Doomed rock ‘n’ rollers Khemmis transform “A Conversation with Death,” an early 20th century Appalachian dirge, into a sludgy, sorrowful contemplation of mortality. This song was originally released as part of a now-sold-out split 7” with Arizona traditional metallers Spirit Adrift on War Crimes Recordings and is now available on their 2020 Nuclear Blast release ‘Doomed Heavy Metal.’

Lyrics:
O' Death
O' Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Well what is this, that I can't see,
With icy hands getting hold of me?
Well I am Death, none can excel.
I open the door to Heaven or Hell.
O' Death
Too late, too late, to all farewell
My soul is doomed so heed me well.
As long as God in Heaven dwell,
Your soul, your soul shall scream in Hell.
O' Death

That was probably the most epic intro song to a game I've ever heard...
then you did not hear too much
so sad that the rest of the game was disappointing... this song was so badass
bunni there supposed to add more
Pieseł z Valhalli I agree but it doesn’t look like they have too many songs. Would love to hear more of em.
Indeed
_O' Death_
_O' Death_
_Won't you spare me over... _*_till the next quick time event_*
lol
Nice joke
another
I’m good at qtes so the only character who died was because of a decision I made
rip Conrad
Died From Jump
At least i'm not the only one struggling with quick time events T_T ( rip Conrad and Brad).
I love it when metal bands remake old American folk music.
It's pretty damn great.
@Garrett Smith go tell aunt Rudy is amazing
It's great with old German folk music too. Check out In Extremo, they are some good shit.
Please some examples. I need more like this
@@DanteKrystal Epica has some great music based upon a lot of folklore, even Mastadon has some really cool paleolitich/Saxxon based folklore songs. There's Nightwish with some good highwayman folktale operatic metal songs. If you follow Napalm Records on here, there's some Pirate folk rock music. Flogging Molly is Irish folk rock with a lot of politically driven lyrics from history and current events. So far there's only covers posted all over YT of various depression era blues and bluegrass with very little information on the actual production of the music.
If they're going to put a remake of "O' Death" at each game they'll make...I'm totally into it !
It feels like a nice tradition slash cool easter egg.
I'M SO HOPING SO HARD!!!!
I hope this too but I have the feeling that this will be the intro for every part.
I just hope that the next Dark Pictures game will be better. Man of Medan was a letdown, IMO.
AMEEEEEEEN!!! Myyyy I couldn't amen more 😔🤟
I'm here cuz that was a dope intro for the curator
Hail Winston ChurchKill
The Curator is the best part of the game

Nobody fux with De, err I mean The Curator

Until Dawn: Cool
Ralph Stanley: Legendary

Joshua Lewis Hotel:Trivago
@@emilyjennison563 damnit 😂
Until dawn is better
@@user-or8xt1vl6d the game? yes absolutely, The intro? That's debatable
And, if you want a more mournful/creepy version look up the version sun by Silas Greeves in Call of Juarez
I love the significance of the line, “won’t you spare me over till another year?” The dark pictures games have, without fail, released one every year.
Funny thing, that works unintentionally, they were planning on having the games come out every 6 months, and then Covid happened.
There is another installment of games coming. Get hype!
Oh, thanks for the text, my english is not really well, a heard everytime "spermio"😅🤣
I thought "wtf??".
Sure they did
WOW !! until dawn vibes This version is so Badass.
Same creators which is cool
My thoughts exactly. And they are created from the same company.
Thats because its part of the same Song, Or rather, Is the same song. They just have drastically different instrumental arrangements.
I Concur!
Same song
Honestly, I think this is my favorite version of this song. It just ticks off all the boxes for my musical preferences.
Electric guitar? Check.
Deep voices? Check.
Strong beat? Check.
Multiple voices/harmonization? Check.
Memorable melody? Check.
Sad lyrics? Check.
Do you also like don’t fear the Reaper?
@@lycirus2331 fuck naw homie
@@Lilniggatwekeken whats wrong with ,,dont fear the ripper" besides the fact that blue oyster cult got much better songs nobody knows about.
@@wernerrainer4218 They produce careless music that makes me uncomfortable, so ya, I gots my opinion
With the curator walking down the corridor to this makes it sound like a wrestling intro.
I'm not wrestling fan but omg that dude would have the best walkout ever
@@staple_boiPip Torrens (The Curator) or Julian Richings (Death from Supernatural)? There's a scrap that would go to the judges!
@@tricia5792All Pip would need to win is fried pickle chips.
@@FallenRingbearer Just imagine both of them walking down that hallway together 😲!
Not gone lie I’m using it 🤟
I heard this and I immediately fell in love with it. This HAS to be one of my favorite songs
SAME!!!
It needs to be released to iTunes! Song is so freakin excellent!!!!
Super SAME!!
It's on iTunes now 😆 I forgot to tell you guys yesterday
I have so many covers of Oh Death. This is an awesome cover. Kate Mann does a great one too.
This band deserves much more attention that it actually has, but I shouldn't be worrying about that since they will grow exponentially thanks to supermassive games. I've been listening to their songs for 2 days now, and was surprised with how good their music is, keep up the amazing work Khemmis.
They need to release their work to iTunes! iTunes doesn't even recognize the band's name!
They’re so good live I saw them open up for the decibel magazine tour in 2018.
Dw I'm here from PewDiePie so I'm sure it's gonna get more views and stuff
I have been listening to this for a few days and they had gotten 200 extra subs since I first started listening!
Ash Cinder And Smoke is my favorite song by the band. I’ve been listening for a few years cause I’m deep in doom metal but I’m glad to see new fans from the game and pewds.
This sounds so good, it even made the guy in the intro look much cooler!
I hope the cast got the same reactions from the opening song like we did
*Tips bowler hat*
If you'll excuse me, I have a demon to kill
(IDK if it's actually a demon in the game or anything no spoilers here)
@@alicestolze8327 probably he's going for a drink("killing some inner demons" were an old school way of saying getting smashed)
The intro song is better than the whole game itself
Ooh, death
Ooh, death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Well what is this
That I can't see
With icy hands getting hold of me
Well, I am Death
None can excell
I open the door to Heaven and Hell
Ooh, death
Ooh, oh death
Too late, too late
To all farewell
My soul is doomed so heed me well
As long as God
In Heaven dwell
Your soul, your soul shall scream in Hell
Oh, death
Ooh, death
Ooh, oh death
Until Dawn: Better Story
Man of Medan: Better Song
Man of Medan was a tad bit harder, honestly there are so many more parts for it to go wrong for your main characters compared to until dawn
Little Hope: Man of Medan, but better in every way.
@@Bobinsox is little Hope better than Man of Medan?
@@callanflanagan8706 In my personal opinion:
Gameplay and character wise: Man of Medan
Better story and plot-twist: Little Hope
@@callanflanagan8706 The characters in Little Hope are more likeable and less awkward than Man of Medan. Little Hope has an awesome story. I haven’t seen MoM entirely so I can’t judge that one yet.
This song is kind of the best part of Man of Medan so far. The opening credits scene with this playing over it was pretty legit.
Edit: Upon seeing more gameplay...yep. This is the best part of the game right here.
Well, it *is* the best part of Man of Madan.
@@yuugosvida agree. That game sucks. Until dawn was 100x better imo
- Nox - Uh no it definitely isn’t, how can you not like any of the rest of it? It’s pretty great.
vanitalaide Nah, it’s only a small part of the game, the actual whole game is far more interesting than this song.
@@darkhpokinsngaming8889 It's not that I didn't like any of the rest of it...I just didn't like it as much as hearing this song over the opening credits. To me, the characters seem kinda odd, the animation can be stiff and awkward, and the story kinda feels hollow. It just feels rushed, and I feel like it could have been written a lot better if more time was taken on it. If you like it, then more power to you. I do think it has its moments, but it just didn't really resonate with me overall.
The freaking harmonizing at 0:16 gives me chills
By far the best part
Same. Anyone know what kind of harmonization that is?
@@ThatBeTheQuestion it seems to be maybe 3 part(three people?) And a reverb overlay of some kind
@@Vernal_the_Oryx I don't think so. There's almost certainly a reverb on it, yes. Reverb is often used on vocals to make then sound larger. But I'm pretty sure this is a duet.
I think its in Bb with a minor third harmony
RIP Tony Pankhurst. You legacy as the curator will live on in these games.
Alright Supermassive, you've got my attention.
I know I'm late to the comments, but tonight we just started this, and this was my literal reaction
Just got the news the actor who portrayed The Curator, Tony Pankhurst, sadly passed away. May he forever live on in these games. :(
rip
I hope this is the reocurring theme song for the future games
*recurring
reocurring is not a word
@DimPacifist loud and proud
@@ThatBeTheQuestion you are gay
Chivokroy reoccurring IS a word, jackass.
This song is in Little Hope as well.
A rock song literally addressing death before you dive straight into stories that could certainly lead to a lot of death, it's like poetry!
too bad the song is the only good quality of the game. the rest of the game is just cliche horror.
@@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse _yawn_ Whatever you say man, I'm not here to entertain haters.
@@TheAdvertisement then you could have saved both of our time by not wasting it by ignoring me with words...you could have just ignored me in practice- but you couldnt even do that...if you cant handle people having opinions you might wanna brace yourself for the rest of the internet.
dont take that helmet off anymore mate- the corners are sharp.
YAWWWWWN - cry baby cant handle the game they like isnt universally loved. what a tragedy. "the haters" XD meanwhile you act like that haha as if you're any better XD allow me to be pretentious right back buddy.
@@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse You're the one who came onto my comment praising the soundtrack just to complain about the game, but you wanna talk about ignoring others? Really man cry all you want there's no world in which your butting in about how much you hate the game is warranted, no one's obligated to hear your opinion! :)
@@TheAdvertisement
so you're bent out of shape for me AGREEING with you...and not liking the story of the game? I can guarantee you're some cringey 13 year old child who cant handle a conversation. no wonder your dad left.
oh- and here. i wouldnt want you to be the only one who likes your own comments.
I still get goosebumps when looking at the intro. The curator walking through the hallway and then this song. Best intro song to a game I've had so far.
Music to find the bus driver to.
I watched a jacksepticeye video on Man of Medan and heard this song in it. Honestly I love this song!
Same! Watched Felix's and Jack's and desperately needed the song.
Markiplier just uploaded his gameplay of it.
@@yelhsa._. His is funny as shit. Don't know how he made it funny, but he did. I watched Jack's first, Mark's second, and John Wolfe's third. Love how each one potrays it differently. I can enjoy Man of Medan from different perspectives. I hope this song gets released to iTunes.
Dragontammer Dragon So far I’ve only watched Jack’s and Mark’s. Jack is more serious. I love how Mark makes anything funny lol.

I was floored when I first heard this.
I'm dismay when I found out that it was not on spotify.
Please. I need this. * WE need this
It’s now on Spotify. Cheers!
@@khemmis is there a reason it was removed? ;~;
@@clutterbot7279 its back *HELL* *YAEH*
It's official. Whenever I am entering any building, I will be playing this in my ears and maybe walk in slow motion.
This sounds like the theme song for a badass paranormal investegator.
The fact they repriced this song from until dawn just put a massive grin on my face
Don't you mean a... Supermassive grin? Eh? Eh? Ayy....
I'll go back in my corner now. Lol
The curator looked so badass walking in with this song playing
Easily my favorite video game intro of all time. The song perfectly gets you hyped for the game, and fits the whole premise well. Kudos to you guys for making such an awesome song!
Spotify release Pleasseeee, I love this!
YEEEEEESSSSS
iTunes too!!!
Yes! Please!
Please
Yess!! please 🤞🤞🤞🤞
LOVE THIS! Came from the Medan trailer
Sometimes, I *dream* about *cheese.*
This game is absolutely phenomenal. From the gorgeous graphics to the amazing characters and of course inspiration from one of my favourite folklore tales
The only thing this game has is jumpscares, thats it, and very obvious ones on top of that. you could tell every time a jumpscare was coming simply by the horrific camera angles. characters were even more cringey than in until dawn, and the relationships didnt matter due to the game being only 3 hours long. graphics are nice, yes, and it perfoms very good on pc, but to say that its a pehnomenal game? wtf? you legit pay 10$ per hour. one of the worst games of 2019. its made for casuals, who didnt play any videogame or "horrorgame" before, but not for gamers who know how horrorgames should be.
Edit: And the "scarefactor" is 0 after the game tells you the whole plot halfway through the game, making it pointless to be scared.
Dunning-Kruger Reiner stfu, the game is phenomenal and it is one of the best this year, you gotta be stupid to say otherwise. The game doesn’t “tell you the plot” halfway through, sounds like you didn’t actually play it, all your criticisms are stupid af. You clearly don’t get why the story is scary.
@@dunning-krugerreiner5631 agreed
@@dunning-krugerreiner5631 Characters are even more cringey than in Until Dawn? Nope. That's impossible.
@@dunning-krugerreiner5631 found the gatekeeper
I was watching a playthrough of Man of Medan when I heard this - instantly clocked that it sounded a lot like Khemmis from the instrumental at the start. Was really happy to find out that I was spot on and it was actually Khemmis :D
I just love those riffs. The inevitable Death drips from every single note.
I wonder if this intro is gonna be in every Dark Pictures Anthology chapter.
Slash the Jackalf or different versions
So far imma say yes as Little Hope has the same song :)
It is, just different versions
@@heyimlate5656 Different? How? It sounds the same to me, just shorter.
Hello from the future, it is.
That Tremolo picking at 3:35 is godlike, like, *speechless*
When the original song played for Death in Supernatural it was hype as hell...but this metal version is amazing.
that was a cover in supernatural.
@@lawrencelingenfelter9260 I realize that now that I've looked Into the lyrics. Supernatural was definitely the first place I heard it (deaths intro and Billy's theme). That's why it was so familiar when until dawn came out. This version has slightly altered lyrics from the others though and I like it.
I first heard of it in Until Dawn, and then when Man Of Medan came out I searched the song and was surprised that Supernatural also used O’ Death, since I started binging it not too long ago.
Bro I actually remember that episode that cover was amazing imo
What a perfect song to start off the series with!
I like how they are keeping the feeling of it being a spiritual sequel to Until Dawn by using the same song as the main theme in a different genre.
I can't wait for House of Ashes XD Little Hope was so epic ;-;
It’s out homie
@@kyler6654 Ye I know. Ending was really nice.
And I can't put into words how f-ing hyped I am for "The Devil in me".
House of ashes was great the best so far. Can't wait for the next one!
@@flameknightx1737 true a saw like game with decicion making I cant imgaine anything better
Man of Medan, Little Hope and House of Ashes brought me here 😍😍
R.I.P Tony Pankhurst (The Curator)
I genuinely thought the intro to this song was "Whoooooooo dis?" 😂
This shit caught me completely off guard and blew my mind the first time I booted up Man of Medan. It's just not your typical title card music. You guys fucking killed it. The heaviest metal is slow.
Oh shit this is a nice surprise in the sub feed
This song is basically the curators theme now and I love it
So yall jus not gonna put this on spotify so when im walkin into a place i can feel power
I think theyre trying at least i hope so cause i need this song on my playlist lol
Or you could just download it.
If you like this song, PLEASE check out other music by these guys. Honestly one of my favorite bands and I love the attention they're getting!
When this song plays, you know shits about to go down
I am currently running a D&D campaign set in the wild west; and Death is represented by an old man in a top hat with a banjo. This is absolutely going to be his boss theme if they ever try to attack him.
Make it the Curator
Dude thats badass
Scary Game Squad and Supermassive Games sent me. Though I'm a fan of metal in all its forms anyway, which makes me surprised I haven't heard of these guys to begin with.
One of the best game intros I’ve experienced. Absolutely going to be looking into this band.
This made me feel like I was actually playing a sequel of until dawn.
Am I the only one who heard "Oooooohhhh daaaammnnn" in the beginning? 😂
If you want lyrical video, you can search it
Came here after Markiplier’s playthrough, I was just as pleasantly surprised by this song 😂 the intro is killer.
I've never played these kinds of games so I don't know where the story is going. I though the Man of Medan was gonna be the guy in the suit, but no. Like a private investigator or something?
Pretty funny playthrough so far though
John Curry These games are kind of like “choose your own adventure” in a way I guess. You make decisions throughout the game on what to say and what to do and it impacts how the story plays out. They are fun experiences because it makes for multiple endings and playthroughs! But yeah the issues with it have been pretty funny, I hope they fix them though.
@@johncurry7225 Watch until dawn, it is the first game from the creators of that one. Way better to. It's also on Mark's channel, he put a link in his video
Dragon Hero Yes!! I loved Mark’s playthrough. I might actually rewatch that one in prep for this one!
@@johncurry7225 he is death yes death
please i want this song on spotify, need to play this on repeat in my car!
I was today years old when I found out man of Medan and until dawn has the same song in the intro
Absolutely the most badass video game intro song ever. Really hope they keep using this in the next lineup of games.
Can't wait for it to be on spotify!
"According to standard vessel regulation, we are required one more beer before hitting the hay."
"What regulations are these?"
"It's standard issue regulatory institutional protocol sub-division ten-ninety nine."
"Uh-huh, where did you read that?"
"The internet!"
"I'm into this website."
"Ten-four good buddy."
Lmao good line
"I like the cut of your ship."
I grew up listening to the Ralph Stanley version of this song, as I'm from VA and this is a VERY old Appalachian folk song. I heard this song and other iterations longggg before it became famous in the "O Brother Where Art Thou" movie - it was actually weird to see it go mainstream when I had seen so many of those peformers live and in person as a young kid.
I once had a large extended family, and so many have died, included my own mother in her 40s from cancer. It's now mainly my little sister and I, and our aging grandparents. When they are gone, it will essentially just be us. I am too chronically ill to have children, and she wants them, but faces the same issue.
When I heard this playing at the beginning of "The Devil in Me" the other day, it brought tears to my eyes, because I've always wanted this song redone like this. For the longest time, I've felt like it's been me holding my much younger sister, trying to hide her from a horrid world, with death looking at us both just over in the distance.
An inevitable fate. A version of our future I never imagined we'd be in.
The opening lyrics...I can relate to that desire so much. Not only for my own selfish desires to survive, but because who will be here for her, since Death has already taken so much from us both?
The lyrics and instrumental go so well together, it's just PERFECT!
I've been obsessed with this song ever since I first heard the cover. Very rarely is musical greatness matched so well with tonal perfection.
Every time i listen to these guys i start wondering if i should go on a quest or maybe get a horse so i can ride off to battle
The curator's introduction scene for me is the best character introduction in decades ❤❤❤
4 years later and still iconic and metal as f**k.
can't wait to see you guys on friday!
RIP Tony Pankhurst
I Feel like a early 2000’s WWE Superstar 💀
The song that plays while an old man who needs a compass to get to his office walks through halls.
How does this work so well?
Man, I just finished Man of Medan (got an ending where everyone escaped except for fliss) and am currently playing Little Hope and am like 4 hours in (from what I know, I'm decently close to the ending) I killed Angela on accident, which genuinely surprised me, because the way some of these moments are done is so well (BTW, I killed Angela with the revolver after she got trapped in the sewer, and thought it was an enemy) very fun games, and I do recommend this game to anyone who wants deep story or good horror. 10/10
I did the same. I didn't expect him to shoot unless it was clearly a spirit. Got to say House of Ashes is the best one so far. Haven't played Devil inside me yet.
@@wanderingsoul2530 Still haven't played house of ashes, no idea why to be completely honest. Also, whats Devil Inside Me? Haven't heard of that one.
@@zeepixplays9804 Don't know really. Next time you're on the game choose the anthology collection. It will let you view a trailer for all the games they have out. Even seeing Devil inside me I still don't really know what it's about.
@@wanderingsoul2530 ah, so devil inside me isn't out yet, and its the trailer after beating house of ashes. Gotcha.
@@wanderingsoul2530 devil in me trailer doesn’t give a lot of description of what’s going to happen but i have a feeling it’s going to be the best one so far out of the anthology
Shame how other channels are taking the views from the real artists. Great song! Help spread the word that this is the band's channel from "A conversation with Death"
Yeah this song is Best of all time😊😊
1st heard this song on Supernatural, then found out it’s like 100+ years old.....then heard this new version; and WOW!
Same
i love that they kept the same intro song, but different version. this is soooo good!
Holy shit nice one guys, hopefully you'll get some more recognition from this.
This song is beautiful
Love the continuation of O'death vibes into metal all of sudden. Gave me chills straight away plus now this is one of my favorite songs. Great job guys you should be proud
Every year I excitedly start the new game anticipating for this music to hit!! It's the best game intro sequence!
vidya trailers lead me to something just as beautiful to what they're selling once again
Who’s here since Little Hope got the same intro as Man of Medan?
Edit: want to clarify for myself that it’s always going to be same intro on every Dark Picture Games
All games will have the same music intro , expect every game will have different background movements, pictures on wall etc
Killing everyone in the prologue on accident then hearing this song while that fool walking up the hall
WE MISSING THOSE LUMPY OLD SPRINGS WITH THIS ONE
Heard this fantastic song during one of Squeezie live and fell in love with it!
OMFG, EARGASM
Nothing gets me pumped up for deaths I’m responsible for more than this sick cover.
Nice I love it 😍, I have a feeling that this may be the intro theme to every Dark Pictures game, it suits to be the anthem of the entire anthology and I'm excited ether way
If Until Dawn was made into an actual movie then this could be the intro song lol🤣
Best version of this song! Keep doing what you're doing Khemmis. 🖤
I can't thank you enough, guys. You really did calm me. Today, I wasn't feeling good. But this song, make feel good. Thank you so much! ❤
R.I.P Tony Pankhurst :(
Until dawn o' Death:female Voice
Man Of Medan o'death:male voice in rook version
Supermassive really like this song, don't they? It was in both Until Dawn and Man of Medan
Slightly different lyrics this time though.
It seems to be an intentional theme tying the games together. Same song, different artists and styles. I’m interested to see if they continue the pattern in the 3rd game.
Can’t stop listening! Great job dark pictures for choosing Khemmis for this kickass introduction music!
It's great that I don't see any "I liked this song before it was popular so I'm CoOl" comments
Who's ready to run from elemental zombie cenobites in 9 days?
I really hope this song is still in the intro.
I knew this song through the little hope game, I believe it is from the same creators of until down .. I found the track with that sound incredible!
You know, looking back at it, this game, after all, had a good thing: it made me discover Khemmis
I never skipped the intro for any of the games I had to listen to this every time
little hope 2020
Man it cool that they put the part from until dawn
Which bit?
zylifv the o death part
@@zylifv o death, o death, won't you spare over till another year?
@Stephen Doyle yeah, we just thought it was cool that they used it again in reference to until dawn
