Dead Cells - Prisoner's Awakening (Official Soundtrack) 

30 kills, no damage, under 2 mins. I wish...

That's why I don't get angry when I die in this game.

This track is the essence of the game, it makes you want to get back to it, you'll always listen to it in a new run regardless of the route you take.

WE MAKING OUT THE PRISONERS' QUARTERS WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🔥

"There's a failed kingdom out on the sea. Its shores crawl with the undead; helpless victims of a plague left unchecked by the Island's tyrannical king. On a windy day, one can smell the decay and rot wafting from the island, and something... sickly and... earth-y. No one sets foot on the island. The ones who do never return. Yet sailors say that currents guide them towards it, almost as if sucking them in. Those who have gotten close enough to the island to see it reported a horrible stench like no other. More peculiar however is that the island looks near perfect. No crumbling walls nor fallen buildings, and the clocktower in the distance still keeps time. What's more, there are tales of a sole revenant on the island. Every three days, it rises and carves a path of blood through the island. No one knows why it does it, or even if it has a reason. What proof of this do I have? I cannot provide any, other than my own account of seeing this... thing. I was passing by the island, closer than anyone should when I saw It on the forgotten ramparts. Before it everything fell; nothing would block its path. As I watched, it turned to look out over the sea, and noticed me, and... I think I saw it give me the middle finger."

This is such a powerful track. It’s very motivating and captures the essence of hope and determination of not giving up.

This song basically tells me: "YOU CAN DO IT. RUN!"

Some tracks never get old no matter how many times you hear them and this is a prime example of that

If the entire game could have a moral, it says to us "don't ever stop. Die, and retry !". This is the same for real life. Despite difficulties and failures, your get back again and again until you improve yourself to finally reach your accomplishment. This is why I love this song and the game too.

I love how the cover art of the game is badass but the headless in game is goofy Edit: yo there is spoilers in my replys for some reason careful

it weird not hearing the constant EEUAGH from the enemies and sword swinging sounds when listening to this.

0:58 When you start to feel like a badass

The "oh" and "ahhh" gives such a powerful feeling when playing the game ... Truly a masterpiece

New Player: This game is so dang hard! I can't win! Dead Cells OST: You can do it! I believe in you! New Player: You know what? You're right! Also New Player: * mistimes parry *

Today, I've tried this awesome game, and I was expected to be frustrated by lots of restarts, but instead, when this theme sounds, I only can think "It's time to hunt!" It's the perfect music for the game, great job!

0:42 - That guitar riff is so badass. It's the simple backing track of perilous adventure and not giving up.

I never have been a fan of Metroidvania-esque games. But Dead Cells? Dead Cells is something else. Dead Cells will take hundreds-if not thousands of my hours left on this Earth.

Hop on PC > Deadcells Open your laptop > Deadcells Pull up your phone > Deadcells Turn on your Ipad > Deadcells Boot up your Nintendo Switch > Deadcells Power up your Playstation > Deadcells Start up your Xbox > Deadcells

Devs: Hey new player! Do you like this music??? New player: OF COURSE IS AMAZING! WHY? Devs: Because you'll listen it a lot...

This song is why i'm not too frustrated when dying

Almost nobody is talking about the Spanish tunes of that guitar! That's such masterful composition!

The best part about this theme, is that this is the kind of theme you hear during the end of a game. this is the smooth, calming-yet-invigorating final track. the drums, the almost windy-valley essence to the song, the flowing vocal sounds, the guitar...it all gives the picture of "this is it, your final stretch. dont give up, you're almost there.." all of that...yet this is the first damn zone in the game.

This song is life fuel

Huh. Just realized that the sword he’s holding is the frantic sword.

Imagine having a Dead Cells animated series with this ost as the intro theme…😌🥹

I don't know if you're the composer of this song, but it's a great song. I think you contributed a lot to this game. Whenever I faced a miserable death in the game, I listened to this song and got motivated again. It's a great and lovely song. Thank you. - A Korean gamer.

The song to rule them all

deadcell music makes you feel like you were dancing on top of the tower while dodging attack

A tip for beginners: Learn to parry. Parrying is extremely important. Of course, every attack can be dodge rolled through, but parrying will make your life much easier. On the first few difficulty settings, you can get by without this skill, but the amount of enemies on higher difficulties does make dodge rolling a little less viable.

I don't think this track is supposed to give a "don't give up! you can do it!" vibe. I'm getting more of a "you know what you have to do, so go do it already" vibe. Very motivational in a far different way than the corniness of the former.

This theme plays in my head all the day

I just played this game for the firs ttime a few months ago and this track already gives me nostalgia.

WE MAKING IT TO THE PREMONADE WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Epic part button: 0:56

This has quickly become my favorite track in the game. Yes, it's because I die a lot and therefore get to hear it the most, but hey, death ain't so bad when you get treated to this music afterward.

In the social hierarchy of the island, there are the dogs, the rats, and just below them, the prisoners.

When you try to speed run through prison so you can open timer door but the game say no and slap you with this banger

ooh damn, it hasn't even been much since i started the game but this already feels nostalgic makes me remember when i thought archers were a threat

Video Game's musics still don't get recognized as they deserve

Everytime when i die because of the Hand of the King this Music keeps me up to go on and try again EDIT:Yeah, i finally got him dead.

When you get those 30 No Hit Kills and get to the next area under 2 minutes... God it feels so good

An amazing combination of energetic and fast rhythm, with calmness, regularity and concentration.

0:43

Incredibly, I listened this track/died a hundred times, and I didn't grow tired of listening it.

That's music say "Don't give up, the end is so soon!"

3:12 is hauntingly beautiful. And in total a great track. Many AA/AAA-titles can't hold a candle to it.

Me: "Oh alright, time to call it in for the day" This track: "cmon...one more..." This track: "2:15" Me: "Lets go...*kicks door in*"

ПАПИЧ

Really wished I could have avenged the female knight that died

Величайший оценил

Game: Do it in under 2 minutes. Me: Bu- Game DO IT! Me: The music though...

Кто от Впопича?

This has some serious Bloodlines from Castlevania vibes all over it. Which makes perfect sense.

that song make you feel like stuck in an endless loop of pain, war and meaninglessness, you watch it all go away and you're always there

Ngl I downloaded dead cells yesterday and I’m already hooked it’s so fire

This song is the reason i am addicted to this game

Game: “Welcome to your first 100th journey still” Me: Hell yeah lets go!!! This soundtrack is the most underrated within the game... but its the one that makes you feel like you are beginning a great journey even though its not your first play...

absolute masterpiece.

best part starts form here 1:04

This is one of the my favourite soundtracks!

2:01 best part!!!

-"Damn that fucking curse! No more!" ... -"Alright, one more run"

It’s nice but usually I only hear the first 1:40 or so in game

This will be your best friend soundtrack. the amount of sheer number when u will lisen this will make ur favorite

My favorite track of the game, and it's the first one you really listen to...

It's been 3 years i started play this game, never got bored with this track.

Now im motivated, to try again..

Кто от величайшего

I OST hop just to find the best video game music. I've listened to more OST's than I've played games. This is the first time I'm gonna play a game cuz of a song. I MUST know what the hell is happening to justify this amazing song.

Изи изи изи, для кого? Для Пап-изи

Папуас одобряет

Amazing game with awesome soundtrack. Congrats!

green and shield zombies don't like this soundtrack

top 1 saddest dead cells moment 1# when you get the broadsword

I play tis game on my smartphone 😍ts musics makes me feel good!

Я один сюда пришел именно за этим саундтреком?)))

You can feel the soundtrack telling you to try again

somebody extend it for 30 minutes?

Me: I can't get past Prison Dead Cells:"Play Prisoner's Awakening" Me:"Kill all enemies with the sword and parry shield hits without taking damage"

I FREAKING LOVE IT! So motivating! A great OST for a great game! Best OST in the GAME. (in my opinion. OBVIOUSLY.) No doubt!

I can hear sword slices and bow shots on the background.

"In the social hierarchy of the island... actually, you probably already know the rest of this by now"

So relaxing I love it

Where every journey begins.. After the raging of the last one…

WE MAKING IT TO THE ASTRO LAB WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

*When I hear this I imagine a character in a desertic Arabic city running through the roofs in search for his Killing target, while being chased by assassin's*

This game it took me a soild 4 years with a break did my first run and BOOM Beat the right hand of the king

Кто после папани? 😏😏😏

Don't stop (The collector "dead cells")

Hello Yoan, I'm a big fan of Dead Cells and his soundtrack and yesterday I tried to upload a gameplay video of it (cause of the new update) and RU-vid notified me that YOUR song "Prisoner's Awakening" was being tagged as DMCA by Sony and other enterprises but it said it was called "Don't U...." and if they would play ads on the video all the revenue would go to those enterprises. I ended by not uploading the video. I just wanted to tell you this issue cause I think that if someone should get money from ads should be you and not 3rd party enterprises saying that the music is theirs. Maybe it was a one-of mistake of the program they use or someone has really plagiated your song. Sorry for posting this here but I didn't find any other way to tell you. (I don't have twitter)

This was the OG song before the bad seed DLC

Me who somehow manages to perfectly parry the clocktower boss and beat them on my first try

I am remembering my rusty sword and wooden shield days.💪

Mad respect for this game..... I listen to the soundtrack when not playing... That says something. Summon the smooth killer, ready for anything, all with the drums and piano... invincible... (until you miss a beat).. Also, mad respect for anyone who's fingers and eyes have guided our poor miserable blob of a hero to impossible victory.

they nailed this one deff
