What you're looking for is at 4:40. but watch the whole video because...because!
Thanks for the Video! i'll make sure to enjoy it!
because you're awesome!) Btw you'll enjoy Sinister of doom eternal, it's kinda the same to kar en tuk
Could you please listen to 'For The Craftworld'? I'm sure you'll have great insight on the chior sing in that warhammer song.
because
no my good sir im watching the whole video because mick gordon's work is a blessing
If I'm not mistaken, the choir is chanting "Teh Slaven ben Kar en Tuk" in the language of the Sentinels, which translates to "The Slayer will Rip and Tear". This is not a chant to instil fear in you. This is a terrifying warning to the demons of what's to come next.
So basically it's just an alarm saying that the slayer is coming. :D
@@ImTheJackel you are close to something some of the sound on the music make me think of a warning alarm
It's similar to the Haka, you're not meant to be terrified, you're meant to be invigorated
@@ImTheJackel *Warning : the slayer has entered the facility*
And
*warning: slayer threat at maximum level "
Still spooky bad for the demons.
A guy who loved music theory i knew once said to me, "You know, heavy metal is actually closer to old poetry than any other form of music. Definitely feel that with this song, it has the same vibe of "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", with the same heartbreaking melody
According to Mick Gordon and HUgo Martin, it translates to Rip And Tear, the Slayer's battlecry
In one of the tracks, I think 'The only thing they fear', it progressively transitions from Kar En Tuk, into Rip and Tear.
@@alexwright1251 pretty sure its meathook
@@yeetboy1627 it was rip and tear originally, I think they also added it to meakhook as well later on
@@alexwright1251 That's metal
So this song was actually based off of the "victory" theme from classic Doom. And while the song always gave the feeling of a hollow victory, the chanting/battle cry - which is new to Doom Eternal's version - adds a sense of rising from a deep resignation to right past wrongs. Perfect for the Betrayer.
"Watch out! There are monsters under your bed!"
Me: *starts chanthing Kar En Tuk*
*Monsters flee the house*
The Techniques used in Opera are not too dissimilar from the techniques that Metal Vocalists use, Some of them have such insane projection that you could swear they have a portal to hell in their throat
Some Vocalists that come to mind are Ben Duerr, Alex Terrible, Tatiana Shmaylyuk, Dickie Allen, Phil Bozeman etc, They could command legions using their incredible technique
In this soundtrack you also have some Mongolian throat singing (totally metal BTW), courtesy of Tengger Cavalry's Nature Ganganbrigal (who, unfortunately passed away shortly after the recording).
Totally recommended to check it out.
@@jax1670 can't forget David Draiman. He's actually a classically trained vocalist.
If i remember correctly the story goes that the betrayer was the leader of the Night Sentinels, defending the people of Argent D'Nur against Hell. At that time the Slayer was the only outsider to have been taken into the ranks of the Night Sentinels fighting against the demons with them.
Even though Argent D'Nur is an alien world and the Slayer is a stranded human far away from home, he wouldn't leave them to their fate; as the Slayer himself is the incarnation of justice and moral correctness. As the demons them self describe him: Unstoppable, incorruptable, unyielding.
Never did the Slayer harm anybody except demons. He may be hatred impersonated, but that hatred goes against Hell and evil, not against other people and beings, who made mistakes or had been used or manipulated by Hell. His goal is to destroy demons and stop Hell, not harm bystanders, innocents or victims.
However the betrayer was corrupted by Hell and he was the one who gave the demons the ability to break through the defences and consume Argent D'Nur. Hell's priests tricked him into thinking that they would resurrect his son, who fell in combat. So he literally made a deal with the devil. However the devil actually not only abused him to overrun his world, but also resurrected his son as the icon of sin, the ultimate symbol of evil; the massive demon that was later used to attack and overrun earth.
Shocked by what happened and filled with guilt for his actions, the betrayer put himself into exile and lived in isolation.
Until earth was being consumed by the icon of sin and the Slayer located the betrayer to retrieve an item, that would make the icon of sin volnurable. The betrayer gave the item to the Slayer and asked him to put his son to rest once and for all.
It's less about finding out what somebody did and much more about the sorrow and regret that the betrayer himself feels. He made a terrible mistake at a point in his life where he was weak. The soundtrack perfectly reflects the sadness, anger and pure regret of the betrayer. It's less of a reflection of revealing the betrayal it self, but rather a reflection of the endless pain, unimaginable suffering and abyssal chaos that is going on in his mind. This echoeness in the soundtrack is brilliantly "audioliasing", so to speak, the perpetual torment, wich the betrayer suffers. It basically recreates the understanding of irreversible mistakes, that caused imeasurable suffering and pain to innocents in form of extremelly sorrow and simultaniously furious music.
Correct
nothing can be more manly than listening to this song while looking at a man with a beard as magnificent as yours
I wholeheartedly agree.
Just a little more and he will actually look badass
I got here WAY too fast to see this one for sure. DOOM Eternal's soundtrack goes so dang hard, and the inclusion of a metal choir of all things for some of these songs was some of the most hype stuff I've experienced in a videogame. They use it again in the "Gladiator" theme where it's a full on, hardcore battle chant... so hey if you ever want to just get a shot of musical adrenaline that exists.
There is a real magic to choirs and their ability to create atmosphere. Like Hail the Nightmare from Bloodborne is probably the most unnerving bit of music I have ever heard and it is doing I am pretty sure Gregorian Chant style music.
Fun trivia: the guitar is quoting the Victory theme from the original game.
EDIT: More fun trivia: some of the chants in this game were done by Eric Hollaway, an Oktavist.
The best showcase of the heavy metal choir was a song not officially used on the OST, but recorded for the game that Mick Gordon shared on a livestream a few years ago: "Kar En Tuk," or "Rip and Tear", which is entirely a heavy metal choir performance. Please, PLEASE give it a listen.
This soundtrack SLAPS! And this rendition absolutely gives me chills
That short tune you speak of around 1:35 is a reference to the victory theme from the original Doom. That track is named 'the end of DOOM' and is the tune that plays in the background once you've finished a chapter and read its epilogue (who would have thought!). It's a nice tribute to the original game, in which many tracks were heavily inspired by metal bands (Slayer, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, among others).
ohhhh, i haven't listened to the betrayer since i had post-vaccine fever back in 2021. funny how the thing meant to be epic and terrifying actually got me through that state, i just kept whispering "tae slaven ben kar en tuk" with the choir in my attempts to fall asleep and... it worked
Did you have good dreams slaughtering demons?
@@iruga7379 that i don't remember unfortunately but can guess that it was the case
I would put it this way myself based on how it makes me feel. Note that this is based only on the music and the chanting without context of knowing what is being said.
Dissonant notes in the music already covey a feeling of "Something is wrong here, I just don't know what it is"
Single voice chanting (Rhythmic Talking) very softly. "is that coming from somewhere far away...or is it inside my head?"
Chanting gets louder single voice. 'Slight relief that it isn't in your head followed by the realization you are heading towards someone or something unknown speaking in a language you do not know"
Full Chorus. "the feeling not only that this is something to be feared, but why?"
Reason 1. "Obviously there are more beings present that you are wary of"
Reason 2. "The full chorus of beings chanting, chanting in unison, chanting as one entity, You feel like the outsider. You don't belong and these beings know you do not belong"
I can feel the chills Marco was having when the chanting began.
1:32 I’m going to always think of the Betrayer’s decision to sell out his gods to hell to save his son from eternal torment as a “bamboozle” now. 😂
As always great reaction and analysis!
When Doom hits...it hits right.
And it hits HARD!
I’ve listened to this soundtrack on repeat while studying for my biology degree ever since the game came out. There are so many layers to it that it never gets old. Good video, and good job dissecting it and what makes it special! Loving this channel!
Glad you enjoy it!
what an absolutely phenomenal piece. Music can have wondrous effects on living beings, but for a chant to kind of... both carve and flow at once through one's bones like this, is beautifully macabre.
When it comes to music most Hellish, i'd very much recommend checking out the soundtrack to Dante's Inferno. It gets intense, very choral and theatrical with cool effects such as rythmically rattling chains for the second half of Crossing the Styx, some more slightly Middle East-ish instrumentation for Forgotten Sands (referring to the crusades) or the wailing women screams of various intensity in one moan for the Winds of Lust.
If you haven’t already, you should totally check out the soundtrack for Metal: Hellsinger! It’s like if someone made a metal album and then someone said, “this would be great for a video game!”
Mick Gordon's soundtracks for Doom was amazing but he really turned everything up to 11 for Eternal. Putting together a choir to chant demonic lyrics to his music is something you can only do in a Doom game!
I'd love to see you react to the vocals of some tracks from the Black Mesa Xen levels, particularly "Internal Conflict", "Shadows of Death", and "Ascension (v2)". I believe the vocals were done by the composer Joel Nielsen's wife Kala, and while there aren't any lyrics, the ambience and energy her voice brings to the tracks makes the soundtrack feel outright otherworldly in places, as it should considering the setting.
There are also other songs in the doom eternal soundtrack that use the heavy metal choir like Gladiator or one literally just called Kar En Tuk
You should have a look at them!
Like Heavens Wrath (the trailer music.)
This is an underrated piece from Doom that I'm glad finally got reacted to, especially by Marco
Watching your live reaction to the shift in the music made me crying of laughter! I feel that I am always able to find interesting insight from your reaction videos
Glad you enjoyed it!
Been playing this song since the game came out, I simply cannot get enough
It never gets old seeing all these music-focused channels go through their Doom music reaction phase haha. Metal bands impressed, vocal coaches concerned, composers awed. Happy to see an Opera Singer's reaction now too!
The main chant towards the end from what I can hear it's
"Tay-Slaw Ven-Gren Kawren-Tuuk"
As the Doom Slayer once said
RIP AND TEAR( Kar En Tuk)
I hate to be that guy, but I took to your reactions very well and have a suggestion. No one remembers this gem much but it was the Xbox 360s version of Final Fantasy called Lost Odyssey and the music (for the most part) is astounding. I love the level of depth you go into with music that pulls so many heartstrings!
i think this is probably the fastest youtube has recomended a video to me, im not even mad, just happy to be here, ive been slowly watching all of your videos, and im loving it, especially the undertale letsplay ^^ keep up the hard and good work Marco ^^
:)
I never thought I'd be this interested hearing people talk about music but it's been growing on me lately, and I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel! I don't know if you take suggestions or requests, but I would LOVE to hear your take on Hylics 2's music. Especially the themes of the characters they made in Moonage Lobotomy. Having heard the dev and the composer talk about them I'm curious how you would interpret them. Delightfully strange music that's been stuck in my brain!
Edit: Heh, and this makes the second time I've heard about sprechstimme! First time I heard about it was from Hylics guys too!
Interesting…………I should explore that if they mention that
@@MarcoMeatball I forget exactly which song they were discussing when it was brought up. My memory is terrible.
That said, whatever you do I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Did you watched the making of video form this, mick Gordon did a video where he showed how he produced this song. you should check it out if you havnt already.
Great video like everytime Marco keep you love and knowledge up ^^
that slow gtar sound is actully an homage to doom 1993's victory theme
4:40 the chant was so deep I thought my PC was muted and I was just watching you react to nothing at first. Heh.
Considering your heritage, I'd be interested in hearing your reaction to "Bella Ciao", specifically the version of the song from Hearts of Iron 4.
haven't gotten to doom eternal yet (am planning on doing so soon), but this is so menacing i love it! Excited to see what happens when i play the game!
Always great to hear your thoughts on stuff like this!
I offer a suggestion: SONG OF SAYA II from a little-known visual novel called Saya no Uta.
I think you’d like the OST from Saya no Uta as a whole, honestly.
Aaaaw man i Wish you’d check out killer instinct characters themes! It’s right ou this alley ahahaha, it was my introduction to Mick Gordon’s work. Great job as always Marco, much love!
Hi Marco! Really appreciate your content, cheers from Belarus!
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ого, я не один. Привет, земляк)
There are more bits of choir in the OST, where they actually reveal it's potential. Hell, they even got throat singing in there too
I don't know if this is fully your style but Homeworld 1 has an amazing use of Adagio For Strings. If it is up your ally I would love to see a video on that.
Hadn't heard this one before. It's good and intense. I think I prefer the original version/recording more, though. Less whispering, more energy.
Thanks for sharing! I learned a new thing today!
The original with footage of them recording it is better than this version imo.
Te Slaven Ben Kar En Tuk!!
The Slayer will rip and tear!!!!
If you wish to react to something you might not have heard of, I would say Aesthetic Perfection with When the Party’s Over
If you liked the metal singers in this, you're gonna want to listen to Gladiator from the same game. :)
I'm right with you at around the 2-minute mark with the, "What? What? What? What? What? What?"
And at the 5-minute mark...
😂
Definitely give the Gladiator song a listen. Maybe then also Meathook or The Only Thing They Fear Is You
Should have paired Kar En Tuk Soundtrack with this one
Would love to see your reaction to Kar En Tuk
Now you have to listen to the actually track called "Kar En Tuk"!
Doom is a horror game in reverse. You aren’t quaking in fear of the demons; they’re quaking in fear of you
Something a bit different, it's not a choir or anything outlandish, but check out Port Sulphur Band some time. They're the band that does the music for Hunt Showdown.
If you want some argent metal, Geoffplaysguitar does argent metal covers in the style of Mick Gordon. Vampire Killer/Bloody Tears is worth checking out.
I only can imagine what he would think about the music from the Gladiator fight
The soundtrack uses extensively Mongolian throat singing.
Something also present in this song.
*spoiler*
Just in the rare case you haven't played the game yet, The Betrayer is the father of the being that will become the Icon of Sin.
I thought the Doom Guy was the Betrayer. Now it makes sense.
@@iruga7379 the lore is extensive
*spoiler ahead*
"Valen [the Betrayer's name] was one of the Night Sentinels commanders who led countless battles against the forces of Hell. However, after his son perished in battle, he was driven mad and relentlessly haunted by demonic visions of his son living in a tortured existence. Valen soon fell into desperation to bring his son back to life at the cost of betraying his kin. "
@@GrimpakTheMook And thats where the priests saw an opportunity to gain power by aiding the demons right?
@@iruga7379 by then the priests were on the side of hell, so it was just another nail in the coffin*
We should do a Metal Hellsinger day :')
Pretty sure Kar en tuk translated means Rip an Tear. At least I would like to believe it so.
Kar En Tuk is another song from this soundtrack sung by a heavy metal choir. It's cool but idk if it's reaction-worthy.
guitar motifs reminded of one game called legendary and some motifs are the same. Maybe someone will understand me
God forgot you and then this showed up
Was not disappointed
Still here
Listen Urdak / Angelic Theme from DOOM Eternal, that shit is scary
that 5:40 face be like: mama .. i am scared o_o
One song I think would be interesting to see your view on is Fertile Rondo from Bayonetta 3. Both the song and the scene in game where it plays.
With your grrat, deep psyhological describing, of situations, do this for the "Welcome Home Great Slayer"! 😁🔥🔥🔥 You are a funnt guy anyway, but profound!
'Final sin' from Doom Eternal would be great.
gives me goosebumps and makes me feel super empowered. like i could fight thor, jesus christ and eight bears at the same time.
Eight. F*cking. Bears.
If you like the chanting, then you will like "sinister" otherwise called ""citadel of hell" from doom all the more.
RIP Nature.
Please listen to Gladiator! if you liked the screams on this one, that one is gonna blow you away!
Mick Gordon doesn't miss -> can we pls get a react to the Legion theme from Path of exile? great video
DOOM Music! DOOM Music! DOOM Music! DOOM Music! DOOM Music! Hell yeah! More DOOM Music! I am so happy!
Kar En Tuk the kids and the car!
just got into this channel, so far liking it a lot.
could i make a recommendation, that being any of the quake champion theme songs made by markie music. mainly either broodmother, incendimus or eternal.
When it comes to Doom music, I highly recommend "Hellwalker" and "Davoth"
you should listen to the Immora ost by david levy (soundtrack for Doom eternal that also features more of the metal choir)
Ooh, this'll be fun
Is that a deluxe Berserk volume on the shelf behind you? Near your head. They typically fit 3 volumes into one large print hardback book.
Yes slowly working my way
Ah I had a feeling. Cool! Thanks for answering.
I am STILL foaming at the mouth.
I'd love to see a reaction to the ARK Survival Evolved OST, that game has an amazing soundtrack.
I guy said it once but I'm gonna say it again. Check out the homeworld soundtrack
Oh man you should play Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal. They are such good games with BADASS music and glory kills. Playing Doom...and im not kidding...makes you feel that you want to go to the Gym and work out.
YYYEEEEEEESSSS!!!!!!!!!!
can we get some metal hellsinger next? please
Oh HELL yes.
U should check guardian tales music too it has an cool music but pretty underrated
kar and tuk should be one he do a reaction too
React to rok nardin - the mad priest if you can one time.
Thanks.
For once yes what you do is make me marc you not make me felt terrify because of the voice you make make me tikcle with laugth because of it
You should react to the theme of the monster Valstrax from monster hunter, it's a really cool theme and I would like to see what you would take away from it
you must react to the full choir track, its an unreleased track that doesnt make it to the game, but does have some parts included in other tracks like this one.
th-cam.com/video/0ga5r-IhywE/w-d-xo.html
^ This! Absolutely this!
Scarry...
Also day 3 of asking for pokemon villain team leader battle themes.
Didn't comment yesterday's videos because no internet lol
You should react to Heavy Day, a Guilty Gear Xrd song. It's really good and it's definitely worth a listen if you haven't already.
buff pikachu thats all
7:26 very german
I know that it's a bit offtopic but if you never listened to it you should listen to the OST of Attack on Titan. Especially from the first few seasons.
