A comment on an 11 year old upload of Nameless Song suggests that it's the theme for the chosen undead. You've been fighting bosses with their own themes the whole game, at the end you finally get your own. I really like that interpretation.
Skipped the AC4A track (someone's always moving on the surface) at the start. i almost skipped it too because it was the intro but he does comment on it a bit
I’m also very glad to hear your reaction to Nameless Song. The perfect ending and encapsulation to a journey across a blighted, broken land, and the hope that may be to come.
Absolutely underrated, people often just ignore the credits but epilogue startung off with the bell toll i think is great significance to how ds3's ending is finally putting the world to rest after long ages of struggle. Expecially with the end of fire ending, you put out the first flame once and for all to let the world naturally fade to darkness as it should have done all the way back at the end of the age of the gods. The absolutely angelic voice lulling the world to sleep gives you time to reflect on all the fatigues you went through in the trilogy while also once again rewarding you with long needed rest despite the bitterness of how twisted and corrupted the world has gotten by the end of it all.
Fromsoft has been apart of my life for a long time. And I didn't even know it. When I was a kid I grew up with all the PS2 Armored Core games. Then I played AC4 and AC For Answer on the Xbox 360. I remember playing the original Demons Souls on PS3. At the time I didn't know that they were the same company that made Armored Core. Fromsoft really does have some of the best music. Always have. I remember watching the intro pre rendered cutscenes of the various Armored Core games and always being blown away by them. Back in the day those cutscenes were cutting edge, both graphically for the time and the music heightened them to the next level.
Maybe it's not a popular opinion, but I really love Demon of Hatred's track. To me, phase 2 really captures the sorrow, regret, and hate of (SPOILERS if people really still care) The Sculptor. If you do certain events right, you can even speak to The Sculptor before Ashina is attacked and he'll ask you to take his life if he did become the Demon. It's the reason I do the fight every single playthrough of the story, sparing a man from becoming such a twisted abomination. Also the music. Fight is a pain, but after defeating it once or twice it becomes easier. Really that's pretty much all of Sekiro though. I remember just how much better my NG+ was compared to my first playthrough. I don't know how many people call Sekiro their favorite FromSoft title, but it's certainly mine.
I fucking love this track. Easily my favorite in the OST, and maybe in any OST, for the way it conveys the pain and, well, hatred, that the DoH feels. I think it’s incredible how it transitions from an eery and discordant melody from the violin in the beginning, representing the DoH, then when phase two begins the flute (I know it’s not a flute I just don’t know what it actually is), plays a heroic and pain filled melody on top of the violin's wailing. Then, everything clarifies with the percussion and pan flute at 35:21 and we get to really hear the DoH's theme clearly for the first time in the whole piece. Finally, the whole orchestra joins in underneath the flute in what can only be described as a painfully heroic theme representing Sekiro in his battle against the DoH. Truly some of the finest musical storytelling I've ever witnessed, and I'm a classical cellist so I've listened to a lot of symphonic poems. Side note, but the high note at 35:07 played right as I was grappling to the DoH in the air after his drop attack and it was some of the biggest goosebumps I've ever gotten from a game. I will always be a fan of FromSoftware for their uncanny ability to create moments like these.
Hmm, I think Lady Maria’s ost sounded slightly different because this one had a short concluding section at the end. Not sure if someone added that in or what but sounds really good regardless. Edit: Just realized something interesting. While Mohg and Mohg’s illusion have the same theme with small changes. Morgott/Margit have themes that are much more different. During the Margit fight, the tone is sort of subdued aggression, but during the Morgott fight, it begins strong and aggressive, but quickly devolves into a far more anxious and desperate piece. Really interesting reflection of the characters.
"Gentle Blade" is definitely one of my favorite tracks from Sekiro. The track is tragic in the sense that Emma knows she can't beat a corrupted Sekiro. Yet despite this fact she gives it her all to protect Kuro. 😭😭👺👹
Ancient dragon is my favorite OST from dark souls, the grandiose deep male singer and angelic female lead combined make ash lake feel as awe inspiring as it should be
As someone who played Armored Core 3 as a kid, and still feels its impact on my imagination to this day, I feel the need to point out that Artificial Sky IV is actually the music from the final cutscene and the end credits. Much like Oneirophobia from Lightfall, it uses a lot of the various motifs and themes from other parts of the soundtrack. Someone who has played through the game will recognize those motifs and themes and be able to almost stitch a story of their own together just by listening to that song, almost like reflecting on the journey as the credits roll. Granted, it's less expansive than Destiny, but there is a similar enjoyment in recognizing the individual pieces making up that song.
Super fun to see you react to these! I’ll just add a little bit of my thoughts on Gentle Blade from Sekiro. This song plays during the boss encountered immediately after you choose the game’s “bad” ending. You’re faced by someone who was an ally up to this point but because of your evil actions now needs to cut you down. This song really doesn’t match the route Wolf is choosing in this moment- what this song represents is the last hope, the final remaining ray of light in this land that refuses to let the darkness take over. In this moment, the boss is the protagonist, the one we should be rooting for in the narrative. This hits different for me because it’s not just some sad lore that defines this song: it carries all the weight of your character’s betrayal and all the direness of the situation, a gentle blade is all that stands between Ashina and its destruction. The hopeful tones of this song are so painful to listen to knowing that you yourself are about to snuff out that hope and plunge this land into ruin. Gentle Blade portrays so much in such a short period of time, absolutely amazing song that greatly benefits from Sekiro’s tighter narrative.
Would have really loved to hear the Abyss Watchers theme, that being my favorite from Dark Souls 3 but still all great music and a great listen overall!
Glad you did a good number of Sekiro tracks, that game's soundtrack is excellent and often doesn't get the recognition it would deserve. A bit sad you didn't do Guardian Ape, though, that's my personal favorite. The spooky strings always give me chills. Also not sure if I've seen you do Laurence, The First Vicar outside of the video you made on it. It's not my favorite bloodborne theme (that dubious honor goes to Cleric Beast) but it was the bloodborne boss theme that left the biggest impression on me and does a great job conveying the tragedy of laurence.
I think one underrated part of Sekiro’s soundtrack though is the music associated with the areas of the game. There’s some great ambient tracks and also great combat tracks that are able to standup to the game’s boss track. Something which no other FromSoft game has had. Snake Eyes and Okami Lineage are two really good examples.
I'm happy he got to hear Artificial Sky. There's multiple versions of it that play through the game, including on the title, but I remember IV being the last with an alternate version called Tribal. It's very strange and definitely not a track I would introduce someone to Armored Core music with. Most would probably say it's terrible, which is understandable especially without context. Which is interesting, because there are a number of songs I've heard in my life that I think are a bit strange and maybe off-putting in a way, but I still genuinely like them and this song is more or less an example of that. If you read this, Marco, I'm curious if there are any songs that make you feel this way-- songs that you like a lot, but may not want to share with anyone for one reason or another. I can't think of many AC songs quite that out there-- maybe Evergreen family, which is a little much even for me, but all I can say is that we should let them cook haha Honestly Plains of Rowahl was a nice surprise because I never heard of Lost Kingdoms. I don't know if it's any good, but that one track was really interesting and I quite liked it, so I need to check that out. Also, I can't wait for FF16. I have to wait a month or so before I have a chance to get a PS5, but I'm hyped for the whole thing.
@@TheLastGame666 I like DeS soundtrack, it has a unique thing to them, the remake ones are cool but the original OST have a distinct atmosphere to them.
Aldia, scholar of the first sin. When that track starts playing i always get goosebumps. I dont why, but something about that track sounds very disturbing. I love it though. One of Motoi's masterpieces. Simple, but very effective ❤
My personal favourite is Vordt of the Boreal Valley (DS3), Mirror Knight (DS2) & Black Dragon Kalameet (DS) are very close as well, would love it if you could cover any of these!
When I wanted to play dark souls 3, I had a motivation. It was music (Vordt of the Boreal Valley). I thought it was the music playing for one of the final bosses in the game, but it was actually pretty much at the beggining... Yeaah I lost my motivation 😅
As someone who is not familiar with the AC games, I gotta say AC2 has a couple banging synth tracks like Cord e. Went ahead and listened to the entire soundtrack after catching up on this, it really gets weird and maybe even a bit on the goofy side though as a clear product of its time😅 I'm really looking forward to seeing what From Soft does with AC6's OST. Really hope they build on that distinct style and just go ham with it
The Gentle Blade and Majula included in the stream!!!! I am, in this very moment, one joyous little potato.😊(Specially at Marco's reaction to The Gentle Blade)
Lost Kingdoms 1+2 are so good. Achievments are comming to Game Cube emulation in the near future and i hope at least the first game recieves achievements in the first draft :D Sadly theres basically no other game like them in existence.
First time I finished Dark souls 1 I was really mad, because I didn't know how to parry so Gwyn beat my ass really bad, I finished it at 3 AM after hours and hours if trying the final fight, so I went straight to bed and muted my pc letting the credits roll without hearing the track that sounds at the end, the second time I actually got emotional when I heard it. I think that's why Nameless song is my favorite song in fromsoftware's repertoire.
I know people always talk about the grandiose fight themes that fromsoft absolutely blasts out of the water, but, to me, nameless song will always be the dark souls theme. The simplicity of the sadness of thats transpiring in the world is so… gah. One of my favorite theories that I personally aggree with and think makes some of the most sense is that, every boss gets its own theme, but the player never does. Nameless song is the players theme. It really sets in just how tortured the player really is in the story, realistically speaking most people would have gone hollow long, long before the end. But at the end you get to make a simple choice. Give the world a few extra seconds, a few extra moments before it all cones crashing down, or simply let it fade away. There is no saving the world of dark souls. Theres merely delaying the inevitable, or letting it happen. The song just perfectly encapsulates the feeling of the chosen undead, you are in a hopeless situation. No matter what choice you make, the world dies. I always link the fire just in the vain hope that the world will continue to survive. Well, at least thats what the story of dark souls 1 was before they changed it to accommodate the sequels. Which is why ds3 reiterates the same themes…
I'm kinda disappointed that you weren't dressed like in the thumbnail. Jk, but the idea of dressing up for a soundtrack listening session is kinda funny though, you gotta admit. Great stream!
There’s a game soundtrack that I really think you’d enjoy listening too but it’s a bit long. It’s call Umineko No Naku Koro Ni. Hopefully you’ll check it out in the future!😊
Oh isee. But if you ever do get time like this, the ps3 demons souls is the perfect soundtrack to stream to. You'll absolutely love it. Love your channel BTW.
Shame there's no Burnt Ivory King theme. I feel his fits his backstory quite well, and fits the fight in general. Not to mention that I just think it's neat too.
i wish you would've heard something from the evergrace duology, if you thought armored core music was weird and experimental, just wait until you listen to "sunbeams streaming through threes on the hill", "buying goods at palmira", "edge of the world", "forsaken village", or "solca & karmyla doll boss theme"(though that one takes like a minute to get going)
Bruh Demon of hatred sounds like a David Cronenberg and Akira Kurosawa movie playing at the same time. Ancient Japanese horror its so twisted and angry.
I know the Deacons fight is easy, but I don't mind that considering the whole area before them. I was running with the Hollowslayer Greatsword, which deals extra 20% damage on any enemy considered Hollow, which the Deacons are. I tore through them like they were there. I barely heard the music, lol. Dragonslayer Armour's theme is one of the best in DS3. I love it. It's an awesome fight; one of my favorites. Probably in the top 5 Dark Souls 3 boss fight for me. Him destroying the railings and sending players flying off takes me back to Taurus Demon times, lol. Ludwig's theme and fight is still one of my favorites as well. Difficult without being aggravating, unlike Laurence, which nearly made me yeet my controller at various points. The shift in music with the 2 phases and how they handled the shift with the cutscene is gorgeous. Oceiros' fight isn't tough, but it's so dark. In phase 1 he keeps his left arm cradled like he's carrying a baby. He is, but we can't see him. The switch in phases was meant to have a bit where he eats the baby, but even FromSoftware decided it was too much and cut it. They left a lot of the audio though, so it's still a bit disturbing.

21:25 This has a genuine effect on everyone who hears it. Truly the most beautiful track of Fromsoftware's entire catalogue.
There is that comfort and tremondous sadness that permeates through out all of Fromsoft titles that just tugs. Its so poetic...
Always a pleasure to have Marco share his love for fromsoft music for two hours straight
Chad profile picture my friend!
3:40 that doggo majestically looking out the window with dramatic music playing
I’m also very glad to hear your reaction to Nameless Song. The perfect ending and encapsulation to a journey across a blighted, broken land, and the hope that may be to come.
People, including myself, are quite critical of DS1's endings. Well, just listen to the song, and you're rewarded for it all.
@BeamMonsterZeus I mean it's a similar end that demons souls had.
I don't want to seem ignorant here; but it's a shame that Epilogue from Dark Souls III doesn't get the credit it deserves. Such an underrated track.
Yeah it is top tier but rarely gets mentioned
Absolutely underrated, people often just ignore the credits but epilogue startung off with the bell toll i think is great significance to how ds3's ending is finally putting the world to rest after long ages of struggle.

First time I finished Dark souls 1 I was really mad, because I didn't know how to parry so Gwyn beat my ass really bad, I finished it at 3 AM after hours and hours if trying the final fight, so I went straight to bed and muted my pc letting the credits roll without hearing the track that sounds at the end, the second time I actually got emotional when I heard it.
I think that's why Nameless song is my favorite song in fromsoftware's repertoire.
I'd really love to hear your thoughts on Hail the Nightmare. That song is so harrowing.

"if you dont attend church, the church will find you"
Lmao
Listening to Majula by the coast cures cancer.
Someone really needs to recommend him Rough and Decent from AC6, the non bad-joke version which has the unique jazz part
Yes @MarcoMeatball . Objectively speaking, Ludwig the Holy Blade is easily one of the (top 10) best video game songs ever.
Lets gooooo!
I’d be very interested in your reaction to the music from Epic:the Musical.
I know people always talk about the grandiose fight themes that fromsoft absolutely blasts out of the water, but, to me, nameless song will always be the dark souls theme. The simplicity of the sadness of thats transpiring in the world is so… gah. One of my favorite theories that I personally aggree with and think makes some of the most sense is that, every boss gets its own theme, but the player never does. Nameless song is the players theme. It really sets in just how tortured the player really is in the story, realistically speaking most people would have gone hollow long, long before the end. But at the end you get to make a simple choice. Give the world a few extra seconds, a few extra moments before it all cones crashing down, or simply let it fade away. There is no saving the world of dark souls. Theres merely delaying the inevitable, or letting it happen. The song just perfectly encapsulates the feeling of the chosen undead, you are in a hopeless situation. No matter what choice you make, the world dies. I always link the fire just in the vain hope that the world will continue to survive. Well, at least thats what the story of dark souls 1 was before they changed it to accommodate the sequels. Which is why ds3 reiterates the same themes…
I'm kinda disappointed that you weren't dressed like in the thumbnail. Jk, but the idea of dressing up for a soundtrack listening session is kinda funny though, you gotta admit. Great stream!
There’s a game soundtrack that I really think you’d enjoy listening too but it’s a bit long. It’s call Umineko No Naku Koro Ni. Hopefully you’ll check it out in the future!😊
Doood how is one who craves more souls not in this list? You have got to give o.g. demon's Souls a listen.
Ran out of time
Oh isee. But if you ever do get time like this, the ps3 demons souls is the perfect soundtrack to stream to. You'll absolutely love it. Love your channel BTW.
Shame there's no Burnt Ivory King theme. I feel his fits his backstory quite well, and fits the fight in general. Not to mention that I just think it's neat too.
i wish you would've heard something from the evergrace duology, if you thought armored core music was weird and experimental, just wait until you listen to "sunbeams streaming through threes on the hill", "buying goods at palmira", "edge of the world", "forsaken village", or "solca & karmyla doll boss theme"(though that one takes like a minute to get going)
Is that a fromsoft game?
@@MarcoMeatball yes, and they were both composed by our boy kota hoshino :]
i shocked that there is no Sir Alonne's theme
Bruh Demon of hatred sounds like a David Cronenberg and Akira Kurosawa movie playing at the same time. Ancient Japanese horror its so twisted and angry.
A remix version of Spirit of Motherwil from ACVD will give u a very pleasant time.
i saw the thumbnail and title and i thought you were going to perform some songs for us. Sadly that wasn’t the case😅
Do covers Marko and stop playing with me!
DOGGO!!!!!!!
Is Gwyn the finaI boss in DS1 though?
I know the Deacons fight is easy, but I don't mind that considering the whole area before them. I was running with the Hollowslayer Greatsword, which deals extra 20% damage on any enemy considered Hollow, which the Deacons are. I tore through them like they were there. I barely heard the music, lol.
Dragonslayer Armour's theme is one of the best in DS3. I love it. It's an awesome fight; one of my favorites. Probably in the top 5 Dark Souls 3 boss fight for me. Him destroying the railings and sending players flying off takes me back to Taurus Demon times, lol.
Ludwig's theme and fight is still one of my favorites as well. Difficult without being aggravating, unlike Laurence, which nearly made me yeet my controller at various points. The shift in music with the 2 phases and how they handled the shift with the cutscene is gorgeous.
Oceiros' fight isn't tough, but it's so dark. In phase 1 he keeps his left arm cradled like he's carrying a baby. He is, but we can't see him. The switch in phases was meant to have a bit where he eats the baby, but even FromSoftware decided it was too much and cut it. They left a lot of the audio though, so it's still a bit disturbing.
Where is slave knight gael?
nooooo where is vordt of the boreal valley ?!?
And Gael too
Mohg Lord of Bread 😂🍞
Fortunately Mohg is not French, the lord of baguette would be his phase 5
really sad there was no evergrace music here
Sekiro ost reaction please!
cool
I feel like the OST of Sekiro is great but lacking when out of context
No King's Field love. Not even the absolute banger that is Verdite Castle 1F from KF2.
What? There were two of them in here lol
@@MarcoMeatball I stand corrected for 1 song, but I can't find the second?
