In my opinion. The chase needs just a bit more punch. It’s too subtle like most of the other killers when really it should be more like Oni. This is not a simple murder or creature looking to kill, but a armor adorning warrior that is set to aggressively bring about your end. Not exactly the same in terms of intended vibe but I was thinking something like some of the boss tracks you hear in Dark Souls, or the Knight theme from For Honor. Something louder and more grand with the instruments. Because listening to both the build up and actual chase, I’m really not getting the sounds of medieval composition or battle music like horns, trumpets, drums. It’s too techno sounding.
The characters I use when I see the knight A team 1. Dwight 2. Ada 3. Lisa garland and James Sunderland 4. Felix 5. Ace B team 1. Adam 2. Jane There are more on the b team that I play it hard to remember the name
Hmm...this one's a 75/100 for me. I like the buildup, like A LOT, but the adrenaline just kinda falls off at the actual chase section- it was a similar thing with Ghostface's theme where there's some kinda mismatch between the terror radius and the actual chase and it's really jarring. There's a lack of impact or tension compared to the other layers. It needs to be a little more grim and gothic to sell the feeling of being chased by a murderous giant in plate armour. Maybe some more macabre drum beats like an army marching, perhaps a incorporate a series of rasping metal to imitate either armourplates grinding together uncomfortably or an unsheated sword on top to capture the better feeling that this fallen Knight has found his quarry and is now closing in, prepping for the beheading strike.
I really dig the chase music. I think it fits very well since we're going to be chased by a Knight. In my opinion, it doesn't need to be more intense. When I listened to the chase music for the first time, I definitely felt the haunting medieval vibes they tried to achieve and they definitely achieved it. I'm not hating it at all!
Layers 1-3 are fantastic, such a vibe. The changes from the layers feel smooth and make sense. It fully feels like being stared down by a monstrous knight on a battlefield, the knight starting to move after locking onto you as yet another target, and turns into a scrambling feeling of 'oh shit' I must run, I'm going to die. Then the actually chase music hits and destroys that vibe. The 'oh shit' from the previous layers just disappears. The build-up is far too amazing for this chase music and lacks a smooth transition. I do like the drums in the chase part, I REALLY like the drums, but the vibe just isn't there.
the way i always interpreted the sudden shift between the third and fourth layer is that the third layer is supposed to signify the Guardia slaughtering everyone around you, but the fourth layer is when they spot you and their attention is solely focused on you. the terror radius is chaotic, like everyone’s scrambling for safety, but the chase music is concentrated and foreboding, like you’ve become their priority and their sole attention is on ending your life.
2:00 this gives me extreme anxiety, just the thought of hearing his footsteps and his armor rustling as he is following your scratchmarks as you just got out of direct chase. For an example think of him being on the other side of one of the boat walls in the Blackwater swamp or around or below you on Badham Preschool. To add onto this imagine being injured and leaving blood trails and even more scratch marks.
I kinda need this to be a bit more dramatic. The knight is a mori enthusiast as stated by bhvr. It needs to give the vibe that if he catches you it's game over
I love the radius music and the full chase isn't bad by any means but it definitely needs to sound more overbearing given the build up the radius provides
it feels way to subtle and techno for a medieval warrior. they should have gone with something more bombastic and oppressive, maybe bring in some sort of choir to really sell the medieval vibe
It's good but it could be even better. The background noise of the horse galloping as a drum base when he's near is pretty cool. But they kinda dropped that in the chase. It doesn't sound at the same pace and the sound is rather quiet in the PTB cause his armor is so loud. It sounds rather on theme but if they added more medieval vibes like trumpets in a background layer, it'd make it feel more on theme and pretty cooler
At least in Near you can still hear Approaching, but yeah, it's a really drastic change and yeah, in Chase i do not hear Near AT ALL 💀 at least in Ghostface's Chase you can barely hear Near
I feel like just amping up the volume of the percussion by like 15% would improve the chase ten fold. Love the way the buildup gives the impression of a galloping horse, you are being hunted.
I think the chase needs to be a bit more "adrenalinic" and "aggressive", it sounds engaging and determinating but not very aggressive, its literally a knight running to sacrifice you for his kingdom and loyalty
All the layers in the terror radius sounds great. But the chase music lacks the same threatening presence then the other layers in the music. Edit: I am not against Micheal E. April's work, or what emotional or thematic idea he is trying to convey. I just a fan of both music and horror.
The chase music is pretty good, but it feels like it's missing something. It's a repeated melody, with a few instruments; too few. Maybe a sick horn in the background, or some sort of conch to make it sound a bit more grand?
my favorite chase theme is blights, followed by a tie between doc and nemmy. the three of them all feel very intense, they dont just feel like a chase theme but almost like a survival theme in a helpless situation desperately trying to avoid some otherworldly terror. this one reminds me more of a zelda boss. its good, but doesnt quite feel like a "help me i dont wanna die" theme. still better than ptb ghostfaces chase tho lmao
I think the 32 and 24 meter terror radius is amazing, but the chase just comes in out of nowhere, really like it but very off-putting. Maybe it'll be more smooth of a transition in game.
If it were me I'd say this is not it chief. I don't think it gets accross the idea of knight. Now I'd suggest looking at Dark Souls who did an amazing job with making music that can invoke emotion and feels very knightly
Hmmm, I dunno, man. It feels alright, but like it isn't *Knight's* theme, just a decent "Big scary man wants to do big hurty to you run" theme. Parts of it also feel a bit too modern and hollywood-esque. It's about a high 4 to a 5/10.
@@Dhhshevejeje Not quite, no. Just like how the chase music only feels “Knight-adjacent” right now because of the church bell and almost complete lack of electric instruments, throwing a trumpet onto the pile isn’t really gonna do much. I get that it’s difficult to find references for how a chase theme can sound knightly, since when you look at most medieval music it’s usually too grandiose or inspiring to make sense, but looking at OSTs of games like the Witcher or Vermintide tell me that maybe is just needs a more outside approach. Like, perhaps going more for the Hungarian Sellsword part of his character instead?
i wish they'd chosen to go with heavier drums. the knight and his band are mercenaries, they live for war down to the most literal sense. while i appreciate the sounds of clashing metal in the chase section for their theming, i think the melody falls a little flat. more percussion!
Seems like a filler terror radius theme to me, kind of like Oni in his PTB. Disappointing to be honest, especially compared to the Hag theme that was just released. This music is rather underwhelming. Hopefully upon full release the music will be pepped up a bit. Definitely unique though, chase music diversity is never a bad thing. Thanks again Mr. April for another eerie tune to be thrilled by.
I think that it sounds really good but for me it is definilty not the level of quality and originality that we're used to. It is really not bad, just not as perfect as the other chase musics.
I wish they would keep the chase music consistent, especially between Layer 3 and Layer 4. The transition is jarring and unsettling. It was all great up until layer 4 which is not only all over the place, but just sounds awful overall. Just listen to the Doctor, Pyramid Head and Onryo. The transitions between each layer still match BPM even if they sound faster and more intense. Even Wesker's music has a transition that is smooth, not jarring, and the music quality is amazing. I really hope they fix layer 4 because it isn't that great.
Don't rlly get why the tempo seems to lower after layer 3, so much buildup only to kinda drop into an odd, limping feeling of a chase theme. Feels exactly like ghostface where the approach music slapped but the actual theme leaves potential
when listening to this, it’s slightly underwhelming. now i’m not trying to criticise or anything but the actual chase music is not doing it for me. now i know it’s only just out and most likely i’ll like it soon but just putting my points out there.

I need a horn sound whenever a chase starts as an announcement that the hunt has begun
Imagine just think your safe then hear a massive fucking war horn followed by this music
when his guards spot you, seconds after you can hear a horn blow
@@pistachioboba its a saxophone. A real horn would have been awesome.
This is the rhythm of the Knight.

I agree, its not bad but it definitely needs some more oomph to it
It needs some of the music in the menu screen.
The 8 meters is better then the actual chase, and during the chase, his armour makes more noise than the music itself
nameless king theme
It’s only ptb

I actually LOVE the chase part, it sounds so haunting and I like the church bell sound
It has a feeling of whimsy while also being tense during the chase part. I kinda love it.
I'm in LOVE with the 8 Meters/Third Layer
It’s 100 percent the best part. Honestly better chase music than the actual chase track.
I do love the subtle Hammering sounds in the background. Very fitting of all the blacksmithing and forging iconography

I see Layer 3 of being some like music peasants would sing and chant to in a tavern with their like lutes or what not, whimsical music kind of.

Just as I imagined, this sounds absolutely nightmarish. Can't wait to play as the knight... holy sh*t I'm excited!!
The approaching music sounds awesome.
Can't wait to main him when he comes out
It’d be kinda cool if they added choir for this one. I want Dark Souls boss music behaviour!
Kind of like Wesker?
@@Andrew2006 ish.. like choirs but weskers sounds loud and bombastic, but i want evil, low choirs.
This sounds terrifying and very fitting for the killer

I love the radius music and the full chase isn't bad by any means but it definitely needs to sound more overbearing given the build up the radius provides
We need a version accompanied by loud clanking footsteps, it just doesn't feel right without it
I love the terror radius variants more than the chase variant
I love the approaching part
This would give anyone chills if they're being chased by a psychopathic knight on a horse!
Can’t wait to use sprint burst and lithe running from this song
Nice chase theme!

oh god its like ghostface where the near layer and chase layer sound disconnected as hell
That’s exactly what I think but I’d say that the approaching and near layer has it even worse
At least in Near you can still hear Approaching, but yeah, it's a really drastic change
and yeah, in Chase i do not hear Near AT ALL 💀
at least in Ghostface's Chase you can barely hear Near
I feel like just amping up the volume of the percussion by like 15% would improve the chase ten fold. Love the way the buildup gives the impression of a galloping horse, you are being hunted.
I really wish they added an additional track for when both the knight and a guard are chasing the survivor
I'd say it's quite a decent chase music. Works well for The Knight. But it needs more intensity to it.
The 3rd layer is scarier to me compared to the actual chase music in my opinion
Same i hope they change it in live
Damn you are fast
Needs more power, something that makes you feel like a souls boss is chasing you, he already looks the part
Wish it had some type of choir thing but otherwise super cool
I think the chase needs to be a bit more "adrenalinic" and "aggressive", it sounds engaging and determinating but not very aggressive, its literally a knight running to sacrifice you for his kingdom and loyalty
I feel as if the chase music needs more drums. Outside of that it’s pretty good
I would've liked the near part to be his chase music
The Chase Music Feels Like a Final Boss Soundtrack
Fr
Chase theme sounds like you'd hear it while fighting Soul Of Cinder
@@FrozenFish-fn5qd never played dark souls so cant say that yet

the chase music sound like something straight out of darkest dungeon
oh god its time to go afk wraith to get the iridensen shards :(
Love the bells
Original killers from behaviour are in another level.
I was specting something like the dark knight but this is fine
The chase music is pretty good, but it feels like it's missing something. It's a repeated melody, with a few instruments; too few. Maybe a sick horn in the background, or some sort of conch to make it sound a bit more grand?
I was expecting to hear Sabaton The Last Stand instead, would’ve been much better 😂
I was thinking more of Gregorian-like chants, and/or organ, like Vladimir Hirsch's (Missa Pestilens Integra) or Aghiatrias (Gloria)
His chase music reminded me that of Clock Tower 3's Sledgehammer. Similar, fairly.
Damn. I was really hoping the killer would be Apollyon with her chase music being Wolves Amongst Sheep

Sometimes they do, so I guess we'll see.
This can actually work with vocals
I hoped for a chorus when a knight is chasing you. Still "ok"

Opposite for me. The 4th layer is great, it's the second and third i'm disappointed in.
@@freezerounds Well, we are all different. :)
Remember that the chase music (sometimes the 3rd layer as well) are most susceptible to changes, so this may not be the finished product.
