The thing about The Unknown's menu music that really stands out to me is that it is just noise, but the noise is being made by actual instruments its like a really, REALLY crude attempt to make music, and it fits the killer perfectly the way its a crude attempt to look and act human, the music really embodies that perfectly
Ngl this comment made me appreciate the theme more. I listen to the theme before seeing anything from the killer’s themselves. So my “Wtf is this” went from a “This is something else” 😂. Context is everything I suppose.
The fact all instruments are out of tune on purpose makes it even better for an horror game. Doesn't even sound like DBD if it wasn't for the Dies Irae melodie
I love how Unknown tryes to imitate human visuals and sound, yet it seems to have little to no understanding of what is humanity. His theme sounds like twisted imitation too. Cosmic horror stuff here, very difficult genre to do properly. Great job.
You when lore (you don’t have the attention span for all them words) ((Anyone with a single spark of imagination can imagine just how horrific these realms and beings truly are, from the goofy ones, to the supposedly ‘real horror’ ones.))
@@kingmidasxynopyt 90% of the DBD community thinks Michael is the evilest killer when Freddy is in the game (not counting all the "literally exists just to cause harm" killers)
the music is actually pure genius. the chord progressions, the melody, the balance between instruments, it’s almost all like it’s UNKNOWN, just like the killer. absolutely fantastic
Everything in the promo material screamed Skinwalker so to see that the killers essentially just a crooked man that’s being piloted by an alien definitely rubbed some people the wrong way. That doesn’t mean people hate the chapter though. In fact I think most people can agree that it’s already great. I personally love the design of the killer, map, and survivor (which is really rare for me) however I’d be lying if I said I preferred this over a Skinwalker, Wendigo, or even a Fleshgait.
This theme sounds like it could be all the noises the unknown would make, like hum using his axe scraping against a wall, and him screaming also his body twisting and bending, I personally feel like you can hear a mix of all of that for his theme
i haven't read the lore yet but is that thing wearing Dwight's skin ?? If this is confirmed somehow, it's the most terrifying addition of the game by FAR
It's not. But it does resemble his a bit. Im sure if it was ment to be Dwight they would've kept his tie and glasses since that's the most notable part of him.
@@red3340yeah...that won't happen again after THAT incident. Best we'll get is the killer wearing outfits and hair of the survivors but not entirely taking almost all of their physical traits while having its deformed body
Definetly love that the Unknown is like an animal, acting on predatory instincts. It just has a very high intelligence, and while it mimics its victims, its prey wont fall for it. Like a parrot speaking, its obvious its not real.
I don’t know if it’s bad or good. It just sounds like a group of people with instruments putting effort into messing up as much as they can. It definitely fits the killer though
I really wish someone looped the dead by daylight sounding part of this theme, cus as much as it’s fitting for the character. I don’t really want to hear them murdering a cello(?) violin(?) other stringed instrument(?)
I really need the Unlnown to make an attempt to look like Sable and for their to be a lore bit on it kind of like the following: Ms. Ward has been spotted wandering an abandoned mall just on the outskirts of Greenville and has been reunited with her parents. Make it kind of like the Ryker story where nobody actually knows if the kid is Ryker or something else.
I mean I get it, I really do. But I think the first part with the four notes as usual worked best. The twisting IS good and all, but not music I can listen to.
it’s not meant to be a fun theme, the killer is a disembodied horror that disguised as people it kills, using their voice and body as a disguise. the music just resembles the pure horror of the unknown, with the uncanny music matching the uncanny look of him. it’s also as if the chord progressions are UNKNOWN, and are having trouble being found, with that being the same for the unknown himself
@imanotter4781 This theme doesn't resemble anything, I don't care if it sounds 'fun' or not. Anyone with more than 2 brain cells could easily identify and say that this is the worst killer theme in dead by daylight. Nobody, I mean NOBODY wants to listen to this ear bleeding sound while waiting to queue into a match. As long as this theme still exists, It will be the worst killer theme by far. Nobody would choose random sounds over actual music. So if you are that type of person, don't bother replying to me. Your music taste is horrible and is not worth my while.
