Chris Christodoulou - Blood on the Dancefloor | DEADBOLT (2016) 

The music is deafening and the strobe lights are blinding. They don't mind however, they died years ago. Their youthful visage is striking with their deathly pale skin. They dance and celebrate endlessly, thinking they cheated death. They haven't cheated death; they are merely in debt. For tonight, I come to collect.

I have forty hours in Deadbolt and I can say, with confidence, that I have listened to the soundtrack more than that. Bravo man, this album is a masterpiece

If they ever make a deadbolt sequel which I hope they do, I hope your in charge on the music again, deadbolt has probably one of my favorite soundtracks of all time, I love this game to bits and wish I could play it for the first time again. You absolutely killed the soundtrack for the game

While playing the game I was wondering if it was the composer who also had the idea to "muffle" the music whenever you're outdoor, which is something I found really cool. Anyway great job on those tracks ;)

this chris guy makes some good music, he should become a professional composer or something

Hotline Miami and Katana Zero have proven you can’t have an indie gorefest game without at least one dance club level 😏

I love how the two synths trade off the melody. It's almost like a dance of death.

RU-vid's auto music playlist for me is 40% Deadbolt, 40% RoR, and 20% SilvaGunner

I comeback to this track so often, you nailed this game's soundtrack like a champ

Seriously, Deadbolt wouldn't be half as good without the soundtrack. It's great to see a vgm artist explore different styles (compared to Risk of Rain) and be that awesome at it.

Fantastic game with fantastic music, especially in the second act. jesus, this soundtrack was so friggin good, i couldnt stop playing even though i was so pissed off bc i didnt beat the level :D

fucking fantastic.

And an un-dead Neo, Morpheus and Trinity enter the dance room.

This is what they hear; an endless music, to which they write forever. They dance in an imitation of life and all its joys, for they feel neither joy nor life. Lascivious and lustful and desperate, they dance. Frantic and sensual, they rub against each other, begging the moving dead to make them warm. It is futile, of course. The dead cannot be warm, no more than ice can flow. Yes. As the ice replicates in chill perfection the day it moved no more, so do these lovely corpses copy what they were in life; cold and beautiful, dreaming of the relief that will not come. Let them be joyous, for on this night I shall collect their sorrow.

"Don't open the door..."

Got into Hopoo Games creations backwards. First RoR2, then RoR and now Deadbolt. Chris. You know how to make music and how to make the listener feel every single feeling at once when they listen to it. Even though I don't like RoR2 ost as much as the previous ones, It's still amazing.

Oh btw, this is your second project with Hopoo, and it happened pretty soon after RoR. Do you think you are going to become a staple in their development team? They make great games, you make great music. You were born for each other. I don't know what Hopoo would be without you, so I totally support you continuing your additions to their projects.

This piece of art is one of the most amazing things i've ever heard in video games.

This song makes me boogie so hard. I literally cannot stop moving from side to side while listening to this. It impedes my gaming. Please remove from the game so I can focus on the level. Sincerely, your biggest fan.

I've been getting into Deadbolt all over again recently and, I don't know if it's just a coincidence, it's there on purpose or I'm just paranoic at this point, but... Is the vibration sound when you buy a weapon or get an achivement also Reaper's theme?

I always wait to 3:00 until I uhh... "get to work" on this level.

Such an awesome song in this great OST. This one actually convinced me to buy the game.

To give credit, I love Deadbolt, but I overlooked it at first. I took a second look at it because I loved Risk of Rain and its soundtrack and I saw the playlist for Deadbolt here. Glad I did because both the game and the music are fantastic.

I walk with briskness and consistency. My speed never wavers, slows, quickens. I move at the medium pace of inevitability. They expect me, but underestimate me with immortal recklessness. My gunfire flashes with the club lights. The night is good to me.

This soundtrack made the game!

I've really enjoyed this game for the week I've been playing it since release, and the soundtrack is definitely half of the experience. I like that you can hear a certain "Reaper" leitmotif throughout the soundtrack, it makes the entire game feel whole. My favourite track is "Heynong Man", I'll never get tired of that one. :}

Out of all the tunes I'm relistening to, this one nails the tone of the gameplay. The periodic scrambling betweeen playing it cool stealth while also those moments where you just have to get the job done.

My favorite vision of Deadbolt 2 ( if there is going to such game )is of a detective in the same reality as the Reaper. Investigeting Ash dealing and murders the Reaper commited. The gameplay would be something like the first game but more about the lore and mystery than just : mission, shot stuff, (maybe )find a tape , listen , get back to shoting stuff, burn ash , shot some other stuff. ( I imagine World of undead difrent from the whole underground, illegal stuff that we witnessed in the Deadbolt )My vision maybe diffrent than the Creators have in mind buti hope we will get more lore in the next ( hoppefully coming ) game. Still great game . Great music. Great job.

Absolutely not disappointed with what's the most replayed moment. All teasing intended

Recently after about two years of playing the Risk of Rain games I decided to finally pick up Deadbolt and man your music as per usual goes above and beyond. It really sets the mood beautifully. Hope you stay working with Hopoo for a long time, their games wouldn't be the same without your banger tracks tbh. Also this track in the soundtrack is probably my fav.

Great work. Loving this soundtrack (and this game)!

i adore your music but i came in here to say greek people have the coolest names ever

Man this song is so good. It's one of those where you stop playing the game for a moment just to enjoy the music.

My favorite by far ! I definitely deeply enjoy your music !

Hey Chris, did you know somebody released a song where they put lyrics onto this absolute banger? I think it really does this piece justice

3:03 Thats how you drop a beat!

I took 1 year of dance classes thanks to this song, thanks Chris

Υπέροχη μουσική! Ωραιος! ;)

I buy 2 days ago DEADBOLT only for listening music. Chris thank you! OST for RoR1/2 and DB are awesome!

4 YEARS LATER AND I AM THRIVING OFF OF THIS TRACK

Dayum. Yeah, I am thinking the Deadbolt soundtrack is going to beat the RoR soundtrack. My favorite song from RoR has got to be Coalescence, and I think so far the two Deadbolt songs you have put on RU-vid are right on par with that. I know what I liked most about Coalescence was the ever-rising intensity, and the calm nature of the music itself (of course until the end where it goes all crazy) which kept me on my toes in that ever-dramatic environment. Deadbolt on the other hand, has a powerful and mighty feel, judging purely by these first two songs. The RoR soundtrack was very emotional to me, and this soundtrack so far is very... Inspirational? I'm not actually sure what word best describes this, but I really like it.

Once again, you made something great. Good job man

Ironically this is a great song to use when running games of Vampire: The Masquerade.

This music I heard at the moment when I saw many vampires and God how do I kill them!?

Finally “beat” the normal mode of this game

Chris, I'm a big fan of your work, this is not actually my account, but I just wanted you to know, if you have any future projects, or music you are making, please forward it to @D.W. I'll do my best to support it, because only a man of great genius could make such great work. -D

Am I the only one who feels the John Wick vibe here?

Like he said this is the song that most matches the game play when ever I think of this game I will always thing this tune.

Dude you crazy-talented. You create magic with your work in music. I pray you continuously find success in life. :D

How am I supposed to focus on killing people with all those sexy vampires dancing about?! Either way, great job on this song, and on the entire OST overall. You got some funky tunes going on, Chris.

The cadaver in the living room fills the floor with crimson blood, stinking of putrefaction and death, i open the door and sit on the porcelain throne as i release the poop into the watery depths below, the corpse quickly rattles to my leg and lies besides me in the toilet, a stench fills the room

I absolutely love this game so much, the music and the intensity I feel as I choose whether I'd go silent and take everyone out one by one or to go and take cover as I go into different rooms becoming the reaper himself. Thanks Chris for making an amazing soundtrack that is Deadbolt and honestly if they ever make a sequel of any kind, I would love to hear what you will have in store for us.

As soon as I will learn to draw properly and and work with animating software, I'll be doing a Deadbolt animation. Damn, this track inspired me so much.

I can not stop listening to it

This soundtrack haunts me. I kept dying so much...

I would love for this to be a 3D game kinda like risk of rain 2

This was my favorite track until I heard the proverbial dust biters. Awesome work :)

God damn it why does indie game alway have good jam like this

I'm not certain this is what I'm supposed to be hearing.... but it is what I am hearing. I hear Death. Death itself creating it's own beat which is then stolen by the dead world in which we walk. Death takes notice, it screams at the deadened bleak world in jealous rage. This world has stolen Death's song, and Death screams at it, but it can not be heard over the theme of living death that surrounds us. The steps we take, the monotonous music, the cold unending struggle for more when all the struggle does is take away from what we already have. We dance to the beat of living death. Every day. It tries to make itself interesting, we try to make it interesting. But it's just the same walk to the same place. I choose to scream at the world with Death, scream that it has stolen Death's song, and that Life should return to life. Death should return to death.

Sounds like this should of been in Devilman Cry Baby.

Me when I get a sledgehammer in the nightclub: Your free trial of being alive has ended, pay with your death and taxes.

so fucking sick, ya did it again chris! my man!

deadbolt miami (real)

Tense.... I love it

This song is like smooth Pellegrino poured into my ears

You, Lenna Raine and Daft Punk are basically carrying me through my school work. Super glad I found you! Your works are staples of my playlists.

Amazing, I don't know how you do it Chris, but your musical work is just AMAZING.

как насчет катки в дедболт и помнишь ли ты ее?

The soundtrack made the game it pulled me back every-time the ambient and feel of the game were all fantastic.

Is it just me or does this song feel like it would fit perfectly in Generation Zero?

You know this song from a video game, I know this from a NSFW Renamon dance animation. We are not the same

this is why great games are made greater

From all I've seen of this game, I'm absolutely certain its a genre I wont enjoy... but every time I hear this song I reconsider that decision. The whole soundtrack is amazing, but this one is particularly magnetic. Its wearing me down, and I dont know if I have enough free time to experiment on another new game ;_; ...For the record, your work was what made me cave and buy Risk of Rain 1 as well.

My favorite track from the game.

Great work on this song

the beginning of this is so plague inc like

Like they say… Chris don’t miss

This track be like: welcome to deadbolt, now, START KILLING

deadbolt 2 when

Night club...too bad guys...let's do this...madness...target down...turn off the light...

Im only here because of Renamon. I never played Deadbolt. If you know, you know

i can feel the groove

What a great track

The abstracted insurance customarily pause because curve amazingly protect notwithstanding a invincible peak. hollow, unwieldy maraca

I can only think of the succubi (idk how 2 spell that) twerking

I see these thumbnail changes......

666 thousand views huh?

This track is hot fire.

There is indeed a dancefloor. Idk if it's tomato paste or not though.

it sounds sooo cool

Your music is filled with strong emotions, i hope you will have a long artistic career Best of luck !

I loved this game as soon as i saw the gamejolt demo of it, this song to me just shows how much controlled chaos you can feel in your enemies as you slowly pick them off

666K views. Neat :D

Oh Shit.I will go play a run...

Will the soundtrack be on ITunes like risk of rain? I love your music! It's just so good! I like stop playing and listen to the music while playing deadbolt

You working on a game's music in any manner is already a big selling point for me.

good old days thank you for this masterpiece.

I want to use this in my dnd sessions if the PC's go sneaking in the night.
