Notice how Mark Morgan used a lot of experimental sounds (computer beeps, siren wails, suggestive snippets of radio chatter, elements of Middle Eastern music) to draw your mind to war, desolation, deserts, and technology. The result would be distinctly apocalyptic even to someone unfamiliar with the Fallout franchise. When it came to evoking this universe, I think Morgan pulled out all the stops and wasn't afraid to create something unusual in the process. Contrast that with Inon Zur's soundtracks for Fallouts 3 and New Vegas, which have a very traditional orchestral sound and little texture or distinctness; if you listened to them without prior knowledge, would you be able to tell they were created for an apocalyptic setting?
+Alex Stein I feel like Zur was going for a more "Nature taking over vibe" with ambience. Now that humanity has essentially killed itself, Earth is taking back what once belonged to it. So he wanted to give it a calmer, more natural feel. To me, both are fantastic.
***** I was mostly referring to the ambience in Fallout 3. The only time it really picks up is during combat, or when near military/BoS locations. He did go for a more military vibe in New Vegas, but there I feel like it makes sense considering you're in the middle of a war.
Fallout 3s were pretty bad, accept for the stuff that played in the dungeons and DC. New Vegas's tunes were appropriate to the themes of the desert, and war.
+Alex Stein Pretty much. I still like Zur's soundtrack, it's beautiful and mystifying but it's nowhere near as memorable, odd, and atmospheric as Morgans masterful work on the first 2 Fallout games.

@Führer des Benutzers True, the wasteland is never as "dead" as it appears in Fallout 1, I do personally like the progression of factions like the NCR and Brotherhood, but let's be honest, Fallout's universe is never going to be fully "rebuilt" there's always going to be some kind of reminders of the Great War, whether it's entire abandoned pre-war towns, or simple things like comic books.

When I go through freeside and hear this, it just makes me think of how on that day in 2077 those sirens went off. Imagine all the chaos in those streets and everyone scrambling to get a place in a vault. Kind of chilling and dark. This song is perfect for freeside.
Its funny, because a lot didn't take it seriously due to false alarms. A lot more people would have survived that war if people took it more seriously, and the demand for vaults was higher.
Either you’re a commie, or you have no knowledge about the military nor wars, or both. The siren wasn’t from the CW era, more like WW2, and the Army is just Army, the USMC, or United States Marine Corps, is also called the corps.
@@gcon.807 I'm a socialist with anarchist thinking, if anything. Although, you can't deny that Lenin had some interesting ideas. Kind of became a joke among friends until it wasn't.
Comrade Pingu, I was just pointing out your mistakes, ok? Also, no, Lenin’s ideas blew up in his face causing a country to starve, riot, etc. Russia became an extremely low tier super power after communism/socialism was enacted. Anarchy isn’t a very good way of thinking btw, maybe look more into government to see how each version works before labeling yourself as a low key communist.
@@gcon.807 Socialism isn't necessarily the same as communism or bolchevism. Welfare programs too, can be thought of as a form of socialism. Worker's rights most definitely. To abolish capitalism however, is the end goal for most people who consider them self socialist. Is a socialist inherently anti-capitalist? How would a person get food on their table of it wasn't for the system we have today. A socialist generally dislikes concepts such as imperialism, fascism, extremist nationalism, etc. The end goal of socialism is generally regarded as a more unified world where nations take proper care of their citizens, without putting people in any social class, without discriminating people based on gender, ethnicity, health condition, age, the list goes on. I could go on about anarchism too, but I think you get my point. I could call myself a social democrat, or a libertarian even. It wouldn't make much of a difference in the long run. I vote and try to think happy thoughts like everyone else in this world. 😉
I mean, Metallic Monks fits with Freeside, Freeside is basically a slum with no real leader and a bunch of tiny factions (kings, vag graffs, garrets, followers) that are living in poverty, Metallic Monks is very atmospheric, and hearing it while walking through a destroyed road and seeing children hunting rats to eat them, drug addicts and alcoholics stumbling across the sidewalk, occasional firefights with thugs, and with the noise of people advertising local shops and casinos, is fitting, to me at least.
+Ethan Schenck (EthanRedOtter) All the Fallout games I've played seem to be operating in the mock-heroic mode to various degrees. They take the tropes of classical heroic literature and invert them in all sorts of ways. The ending of the original game is a perfect example.
There will never be another game with as strong of an atmosphere as the interplay and obsidian fallouts. When hearing the soundtrack of fallout 1 I think of the atmosphere of desolation that defines the wastes, abandoned pre-war facilities and ancient technology, lying dormant among the rubble. I really hope that in the future, if we ever get another fallout entry, the art style goes back to what it originally was, defined as quote: "what people in the 90s thought people in the 1950s would think a dystopian 2070 would look like". That is the style that defines a good fallout entry, and while I love fallout 4 its art style is far more reminiscent of 60s retrofuturism which is *not* what makes fallout, well, fallout.
Fantastic use of ambient sounds from Mark Morgan, not many soundtracks can master the use of ambient tracks to really bring a true atmosphere of post-nuclear war, or an apocalyptic wasteland. Mark Morgan was an absolute master of composition and I believe he truly deserves a spot at the top in the Composition Hall of Fame along with Hans Zimmer, Eric Brosius, Jeremy Soule, Alexander Brandon, John Williams, and the other greats of game/movie music composition. The pieces that Morgan have made are true masterpieces in the atmospheric soundtrack criteria.
This track is the stuff of nightmares. I imagine it's what listening to the end of the world sounds like, as you listen on your radio, cowering in your basement.
Incredible work on this track, probably my favorite in the whole series. Makes me very nostalgic for my New Vegas-obsessed teenage years. As I've gotten older and New Vegas has shown it's age more, it's helped me appreciate how much space it leaves for your imagination to fill in that the game cannot show. I like to imagine a night sitting on the balcony of an old sleazy motel room overlooking The Strip, the plaster on the walls peeling, exposed rebar, radiated water dripping from rusted pipes. This song immediately takes me to that place. I'm 25, so the classic Fallouts were just a little before my time, I've tried many times over the years to get into them and always bounced off. Finally this week, I managed to power through and properly get into Fallout 1 - I reached the Brotherhood and it was so cool hearing this song in its original context. So much fantastic sample implementation, blended so it's immaculately cohesive. The old sci-fi computer sounds, chanting, air raid sirens, and what I've always heard as a dog's whimper (though I'm not sure), it just works so well! Contemplative and quiet, yet foreboding and tragic sounding. Hits the perfect emotional and thematic resonance with the classic world of Fallout. Mark Morgan, wherever you are, thank you for this piece of game soundtrack genius!
How NV leaves space for your imagination, perfectly said. I have frequently thought about what it would be like to be a Freesider, taking back alleys and shortcuts to avoid the gangs and junkies, knowing the glamor of the Strip is so close, but likely impossible to reach for the average person. Still, one would daydream about the fabled paradise on the other side of the derelict building you hope to find good scrap inside. You take a wrong turn home due to the distraction, and are caught in a firefight between the King's and NCR. You run home blindly, forgetting where you are. By the time you come to your senses, it's too late. From a dark corner you hear, "Please assume the position," the whirring of a robot's gyros, and then, "Numbness will subside in several minutes." The development may have been somewhat rushed and what we got was far from what they hoped to have in the games totality, but man if it still doesn't create a world that feels real. If you move on to Fallout 2, I recommend getting the restoration mod running for your playthrough. For me, F2 rivals FNV in its ability to suck you into a Post Apocalypse.
It definitely feels like the brotherhood in some way. Computer noises, army marching sounds and drumming, and the overall intimidating atmosphere to it..
You should, starting with the first. If you do, keep in mind that the pace of the older games is *_far_* slower, and that the game expects you to think and interact more than shoot.
Great atmosphere. Such music creates specific feeling of fear, tension and anxiety somewhere underneath my skin and in the area of my stomach... masterpiece
This is one great piece of ambience. The wailing of air raid sirens, the dripping of water and condensation, the drum roll echoing from the past, a hellish, stagnated, burned world mixed with haunting beauty.
+РКГФ - Развлекательный канал Гравити Фолз I'm sorry, but you are wrong, SOS is three short, three long and three short. Someone from NoMutantsAllowed tried to translate both parts but the message is interrupted. Here is what he found : "COASTGUARDCUTTERCAMP" (the second one being scratched).
@@YunoCake It might be part of the message found in one of the Fallout game about Coast Guard detecting Chinese submarines somewhere near the west coast.
i'm glad that this song was used at the sierra madre casino suites in fnv, it really helps make that part of the game one of the most memorable in all of the series for me.
This tune was the only one that gets my attention whenever it comes on, just picturing all of the fear as the sirens would sound. The haunting sound as the end came near.
This makes me imagine the very short moment between the eerily beautiful flash of light as the first bombs detonated, and the wave of crushing pressure, carrying hellfire with it. The world stops during that blindingly bright light. If you knew anything about nuclear weapons, as the citizens of the USA did, you would realize that there is no point in running anymore. The heat creeps up your face, and it gets hotter and hotter until you feel nothing but cold. And then, even before the force of the explosion itself has time to reach you, you will feel nothing. Those sirens are the last cries of countless souls, dirty and pure alike, all snuffed out in a blink of an eye. "War is hell." It isn't. Not without nuclear weapons.
Metallic Monks is probably my favourite game soundtrack. That atmosphere and realising what the Brotherhood are like to meet after experiencing the wasteland in Fallout1... It perfectly echoes the destruction of the Great War and a sense of hope for the future... The pads are hopeful, and the story told by the ambient sounds makes it a perfect contrast. One of the few pieces of music that gives me goosebumps.
Strange. If I heard this theme in Brotherhood of Steel's bunker in Fallout 1, than I felt safe, secure and at home :-). My impression isn't "desolate" but "mysterious".
So dark and melancholic. The sirens and what i used to interpret as a dog yelping out portrays the sadness of nuclear disaster and dystopia so well and causes the darkness of my autistic life to surface.
I know this track isn’t originally from Fallout New Vegas, but every time I listen to it, it brings me back to the first time I entered the New Vegas medical clinic to get those sweet implants from the Followers; for some reason this song just gave me goosebumps as it was playing in the dimly lit surgery room. Amazing soundtrack and Im so happy they reused tracks for FNV!
Bethesda took away the soul of the original series by simplifying its mechanics and atmosphere, catering to the fps and casual crowd for easy money. The mature story and rpg system of New Vegas, mixed with the punishing gameplay of s.t.a.l.k.e.r could have served Fallout well.
i find it ironic and also very sad that fallout was originally a criticism of consumerism, war, and the united states as a whole and bethesda just turned that on its head with focusing more on making sure you can blow shit up in as many ways as you possibly can rather than writing characters that you could realistically have a conversation with and plastering vault boy absolutely everywhere. the fallout IP is a shadow of its former self.
To be fair, Black Isle did also work on Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, arguably one of the worst games ever made. There was a reason they were going bankrupt lol.
This music gives me chills every time I listen to it. Just imagining the chaos of the Great War is horrific. The Sole Survivor and their family running towards Vault 111, Roger Maxson and his soldiers weathering the storm in the bowels of Mariposa, the nuke hitting the West Tek facility, nuclear fire raining upon Washington DC, the list goes on and on.
And Mr House frustrated as hell because he didn't get the platinum chip in time, and Vera Keyes screaming for Sinclair who went into the basement and never came back
The faint thuds as warheads sporadically detonate far above the vault, slight turbulence of shock waves slightly shaking the well constructed subterranean shelter, knowing with each detonation a part of the world you knew is forever erased, and the people trapped outside doomed to an irradiated hell. A few minutes or so after, the initial tapping begins to cease, and as Preston said: ..."silence", the Great War is over, a war without victory, the Old World dead.
@@Yell0wBoo why? Fallout went to shit with 3, NV tried and somewhat managed to reach the quality of the old games, but Beth fucked it all up again with 4, all they're doing today is just raping a corpse of the once good franchise.
@@OCTO358 The problem is that Fallout lost all of it's meaning and went from a series where you observe human interactions and see their reactions to what they did (and are doing) to a game popularized by shitty iconic stuff like the Pip Boy,Vault Boy,Power armor,S.P.E.C.I.A.L and so on,fallout 1 and 2 barely gave a shit about that stuff and they were fantastic games,if you were to take these iconic things from new fallout games it'd turn into a generic open world FPS game
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how high quality this sounds? Great job dude, I had my headphones in and nearly came when the grain faded into the track.
"Fallout was always a silly game" my ass. Fuck bethesda, turned one of the most interesting post apocalyptic game franchises into a fucking funfair ride.
@@titanjakob1056 oh yeah from being raped by Myron to rigging Carlson's kid with explosions so you could assassinate him yes such a whacky and silly game. BTW all the funny stuff that people refer to when talking about how silly Fallout 2 is are easter eggs and have a very low chance of actually appearing as special encounters. Is kid in a fridge an Easter egg? Maybe a whole dlc about silly nuka cola theme park is an Easter egg?
@@sorrynothing. whatever helps ya sleep in bed buddy but I do think it’s kinda funny you conveniently forgot the whole idk sleeping with a mob bosses daughter, cats paw, Hubologists, the vice president, Talking deathclaws, mariposa super mutant boss, watamingos, Also the myron thing only happens when your doing a female low intelligence run which is insanly jokey because it’s a low intelligence run etc Also ever heard the concept of dark/crude humour specifically late 90s-early 2000s? But also some of those quests are side quests and the ones you listed are also side quests as well Anyways Bethesda bad
I wish they played this in the beginning of Fallout 4 after Codsworth tells you to look at the TV, and in Vault 111 as well. That would make the experience feel more like everything's dead and you have to get the hell out.
@@czarnakoza9697 i think that the composer was going for more of a rebuilding theme for the exploration tracks, but still, it doesn't fit Fallout 1's vibe at all, the og game was really bleak and dark and i wouldn't have it any other way
Best soundtrack in the entire series. Its bone chilling to the core. It perfectly captures the world of Fallout, its despair, the cause of world destruction, abuse of advance technology & the never ending sirens to remind you why the world is the way it is. Fallout is brutal and unforgiving. 1, 2 and NV understood this.
3????????????????????? it's the perfect representation of the eerie wasteland. The post apocalyptic metropolitan capital of the old world mixed with brutal, grotesque scenes equals the perfect fallout world. I love fallout 3 so much, I can't believe you didn't include it. I am confident in saying that it has changed my life. Have you played it?
This soundtrack is just perfect for Fallout lore. And first half of track, I feel so Mojave Wasteland... Wastes, empty wastes... Surrounded by mountains, and far away tall towers holding the cables.
One of my absolute favourite soundtracks. There's something ominous about it... a trace of the old world when one hears the nuclear siren and then the realisation that the world is destroyed and there's no hope left... creepy, I love it I haven't played Fallout 1 or 2 myself, but it would be really cool to try. Idk how to get hold of it though...
As the morning sun burns through the dust and haze you take a look around before breaking cover, having spent the night inside the remains of an old truck. The events of the night before play over and over in your mind--before sundown you met a trader from Crimson caravans and tried to negotiate a price for .50 MG ammo, but she wouldn't budge. You grudgingly parted with too many caps for the ammo but you were fresh out. As you mull your loss you can see a group of fiends scavenging in the distance, they surround what's left of the caravan you traded with last night--the pack brahmim and the caravan guards laying motionless on the ground and the caravan owner nowhere in sight, the loot piled neatly nearby. On the road a few hundred yards away from the scene you see a Chryslus Corvega which appears to have intact fuel cells. You fire a few rounds from your silenced .10mm pistol on the ground near the vehicle to get their attention, but not before loading your newly acquired .50MG rounds into the magazine of your Anti-Materiel rifle and sighting it in on the car body. As they all walk towards the Corvega you think to yourself "Looks to be a profitable morning after all..."
It's like a caricature of the modern world. All these shallow problems, like forgetting your wallet, procrastinating on laundry, stressing about being late for work... When none of it even matters. It's all gunna get washed away by some cataclysm someday. Just close your eyes breath deep, and let it all go...
I've only ever played the Bethesda Fallout games. I'm a big fan....but listening to this and other tracks from the first two just makes me wish they'd re-hire Mark Morgan. Don't get me wrong, Inon Zur does an amazing job....but this is just so...unusual, experimental. I love it!
This soundtrack fits fallout much better...the songs of Fallout 4 are good, but they just don't have the same atmosphere of devastation. Out of everything, the nuclear siren is the perfect touch to remind you of what caused the setting of fallout.
I love how this soundtrack is basically diegetic sound and non diegetic sound at the same time. People from the past could literally hear this audio while we the players basically hear the echoes of the past
"Bring all your weapons, bring your convictions, your flag of the Bull, Two-headed Bear....or whatever flag you carry now. And at the Divide, you and I....we'll have an ending to things. This is your road. When you come....you'll walk it alone."
nothing else in the series quite has a tone like fallout 1 and i think this track really shows it. It's this mix of hopelessness along with lots of tech and its just perfect. no other game like fallout 1
Fallout 1 for me is the most focused and tonally the best game in the entire franchise. I can still to this day pick up and play Fallout 1 with ease and be drawn into its deep and dark world.
The first time I heard this was in the goodsprings cave after I cleared all the coyotes. I was staring at the prewar skeletons and I started paying attention to the sirens and the coyote yelps, and I was lost in the ambience. I will never forget how it made me feel.
Back before I played Fallout 1, I heard this in new vegas and absolutely needed to find out what it was. Now after playing Fallout 1, my goal is complete
"A small building surrounded by a chainlink fence is to the north. Menacing guards in heavy armor patrol the area....."

the dripping water, the siren, marching drums, metallic sounds, flutes, oboes, morse code, all that ambience. Perfection
Also the chantting of monks
"Metallic Monks" - Fitting title as I believe *this* is what the creators of Fallout 1 envisioned The Brotherhood of Steel to be.
Exactly, and I agree with them. The Brotherhood were always meant to be an isolationist order of warrior monks, with both a creed and religion to preserve technology for the future and defend the present.

Actually wish they kept to that
@@crimsondynamo615 Absolutely.
I think the new BoS dlc in 76 has you choose if the brotherhood are monks or soldiers of peace.

Fallout does have a theme though
Fallout 1-NV, yeah. 4 and 76 do not permeate the same feeling and atmosphere that this soundtrack radiates. Get it? Radiates? I'll see myself out.

@@gcon.807 The Fallout games use music and retro themes pretty willy-nilly, I don't ask many questions, I just play 🙂
Comrade Pingu, I was just pointing out your mistakes, ok? Also, no, Lenin’s ideas blew up in his face causing a country to starve, riot, etc. Russia became an extremely low tier super power after communism/socialism was enacted. Anarchy isn’t a very good way of thinking btw, maybe look more into government to see how each version works before labeling yourself as a low key communist.
@@gcon.807 Socialism isn't necessarily the same as communism or bolchevism. Welfare programs too, can be thought of as a form of socialism. Worker's rights most definitely. To abolish capitalism however, is the end goal for most people who consider them self socialist.
Is a socialist inherently anti-capitalist? How would a person get food on their table of it wasn't for the system we have today. A socialist generally dislikes concepts such as imperialism, fascism, extremist nationalism, etc.
The end goal of socialism is generally regarded as a more unified world where nations take proper care of their citizens, without putting people in any social class, without discriminating people based on gender, ethnicity, health condition, age, the list goes on.
I could go on about anarchism too, but I think you get my point. I could call myself a social democrat, or a libertarian even. It wouldn't make much of a difference in the long run. I vote and try to think happy thoughts like everyone else in this world. 😉
"Welcome to the brotherhood of steel, may i ask your business in here?"
10 years later and I'm still banging my head on the wall that Obsidian made this play in Freeside and not in the Hidden Valley Bunker. *Freeside.*
You need to put the period inside the asterisks.
I feel you, man. This is the Brotherhood's theme, not fucking Freeside's.
I mean, Metallic Monks fits with Freeside, Freeside is basically a slum with no real leader and a bunch of tiny factions (kings, vag graffs, garrets, followers) that are living in poverty, Metallic Monks is very atmospheric, and hearing it while walking through a destroyed road and seeing children hunting rats to eat them, drug addicts and alcoholics stumbling across the sidewalk, occasional firefights with thugs, and with the noise of people advertising local shops and casinos, is fitting, to me at least.
it's played in the desert too.

The music and writing with the world building was fantastic in the earlier fallouts.
For some reason I find this soundtrack really sad.
It really is.
Josef Orva We need Mark Morgan back for fallout 4
sergio delagracia Well he is making the music for Wasteland 2 wich should come out next month so there's that
Dylan Bourassa wow, you replied on a ten month comment which stated that a certain game will arrive next month saying that it's already out...
Vernon Roche I can see that. There is a certain melancholy to it, and the setting in general.

+Ethan Schenck (EthanRedOtter) All the Fallout games I've played seem to be operating in the mock-heroic mode to various degrees. They take the tropes of classical heroic literature and invert them in all sorts of ways. The ending of the original game is a perfect example.

"Good hunting?"
"Always."
There will never be another game with as strong of an atmosphere as the interplay and obsidian fallouts. When hearing the soundtrack of fallout 1 I think of the atmosphere of desolation that defines the wastes, abandoned pre-war facilities and ancient technology, lying dormant among the rubble.
I really hope that in the future, if we ever get another fallout entry, the art style goes back to what it originally was, defined as quote: "what people in the 90s thought people in the 1950s would think a dystopian 2070 would look like". That is the style that defines a good fallout entry, and while I love fallout 4 its art style is far more reminiscent of 60s retrofuturism which is *not* what makes fallout, well, fallout.
I remember I was in the middle of lake Mead looking for the bomber for the boomers and this cane on. Scared the hell out of me
I remember I was in the Brotherhood of Steel's bunker in Fallout 1. And I felt at home with this music :-).
Fantastic use of ambient sounds from Mark Morgan, not many soundtracks can master the use of ambient tracks to really bring a true atmosphere of post-nuclear war, or an apocalyptic wasteland. Mark Morgan was an absolute master of composition and I believe he truly deserves a spot at the top in the Composition Hall of Fame along with Hans Zimmer, Eric Brosius, Jeremy Soule, Alexander Brandon, John Williams, and the other greats of game/movie music composition. The pieces that Morgan have made are true masterpieces in the atmospheric soundtrack criteria.
This track is the stuff of nightmares. I imagine it's what listening to the end of the world sounds like, as you listen on your radio, cowering in your basement.
Incredible work on this track, probably my favorite in the whole series. Makes me very nostalgic for my New Vegas-obsessed teenage years. As I've gotten older and New Vegas has shown it's age more, it's helped me appreciate how much space it leaves for your imagination to fill in that the game cannot show. I like to imagine a night sitting on the balcony of an old sleazy motel room overlooking The Strip, the plaster on the walls peeling, exposed rebar, radiated water dripping from rusted pipes. This song immediately takes me to that place.
I'm 25, so the classic Fallouts were just a little before my time, I've tried many times over the years to get into them and always bounced off. Finally this week, I managed to power through and properly get into Fallout 1 - I reached the Brotherhood and it was so cool hearing this song in its original context.
So much fantastic sample implementation, blended so it's immaculately cohesive. The old sci-fi computer sounds, chanting, air raid sirens, and what I've always heard as a dog's whimper (though I'm not sure), it just works so well! Contemplative and quiet, yet foreboding and tragic sounding. Hits the perfect emotional and thematic resonance with the classic world of Fallout. Mark Morgan, wherever you are, thank you for this piece of game soundtrack genius!
How NV leaves space for your imagination, perfectly said. I have frequently thought about what it would be like to be a Freesider, taking back alleys and shortcuts to avoid the gangs and junkies, knowing the glamor of the Strip is so close, but likely impossible to reach for the average person. Still, one would daydream about the fabled paradise on the other side of the derelict building you hope to find good scrap inside. You take a wrong turn home due to the distraction, and are caught in a firefight between the King's and NCR. You run home blindly, forgetting where you are. By the time you come to your senses, it's too late. From a dark corner you hear, "Please assume the position," the whirring of a robot's gyros, and then, "Numbness will subside in several minutes."
The development may have been somewhat rushed and what we got was far from what they hoped to have in the games totality, but man if it still doesn't create a world that feels real. If you move on to Fallout 2, I recommend getting the restoration mod running for your playthrough. For me, F2 rivals FNV in its ability to suck you into a Post Apocalypse.
It definitely feels like the brotherhood in some way. Computer noises, army marching sounds and drumming, and the overall intimidating atmosphere to it..
this sound track is masterpiece mark morgan is legend just hope one day come back to do fallout love his work

Never played the old fallout games, but this gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it.
You should, starting with the first. If you do, keep in mind that the pace of the older games is *_far_* slower, and that the game expects you to think and interact more than shoot.
theyre like 5 bucks for both games on steam and take 5 minutes to download trust me you wont regret it
You've probably played them by now, but in case you didn't, they ended up being my favorite from the series, especially the 1st one. Defo recommend.
i heard this in New Vegas and got chills
did you play them yet
Sneaking around Zion shooting white legs with this music playing. Amazing.

Џон Доу oh god im really sorry :( didnt meant to hurt you

Such an eerie, haunting piece of music.
Great atmosphere. Such music creates specific feeling of fear, tension and anxiety somewhere underneath my skin and in the area of my stomach... masterpiece
This is one great piece of ambience. The wailing of air raid sirens, the dripping of water and condensation, the drum roll echoing from the past, a hellish, stagnated, burned world mixed with haunting beauty.

@@YunoCake It might be part of the message found in one of the Fallout game about Coast Guard detecting Chinese submarines somewhere near the west coast.
Why is this so damn beautiful?
air raid siren mixed with monk chants is absolutely kino
i'm glad that this song was used at the sierra madre casino suites in fnv, it really helps make that part of the game one of the most memorable in all of the series for me.
This tune was the only one that gets my attention whenever it comes on, just picturing all of the fear as the sirens would sound. The haunting sound as the end came near.
This makes me imagine the very short moment between the eerily beautiful flash of light as the first bombs detonated, and the wave of crushing pressure, carrying hellfire with it.
The world stops during that blindingly bright light. If you knew anything about nuclear weapons, as the citizens of the USA did, you would realize that there is no point in running anymore. The heat creeps up your face, and it gets hotter and hotter until you feel nothing but cold. And then, even before the force of the explosion itself has time to reach you, you will feel nothing. Those sirens are the last cries of countless souls, dirty and pure alike, all snuffed out in a blink of an eye.
"War is hell."
It isn't.
Not without nuclear weapons.
Sleep in death
this is so calm and not calm at the same time
My favorite background sound in FNV , that incorporation of sirens is simply awesome
This song is what fallout needs to return to.
Metallic Monks is probably my favourite game soundtrack. That atmosphere and realising what the Brotherhood are like to meet after experiencing the wasteland in Fallout1... It perfectly echoes the destruction of the Great War and a sense of hope for the future... The pads are hopeful, and the story told by the ambient sounds makes it a perfect contrast.
One of the few pieces of music that gives me goosebumps.
It reminds me of Captain Maxon rebellion at mariposa
And the Brotherhood was never the same again after this game
This music is the definition of the word "desolate"
Strange. If I heard this theme in Brotherhood of Steel's bunker in Fallout 1, than I felt safe, secure and at home :-). My impression isn't "desolate" but "mysterious".
So serene and reassuring. Idk why, but listening to this track makes me feel like I'm back in the comforts of my home after a long journey
So dark and melancholic. The sirens and what i used to interpret as a dog yelping out portrays the sadness of nuclear disaster and dystopia so well and causes the darkness of my autistic life to surface.
I know this track isn’t originally from Fallout New Vegas, but every time I listen to it, it brings me back to the first time I entered the New Vegas medical clinic to get those sweet implants from the Followers; for some reason this song just gave me goosebumps as it was playing in the dimly lit surgery room. Amazing soundtrack and Im so happy they reused tracks for FNV!

This was Fallout... I just - I... I just don't know what Bethesda did to it, but I will never forget you, Black Isle.
Bethesda took away the soul of the original series by simplifying its mechanics and atmosphere, catering to the fps and casual crowd for easy money. The mature story and rpg system of New Vegas, mixed with the punishing gameplay of s.t.a.l.k.e.r could have served Fallout well.
i find it ironic and also very sad that fallout was originally a criticism of consumerism, war, and the united states as a whole and bethesda just turned that on its head with focusing more on making sure you can blow shit up in as many ways as you possibly can rather than writing characters that you could realistically have a conversation with and plastering vault boy absolutely everywhere. the fallout IP is a shadow of its former self.
To be fair, Black Isle did also work on Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, arguably one of the worst games ever made. There was a reason they were going bankrupt lol.
This music gives me chills every time I listen to it. Just imagining the chaos of the Great War is horrific. The Sole Survivor and their family running towards Vault 111, Roger Maxson and his soldiers weathering the storm in the bowels of Mariposa, the nuke hitting the West Tek facility, nuclear fire raining upon Washington DC, the list goes on and on.
And then silence, world wide silence. It's incredible that even after that, the worst of humanity is yet to arise.
And Mr House frustrated as hell because he didn't get the platinum chip in time, and Vera Keyes screaming for Sinclair who went into the basement and never came back
@Candorous Individual Exactly, Fucking normies.
I have gotten you to the nice number
The faint thuds as warheads sporadically detonate far above the vault, slight turbulence of shock waves slightly shaking the well constructed subterranean shelter, knowing with each detonation a part of the world you knew is forever erased, and the people trapped outside doomed to an irradiated hell. A few minutes or so after, the initial tapping begins to cease, and as Preston said: ..."silence", the Great War is over, a war without victory, the Old World dead.
...Oh Fallout, what has become of you?

Best soundtrack in the entire series. Its bone chilling to the core. It perfectly captures the world of Fallout, its despair, the cause of world destruction, abuse of advance technology & the never ending sirens to remind you why the world is the way it is. Fallout is brutal and unforgiving. 1, 2 and NV understood this.
3????????????????????? it's the perfect representation of the eerie wasteland. The post apocalyptic metropolitan capital of the old world mixed with brutal, grotesque scenes equals the perfect fallout world. I love fallout 3 so much, I can't believe you didn't include it. I am confident in saying that it has changed my life. Have you played it?
One of the most haunting pieces of music I've ever heard.
This soundtrack is just perfect for Fallout lore. And first half of track, I feel so Mojave Wasteland... Wastes, empty wastes... Surrounded by mountains, and far away tall towers holding the cables.
One of my absolute favourite soundtracks. There's something ominous about it... a trace of the old world when one hears the nuclear siren and then the realisation that the world is destroyed and there's no hope left... creepy, I love it
I haven't played Fallout 1 or 2 myself, but it would be really cool to try. Idk how to get hold of it though...
you can easily get fallout 1 or 2 off of steam or Bethesda launcher
As the morning sun burns through the dust and haze you take a look around before breaking cover, having spent the night inside the remains of an old truck. The events of the night before play over and over in your mind--before sundown you met a trader from Crimson caravans and tried to negotiate a price for .50 MG ammo, but she wouldn't budge. You grudgingly parted with too many caps for the ammo but you were fresh out. As you mull your loss you can see a group of fiends scavenging in the distance, they surround what's left of the caravan you traded with last night--the pack brahmim and the caravan guards laying motionless on the ground and the caravan owner nowhere in sight, the loot piled neatly nearby. On the road a few hundred yards away from the scene you see a Chryslus Corvega which appears to have intact fuel cells. You fire a few rounds from your silenced .10mm pistol on the ground near the vehicle to get their attention, but not before loading your newly acquired .50MG rounds into the magazine of your Anti-Materiel rifle and sighting it in on the car body. As they all walk towards the Corvega you think to yourself "Looks to be a profitable morning after all..."
You're trying too hard
+Smith Jones +Kamikrazee I doubt that, it looks like something from Fallout's predecessor Wasteland!

This track by Mark Morgan gives a peaceful feeling of hopelessness.
It's like a caricature of the modern world. All these shallow problems, like forgetting your wallet, procrastinating on laundry, stressing about being late for work... When none of it even matters. It's all gunna get washed away by some cataclysm someday. Just close your eyes breath deep, and let it all go...
I've only ever played the Bethesda Fallout games. I'm a big fan....but listening to this and other tracks from the first two just makes me wish they'd re-hire Mark Morgan. Don't get me wrong, Inon Zur does an amazing job....but this is just so...unusual, experimental. I love it!
This soundtrack fits fallout much better...the songs of Fallout 4 are good, but they just don't have the same atmosphere of devastation. Out of everything, the nuclear siren is the perfect touch to remind you of what caused the setting of fallout.
I hope this makes it way into the fallout series, a season ending with this would give me goosebumps
I love how this soundtrack is basically diegetic sound and non diegetic sound at the same time. People from the past could literally hear this audio while we the players basically hear the echoes of the past
"Bring all your weapons, bring your convictions, your flag of the Bull, Two-headed Bear....or whatever flag you carry now. And at the Divide, you and I....we'll have an ending to things. This is your road. When you come....you'll walk it alone."
Who else would travel the Mojave Desert alone and hear this play? It adds so much
It was cool to hear the nods to this track in the Brotherhood theme for the Amazon show. Ramin Djawadi did his homework, that's for sure.
Metallic monks played in the TV show ?
If that happened, wich episode?
and wich time?
Not exactly this but you can hear an adapted version in the series whenever scenes with BOS comes up@@imblark
Or built upon version Ig Idk
I love the bit when the snare drums get louder and louder. really gives off a sense of a dead and haunted landscape.
nothing else in the series quite has a tone like fallout 1 and i think this track really shows it. It's this mix of hopelessness along with lots of tech and its just perfect. no other game like fallout 1
Fallout 1 for me is the most focused and tonally the best game in the entire franchise.
I can still to this day pick up and play Fallout 1 with ease and be drawn into its deep and dark world.
couldn't agree more

I still need to play a game in the series. Crap doesn’t go this far without a kind of legacy the fallout franchise has.
I like how this song is also heard in NV and (probably) other games.
Hearing this in Big MT. Was terrified of this OST lol so I had the radio turned on
I'm convinced this is the best original song for any Fallout game.
The first time I heard this was in the goodsprings cave after I cleared all the coyotes. I was staring at the prewar skeletons and I started paying attention to the sirens and the coyote yelps, and I was lost in the ambience. I will never forget how it made me feel.
It's a shame we can't hear it while entering Hidden Valley

It plays on New Vegas too. Listening to this track while exploring Zion and reading the Survivalist terminal entries is just a unique feeling.
Back before I played Fallout 1, I heard this in new vegas and absolutely needed to find out what it was. Now after playing Fallout 1, my goal is complete
Early 2010s were something else as a kid when this came out
