I interpreted it more like an automaton, satellite or a computer on Earth analyzing the situation and emotionlessly computing... And had a Sputnik 1 vibe for a bit, too... The only remains of civilization that would have been untouched.
definitely one of if not the most *powerful* one yet, it really makes you imagine the impact of such a large scale event on the world while watching the video amazing work as always!
We just like explosions,not 2 billion people dying Edit: there is also the 5 billion deaths scenario, which proves that nuclear bombs are neither good as weapons(because of deaths) or dezinfectants.
How can you manage to make such a bop like at the 5:40 part be so unsettling like in the intro or at 6:40, all into the same song? You're so talented, you keep putting so much quality in your work for Kurtzgesagt even after all those years! I'll never get tired of your compositions ^^
0:01 - Winter of Ash 2:08 - Agricultural Apocalypse 4:38 - Catalyst of Catastrophe 6:22 - Desolation What an aggressive track. Very similar in mood to Supervolcanoes. The end is reminiscent of Nuke a City but much less optimistic. The piano towards the end of the track in video is heartbreaking, but stripped from this version. 😢 Check out the video (8:29).
It's so weird that you seem to be the only one mentioning the resemblance, because this was the very first thought I had as well, right at the beginning of the Kurzgesagt video.
4:38 is the best part. Sounds like an apocolyptic ver. of the nuke a city soundtrack's ending (yk they're musical experts when their song logic & references make sense), the nuclear death beeping & with the aggressive touch of supervolcanos but more depressed. As the video stated, nuclear wars leads to nuclear winters that have the ability restart humanity or collapse civilization completely. Man, nukes are literally too powerful. We invented an onmipotent capable of committing omnicide. Utilizing them at all is a really is rash way of thinking and threatens the very continuity of mankind. Too bad the immense power of nukes is too much for some people to let go of... 😔🙏🏾
Prohibition is such a short-sighted strategy. Unless you plan on lightsails and cryosleep to traverse interplanetary/interstellar distances, a lack of nuclear technology may be as much a threat to the continuity of humanity. Side note: Cryonics might make for an interesting video topic.
@tops1954 And what is the distinction that legally separates technology from weaponry? I don't have a legal background but am curious how law separates the two. A kitchen knife can be used as a weapon. So is it not a weapon until used as one, or is it inherently a weapon? How much difference is there between a nuclear reactor and a bomb?
@@happymaster19 I think it comes down to the intent that something is designed, made and manufactured for. A nuclear reactor is designed and manufactured to produce power, whereas a nuclear warhead is designed and manufactured to produce an explosion. You can see the design differences in the Chernobyl disaster, where a reactor that was pushed to the brink didn't explode like a nuclear bomb, it instead simply just melted down (which did cause a steam explosion, but that was an external factor).
@@memati7199it feels weird for the Kurzgesagt soundtrack to not have a nuke leitmotif with all the videos they made about nukes. And also I really like finding leitmotiv
Well i think this one would directly give anyone an idea that there is a nuclear danger around the corner, th-cam.com/video/Xb4czQnm-yg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gW64dVhM0abhhmys
At 5:58, the supervolcanoes/sediments motif starts until the end of the track but becomes more long-winded after 6:21. 4:38 has motifs from nuke a city & nuclear war but much more aggressive like supervolcanoes. Cant pinpoint the motif from 0:00-4:37 so could you help with that? Maybe its from nuke a city too.
Its a weird feeling knowing a bomb could fall every moment which is scary imagine how horryfighing it is imagine everyone you know every person you liked or known dieying because someone pushed a red button that is not the subscribe button and then is the start of the horror
The song is a way of showing off ultimate power and also a battle between two powerful forces, which is clearly shown in the video by using two different colors and an opposing boundary. The power of nuclear weapons - the power of destruction, the eloquent sound emanates in the soundtrack. This seemed like the last great war.
The beat is so good for the very depressing end to humanity, ans the theme of the video, the music has such anxiety put into its beat and rhythm yet also has some upbeat parts to it
Wherever the term Epic Mountain came from (though I have a few guesses), this piece right here certainly fits perfectly. Its energy is just right, so it works as background music, yet at the same time, it is truly wonderful to listen to on its own. It has a wonderful mixture of heterogeneity and homogeneity that makes ever part of the song feel different and dynamic without feeling out of place. The "instruments" if work perfectly, none are out of place, from the beat to, I think I might hear guitar in some places, it all works perfectly to really paint the picture of the scene. Then the mood of it hangs in a delicate three or four way ballance between somber, angry, generally intense, and in some places even edging on something almost chippper. Putting that all together thats an 11 for energy, a 10 for variety, a 10 for instruments, an 11 for mood, and a 12 for execution, plus 1 for fitting perfectly. Overall that comes to an 11, this is amazing! Note: I am obviously not un biased.

The beeping in the background is eerily powerful... like measuring the heart rate of human civilization before it dies.
It's like you're playing plague inc.
I interpreted it more like an automaton, satellite or a computer on Earth analyzing the situation and emotionlessly computing...
And had a Sputnik 1 vibe for a bit, too...
The only remains of civilization that would have been untouched.
This is one of the most threatening and eerie tracks I have ever heard and I love it
Fitting for a doomday scenario
its youu
@@citratune7830 yes, I am me
@@ThomasThings i recognize you i like your stuff
You guys absolutely dropped the bomb on this piece, it's a subtle banger!
yeah, the quality made my head explode!
Thank you
Both figuratively with the music, and literally with the theme if the video :D
this music is *exploding* with suspension and i love it!
pun
I couldnt think of any better comment so just: good music.
I just got to the last part... holy crap. I cant describe of good that is.
GET BACK TO WORK!
That moment when the clock finally strikes midnight:
Once again, I managed to find this first before the original video itself
Ditto
We were quick this time 🙂
@@Epicmountainmusic Well played👏🏾
The darkest and most dreadful Kurzgesagt video!
definitely one of if not the most *powerful* one yet, it really makes you imagine the impact of such a large scale event on the world while watching the video
amazing work as always!
Wow! Haven't seen the video already but it really sets up an ambience. And thoses synth near the end

Excacly. We like hearing things go BANG, but only when no people are dying because of it
We like having control over things
@@fakepretender no truer words have ever been said
Unless everyone dies because of it. Planet ending booms are fun @@mr.boomguy
@@chemplay866 That's right. All or nothing are the only ways to go.

Thank you so so much!
6:40 far more dreadful than any horror movies
These guys never disappoint. Immediately added to my playlist
Nice!
3:12 this part is incredible
0:01 - Winter of Ash
2:08 - Agricultural Apocalypse
4:38 - Catalyst of Catastrophe
6:22 - Desolation
What an aggressive track. Very similar in mood to Supervolcanoes. The end is reminiscent of Nuke a City but much less optimistic. The piano towards the end of the track in video is heartbreaking, but stripped from this version. 😢 Check out the video (8:29).
this feels like a Plague Inc DLC

aboslutely beautiful piece!! never fails to give me an existential crisis

Just the removal of thermonuclear weapons, not nuclear technology itself.

@@theteadrinker1622
Intent is notoriously difficult to adjudicate.
Both bombs and reactors are designed to produce a thermal load.
On spot track, if at any time post apocalypse humans need a nuclear winter soundtrack then this should be it
The best tracks in Kurzgesagt, ever❤
I hope there's finally a nuke leitmotif!
Edit: I think I may have noticed a motif from Supervolcanoes
Why ?

Yes the supervolcano elements when the video talked about atmospheric ash induced climate change.
At 5:58, the supervolcanoes/sediments motif starts until the end of the track but becomes more long-winded after 6:21. 4:38 has motifs from nuke a city & nuclear war but much more aggressive like supervolcanoes. Cant pinpoint the motif from 0:00-4:37 so could you help with that? Maybe its from nuke a city too.
At 4:38 I was too busy boping my head back and forth to focus on the video haha great work as always
Damn this song is impressive, creepy, eerie and awesome
I love how when they bring up Brewing Hotbeds at 4:39 the soundtrack just goes hard for no reason
Please play this song worldwide if nuclear war happens.
I hope this does not happen.
What a banger.
The fact that they used two subtlely different beeps throughout is such a powerful little attention-getter. ❤
Its a weird feeling knowing a bomb could fall every moment which is scary imagine how horryfighing it is imagine everyone you know every person you liked or known dieying because someone pushed a red button that is not the subscribe button and then is the start of the horror
4:47 superhot vibes
5:58 what motif is this?? Ive heard it before, but from where....
WAIT its from the guitar strum at the beginning of 'sediments' LOL
supervolcanoes/sediments.
I get notifications for both Kurzgesagt and the Epic Mountain Music fraction of a second apart. Absolutely love your work, guys! Keep it up!
The song is a way of showing off ultimate power and also a battle between two powerful forces, which is clearly shown in the video by using two different colors and an opposing boundary.

Speechless, as I have become plasma.🎉
The beat is so good for the very depressing end to humanity, ans the theme of the video, the music has such anxiety put into its beat and rhythm yet also has some upbeat parts to it
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a
Sandwich
Me encanta esta canción, felicidades Epic mountain. I love this song, congratulations Epic mountain.
5:10
It's good.
4:38 came here just for this banger
Wherever the term Epic Mountain came from (though I have a few guesses), this piece right here certainly fits perfectly. Its energy is just right, so it works as background music, yet at the same time, it is truly wonderful to listen to on its own. It has a wonderful mixture of heterogeneity and homogeneity that makes ever part of the song feel different and dynamic without feeling out of place.

3:00 ish sounds like a PLEASE, DONT TOUCH ANYTHING ending
amazing job epic mountain
This will work great for my alien world dnd campaign. also just generally good music.
Amazing
The beeping sounds like someone on live support which fits it because if there's nuclear war then humanity is most likely not recovering from it
This song gave me genuine anxiety. What a work of art.
We’re going fission with this one 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥☢️
Epic Mountain has 66.6k subscribers at the time of writing this
I don't have anything valuable to say
This one is a banger, again
A lot of big nuclear boom-> 1/4 People die
What a masterpiece
Another masterpiece 👍
“Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter”
Does anyone else feel like this is inspired by Factorio soundtracks? Some epic music again, loved it!
I think it's gonna be cool if this song become a trailer movie background
Inspired me to make a nuclear war/apocalypse DND campaign and this is going straight on the soundtrack
Very close to the music of Plague Inc., that's amazing!
This soundtrack reminds me so much to Plague Inc. OST lmao
Has anyone noticed hat the general styles of EMM had gotten darker since population crash (2023)?
aperture science
This is a surprisingly good running song. Just saying
c:
this track scares me

Can I use this in my videos with Link in the description?
why no 1 millions subs
Good question bro
