Dude, I swear only Serj could make a " Da da da " chant sound fucking metal as fuck and incredibly memorable. Jesus fucking christ I love his voice so much.
Got to respect the team for deciding to save the most recognizable artist for the final boss. It would be an easy and cheap hook to play this at level one.
@@jamescah9230 My point was, you don't even need to be a big metal fan to recognize him. Heck, you don't even need to know who Serj is. Someone can just hear him singing and they go, "Ain't that the guy from that song about make up?"
not gonna lie i was INCREDIBLY sad to see it ONLY played at the VERY last boss and it was sooooo short, i wanna play full stages with this song, it's arguably one of the best songs i've ever heard, SOAD has always been one of my top 5 favorites and Serj is a god tier vocalist, it's insane
Love Serjs' voice, have done since I first heard Toxicity and Chop Suey on Kerrang all those years ago. Magnificent. Keep rocking people of TH-cam! 🔥🤘🙌👏👊💖🔥
i want to publicly apologize to serj for ever believing that he couldn't sing anything besides melodic vocals anymore. This track is literally just 2000 era serj and i'm seriously impressed and speechless. The old man's still got it.
It’s the end To this lifeless paradise, your disguise Be the doom bringer, death ringer, cataclysmic Hellsinger Final node in desolation I peel back the sky for you Shoot a falling star as my bullet through eternity Oh, with all the lives you’ve ever lived There is nothing more to give To take the fear by dawn A paradise soon dead and gone You will ever never know I lived my life for you Your song brings no tomorrow Like a bullet ripping through Scream out with this madness Cry out, push your melodies Dramatic judgement searing heat At the end of the day it's too late But have no fear, your hell is here For with all the lives you’ve ever lived There is nothing more to give To take the fear by dawn A paradise soon dead and gone And you will ever never know I lived my life for you Your song brings no tomorrow Like a bullet ripping through Nothing can stop us now We’ll never cease to be And you will never know You’re hell to me I peel back the sky for you Shoot a falling star as my bullet through eternity Oh, paradise soon dead and gone There’s nothing else to give, no more For with the lives you’ve ever lived Sing for us, scream for us, die for us It’s the end To this lifeless paradise, your disguise It’s the end Final node in desolation It’s the end To this lifeless paradise, your disguise Scream out with this madness Cry out, push your melodies And you will ever never know I lived my life for you Your song brings no tomorrow Like a bullet ripping through And nothing can stop us now We’ll never cease to be You will never know You’re hell to me You’re hell to me You’re hell to me

Yeah, DOOM is cool, but does it have LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA IT'S THE END FOR THIS LIFELESS PARADISE or something near that? That's it.
No but we have In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him... the Doom Slayer.
@Lego Jango Fett I didn't even notice serj was singing the main theme on the Red Judges last stand until you said something and heard it in the games player that's so awesome
@@freddygarciaakadragonsuper1663 oh, it was glorious. Reaching that point in the fight on Beast mode felt amazing. That boss fight was so stressful lol. But very fun too
This song hits different. The other ones are basically saying "this is the unknown, you took her voice, now she is going to beat your ass", but this one is more... emotional. While songs like dissolution, stygia, blood and law and poetry of cinder give us a feeling of power and rage never seen before (it's almost like the unknown herself is lashing out her frustration and fury imo) telling the story from the unknown pov, no tomorrow changes perspective. Lyrics like "nothing can stop us now, we will never cease to be" or better "you will never know you're hell to me" are somewhat romantic. The singer is paz. This whole song is a love letter from paz to the unknown. "You will never know" tells that he always admired, even loved, the unknown, but she can't remember since hell takes all of your memories. The hellsinger (main menu theme) is the unknown's theme, and paz sings the same exact melody repeating "you're hell to me". This is my interpretation, feel free to correct me if i missed something TLDR: this is the most "romantic" song in the entire metal hellsinger's soundtrack and a skull is singing it
At first I thought the song was the Judge talking to the Unknown ("I lived my life for you" referring to how the Judge is only the Judge so the Unknown can make it to heaven, etc.) but now that I've thought about it I have to agree with you. The one thing is I feel like some parts are actually directed to the Judge rather than the Unknown. The main one I'm thinking about is "This lifeless paradise, your disguise" which is clearly referring to Hell. I think the meaning of "your disguise", however, is that the Judge (and Paz, I guess) is using Hell as a way to hide their plans from the All. Also, "Sing for us, scream for us, die for us" could either be Paz and the Unknown talking to the Judge or the Judge and all of Hell talking to the Unknown imo.
"You will ever never know: I've lived my life for you. Your songs bring no tomorrow, like a bullet ripping through." So romantic. I love this song so much.
Thanks for your interpretation. You inspired me to post the lyrics to chatGPT and Bard asking what their thoughts were about the song and I thought it was interesting to see what they said without the context of the game. Here's the response from Bard if anyone's interested to see what it said. It's a fun time to be alive lol Sure, I'd be happy to help you interpret the song. Here are my thoughts: The song seems to be about a relationship that has come to an end. The singer is angry and hurt, and they feel like the other person has been deceiving them. They are also feeling a sense of loss, as they have invested a lot of time and energy into the relationship. The song is full of strong emotions, such as anger, betrayal, and loss. The singer is also expressing a sense of hopelessness, as they feel like the relationship is beyond repair. However, there is also a sense of defiance in the song, as the singer is refusing to give up on their feelings. The POV of the song is from the singer's perspective. They are the one who is feeling the pain of the breakup. The song is trying to communicate the emotions of heartbreak and the process of moving on.

Breakups are hard, but they are also a part of life. It is possible to heal from heartbreak and find love again. The song ends with the singer saying that the other person is "hell to me." This could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could mean that the other person is the source of the singer's pain. It could also mean that the singer is so angry and hurt that they see the other person as a monster. Or, it could simply mean that the singer is no longer in love with the other person. Ultimately, the meaning of the song is up to the listener to decide. However, I think it is a powerful and moving song about the pain of heartbreak.
@@patc2515 if my comment inspired you to do all of this work then i have to say that i'm happy. I genuenly believe that we haven't seen anything of their relationship yet, but i doubt Paz is suffering from a friendzone. Sure, he may feel bad because hell turned her into a shadow of her true self, or maybe his plan did which is interesting to think about, but i think that we need something from the unknown side to complete the picture.
@@MetaL556 Metal Hellsinger puts a lot more emphasis on the quality of the music but its not a requirement of the genre itself. Outsiders Studio pretty much gave out sold a sick metal album and handed out a free video game along with it.
Yeah he seems to be going for softer stuff when solo, not screaming is OBVIOUSLY an artistic choice after all cause this track is definite proof he's still got it.
@Charles Wall Gemini It's something like this "Oh, paradise soon dead and gone There’s nothing else to give, no more For with the lives you’ve ever lived Sing for us, scream for us, die for us" courtesy of Syehino's comment.
Words cannot express the size of the smile that came across my face when this song played in the final battle. SOAD is my 2nd favorite band of all time and Serj's voice makes me unreasonably happy. This soundtrack is absolutely incredible and it was so heartbreaking when I heard this game didn't win best soundtrack at the Game Awards.
Of course it didn't, it's metal. What were you expecting? I expected nothing else. You see, us metal heads are all seen as satanic worshippers. Well, some of us probably are but what can we expect...
Leitmotifs may be a no brainer but god damn if they dont do it for me every time. Elden Ring did the same thing with one of its bosses and it ALWAYS gives me the chills.
This song made me buy the game. Finishing the game made me listen to this song. Now I want to play again. AAAHHHHH, we need a sequel! The game, all the music, I can't stop headbanging.
As much as it pains me to say it, Serj has truly outgrown SOAD. I'd still love a new album from them, but he really has progressed on to his own level.
I wouldn't say he's outgrown soad, that band is still absolutely fucking epic, just a shame that the band couldn't work out the differences and Serj since then hasn't really done much metal since then which is such a shame.
I was waiting for this song the whole time, then i realized they probably made it the final boss OST, wasn't wrong and wasn't dissapointed, what a send off, Great Game with a Great Soundtrack.
I just finished it, easily an 11/10. Exhilarating, amazing soundtrack plus something new with Serj. 👌

Fan-fucking-tastic game. Short, but sweet and I already am thirsty for more! I think they set up a possible sequel pretty well! The final boss with this music... holy shit! One of the most intense, most fun boss I've ever played. To be fair, Icon of Sin in Doom Eternal felt a bit disappointing but this one... OMG... Just amazing! 100% focus all the time to beat her. Did it on my first try and not many game gave me that satisfaction as this one beating a boss. I think it's time for Heaven!!! Give them hell!
THIS SOUNDS LIKE CLASSIC SOAD WITH THE AMOUNT OF SCREAMS THERE ARE BRO WENT FROM 0 TO 100 also kicking The Red Judge's ass to this song gave me so much adrenaline, I SWEAR I went feral
@@Mummyfr Attack would probably be in my list, but Mez/Hypno took a little bit of a notch down from the aggressive extreme sound as opposed to STA, Toxicitu, SOAD etc. But that doesn't disreguard them in their own right. All the songs on the 2 albums have a certain kind of undiscribable aggressiveness only System knows how to produce while keeping a composed and calm beat
@@TheREALHugo4 late to this but yeah, Serj is one of my top vocalists ever and I'm a massive SOAD fanatic, they're second to Metallica in my top bands list so that just shows how much I love the band Serj was the reason I found out about this game and he really kicked ass on this track and it made me so happy :] I get v passionate about my favorite bands so...
how the fok are you gonna say for a single second his voice isn't what it used to be? you only have 1 reply calling you out because most people can't be bothered to point out how goofy that statement is lol
@@zeening How is it goofy when it's the consensus among the large majority of SOAD fans? Serj's upper register approach and consequently tone have completely changed over the years. Not only does he rarely ever distort his voice, but he's much more reliant on head voice than chest, giving him a super nasal timbre. His voice now doesn't compare at all to the versatility and power he had back in the Toxicity era.
Just got the platinum for this yesterday, as a metal fan it’s a must buy. I sincerely hope this is successful enough to warrant a sequel, with a bigger budget it’d be epic. My only complaint honestly would be the lack of variety, only one song plays for the entirety of a level, and when they all have the same beat tempo up until No Tomorrow they all have a similar feel. The music is the fucking standout for sure, even after getting the plat I’m still playing it, it’s that fun. I recommend supporting it at retail, 40 bucks is not bad at all for the product here. Fun factor is where it shines
@@spiderjerusalem8505 yeah but at its core it’s a rhythm game so over complicating it might make the core gameplay too difficult to focus on. If there were more than 8 levels then I would agree but I think it’s fine where it is.
For me other than the first boss and final boss the boss themes were very similar. That’s really my only criticism other than how weird the final slash of the sword feels due to it being pretty slow*
"Nothing can stop us now We’ll never cease to be And you will never know You’re HELL TO ME!" lives rent free in my head, and sometimes i sing it without the song in the background
I've got many, many emotions from that song. The moment with "i've live my life for you" feels very like Paz encouraging Unknown. Very nice thing that through whole song can be heard main menu theme's leitmotiff like this song is REALY a clash of two strong entity. And the moment when Serj start singing himself said melody? Felt so intense with such fury than even metal would bleed, like long and hard fight taking its toll on both sides of fight with finaly winning the melody of Unknown despite how hard it is to continue to fight Judge despite she is also on het last stand. I have yet to play the game but just listening to this song i think i got a good feeling how the fight goes ingame!
Metal community: "Yaaa, doom is good, but i like this" Singing the notes from the main menu theme at the end is WOW Makes you shake your head to the beat of the song. So hard to shoot
yea i had the headbangig 'problem' too :'D it helps with the rythm but man its hard to aim like that x'dd but its a win - win situation even if you die ^^
Just picked up the game because I saw his face as a featured artist. This goes soooooo much harder than I could've imagined. Can't wait to get playing tomorrow night!
Idk about that, the rights and the band are from two feathers (the composers of the game by the developer), they can do a cover technically, but time will tell.
Hearing the main theme of the game in the final boss always sends me every time. Hearing Serj singing in that context pushed me further.! This entire game and soundtrack was way too much [and more] my metalhead heart. Daadaa daadaa dada daadaa daadaa dada!
Its has been a long time since ive listened to the latest System of the Down track. This song alone made me relive all the rock music i listened to in my school days. Thank god these guys still ROCK!!! 🤘😎🔥
not only to have fucking SERJ on your OST, then for it to be a final boss theme, but you got him to vocally do your theme song at the end. Y'all set us up, spoiled us, and it was good
@@destruction126 Had to come back to simply agree. Both games did this kind of fight perfectly. DooM 2 set the bar, and that bar is still high. Change the gameplay for the final fight, make people think.
I had to wait for the game to launch so I could finally find a full version of this song instead of the little clip from the trailer......worth the wait......Serj has one of the most unique voices
2 ปีที่แล้ว +29
That freakin' final boss!!! I beat her first try but that feeling! That song! Oh, it was so epic! One of the best boss fights I've ever played. It was highly amplified by the music for sure. I felt so satisfied when I beat her. That adrenaline rush! Wooohooo!!!
Unluckily I beat her at 5th try, but I was playing at Beast mode so I suppose it’s legit - I was still too excited and I didn’t leave the computer untile I beat her
I just recently discovered how fantastic System of a Down is and so far Toxicity is my favorite in terms of chorus, but Chop Suey is my overall favorite so far, I haven't listened to a ton of their music yet, but I already LOVE Serj's Voice, it's sorta soothing in a screaming, violent kinda way
his voice is genuinely incredible, nothing else like his anywhere. once you get through the SOAD discography i HIGHLY recommend Serj’s original records like harakiri and elect the dead. he just released an new EP in september called Foundations which is also very good.
Is song addiction a thing? Because I really can't live anymore without listening to this at least 8 times a day. The last section of this song is pure ecstasy, serj pulled out something beyond comprehension, never had chills like these before in my entire life..
SPOILERS IF YOU HAVENT BEATEN THIS AMAZING GAME YET: this song is almost like poetry. Almost like the red judge is trying to portray to unknown, after regaining her memories, that this is all some sick way of protecting her.
I also think there is grounds for the theory that this is, at least partly, a love song from Paz to Unknown. From one singer to another, as anothercomment said, "the one song he loved to sing."
You guys have no freaking idea how amazing it feels to beat this boss while dealing the last blow with Paz. One of the greatest feelings I've felt in gaming in years! Such an amazing game with beautiful soundtrack and pretty neat boss fight!
As someone who is into games like RDR, Metal Gear, Horizon aso I really have to say that this masterpiece is clearly in my top 5. I hope there will be some DLCs! This. Game. Is. Incredible! 🔥🔥🔥

I genuenly believe that we haven't seen anything of their relationship yet, but i doubt Paz is suffering from a friendzone. Sure, he may feel bad because hell turned her into a shadow of her true self, or maybe his plan did which is interesting to think about, but i think that we need something from the unknown side to complete the picture.
Alright Serj its just a rhythm game you don't need to go too hard.
Serj:
That's the thing about rhythm games, they MUST have a good soundtrack or everything falls flat.

@@MetaL556 Metal Hellsinger puts a lot more emphasis on the quality of the music but its not a requirement of the genre itself. Outsiders Studio pretty much gave out sold a sick metal album and handed out a free video game along with it.
They add great vocals because they show when the player is doing good in the game (high combo) so it's a great motivation
It's a crime this isn't on spotify....

Yep I really miss it Serj's voice is so damn good
He is still really good on his own he made a album in 2022 called perplex cities
@@ScorpionismZero it's okay but I prefer the heavier stuff with syod,
Yeah he seems to be going for softer stuff when solo, not screaming is OBVIOUSLY an artistic choice after all cause this track is definite proof he's still got it.

You guys sounds serious
Well that is serious
Get down kid. Angels were before your creation
Everyone talks about Serj..but no one mentions guy on drums absolute domination🤘👏
I always love when Serj sing the melodies with an angelic voice like 5:36, also Lost in Hollywood the "Ah" chorus part and the outro part of Aerials
kill rock n' roll
Words cannot express the size of the smile that came across my face when this song played in the final battle. SOAD is my 2nd favorite band of all time and Serj's voice makes me unreasonably happy. This soundtrack is absolutely incredible and it was so heartbreaking when I heard this game didn't win best soundtrack at the Game Awards.
Of course it didn't, it's metal. What were you expecting? I expected nothing else.
You see, us metal heads are all seen as satanic worshippers. Well, some of us probably are but what can we expect...
@@Fullmetal85 It also went against Alan Wake 2, so.....
I got chills when i heard Serj start singing, absolutely love this
One of the best singers in his generation
@@shwabbob8576 ur god damn right he is
The "Da Da Da Da Da" chills
WHY IS THIS NOT ON SPOTIFY ????????????????????????????????????????????????
5:36 Gave me goosebumps. God damn.
Certified System of a DOOM moment

Elden Ring did the same thing with one of its bosses and it ALWAYS gives me the chills.
Specially with red judge crawling at you 🤟
Repeated it about 1000 times
Imagine using this precise part for a Necromancer that summon his underlings.
The fact this game did not win best soundtrack at the game awards still breaks my heart
These days, those rewards are meaningless. That's why they only give awards to mediocre artists and leave good artists aside.
Not necessarily mediocre artists, just to mediocre, by the books sludge. @@MH_thesimsfreeplay667
From singing songs about pizza pie and chop suey, to this badass final boss music, Serj has surely been around a bit XD
Man's catalog is VAST
dont forget banana terracota pie :
lmao amazing comment, gave me a laugh but TRUE
bro chop suey is about suicide...
Chop suey is about suicide…
Serj is metal jesus
"he can go and take my Jerusalem whenever he like"
That’s an insult…to Serj! 😝
2:12: Classic Serj growl, love it
HELLL YEAH MAN
Serj just surpassed himself once again.
he surely did
Addicted to this song. his voice is still so good for metal. fire song
Serj going back to some of his roots. The inhales and the scream at the end gave goosebumps. Serj still has some energy left from his intense days.
When i was playing and saw his name at the top left i went absolutely nuts.
My favorite singer ever.
This song made me buy the game. Finishing the game made me listen to this song. Now I want to play again. AAAHHHHH, we need a sequel! The game, all the music, I can't stop headbanging.
I feel like we’re gonna get a sequel because of the ending, god it was a amazing game and glad serj finally came back and the last level too
5:04 That voice that is heard in the background accompanies the song perfectly, a beautiful part.
As much as it pains me to say it, Serj has truly outgrown SOAD. I'd still love a new album from them, but he really has progressed on to his own level.
I wouldn't say he's outgrown soad, that band is still absolutely fucking epic, just a shame that the band couldn't work out the differences and Serj since then hasn't really done much metal since then which is such a shame.
just wait until you hear him with tech n9ne
If this song was ever deleted from TH-cam, I’m deleting the app. This song is majestic
I was waiting for this song the whole time, then i realized they probably made it the final boss OST, wasn't wrong and wasn't dissapointed, what a send off, Great Game with a Great Soundtrack.
SAME except I thought I had accidentally missed it without realizing... imagine my surprise when the vocals opened.
I just finished it, easily an 11/10. Exhilarating, amazing soundtrack plus something new with Serj. 👌
Fan-fucking-tastic game. Short, but sweet and I already am thirsty for more! I think they set up a possible sequel pretty well!
The final boss with this music... holy shit! One of the most intense, most fun boss I've ever played. To be fair, Icon of Sin in Doom Eternal felt a bit disappointing but this one... OMG... Just amazing! 100% focus all the time to beat her. Did it on my first try and not many game gave me that satisfaction as this one beating a boss.
I think it's time for Heaven!!! Give them hell!

I swear, Serj is the whole reason I bought the game. Was well worth it, everyone else kicked ass but Serj just stands out by a mile imo.
Stygia was what hooked me, No Tomorrow is what elevated the game to 10/10 :3

BRO WENT FROM 0 TO 100
also kicking The Red Judge's ass to this song gave me so much adrenaline, I SWEAR I went feral
Glad to see you still are so passionate about it.
It would easily fit in the 5th album
@@Mummyfr You're right, my bad.
@@Mummyfr Attack would probably be in my list, but Mez/Hypno took a little bit of a notch down from the aggressive extreme sound as opposed to STA, Toxicitu, SOAD etc.
But that doesn't disreguard them in their own right.
All the songs on the 2 albums have a certain kind of undiscribable aggressiveness only System knows how to produce while keeping a composed and calm beat
@@TheREALHugo4 late to this but yeah, Serj is one of my top vocalists ever and I'm a massive SOAD fanatic, they're second to Metallica in my top bands list so that just shows how much I love the band
Serj was the reason I found out about this game and he really kicked ass on this track and it made me so happy :] I get v passionate about my favorite bands so...
So fire. Still super happy to hear him performing music like this again, and with this much intensity, even if his voice isn't what it used to be.
He has the Same voice where you can notice its serji. So i dont geht what u pogs all mean with that
how the fok are you gonna say for a single second his voice isn't what it used to be? you only have 1 reply calling you out because most people can't be bothered to point out how goofy that statement is lol
@@halodestroyer442 ROFLMAO you called him a pog, oh that was good& i agree
@@zeening How is it goofy when it's the consensus among the large majority of SOAD fans? Serj's upper register approach and consequently tone have completely changed over the years. Not only does he rarely ever distort his voice, but he's much more reliant on head voice than chest, giving him a super nasal timbre. His voice now doesn't compare at all to the versatility and power he had back in the Toxicity era.
@@feargm That guy can't bother to reply anymore because he's the goofy one in this thread lol
Serji has unironically the most beautiful singing voice ever. New generation will have a hard time catching up to his performances.
Serj when hes simply asked to make a song for a game
🎸🔥
He did not compose it, he was called only to record it, but still they made a masterpiece
@@FrangerLeotta Oh Ok! Thanks for clearing that up
I love this one - th-cam.com/video/dN5_o8hJrOI/w-d-xo.html
@@FrangerLeotta True. It was composed by Two Feathers but Serj clearly did his best! Such a good song, such a great voice!
Just got the platinum for this yesterday, as a metal fan it’s a must buy. I sincerely hope this is successful enough to warrant a sequel, with a bigger budget it’d be epic. My only complaint honestly would be the lack of variety, only one song plays for the entirety of a level, and when they all have the same beat tempo up until No Tomorrow they all have a similar feel. The music is the fucking standout for sure, even after getting the plat I’m still playing it, it’s that fun. I recommend supporting it at retail, 40 bucks is not bad at all for the product here. Fun factor is where it shines
>lack of variety
Did you damage your ears with constant metal-consumption? None of the songs sounded samey.
@@Pingevin1, he probably meant weapons and enemies.
@@spiderjerusalem8505 yeah but at its core it’s a rhythm game so over complicating it might make the core gameplay too difficult to focus on. If there were more than 8 levels then I would agree but I think it’s fine where it is.
For me other than the first boss and final boss the boss themes were very similar. That’s really my only criticism other than how weird the final slash of the sword feels due to it being pretty slow*
@@TheManWhoErasedHisNane absolutely, I agree.
Ah yes, the HD version I've been waiting
5:04 the best part, love that "nothing can´t stop us now" phrase.
Resonates so well with the player and the two protagonists. It's so uplifting and epic!
This is how much I love Serj, he can literally just song LA LA LA over and over again and that's the most metal thing in the world to me.
ever since the trailer that had this music dropped, I've been painfully waiting for the full song
The first 25 seconds are just
This is how you do final boss music.
"Nothing can stop us now
We’ll never cease to be
And you will never know
You’re HELL TO ME!"
lives rent free in my head, and sometimes i sing it without the song in the background
I've got many, many emotions from that song. The moment with "i've live my life for you" feels very like Paz encouraging Unknown. Very nice thing that through whole song can be heard main menu theme's leitmotiff like this song is REALY a clash of two strong entity. And the moment when Serj start singing himself said melody? Felt so intense with such fury than even metal would bleed, like long and hard fight taking its toll on both sides of fight with finaly winning the melody of Unknown despite how hard it is to continue to fight Judge despite she is also on het last stand.
I have yet to play the game but just listening to this song i think i got a good feeling how the fight goes ingame!
"Her music is my music, and my voice is her voice."
its more like both the judge and paz. it was both of their plan and waited an eternity for her, its just that they forgot
Metal community: "Yaaa, doom is good, but i like this"
Singing the notes from the main menu theme at the end is WOW
Makes you shake your head to the beat of the song. So hard to shoot
yea i had the headbangig 'problem' too :'D it helps with the rythm but man its hard to aim like that x'dd but its a win - win situation even if you die ^^
I'm not a Metal fan; more of a Classicalhead myself. But wow, this range... from sweet to monstruous, to deep to piercing. Incredible.
Serj Tankian : "Da da da da da"
The Unknown : "so anyway i started blasting"
Does anybody else loop the part after the "You're hell to me" scream? That ending is emotional
It's one of my favourite parts of the song, tbh.
Makes sense, since that parts essentially plays during the "Last Stand" as I'll call it from the final boss. It's a hell of a way to end the game.
Just picked up the game because I saw his face as a featured artist. This goes soooooo much harder than I could've imagined. Can't wait to get playing tomorrow night!
I hope Serj performs this with SOAD.
I would love to hear Daron doing backing vocals, or rhythm vocals with Serj.
Idk about that, the rights and the band are from two feathers (the composers of the game by the developer), they can do a cover technically, but time will tell.
Hearing the main theme of the game in the final boss always sends me every time.
Hearing Serj singing in that context pushed me further.! This entire game and soundtrack was way too much [and more] my metalhead heart.
Daadaa daadaa dada daadaa daadaa dada!
This is one of the best songs I have heard in video gaming in the past couple of years. Right up there with Bury the Light.
agreed🎸🎸🎸
Mildly funny but that’s the song TH-cam keeps recommending me to listen to whenever this one finishes
This song would be #1 on my wrapped list if it was on Spotify.
5:49 "you are hell to me" gives me the chill everytime
Anything Serj sings gives me goosebumps, the guy puts so much passion on his singing!
Its has been a long time since ive listened to the latest System of the Down track. This song alone made me relive all the rock music i listened to in my school days. Thank god these guys still ROCK!!! 🤘😎🔥
I haven't picked up a guitar in over 15 years and this just gave me the urge pick one up and start learning again, my lord.
Wow i love that i didnt know ANYTHING about Serj being in one of the songs, so you can imagine my hype during the last boss fight, that was so cool
not only to have fucking SERJ on your OST, then for it to be a final boss theme, but you got him to vocally do your theme song at the end. Y'all set us up, spoiled us, and it was good
This was not a game with a kickass album attached to it. It was a kickass album with a game attached to it.
Bro I was so stoked to see & hear Serj was in this game! I hope he considers to making more like this.
PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY PLEEEASE😭
Absolutely perfect song for an amazing fight. I loved the verticality of it, almost like an homage to the icon of sin.
_True_
It was Icon of Sin but actually good. Turns out when you don't make your boss a boring-ass bullet sponge it's fun to fight.
@@Biscotum Both games did a great Icon of Sin style fight, what are you on about?
@@destruction126 Had to come back to simply agree. Both games did this kind of fight perfectly. DooM 2 set the bar, and that bar is still high. Change the gameplay for the final fight, make people think.
Serj's voice is still perfection....god dammit what a god
Well, Unknown lost her voice, but that's obviously not the case for everyone, right Serj ? HA !
Killer song, what a beast.
Finally, an HD version.
Time to never listen to anything else ever again.
Serj’s voice is entrancing.
Vocal from high to very high and then very low and hight again. Amazing.
serj dusting off screams and guturals for a metal track, wow, we can now see what serj is still capable to make some metal with his voice
Thank you verry much! really appreciate your work. Hope they will also release a vinyl or a spoty playlist.
I had to wait for the game to launch so I could finally find a full version of this song instead of the little clip from the trailer......worth the wait......Serj has one of the most unique voices
That freakin' final boss!!! I beat her first try but that feeling! That song! Oh, it was so epic! One of the best boss fights I've ever played. It was highly amplified by the music for sure. I felt so satisfied when I beat her. That adrenaline rush! Wooohooo!!!
Unluckily I beat her at 5th try, but I was playing at Beast mode so I suppose it’s legit - I was still too excited and I didn’t leave the computer untile I beat her
I came so close to dying on my first fight with her but ended up winning with a fraction of my health bar left
I just recently discovered how fantastic System of a Down is and so far Toxicity is my favorite in terms of chorus, but Chop Suey is my overall favorite so far, I haven't listened to a ton of their music yet, but I already LOVE Serj's Voice, it's sorta soothing in a screaming, violent kinda way
his voice is genuinely incredible, nothing else like his anywhere.
once you get through the SOAD discography i HIGHLY recommend Serj’s original records like harakiri and elect the dead. he just released an new EP in september called Foundations which is also very good.
My brother showed me the boss fight and it's one of the coolest boss fights I've seen in gaming in a long time. Need more music like this!

The second I found out Serj was in this game, I already KNEW he was gonna be the final boss' vocalist. Was pretty happy when I was right.
I skipped the intro to the fight, so I didn't see his name, but I *INSTANTLY* recognized Serj's voice. Man's got a truly unique voice.
Is song addiction a thing? Because I really can't live anymore without listening to this at least 8 times a day. The last section of this song is pure ecstasy, serj pulled out something beyond comprehension, never had chills like these before in my entire life..

Holy crapoli, that ending never fails to get my hairs on end, this OST is perfection!
SPOILERS IF YOU HAVENT BEATEN THIS AMAZING GAME YET:
this song is almost like poetry. Almost like the red judge is trying to portray to unknown, after regaining her memories, that this is all some sick way of protecting her.
I also think there is grounds for the theory that this is, at least partly, a love song from Paz to Unknown. From one singer to another, as anothercomment said, "the one song he loved to sing."
Crikey that's some fucking wank. Poetry? It's a solid metal song for a videogame but Yeats it ain't
When you see the red judge coming to the last fight and this song starts...it is really hard to describe the feeling 🤟
These got to get on spotify
You guys have no freaking idea how amazing it feels to beat this boss while dealing the last blow with Paz.
One of the greatest feelings I've felt in gaming in years! Such an amazing game with beautiful soundtrack and pretty neat boss fight!
This song makes SO MUCH MORE sense with the hindsight of who the judge actually was and her true motivations
Now this… this is METAL!
My god. Serj sounds like he didn't a age a day. Still incredible
This song feels like a reward for reaching the endgame.
why is this not on spotify !? jesus this hits harder than will smith
Serj, you have always been and always be my number 1. All I have ever heard of you has been epic old new and all in between.
I am super happy glad Serj still sings metal and rock.
As someone who is into games like RDR, Metal Gear, Horizon aso I really have to say that this masterpiece is clearly in my top 5. I hope there will be some DLCs! This. Game. Is. Incredible! 🔥🔥🔥
Everything Serj does is gold, but this? This goes beyond everything. This IS glorious.
