?
Thank you for your comment John, means a lot to us, especially the part about scoring for the strategy game genre. We tried to strike a balance between not taking the music too center stage and still delivering memorable pieces. Happy that you feel like we did a good job at that task. Regarding the calmer version of the title track/main theme that plays on the world map, that's "Battle Brothers, Pt. II" at 01:54:33. We didn't leave out any tracks on the OST. I think Overhype decided to include one or two earlier demos as starts for some of the new Origins but that's about it. Tell me if that's the track you were looking for, if not feel free to describe it again and I'll try to point you towards it.
@@breakdownepiphanies3364 Hah, I've listened to this stuff too many times to miss anything! I'll just use a link with a timestamp to someone else's playtrough, if that's not a bother - th-cam.com/video/Sq2J-aDEUMc/w-d-xo.html It's a bit quiet, but definitely a slightly different variation of the main theme, possibly a demo version, like you've said - but a good one nonetheless, and really fitting for an ending. You can also hear it in some pre-made scenarios. Appreciated the response, anyhow!
its funny to me how you have one track named "Thug life." when i think of it, i think of the meme. other than that, i am in love with this sound track and i just bought this game yesterday. keep it up man.
@@breakdownepiphanies3364 should have made a hip hop alt of the track just to play into the meme's theme. ^^ Then again, hip hop isnt a theme for medival fantasy. I must get this soundtrack for my next dnd game!
@@NintendoDude360 we actually made a quick rap beat of one of the tracks I think during early access when some people in the Steam Forums had fun writing BB bard freestyle lyrics haha
Alleys of Weissenhaven is definitely the best. I havent seen that anyone have already done their cover guitar video in the internet.. Underrated musical score, but definitely one of the best.. Could anyone from @breakdown epiphanies do one cover video for it?
You need to compose something longer with part from 1:59:56 and especially from 2:00:28. I click repeat after 2:01:00. Gosh I can listen those 30 seconds over and over. I also really enjoy Thug Life, Laying Siege to Hammerburg, Traversing the Northern Clanlands, second half of The Pillage, last minute of Four Days to Crows Nest, Rise and Fall of House Kaltenborn. Double that and you will have other pieces that are also fine, but not for standalone play (outside of game). I wonder how will your music play during role playing session (you know pen and paper type of game)
My top 5 combat songs: Thug Life (Brigands) Warpath Ceremony (Goblins) Rise and Fall of House Kaltenborn (Noble Houses) The Hunt (Beasts) A Hidden Menace (Goblins) The last one is a difficult tie between Hoggart's Hideout and Hidden Menace or possibly Black Iron Pact. These are good osts but I feel the goblins just have a great ambience in the game and the songs are really fitting. Lovely stuff! Especially the main menu music has made me quite emotional.
Hello! I noticed that the version "Rise and Fall of House Kaltenborn" on the channel Overhype Studios is different. Do you really create this track with two versions of gregorian choir? :0 P.S. Somehow that track drift me away to some kind of imagination "last hours of life Space marine from Warhammer40k". Goosebumps!
Hey Stephano, it's the same choir (at least from my memory). I think it sounds different because we remixed and remastered every track on the Soundtrack for the full release while the track on Overhype's channel is the first version that got into the game with the update at the time of early access.
I love the game and the sound track. I think Alleys of Weissenhaven is my favourite, but there are so many tracks that are fantastic. Almost as good as the Diablo 2 sound track, almost.
There are a couple of live instruments (mostly guitar, banjo, vocals and some percussion) to make everything sound more lively and improve the illusion but all of the orchestra is sample libraries. Nowadays you can get very far with the products that companies like Spitfire or Orchestraltools came up with. You just need to understand how to play the instruments/manipulate the midi data so everything gets that human expression and feel. The other part is trying to respect the limitations that would be there if the orchestra was real and follow rules of orchestration.

Unexpected but even after 200 hours of playing the game I don't get tired of listening to this music. It says a lot, at least for me. Excellent work.
Same
Thug life is one of the best pieces I've ever heard in my life, it has so many hooks, the sound of the hands on the strings and you just escalate it further and further, it just gets better and better. I don't want to exaggerate but it's amazing, I can't overstate it. It gives me euphoria every time. Couple that with playing the game, losing a brother or fighting with bear teeth and all, one shot-ing a big guy, it's one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. I dunno how you get inspiration for something like this but I call it borderline genius.
That's a strong praise and we don't take that for granted. Stoked to hear that the song speaks to you so much, it's one of our favorites too
It's a very good song from beginning to end and the sudden build into background vocals near the end is really well done. It's the kind of song where you adjust how you play the game to hear more of the music.
The menu theme, Battle Brothers, fully captures the bleak dark fantasy nature of the setting IMO. It suits the feeling of brotherhood in a hostile and unforgiving world and is fitting for a bittersweet story of loss, determination, and dark victories.

Lovely put, thank you
Bless this OST.
Who is listening to this for the first time in 2021 after discovering Battle Brothers on the Switch? Tell us about your favorite tracks ↓
Thug life
My most favorite is 00:27:55 - a tone of courage and adventure in a cruel world
and 00:10:45 - i just can't stop tapping my fingers to the beat
Got to agree, Thug Life is a great track.
Whenever Walls of Dunenburg comes on I bob my head furiously :D
Absolutely love all your tracks, especially the battle one (the most favourite is "A Hidden Menace") . Can you tell me where do you create such amazing music?
Превосходный саундтрек к отличной игре
I don't know what this is or how I got here, but this is _breathtaking._ I'm speechless.
Thank you universe and youtube algo, happy you are enjoying the tunes
Badass game, look it up on steam.
While your at it, If you havent already, buy the game, its a masterpiece and it's on most platforms. If you're into the strategy genre its a no brainer

Black Iron Pact was also a darn good welcoming tune for my first foray into an Orc camp I stumbled across shortly after finishing the tutorial too. 'Only three berserkers? Can't be too bad, I've taken out eight bandits with just three guys, even if these buggers are physically tough I can just - and my entire company is dead. Welp.'
32:34 Goddamnit listening this the first time i initiated the Lone Wolf campaign was such a beautiful thing
The best way to play
Incredible soundtrack.

This isn't a critique of those developers and the team they hired or worked with their musical score, but more of a recognition of just how great this music in particular truly is.

Thank you Hybridizm. I was curious about Wartales too. Will give it a try some time soon.

The music is a big part of why this game is so atmospheric - amazing!

same for me but with both nobles and orcs. What are a few brothers' lives compared to 10 minutes of pure eargasm?
one of, if not the best video game soundtrack of all time, easily. the way songs like bone march or warpath ceremony build up from the start of the fight until you start engaging the enemy is awe inspiring and extremely immersive
Mercenary's Rest is criminally short for such a superb piece of music.

A lot of these tracks remind me of Gustav Holst and especially encapsulate the energy of Mars: Bringer of War
Listened to the Planet Suite for the first time with my dad when I was a kid
Excellent OST of an excellent game. I once heared a variant of the Battle Brothers Theme when you retire frome the game with a legendary company. At 1:27 if my memories are good. That moment made me cry. Sorry for the bad english. Keep it up guys !
Its so tragic music, like a history of battle brothers
This game has some of the greatest music for a video game ive ever heard. Asolutely stunning tracks here. Imma explain a few of my favorites here-
32:34 Laying siege to hammerburg is amazing. It slowly builds up from intense to insane. Fighting huge noble armies is one of the most fun parts of this game and having a badass soundtrack to go with it just makes it all the more enjoyable. Bravo.
45:17 Hoggarts Hideout. The song is great all the way through but DAMN that ending is amazing, so much emotion. Its probably the first track that I heard that made me think like 'Damn this soundtrack is pretty good.'
1:50:58 Grinded by the Gears of war. An odd choice but when I started to play this game I did many attempts with the deserters origin. This music plays at the beginning and after many attempts I slowly learned to love it. Its so quant and devestating yet beautiful and captures the setting of sneakily escaping from the noble house you deserted to find new prospects.
(Not on here) Chant of the old gods. The instrumental selection and Slow buildup is insane, I love the part where all of the instruments cut out and slowly build up from that one norse instrument
All of the southern soundtracks(Also not on here but all VERY well done) The arabian instruments and intense buildup makes them out of this world, fighting nomads and beasts in the south can sometimes get a little boring but the soundtrack is like what butter is to bread, it goes enhances the flavor, and that flavor in this case is the musical synergy with the intense southern battles.
Of course their are many more tracks that Id like to list out, I feel like I could make a whole documentary length review on every single piece. I dunno if you guys are gonna see this but y'all did an amazing job capturing everything that battle brothers is, definitely one of my top 5 for soundtrack up there with oblivion and dark souls
最爱的游戏最爱的史诗般的音乐。
My favorite game with the epic bgm
This is my favorite video game OST since Diablo 1. Thank you for your hard work on this.
Diablo
Bloody brilliant soundtrack man, shits on par with Skyrim and Oblivion levels of quality to me.
4:16 - Настоящий боевой танец
one of the best games ive played mechanically and this music just gives it that old school soul it fits perfectly
Humming hills is simply beautifull.
Bought this game on a whim after a mention by a Path of Exile streamer (that game also has a great OST). And then... the music just blew me and my mercenaries away.
Thug Life gets me pumped, The Pillage makes me shed a tear, Four Days to Crows Nest... oh man those vocals remind me of something so epic and Walls of Dunenberg has the real breakdown pfft....
Amazing.
the noble house tracks simply beutyfull
Played BB few years ago, came back to listen this soundtrack after completing Baldur's Gate 3 a few times and dear god, now i'm convinced once again this is top tier soundtrack just like in BG3. You can play "Legion awakens" during Cazador fight and you feel the same level of quality.
Bought this game just recently from the Halloween sale and man did I fall in love with it! And the music just puts the icing on the cake, even though I think this music deserves to be called more than just the icing! This is a great, memorable soundtrack that honestly never gets old. Alleys Of Weissenhaven is definitely my favorite
Love Hoggart's Hideout...Gets my sarge fired up!
This game and this ost are so underrated...
There we go the this is underrated guy for no actual reason lmfao
Currently writing a thesis in RED ALERT-mode due to deadline. Usually I listen to Rome Total War soundtracks by Jeff Van Dyck, but now I also listen to this.
It is THAT good.
My thesis is fucked tho...
1:28:06 - That's it!! Aw, thanks for your work, folks :-)
The Humming Hills ❤
I want this music in my funeral.
This has jumped to be one of my top 5 favorite soundtracks in just a few days time, it's absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to see what else you make!
I can't imagine what music would be for the new DLC, the northern raiders was really fitting and are some of my favorite tracks along with the orc tracks. I am really excited for all the new things being added in Blazing Deserts especially the music, I am sure you will make something that perfectly fits the setting as you have made in the past.
You know no matter how much the game makes me angry at times, i will never hate its music. Great work!
Well done guys. It's inspirational and speaks to the soul. It s so good for this game. Thank you.
The beauty about this game is you can create your own stories while you play. The music creates such a chilling mood while your brothers fight. Your enemies' faces write stories of their own, if they have faces, that is. Even then, it's going to be epic when both sides clash.
I really love your use of banjo in one of the battle themes. Sounds great. Coupled with the mournful sound of a cello or string instrument. Love it.
32:35 is awesome
joejoeoreoo get your head out of your ass Jojo
Zahir Sabra I honestly just enjoyed this part a lot. What part of the soundtrack was your favorite? I'd love to know.
@@zahirsabra7890
Is that a troll?
Did you say Lämp !?
A very shitty one
At this point I think I like the soundtrack more than the game. Every single track is fucking spot on. The brigands and raiders track is amazing and upbeating.
The undead/skeleton track even has those creepy string-y like sounds you see in horror movies, and they also sound like rattling bones.
Jesus christ this OST is so fucking good. It's fucking S tier. Probably the best I've heard in a game if it wasn't for the fact that Doom Eternal Exists.
Great job, and just like that game, at this point Battle Brothers feel like buying an amazing soundtrack that comes with a free game.
I think we are fine with the second place behind Mick Gordon :D What a beast. Thanks for the kind words, your description of the undead music was spot on btw, exactly what we had in mind when chosing the instrumentation.
Мне нравятся все, особенно The Pillage. И это одна из моих самых любимых игр
1:25:45 Four days to the crows nest, masterpiece
when I get my money this month, I'm getting battle brothers, if not this month, then next month I will certantly buy it, I absoluteley love the soundtrack of this game, and the gameplay too, and it has lots of roleplay and replay potential aswell
My personal favourites are Thug life, hoggart's Hideout, the homestead and Rise and fall of house Kaltenborn
Thanks for the kind words @campfire man and Battle Brothers is a lovely game indeed I think you'll enjoy it!
During a single night, I spent all my Action Points listening to this and built no Fatigue
Thank you very much! I was looking for the trailer music everywhere! By far my favorite track.
Thanks Divine! That was one of the last tracks we finished before shipping the final version of the game and the soundtrack. Work on it started way back when we hit early access as one of the tracks for the world map, but it grew a lot since then and it did not have that epic trailer vibe originally.
I keep coming back to this. Seriously one of the best game soundtracks imo.
Ohh... so calm and worm feelings. Great s|t!
Great game, you want to play it again and again and over again. It`s hooks you like hell, hard to stop playing.
Years on, I still come back and listen to this OST again and again. It's breathtaking, and evokes a lot of emotion.
Dreaded Mire is my Favorite. I can listen to this forever.
I'm not gonna lie, never got super into Battle Brothers. However, the music is the best of the best, it's a veritable gold mine. Thank you so much for your work!
hey man just want to let u know your music is so good really creating the atmosphere of the game
Still having a regret about giving this game a shot so late after its release, it's such a gem. The OST is easily one of the most fitting, tight compositions I've heard, especially within strategy genre. Already bought the soundtrack on Steam to include into my playlist, stellar work!
As a side-note, I think one of the tracks is missing, the one that plays on the campaign end, or in some tutorial scenerios - a different version of Title Theme, slightly calmer, nostalgic even. Is there a possibility to include it in the future, perhaps along with the coming tracks for Blazing Deserts? If not, is there a reason it was omitted?
Thank you for your comment John, means a lot to us, especially the part about scoring for the strategy game genre. We tried to strike a balance between not taking the music too center stage and still delivering memorable pieces. Happy that you feel like we did a good job at that task.
Regarding the calmer version of the title track/main theme that plays on the world map, that's "Battle Brothers, Pt. II" at 01:54:33. We didn't leave out any tracks on the OST. I think Overhype decided to include one or two earlier demos as starts for some of the new Origins but that's about it. Tell me if that's the track you were looking for, if not feel free to describe it again and I'll try to point you towards it.
@@breakdownepiphanies3364 Hah, I've listened to this stuff too many times to miss anything! I'll just use a link with a timestamp to someone else's playtrough, if that's not a bother - th-cam.com/video/Sq2J-aDEUMc/w-d-xo.html It's a bit quiet, but definitely a slightly different variation of the main theme, possibly a demo version, like you've said - but a good one nonetheless, and really fitting for an ending. You can also hear it in some pre-made scenarios.
Appreciated the response, anyhow!
Mega zajebiście wciągająca gra! A muzyka w grze to mistrzostwo! Jedyna gra za którą mogę uczciwie zapłacić!
its funny to me how you have one track named "Thug life." when i think of it, i think of the meme.
other than that, i am in love with this sound track and i just bought this game yesterday. keep it up man.
That meme was what I was thinking about when naming it too ^^
@@breakdownepiphanies3364 should have made a hip hop alt of the track just to play into the meme's theme. ^^
Then again, hip hop isnt a theme for medival fantasy.
I must get this soundtrack for my next dnd game!
@@NintendoDude360 we actually made a quick rap beat of one of the tracks I think during early access when some people in the Steam Forums had fun writing BB bard freestyle lyrics haha
@@breakdownepiphanies3364 Now I have to see a brigand rap in full
This OST is a jewel !
Alleys of Weissenhaven is definitely the best. I havent seen that anyone have already done their cover guitar video in the internet.. Underrated musical score, but definitely one of the best..
Could anyone from @breakdown epiphanies do one cover video for it?
I think we would have to sit down and figure out how to play it first, it's been so long haha
Шикарная музыка просто.
You guys/girls should give me your DNA so I can clone you all. The world needs this kind of music for ever and ever.
You need to compose something longer with part from 1:59:56 and especially from 2:00:28. I click repeat after 2:01:00. Gosh I can listen those 30 seconds over and over.
I also really enjoy Thug Life, Laying Siege to Hammerburg, Traversing the Northern Clanlands, second half of The Pillage, last minute of Four Days to Crows Nest, Rise and Fall of House Kaltenborn. Double that and you will have other pieces that are also fine, but not for standalone play (outside of game). I wonder how will your music play during role playing session (you know pen and paper type of game)
My top 5 combat songs:
Thug Life (Brigands)
Warpath Ceremony (Goblins)
Rise and Fall of House Kaltenborn (Noble Houses)
The Hunt (Beasts)
A Hidden Menace (Goblins)
The last one is a difficult tie between Hoggart's Hideout and Hidden Menace or possibly Black Iron Pact. These are good osts but I feel the goblins just have a great ambience in the game and the songs are really fitting. Lovely stuff! Especially the main menu music has made me quite emotional.
Hoggart's Hideout is so cool. The 48:58 part to the end is so sweet.
1:47:45 absolutely love This Part !!!!!
"HUEEEEENG"
"HUEEEEeeeEeEEeeeng"
"HUEENG"
Amazing soundtrack, I love the Ancient Legions ones, they're so gloomy yet grand at the same time.
Hello! I noticed that the version "Rise and Fall of House Kaltenborn" on the channel Overhype Studios is different. Do you really create this track with two versions of gregorian choir? :0
P.S. Somehow that track drift me away to some kind of imagination "last hours of life Space marine from Warhammer40k". Goosebumps!
Hey Stephano, it's the same choir (at least from my memory). I think it sounds different because we remixed and remastered every track on the Soundtrack for the full release while the track on Overhype's channel is the first version that got into the game with the update at the time of early access.
@@breakdownepiphanies3364 Understood! Thanks for this masterpiece! Hope to hear your work someday.
03:05 killing thugs with spearwall never felt so epic.
hoggards hideout is the best track
One of them!
I love the game and the sound track. I think Alleys of Weissenhaven is my favourite, but there are so many tracks that are fantastic. Almost as good as the Diablo 2 sound track, almost.
Im my humble opinion it is the best soundtrack of 2017. And Thug Life is the best part of it. 👍👍👍
01:06:44 This is the best when You win a hard battle.
Нічога лепш за Rise and Fall of House Kaltenborn не слыхаў з часоў скайрыма. Дзякуй аўтарам, вельмі аўтэнтычны саўнд 🔥
I just love this ost. I'm translating the game to spanish and i just play this video in the background and start working jajajaa
If only there was a longer version of the Mercenary's rest.... that one always gives me the goosebumps.
Thug Life might just be my favorite "generic enemy" type song in any videogame ever
got addicted to listening to it while playing Rimworld XD
MASTERPIECE.
MAS TER PIECE!!!!
Great soundtrack, is it possible an actual orchestra was used to make this? "Unleashing the clans" reminds me of the Gears of War 1 soundtrack
There are a couple of live instruments (mostly guitar, banjo, vocals and some percussion) to make everything sound more lively and improve the illusion but all of the orchestra is sample libraries. Nowadays you can get very far with the products that companies like Spitfire or Orchestraltools came up with. You just need to understand how to play the instruments/manipulate the midi data so everything gets that human expression and feel. The other part is trying to respect the limitations that would be there if the orchestra was real and follow rules of orchestration.
Thug Life and The Hunt are the best!
Misha Vlasov the humming hills shits on both
so epic
track one is so good but on the downside it plays when I lose my ironman run so I cry
Great work! 💙
00:11:40, 00:23:10, 00:32:34 are the best for sure
great stuff, i listen to it at work to keep concentrated. Great motivation too, because you feel like you're on a f*** mission ;)
Cool I love this
