Game Composer Hears GODSKIN APOSTLES for the First Time - Elden Ring 

Yea I could tell with your reactions. Definitely the most impressed I’ve seen you feel listening to a soulsborne track

I HIGHLY recommend God Devouring Serpent, both phases. That track is extremely good.

Yes, of course! This track looks very epic and interesting. And of course, I saw the reaction of Godrick's theme. I loved the track too, but not the boss 🤣

This track actually reminded me of one of my favorite ds3 soundtracks which was pontiff sulyvahn's. Both do also have some level of religion in their characters, so I recommend that one if you liked this one!

@@hahahahahaha1946 It's that track nice? I never listened. From DS3 I just listened Dragonslayer, Abyss Watchers and Soul of Cinder

Definitely some sick puppies. The distinctive mark of a godskin noble besides all the soft supple fat he’s wearing is the seven faces apron over his robe.

So if I understand you correctly... A title "GODSKIN apostle" is a LITERAL one? This face on the cape of Leatherface's armor is literally a face of one of gods? Oh... Oh, my...

@@nolanstrife7350 As the lore goes, Godwyn has been the FIRST demigod to have lost his life to the black knife assassins. Who knows how many have been felled since? Some of such trophies are worn by these guys here, and there are quite a few in the whole game so... I'd just settle with many. Take the immortality away from a God and you have a mostly common human in a Souls environment, since anybody can, apparently, learn magic and miracles, provided they have the necessary prerequisites (levels).

IF there is DLC for Elden ring ,there is gonna be expanding area for this guys you can clearly see the Godskin queen with good old COILED SWORD in Elden ring posters, I really fascinated about their lore ,sound track, boss design .if you stumbled upon those windmill area, this amazing music kicks in with godskin apostle's elastic boss move sets ,you know what I am talking about .surely one my great experience besides mainstory in elden ring

Somebody already pointed out, that the Godskin Apostels being apostels implies some sort of hierarchy. Therefore they probably have or had a leader. Hopefully you can fight him in a DLC :)

This comment is so good. I don't think most people realize how high of an art form video game have become. Maybe a 100 years from now when people look back they'll have more clarity to see this. The best composers, artists, writers, etc living today are making video games.

@@DaviVasc It does feel like there's a stigma around video games as an art form, possibly due to how young the art form is. I could imagine that when cavemen started painting antelopes on the cave walls, the others probably scoffed and thought it was a waste of time. I worry about games. Take Ocarina of Time, for instance. Often considered to be one of the best games of all time, but how are you going to play it? The most accessible version is the 3DS remaster, so all you have to do is buy a $200 3ds and a $20 game. What if you want to experience the original art? That's $130 dollars, and have fun playing a 24 y/o game. 3d polygons, filled with old clunky features that were in their infancy. And good luck trying to emulate the game with how protective Nintendo is with their properties. Compare this to music, were you could look up pretty much any song ever on youtube, or just google a painting and go to images, or you could download a pdf of a critically acclaimed book. It seems as if in video games there's a much higher opportunity for business men to exploit the system, to oversaturate the market with remakes, remasters, and re-releases, and abuse the games financially. Games like Elden Ring are certainly fighting an uphill battle when publishers like Activision and EA are wringing every dollar out of their properties like Call of Duty 21 and Fifa 37, with there 60 dollar price tag, paid downloadable content and micro transactions. Hopefully though, 100 years from now, video games will be more accessible, and our society as a whole will look back on games and franchises like Dark Souls, Legend of Zelda, and Red Dead Redemption, and see it in a similar light to the Ode to Joy or the Romeo and Juliet of our time. Maybe we've yet to get there, and if that's the case, I can't wait to see the games that take us there.

Only on the Japanese side of the video game industry. You won't hear this kind of music outside of Japan game industry, other than passion projects that aren't from Western AAA game companies..

@@YukitoOnline yeah we’re too busy making Doom music, the undertale ost, halo’s ost, stardew valley, etc. just be glad we live in an era that is trying new types of music

@@aquafreesh9219 Hence why I said: *"other than passion projects that aren't from Western AAA game companies"*

Horah loux is my favorite it just👌

Mohg Lord of Blood and Godfrey’s are def my top

They’re very good… but I like yuka kitamura songs the most.

Radahn is personally my favourite track

Blood for the blood Lord, Mogh for the Moghwin

It's insane how they keep one upping themselves with the music with each game

+

@@DaviVasc They keep one-upping themselves with EVERYTHING. Gameplay, mechanics, lore, music, visuals. FromSoftware has only been getting better.

To be fair, I've heard that the fight where you fought two was a definitive low point.

@@thesnatcher3616 It wasn't. It was just difficult. But that's about it. It was a pain in the ass but not bullshit you know?

100% second-ing this. Godskin apostles and Starscourge Radahn are my 2 fav tracks in elden ring.

It sounds so different from any other track they've done it sounds very military with the deep brass, and marching drums

Radahn's theme may not be one of my favorites, but it's really worth analyzing...

+1

The second phase sounds so tragic, I genuinely teared up hearing it the first time. Especially when it only has the choir and the low drums.

Beautifully spoken, and gave me chills. Love your comment

The Godskins are the ultimate imposters.

I really like that the World is for the most part (not caelid) quite a nice place actually. Like it has a functioning ecosystem for once, with some wild Animals and healthy forests. Not just some crumbling hellhole through and through.

@@janekbrat6951 Lol Caelid

@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx WE DON’T TALK ABOUT CAELID

@@janekbrat6951 tbh even Caelid, twisted as it is, has its own ecosystem, twisted as it is. Definite marred by war.

@@dawson3776 marred by melania you mean

yeah I met the two Godskin Apostles, 1st Caelid, 2nd Leyndell, back to back and I knew some funky shit was up

I met the one in Domminula first, and it was very impactful; it didn't feel like he was out of place, it felt like I was out of place. I was somewhere I shouldn't be.

I am addicted to how they used that suspended chord, it's so good.

Oh that’s why the weapon is called the Godskin peeler

i think theyre just busting it down to the theme

I would also like to say that the horn parts in the second phase reflect very well how (in my opinion) they were heroes. Crazy heroes, maybe even antiheroes… but heroes nonetheless. Leading the charges against power mad gods, they did the impossible, and despite their madnesses, I respect them for that. I feel the same way about the Abyss Watchers.

Agree, final music is great

They do show up a ton throughout the game.

I agree

They did. They were children of Gloameyed queen and they almost succeed in replacing Golden Order with their own Order, but their mother was slain and rune of death was sealed which made their god killing flames weaker. Basically they are wondering holy order that became even more brutal after their mother died.

Choirs of discordant glee.

Happy to maniacal.

Flowey be like

I love that piece. It’s my personal favorite bc of the amazing dance-like rhythm

Funny you mention "Bloodborne energy." I haven't finished the game yet (I'm at the Giant's Mountain), but Mogh, Lord of Blood is the only boss so far that's given me the same feeling as Bloodborne bosses, where I start getting nervous when I get close to defeating them, and having after battle jitters.

@@Churi_Venatriss There is one particular boss during Ranni the lunar witches storyline that gave me harder lovecraft aura than even Bloodborne! I dont want spoil you if you havent done it. But its an extremely unsettling boss enemy completed by an otherworldly soundtrack to it

Morgott fights like a sekiro boss while mohg fights like a bloodborne one lol

@@nathanielleack4842 Ah the stars that fell from the cosmos eh?

Most organ we’ve got since Bloodborne, and it sound so gooood

I second this

Yeah, Radagon has by far the best soundtrack in the game, it's so damn good. I think it rivals the other super good soundtracks in the Soulsborne games like Gael or Ludwig for an example.

@@rohan8243 woah woah woah woah, slow down there. It’s very good but I don’t think it’s on those guys level

@@nefarious8278 compared to the other final bosses theme from has made this one in particular is the most epic

@@ceazarsalad1333 I also wouldnt say in particular aswell because of how much a banger soul of cinder’s first phase is. But overall radagon does have the most epic of final boss OST and it fits with more heroic themes of Elden ring in general

Radagons ost hits really hard because it’s a remix of the main theme. As soon as the leitmotif hits and the fight starts you need a change of pants from all the excitement.

That and Radagon for me

I love that heart sinking moment of hearing the music kick up, and you either see the other godskin approach again, or get hit with a black fireball randomly

Lichdragon fortissax 🥰🥰

Bloodborn compositor work on elden ring

Yeah, its one of those kind of tracks

Haha, thanks Kenneth

there’s not really much evidence to say the skin they wear is the skin of gods, more evidence against it than anything tbh. with godwyn being the first god to die and that the godskin are much older than that event, as well as the fact that their black flames power of destined death was taken by maliketh and now does not have the power to kill any gods

@@i-eat-moss godgwin is not a god, he is a demi-god

@@i-eat-moss It's still possible that they wear the skin of gods. Marika wasn't the first god, there were other nations and other gods before the Greater Will started influencing the Lands Between. The ancient dragons had a god (according to the remembrance of Placidusax) , the fire giants had a Fell god who lived among them (according to the incantation "Flame of the Fell god"), and the godskin existed before Marika and her offspring so maybe the godskin killed some of the other gods who existed long ago

@@A123ftw actually fair point

Same

Exactly! Love those ones to death!

That second phase is godlyyyy. Lord of blood is also one of my favorites, and malenia is a classic incredible kitamura track.

godfreys track is incredible, easy top 3 for me

No Ancestor Spirit? Wack

@@baconsir1159 beautiful but somewhat forgettable to me.

@@popkhorne5372 Forgettable? With all the tribal sounds and animal calls? Double wack

Godfrey in 11?
