As a full blood Native who was raised in the culture, it still blows my mind that the music I listened to growing up (the singing, the flutes, etc.) is in modern media such as this. It's weirdly comforting, especially since this track is a lot more calm than Thunder's? Which I still absolutely enjoy, mind you ha ha~ None the less, great job putting this together! :D
Well, when you get down to it, you have two different characters with different temperaments and personalities. Eagle's is clearer, signifying his return from captivity and his desire to change the world. Thunder's is more fierce because of his emotional anguish and quest to avenge his brother.
Earëndil there are many different Native American nations, and they have different languages and traditions. Eagle and Thunder represent the Nez Perce. Navajo language was used to communicate message to the US allies in WWII.
Love hearing both Thunder and Eagle. it gets a remix of modern but yet and mainly traditional style of music. I'm Native American so this is easily one of my favorite themes
I wanted to ask a native American. So is this theme or anything they've done with Thunder and now Eagle offensive to your culture or anything like that?
No, only SJW retards think other people aknowledging a "minority"s culture is wrong. My neighbor is mexican and had his dia de muertos decorations vandalized by SJWs because "it's cultural appropiation". Those people are egotists that think virtue signalling others and acting like the culture police makes them better than others but in fact they're no different than other fanatic ideologues like the WBC or the KKK, social cancer that must not be listened to. If you enjoy another culture the best and only true way to demonstrate your respect and admirations is participating of it with us, we are very happy to share with whomever doesn't approach with ill intentions.
Percy Propa I don't find anything offense with it, it's nice to have someome create something of it actually. Only I can find offense to it if stuff like over-the-top stereotypes was added in it but this doesn't lol
This theme has a lot of heart in it. Very passionate in spots. Listen through headphones volume all the way up you feel it at the core of your body when the emotion hits.
Wish I could like this multiple times lol I did t realize how much eagle reminds me of Turok until I saw this comment lol I was actually just listening to the turok soundtrack 2 days ago.
I don't think my body could contain how much I like this music...for some reason, it's even raising my opinion of Thunder's theme. And I already freaking LOVED Thunder's theme. How is that possible?
I'm not Native American myself, but hot damn, it's refreshing to see characters that stand out in fiction. Especially if it is a culture that isn't explored as much in fiction like indigenous culture. I wish there can be more characters and worlding building in fantasy and fiction that revolves around indigenous culture, it would be dope. Of course, there is nothing wrong with falling into the tropes like medieval/European fantasy, but when done right with lesser-known cultures, I'd bet it makes for great stories!
Because the Native Americans whole-heartedly embraced the ways of nature, the essence of the wild, power, ferocity and survival instinct runs through their veins, the warrior braves of the Native Americans BLEED badass...
awww hell yea i knew my men wasnt gonna let me down and just in time i got myself an injury in the leg so i couldnt walk for a while ended up needing cirugy and i kinda sink down but then the trailer came out and i knew i had to get back to training i wanna run with this song and thanks to you i will be able to gods bless you men
After these past 4 years, it was an honor watching all of your audio capture videos for KI. You made looking for all the dynamic parts of the songs really fun for me.
My comment may sound retarded but this song makes me feel and picture this in my head.:Like I am running with wolves in an untouched/undisturbed forest. Like I am riding on top of a horse galloping at full speed across Native American plains and grass lands through a thunderstorm.This song brings out powerful emotions. I would say that this song perfectly captures that spirit and feel of native culture, as far as I perceive and understand it. Makes me wanna go out into the forest and just start running and climbing over rugged natural landscapes.Besides this song, Native American culture, wisdom and teachings is just unbelievably phenomenal. I love how wisdom, intuition, empathy, and respect and understanding of nature are such high priorities in their traditions and culture. It's amazing and just so beautiful. I have the most respect for native Americans and what they endured and how old, yet wise their way of life, beliefs and knowledge was.Also can we please get a full translation of this song and list of all the native musical instruments being used here?
Glacius Thank you for reintroducing him back to society, Galactic Officer! And total likes on his sweet new costume and weapon! You da ma...sorry. You da alien!
Amazing!!! Absolutely beautiful! KI will never die because of music like this! I think it's even better than thunder, which I like, but wow! Great job! I hope KI comes more known now, with stuff like this.since it's KI 2 release and slumber for a very long time...and to have it come back, I'm proud to be a long time KI fan, please keep it alive for us, new and old! Eagle's theme reminds me that the ember still burns brightly for KI and it's future! Thanks for making this!
This will always be my favorite theme from Killer Instinct. Even though I am not Nez Pearce (Cherokee actually ☺️), it will always bring me joy to hear Native culture in modern music. Bravo Microsoft!
You hit me in the feels with your bio, I've also been a long time fan of the music for the killer instinct franchise. Also being part Native; Eagles and Thunders theme just hit home for me more than any of the other characters themes.
0:05 and 2:36 are the best parts in this song. Oh and can't forget the eagle cry. The flute, war cries, the vocalizing, they really went all out with the music. Not just Eagle but also Chief Thunder and that song was composed by Mick Gordon.
Hey RKosmik, just wanted to say, now that it seems KI seasons are all over, I've been following and listening to your mixes of these themes, and this being the last one, thanks for all the time and effort you put in to these. I use them during my workouts, so thanks and hopefully there may one day be a season 4
YES! YES! YEEEEEEEESSSSSS! This is what I've been waiting for! Thank you so much! I absolutely adore this song! I gave this a like before it even began. Just because I knew it was gonna be good. Especially under your talented wings. Once again, Thank You!
Chief Thunder was my favorite character in the very first Killer Instinct. I'm glad they finally showed his brother so many sequels later finally I thought eagle was dead originally .guess he survived looks like he'll be fun to play and he is technologically enhanced as well. That's nice Nez Perce First Nation cool
“Eagle and thunder were instructed to always honor the old ways. And when eagle was a young man, He went to receive a guardian spirit indeed, He wanted to help his people he tried to expose the corruption of Aria to the world... But he was trapped in Aria’s Dreamworld and his spirit was copied. After years of imprisonment something came to set him free.” 1:01 Eagle: “ I have returned.....And now I will restore Balance to the earth!”
Thunder's theme was about the journey.
Eagle's is about bringing it back home.
And brought with him the gold
I’m an actual Nez Perce thank you Killer Instinct and thank you Microsoft for these awesome characters and music.
I guess thanks to Mick Gordon.
You've got to listen up hinamatoom & polemos...
My favs, personally.
Thanks bro, I didn't know
@@MegaMiner25 thanks for the info.

Me too . . .
@Memento mori th-cam.com/video/kRtK2Fq-1Ew/w-d-xo.html
Thunder's theme is more of a warlike tone while Eagle's sounds like more of welcoming/homecoming then switches into a full blown battle theme.
This theme has a lot of heart in it. Very passionate in spots. Listen through headphones volume all the way up you feel it at the core of your body when the emotion hits.
7:03 best danger theme in the game
Eagle vs Riptor = Turok
Wish I could like this multiple times lol I did t realize how much eagle reminds me of Turok until I saw this comment lol I was actually just listening to the turok soundtrack 2 days ago.
Cody Olson ...made by blizzard
HAHAHAHA!
Bernie Lord of Cynder nah screw blizzard .. let id or machinegames do it ...
also rip acclaim
YESSSSSSS TUROK NEEDS GAME ENTRANCE
Eagle: The man, the myth, the legend
The one who died, but came back better than ever
I don't think my body could contain how much I like this music...for some reason, it's even raising my opinion of Thunder's theme. And I already freaking LOVED Thunder's theme. How is that possible?

This track ended up being my favourite during the Atlas/Celldweller season, with Eyedol's theme being a close second. Such a unique piece.
Why does Native American music have to make this so effing badass?!
I think it's because it sounds like a war song, gets you pumped up.
The Bobbinator go to a pow wow and look at the size of drums they use. That's how we natives used to get pumped for wars
Because the Native Americans whole-heartedly embraced the ways of nature, the essence of the wild, power, ferocity and survival instinct runs through their veins, the warrior braves of the Native Americans BLEED badass...
Because we are a badass people.
This theme song is almost like a long overdue recognition of Native American culture in the West.
This is probably the best track by Atlas x CellDweller. Most creative track they've made so far.
Nothing comes close to Kim Wu for me.
and the "Whatchman of the Gods ".
that rash and gagos theme
This is a contender for Best Theme in the Game for sure.
Agreed, human DarKnightSpider!
Glacius i like your theme more
DarKnightSpider agreed this is my fave now.
I like this compared to Thunder's theme, if I'm honest. It's more like a war dance, where Thunder's is very much a rain dance.
awww hell yea i knew my men wasnt gonna let me down and just in time i got myself an injury in the leg so i couldnt walk for a while ended up needing cirugy and i kinda sink down but then the trailer came out and i knew i had to get back to training i wanna run with this song and thanks to you i will be able to gods bless you men
vivamexico254 hey man sorry about the injury. Glad I can help in some way stay strong and best wishes for a speedy recovery!
@@RKosmik are you still here?
Proud to be of Native American descent Eagle is my new favorite character
Eagle is my favorite Native American character in a fighting game next to Nightwolf and Thunder makes me proud to be Native
Timothy Broomell make us proud.....
I feel that connection with our ancestors is that link I cannot xplain.
Same bro.
These characters make me proud to be native as well
Whether it's this or thunders theme it makes me hunger for a Turok movie which I think would be cool to see.
I like the new style of the video for the this theme
7:46 ULTRA
Native American music is always so empowering. I feel like I could topple a damn truck anytime I hear this.
After these past 4 years, it was an honor watching all of your audio capture videos for KI. You made looking for all the dynamic parts of the songs really fun for me.
This one is just as badass as Hinnamatoom! I'm listening to both non-stop now :)

I had a l low expectations when I seen he had a theme.
After a sick ass intro, I can say I am happy I gave Eagle a chance.
6:00secs sends me to a musical world of feels! Such badass music, I love it.
You are welcome humans!
Glacius Thank you for reintroducing him back to society, Galactic Officer! And total likes on his sweet new costume and weapon! You da ma...sorry. You da alien!
Glacius Thank you for saving Eagle.
Glacius I love you bro
Glacius your actions are very noble and were good intentions
thank you
Ironically, I believe you would have went to blow up earth if it wasn't for you finding someone who is soul-bound in balancing it out.
Amazing!!! Absolutely beautiful! KI will never die because of music like this! I think it's even better than thunder, which I like, but wow! Great job!

Absolhunter251 I don't really see much people playing KI much online anymore..
if I ever have a boxing match this is gonna be my walkout music, this or Hinnamoom!
This will always be my favorite theme from Killer Instinct. Even though I am not Nez Pearce (Cherokee actually ☺️), it will always bring me joy to hear Native culture in modern music. Bravo Microsoft!
Native American drumming is so powerful and deeply spiritual. Great theme for a proud Native American character like Eagle.
He fights with the might of the Ancestors and the guidance of the Great Spirit. 🦅🦅🦅
Now that’s the the first champion of killer instinct we’re talking about
I was waiting for this ever since the teaser....this is it...I waited long for this moment to arrive and even longer for the wav's arrival!
It's in the description!
EAGLE HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE! =D
Thunder, eagle,and tusk be kicking butt on these themes. Eagle has become my first favorite themes to fight to, at first it was tusk and thunder.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!! No words can describe this.
I feel like dancing around a campfire to this
The guy singing sounds similar to the guy who sung in Hinnamatoom...I guess Atlas and Cell worked with the same people.
They worked with the Nez Perce tribe.
MunkyDrag0n And it's a good thing they did.
When I first heard this song I was like, “Did Killer Instinct hire A Tribe Called Red to do the theme? Cuz this song is dope!”
Congrats to the nez perce
About to go Turok on Riptor's ass.
Nice Work BRO, when i heard first thing i did was look up to the Sky
Man this is some strong material. What's not to love about a fat overdriven acoustic guitar :D
3:01 that part is so epic
I. Am. Turok!
TKS TUROKKKK
SON OF STONEE
Such a great theme, Eagl appearance and style remind of someomon but who?
A badass guy in a video game using a bow? Hmmm
"I AM TUROK!!!"
Thought you were gonna say night wolf
marcus22greene The son of stone
More like Arthur Morgan am I right bois
This is probably my favorite theme in the whole game. There’s just something about it.
Sweet bro
God the vocals are so dam good
So I get to see my favorite character as a human FINALLY. Yes and Eagle got turned into Fulgore for those not knowing of KI lore.
You hit me in the feels with your bio, I've also been a long time fan of the music for the killer instinct franchise. Also being part Native; Eagles and Thunders theme just hit home for me more than any of the other characters themes.
3:16 my favorite part
If I was a fighter like I wanted to be (Medical Ineligibility) this would've been my entrance theme.
I got to say listening to this I'm impressed on how well Atlas and Cell replicated mick gordens style
I'm admittedly only part Native but this is still awesome AF lol
damn, this theme gives me the chills
Ao idkinac XD
This song evoke the freedom spirit.Like riding a horse in a storm
I love this theme
As someone who is Native American, I feel like a warrior hearing this and Hinnamatoom
I really love the danger theme.
The song of Eagle is AWESOME!
nice work the intro is fire.
0:05 and 2:36 are the best parts in this song. Oh and can't forget the eagle cry. The flute, war cries, the vocalizing, they really went all out with the music. Not just Eagle but also Chief Thunder and that song was composed by Mick Gordon.
Top 5 favorite themes now:
1.Arbiter
2.Eagle
3.Maya
4. Shin Hisako
5.Rash
I agree with you on arbiter theme being my top favorite 2nd for me would be thunder then fulgore then eagle then last Raam
Definitely my Top 3 as of the whole cast being finished I'd say are Gargos' on top, then Arby and then Eagle :D
FlutterBlue2792 No Cinder Theme? For shame.
NotSoSeriousNick hey I'm only listing my top 5. Cinder is one of my top 10 favorites
Actually eyedol
Sequence at 6:00 is so powerful. I love it.
weeeeeeeoh,weeeeeoh, hey ha, hey ha.
Dam now I want a new open World Turok game with some Epic music to go along with it like the originals 😢😢😢
Eagle is brilliant

WAV..... is IN DESCRIPTION
HEEEEEEEEEE IOOOO HE IOOOOOROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO iOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!! !!!!!! \o/ With this song, I ended up evoking the ferocious spirits of my ancestors
God that idle theme is so sick.
I miss KI (2013) Guilty gear strive makes me wanna fall asleep
why?
Incredible song, incredible. This music is the most listening for me this year.
Now this soundtrack is a masterpiece
Hell yes! Been waiting for either this and/or the official theme!
Both are awesome.
I admire Native Americans so much...truly a great people...they were one with Mother Nature
I wish there was an extended cut of this.
This makes me want to go to the forest and run with wolves
Farmer Yahty And shoot arrows while jumping, I might add 😏
Going all Merida from "Brave", shooting arrows while the wind follows through my body
Best KI theme imo.
Killer instinct vs mortal Kombat will be 🔥🔥🔥
awesome
YES! YES! YEEEEEEEESSSSSS!
This is what I've been waiting for!
Thank you so much! I absolutely adore this song! I gave this a like before it even began. Just because I knew it was gonna be good. Especially under your talented wings.
Once again, Thank You!
When ever there is a new theme for killer instinct I can always count on you to have the theme on you channel, amazing job man
Wish Little V would make his Epic Rock version of this song.
this theme is sexy AF
This is REALLY good! Wow.
Chief Thunder was my favorite character in the very first Killer Instinct. I'm glad they finally showed his brother so many sequels later finally I thought eagle was dead originally .guess he survived looks like he'll be fun to play and he is technologically enhanced as well. That's nice Nez Perce First Nation cool
@Mr.Tweezy007 what?..really? Fulgore was a machine though
@Mr.Tweezy007 I see OK because they destroyed the 1st fulgore.ok cool. I did not know that
@Mr.Tweezy007 wow. Ok
This music is adrenaline inducing!
i don´t know why but i fell in love with the danger theme
Thunder is like Joshua Fireseed while Eagle is like Joseph Fireseed!
“Eagle and thunder were instructed to always honor the old ways. And when eagle was a young man, He went to receive a guardian spirit indeed, He wanted to help his people he tried to expose the corruption of Aria to the world... But he was trapped in Aria’s Dreamworld and his spirit was copied. After years of imprisonment something came to set him free.”
1:01 Eagle: “ I have returned.....And now I will restore Balance to the earth!”
amazing when you are in battle
Anyone else listen to these themes at 1:25 for extra adrenaline?
thanks for posting this song, I was definitely waiting for it.
Man, I could listen to the idle part all day...
