Hey Wilbert! Wow! Thank you for refilling that cup of Liber-tea and continuing the fight for our beloved Super Earth by composing this truley epic music! I was honored and proud when i read your earlier comments about my HD1 theme and of you mentioning "big shoes to fill" Well id say you filled those shoes full with Bugs and Machines , Eagle bombed and Nuked the sh#! out of them hehe!! And thank you for the loveletter to the fans and the community , a truley wonderful homage to Helldivers theme! Goosebumps deluxe! =) Best regards /Johan Lindgren FOR LIBERTY!!!!
!! Thanks so much, Johan! You wrote such an iconic theme (and score!) for the first game, it's an honor to join the HD franchise. :D (This is everyone's cue to go check out Johan's youtube for new tracks posted!)
@@abbyalphonse499 Good call! Added his @ to the description as well :-). He's got some really cool new stuff up there, including unused tracks from HD1 and a badass arrangement of this piece!
that was me and the boys when we went into a lvl 7 blitz mission. To add, I am only a lvl 13 rn and my friend who was the host is lvl 23 😂 no more reinforcement stratagems, 2 bile titans constantly respawning, and a SHIT TON of chargers. I don’t know how we extracted but we did
First drop just hit me for the first time (got the game yesterday). My hair turned to nails instantly and I cried a little. This is automatically one of the greatest music pieces created for a game ever.

You are 50% of why the game is so popular. The music takes itself seriously, ensuring that the HYPE moments get REAL. It helps create contrast with the light-hearted narrative.

@@samhuertas23 I would prefer that too, but realistically FF7R probably tickle jury and gamers' taste buds more. It is very hard to show the story telling if they weren't there for the first war of Malevelon Creek. But they will miss this epic theme if they don't somehow make it into the show.
Happy Liberty Day, everyone!! I can only express my heartfelt gratitude for the 6 million (!!!!) views this piece has gathered. Cheers, and I hope you're all having a wonderful time with the game!
@@Jumpyfoot A lil bit tipsy from my ArenaNet/343-Microsoft friend's Christmas party right now, but I'll tell you exactly the secret! You have to 1000% believe in it. It's what the world needed right now - you have to believe in being a part of something bigger than yourself. It's I think what we all needed as gamers right now, to be a part of something bigger than ourselves, regardless of where we're from. I know it's just a silly little game, but it was our brief moment where we could all come together no matter where we're from. I'll forever be grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this!
What makes a soundtrack iconic? Halo’s theme is iconic, Skyrim’s theme is iconic, and I think whatever it takes to capture that elusive feeling, that emotional sense of grandeur is on full display here in this soundtrack. Great effort from the composer and musicians
This theme I think, perfectly captures the idea of the uncritical jingoism and worship of displays of power in the form of aerial dominance laying waste to the field, that will be what drives Americans today to turn a blind eye to fascism. It will come packaged not as Nazi cosplayers, but as edits of air strikes set to MCU music. This game's satire is so thorough and perfect.
A big part is a strong, easily hummable melody. Halo has one, Skyrim has one,and so does this. Extra credits did a video on game music forever ago that does a deep dive into this topic.
@@GrumpyMcfartExactly this. A lot of movie composers have completely forgotten this and thinks that loud orchestral noise is enough to make something "epic". (Thanks Hans Zimmer)
🌍 This community is amazing, the game is GOATED, I am a level 100 player, and I’ve been playing this game almost since launch. Seeing the changes, the drama, the victories, the storyline, the community, the irl charity, and the love and passion is phenomenal. It restored my faith in the gaming industry, the power of the people, the humor and optimism, and so much more. Man, Helldivers really has changed my life, it gave me a better outlook, reignited my old passions, all for just $40 too. From taking down a greedy corpo, to destroying Meridia, to saving the Children.. I really love this game.
Arrowhead: Oke, we need a good soundtrack for when the players drop in, nothing too fancy, just motivating. Wilbert Roget: *LIGHTS THE ENTIRE ORCHESTRA ON FIRE*
I can see, in 20 years time, we'll all be looking back at this main theme, the same way we look back at the original Halo main theme today. Unforgettable. Iconic. Legendary. The main theme of Halo STILL gives me chills when I hear it, even all these years later. In my book, this game is on the same level as Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST, and Reach. Remember Reach! Remember the Creek!
I know most people won’t care about this, but for anyone who’s into music theory: I *believe* this theme is in 5/4 meter, which is a *huge* part of how it feels heart-pumping and unsettling and driving all at once. We don’t get a lot of music in 5/4. Most songs are in 4/4 and 3/4, in no small part because they make it easier to find the downbeat for dancing. But 5/4 is an uncommon rhythm, so it immediately feels unfamiliar in a way that’s both uncomfortable and exciting. 5/4 is harder to move with and dance to because of the way it alternates between the three beats of 1-2-3 and the two beats of 4-5. It’s difficult to settle into the rhythm. It always feels like that sixth beat is coming, but then the floor drops out from under you. You find yourself constantly falling forward, never quite finding your footing, always plunged into the next measure a moment sooner than you expected. (Don’t get me started on how appropriate *that* is for a *literal* Hellpod drop.) That all helps create a sense of restlessness, uncertainty, and tension. The theme from *Mission: Impossible* uses 5/4 meter to great effect in the same way. TL;DR: He didn’t just “understand the assignment.” He crushed it like a Terminid nest, dropped a NUX-223 Hellbomb on it, and then laid waste to the rubble with an Orbital 380mm HE Barrage. It’s just so perfect on so many levels.
The game is totally absurd. Four guys determine the fate of a planet after being fired down like bullets, ads about your family being eaten by bugs if you don't sign up, and freaking CAPES. But then I hear the drop theme, and I *BELIEVE.*
Four guys? My brother in Liberty, every time a Helldiver gives the ultimate sacrifice for Freedom, it's a new Helldiver that's drop to reinforce. There are no respawns, they all gave their lives for Democracy.
And it hasn't gotten old, 30+ missions in. It's literally the only way to come into a situation right now. Omg how did I miss that original typo? No my fellow divers, this entire soundtrack is what I've been listening to at work for days now. I cannot get enough of this game.
While the beginning is undeniably incredible, I feel like 2:05 till the end is not talked about enough. It invokes feelings of sadness but also heroism. To me, it sounds like the strings are for lack of better words, the sad part. And the brass section is the heroic part. I get major Titanfall 2 vibes from this part as well. This will without a doubt go down as one of the most iconic video game themes ever made. You absolutely killed it Will
When I was shopping recently, I was humming the melody and suddenly I heard "For Democracy" to my left. I turned to him, saluted and we hugged. We didn't know each other but somehow we did. No song has ever done that for me. Thanks unknown Helldiver
yeah that definitely happened i should rephrase; i believe everything about this except the hug, that just doesn't seem real. i can believe the salute though, since that's something i'd do
This game saved me. Let me explain. In the last few years, I've been struggling with depression and anxiety. I even reached the point of being suicidal. Things haven't been going well with my studies and work. Frustrated, I tried to reconnect with my old hobbies, with gaming being one of them. However, for some reason, it wasn't the same; I wasn't feeling entertained at all, and most of the current games seemed dull... or so I thought until I discovered Helldivers 2. I started to feel connected. There's this immense sense of community, and pursuing a common goal makes me feel like I belong. Dealing with friendly fire, being surrounded by enemies, yelling over the mic to coordinate, sacrificing yourself so your team can evacuate, playing with random people, and ACTUALLY HAVING FUN have made my life so much better. I cannot thank the developers and the community enough; you all have brought back the joy I once felt while gaming. To each one of you, thank you for being a Helldiver. You saved me, and I'll do my part on the battlefield.
Thanks for sharing your story, Nash! I'm sorry to hear you'd been going through such difficult times for so long, but it makes me misty-eyed to hear that we could've played even a small part in your recovery. We're proud and grateful to have people like you playing our game!
Democracy saves lives, man. And this song is even more effective than caffeine and Stim itself. I am sorry too for what you're been through, I am sure you're strong than you think. You can do this, because I've been through depression too and I was near to suicide myself too (that was more than 17 years ago, but the most recent one was 5 years ago). I hope I don't say stupid things, but hang it there man. Give a cup of liber-tea to depression and suicidal thoughts and give them some lessons of DEMOCRACY (in short, don't let depression and suicide take over you). Life is tough but you are far more badass than life itself, it's never been easy for everyone but, even if I don't know you, I believe you will make it. Also players in Helldivers 2 are so kind than any games I played (with the most toxic behaviours possible), so I hope that also help you as well.
The song that plays when 2 billion bugs are killed in 14 hours, strong arming 1 corporation in 3 days, dedicated and united fanbase in 3 months. Yeah, Helldivers 2 is special
Don't forget the very next month the Helldivers selflessly sacrificed a brand new stratagem to 'save sick children', stuck on some planet. Expect to our knowledge those kids were fake and we did it for no real reward, just because it was the right thing to do. Then Arrowhead donated a ton of money to a sick children's charity when we picked the sick kids over a new strat, revealing the true value of what we can do when we work together. Helldivers forever! We'll allegedly get those antitank mines some day, but damn if we didn't actually raise money for ill children without even being told it would help. We just agreed it was worth it to give a damn and that's what I like about us
All that with 12 million helldivers (12 million copies have been sold,meaning it’s a ratio of only 12 million soldiers against the population of China against superbugs)
It would be an actual crime if this theme doesn't win an award for "Best Theme" or similar. This theme over the drop into a mission reaches John Williams and James Horner levels of Epic.
unfortunately we all know that come award season some playstation horror game or a god of war dlc will win the award cos the composer is friends with an executive who pays for the game awards producers sponsorships
I don't care about GOTY honestly, the games I enjoy a lot are not seen by GOTY at all. And a game's recognition will not change if it wins the award. it just means its "Complete Edition" or "Ultimate Edition" will change to "GOTY Edition" instead.
@benjaminmendy-cadol2706 Even if it doesn't win GOTY, it should definitely be nominated and hopefully win best soundtrack. One award I'm sure it may win is Players Choice Award.
Helldivers 1 theme at 2:34 We will never forget those who fought for our civilization and gave their lives in the first game. Now it is time to fight back again
Many, many Earths were lost and yet we endure! Once again it is time for the Helldivers to mobilize! Glory to Super Earth! Glory to Mankind! Glory to Democracy!
@@b1g_m85*Managed Democracy. Voters on Super Earth no longer have to be concerned with socialist propaganda, for the state votes for them on their behalf with democratic automation.
This track for sure will be added to the legends such as Tetris, Mario, Halo, Wii menu music, lol. It'll be a song people know of, but may have never played the game.
I like how you run around being completely expendable, but everything in the game is designed to make you feel like the hero of the universe. From the music, to the dialogue and its all designed to pump you up. It makes me actually want to roleplay during a mission.
You did it man You've made it into the memory of the gaming community. It could have been another coop shooter, instead we have a Space Vietnam of to tell future generations, and the memories of the most intense moments are ours to keep.
When the server crashed this morning, everyone got locked out and couldn’t advance past the title screen. Ended up listening to this track a couple times and I just KNEW it was Wil. Whole soundtrack has been bangin’ so far.
The regular skirmish soundtrack is already getting repetitive (at least with bugs, maybe Cyborgs have different theme), but Menu, Drop and Evacuation music pieces are pretty cool yeah
@@zartheprotogenconnection was spotty when logging in today, but I think it’s because it’s the weekend and so many people were trying to get in. The devs said once they’re back in the office they’ll start to really fix the servers
I just thought this was some random dude posting this. Youre the actual composer?!?! Dude youre amazing!! I get chills every single time i drop and extract. Your music flows with the battle from first engagement excitement, to the uncertainty when you run out of reinforcement calls, to the triumph over the enemy by the skin of your teeth, then being brought back to the ship to do it all over again. It never gets old, it puncuates the action, and it kicks so much ass. Amazing work dude.
I just got my step dad to try this game. He loves FPS but when i told him about this game, he wasnt interested. Hes used to PvE and teamdeath matches. He also wasnt big in CO-OP cause hes not good in any games, he just plays for fun. I insisted to try it anyways. I gave him my controller, showed him the controls and got the basics down. And then came this music theme and the helldive. Hus face changed from skeptic to ok, not bad, then the fight started. Without realizing it, he got into it. Now he went home and bought HD2.
Just imagine a mashup of this theme and the halo theme- actually a halo collab for helldivers to give Xbox support would be amazing, think of a SPARTAN of liber-tea
@@Kai-1138 i mean the game if they update it right (helldivers 2) they rlly made sum special ngl like it feels familiar yets its something new if they update add content keep it alive its even better then halo imo if they do all thag
I have never played a game that simultaneously made me feel like an invincible elite, while also making me feel like expendable cannon fodder. This song, THIS SONG, sold me the propaganda that keeps me going back, feeling like a boss, no matter how many Helldivers die under my control.
Honestly this music elevate what would be campy b-movie plot parody into super high quality satire. Extremely motivational on its own but hilarious with accompanying footage of chaos. really fine line to stride.
It reminds me of Conan The Barbarian in a way, which had an amazing epic orchestral soundtrack - where it otherwise may have been ignored as a goofy 80s fantasy film.
The feeling you get after the music pauses and you and your teammates fly through space with countless other drop pods off in the distance is absolutely on point with that galactic war vibe
They should add a mode (at least a limited time one) where you cooperate with multiple different squads over a larger map on a large offensive with more enemies, would really sell the large scale galactic war feeling
@@collinthegamer510Hell yea!!! That would be awesome if they did that!!! (Even if they did that for one final stand against the aliens if they are at right at super Earth’s front door)
@@collinthegamer510this aint a bad idea at all considering how large the maps are conpared to HD1🎉 Would be hella hectic but fun to see a coordinated group of 8 roll
I've heard this song at least a hundred times already, but only now noticed this is in 5/4 signature. I think this adds a tremendous amount of energy to it.
@@RogetMusic It was beautiful. And I'm glad it's found its way into the new theme! Is there any chance your take on it might appear in full somewhere? Or is that already the case, and I just haven't been looking hard enough?
Original Helldiver here too, and I gotta say hearing that theme again hit me with nostalgia harder than a shredder missile on a Bug nest 😂 it seriously brought back so many memories it's got me tearing up a little 🥹 we honour the legacy of the first Helldivers, and we shall continue to spread managed democracy throughout the galaxy!
History happens on a daily basis, you just gotta watch for it and be there. Later in life you can say: I was there when this happened. I was at the Battle for Malevolent Creek, watched thousands of my brothers and sister dying for managed democracy, liberty and for Super Earth. The damn clankers got us but we'll get 'em, we'll avenge our fallen.
Aot of greedy corporate people wanna ruin gaming for profit... Thank liberty there are people brave enough to be FREE So are brave enough to join THE HELLDIVERS
Wilbert- music can make or break an experience. I hope you understand how sincerely epic of an impact your score has on the game. The sensation of patriotism flowing through my veins as I sail through the atmosphere into a battle for democracy… Thank you for your contribution!
The very fact that this wasn't even nominated for best soundtrack at the game awards is, in and of itself, evidence enough of their sheer incompetency and illegitimacy.
@@kait3n10other games: Silence or ambient sounds Hell Divers 2: Ok so you're gonna be launched down in a seamless cutscene to music that instills nothing but sheer patriotism with the beat drop perfectly timed and a stunning backdrop of whatever planets or atmospheric conditions are in play to what will be your death a handful of times.
@@OnlyGraftingYeah, it´s ridiculus how a mid sized studio manages to outpace tripple A stufios not just in gameplay, fun and overall quality, but also gets all those little things right like the loading scenes. Hell, most probably don´t even realise most of the loading screens, like changing to a differnt planet, with the ships jumping too. It´s insane how much thought went into this game.
“We’re not a Triple A game, but damn it I’m gonna make a sweeping patriotic orchestra theme song… and the gamers are gonna be so hyped” Honestly, with DarkTide, Dave the Diver, and this, we’ve been pleasantly surprised with banger game tracks
Hey Wilbert! Wow! Thank you for refilling that cup of Liber-tea and continuing the fight for our beloved Super Earth by composing this truley epic music!

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY
@@unclescouty2787 Lmao (caught me off gaurd)
What makes a soundtrack iconic? Halo’s theme is iconic, Skyrim’s theme is iconic, and I think whatever it takes to capture that elusive feeling, that emotional sense of grandeur is on full display here in this soundtrack. Great effort from the composer and musicians
This theme I think, perfectly captures the idea of the uncritical jingoism and worship of displays of power in the form of aerial dominance laying waste to the field, that will be what drives Americans today to turn a blind eye to fascism. It will come packaged not as Nazi cosplayers, but as edits of air strikes set to MCU music.
This game's satire is so thorough and perfect.
A big part is a strong, easily hummable melody. Halo has one, Skyrim has one,and so does this. Extra credits did a video on game music forever ago that does a deep dive into this topic.

This community is amazing, the game is GOATED, I am a level 100 player, and I’ve been playing this game almost since launch.
Seeing the changes, the drama, the victories, the storyline, the community, the irl charity, and the love and passion is phenomenal.
It restored my faith in the gaming industry, the power of the people, the humor and optimism, and so much more.
Man, Helldivers really has changed my life, it gave me a better outlook, reignited my old passions, all for just $40 too.
From taking down a greedy corpo, to destroying Meridia, to saving the Children.. I really love this game.

The fact this plays every single drop, and never gets old, means it will be a core gaming memory/classic theme for the ages.
I can see, in 20 years time, we'll all be looking back at this main theme, the same way we look back at the original Halo main theme today. Unforgettable. Iconic. Legendary.
The main theme of Halo STILL gives me chills when I hear it, even all these years later. In my book, this game is on the same level as Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST, and Reach.

@@BenInkNet yep
WERE SO BACK
I know most people won’t care about this, but for anyone who’s into music theory: I *believe* this theme is in 5/4 meter, which is a *huge* part of how it feels heart-pumping and unsettling and driving all at once.
We don’t get a lot of music in 5/4. Most songs are in 4/4 and 3/4, in no small part because they make it easier to find the downbeat for dancing. But 5/4 is an uncommon rhythm, so it immediately feels unfamiliar in a way that’s both uncomfortable and exciting.
5/4 is harder to move with and dance to because of the way it alternates between the three beats of 1-2-3 and the two beats of 4-5. It’s difficult to settle into the rhythm. It always feels like that sixth beat is coming, but then the floor drops out from under you. You find yourself constantly falling forward, never quite finding your footing, always plunged into the next measure a moment sooner than you expected.
(Don’t get me started on how appropriate *that* is for a *literal* Hellpod drop.)
That all helps create a sense of restlessness, uncertainty, and tension. The theme from *Mission: Impossible* uses 5/4 meter to great effect in the same way.
TL;DR: He didn’t just “understand the assignment.” He crushed it like a Terminid nest, dropped a NUX-223 Hellbomb on it, and then laid waste to the rubble with an Orbital 380mm HE Barrage. It’s just so perfect on so many levels.
Holy shit, you really know your stuff, this was an awesome read
I agree he definitely crushed this song.
Well ... at least it is not the theme from The Terminator!
Thank you for your input! It honestly gives greater insight on why this soundtrack is fantastic. I enjoyed the read.

But then I hear the drop theme, and I *BELIEVE.*

This game saved me.
Let me explain. In the last few years, I've been struggling with depression and anxiety. I even reached the point of being suicidal. Things haven't been going well with my studies and work. Frustrated, I tried to reconnect with my old hobbies, with gaming being one of them. However, for some reason, it wasn't the same; I wasn't feeling entertained at all, and most of the current games seemed dull... or so I thought until I discovered Helldivers 2.
I started to feel connected. There's this immense sense of community, and pursuing a common goal makes me feel like I belong. Dealing with friendly fire, being surrounded by enemies, yelling over the mic to coordinate, sacrificing yourself so your team can evacuate, playing with random people, and ACTUALLY HAVING FUN have made my life so much better. I cannot thank the developers and the community enough; you all have brought back the joy I once felt while gaming. To each one of you, thank you for being a Helldiver. You saved me, and I'll do my part on the battlefield.
Thanks for sharing your story, Nash! I'm sorry to hear you'd been going through such difficult times for so long, but it makes me misty-eyed to hear that we could've played even a small part in your recovery. We're proud and grateful to have people like you playing our game!
And they said video games are a waste of time... Seriously thats great though
Nothing better than democracy to beat depression 🗿
Hell yeah
Spill oil Helldiver! Together we will end the Automoton reign of terror!
Democracy saves lives, man. And this song is even more effective than caffeine and Stim itself.
I am sorry too for what you're been through, I am sure you're strong than you think. You can do this, because I've been through depression too and I was near to suicide myself too (that was more than 17 years ago, but the most recent one was 5 years ago).
I hope I don't say stupid things, but hang it there man. Give a cup of liber-tea to depression and suicidal thoughts and give them some lessons of DEMOCRACY (in short, don't let depression and suicide take over you). Life is tough but you are far more badass than life itself, it's never been easy for everyone but, even if I don't know you, I believe you will make it.
Also players in Helldivers 2 are so kind than any games I played (with the most toxic behaviours possible), so I hope that also help you as well.

That’s 39,000 bugs killed per second
Don't forget the very next month the Helldivers selflessly sacrificed a brand new stratagem to 'save sick children', stuck on some planet. Expect to our knowledge those kids were fake and we did it for no real reward, just because it was the right thing to do. Then Arrowhead donated a ton of money to a sick children's charity when we picked the sick kids over a new strat, revealing the true value of what we can do when we work together. Helldivers forever! We'll allegedly get those antitank mines some day, but damn if we didn't actually raise money for ill children without even being told it would help.
