Hades - Rage of the Myrmidons 

HECTOOOOOORRRRR

River: oh shit not again

he’s like: mommy i have a destiny to fufill

Has anyone done a cut of the movie Troy with the Hades soundtrack? Feels like a natural fit.

Nah, when he put on his new armour from Hephaestus

With or without the mask

I thought you where talking about the rail at first.....then I got to extreme measures for them

@@thebaseandtriflingcreature174without, duh. Who would wear that joke?

And those guys are more lethal than Asterius will ever be. God I hate them so.

@@cathalmurray6007 I rarely even blow a familiar summon on Asterius when he's by himself. the butterfly ball though, he always gets it.

How tf butterfly ball is hard? It's like the easiest miniboss, except for blodless from tartarus and the barge

@@viktorkudriavtsev830 not saying it's particularly hard, you just need to blow all your firepower on it early on bedore it spawns too many of its buddies, the ones can snipe you from a distance and are notoriously hard to kill with the two blue hearts pact active. by contrast, Asterius can pretty much be dodged forever if you know his moves. Hence why the ball gets summon-bombed instantly, whereas with Asterius it's very optional and best saved for last.

@@viktorkudriavtsev830 It's not that hard, but depending on what weapon you're using, Heat on that run and just how lucky you are with boons, those butterflies can overwhelm you pretty easily if you don't pay attention to them, easiest way to stop that is just wail on the ball right away. IT's not that it's hard, so much as a potential big threat if you don't tackle it right,

I've only fought Extreme Measures Theseus once, I might need a mix that works that back in. There's just so much going through my head during a run that I can't notice the music.

You fiend! He was his friend!

Interesting. I've never been able to defeat Asterius before Theseus. His spear is such a pain for me I have to throw everything I have to get rid of him first before I can deal with the Bullman.

@@spuriouslathos2518 it isn’t too hard to dodge once you get the timing down. Just pay attention to how deep of a pink the reticle on Zag is and Theseus basically becomes nonexistent for the first half of the fight as you get rid of Asterius. Or you could just get some Athena boons

I never take down Asterius first. I just focus on Theseus to get that bastard to shut the hell up while poor Asterius ends up becoming Cast fodder and collateral damage.

I think in the Iliad a Myrmidon was specifically a greek soldier in Achilles's army camp

@@warasdf6716 correct! also myrmidons are the best initial class jobs in any Fire Emblem game, come @ me

It's also the root for "ant". There is a story about Zeus creatting the first pythians (where Achilles is from) soldiers out of ants

@@michaellevesley3578 I'm almost positive you're correct, when referring to Age of Mythology that is (the soldier ants thing)

@@lowestCommonDenominator I can tell who your favorite sacred stones character is..

I agree...

Oh my GODS right ;)

*The numbers, Mason, what do they mean?*

The time signatures kinds express running out of time

That's right. There are also these two other mixed signatures: 0:19 6/4 1:10 7/4 + 6/4 However, the main riff, like you said goes: 0:40 7/8 + 6/8 + 7/8 + 4/8

I just discovered something kinda crazy about the alternating 13 and 11 riff! You know how the opening of the song is in 6/4 (0:19)? Well, 13 + 11 gives you 24/8 right? That reduces to 12/4 which, wouldn't you know it, is just two bars of 6/4. That being said, I would still feel, play and write that particular riff as a 13/8 + 11/8 mixed time sig.

Yours and mine alike mate, suddenly there's this hugely emotional part in the middle of this overbearing theme, plus the titular myrmidons, are likely to be Achilles and Patroclus, which would definitely fit their uneasy relationship

@@williamwareham7027 maybe UwU

Thanks Supergiant for featuring their new album in some weird game

The entire OST has been on Spotify since v1.0 launched , or at least here in the States.

Same. I also like putting on the instrumental version of In The Blood.

They did just release 1.0 tho my dude

@@yungoldman2823 I saw! Already bought it on the switch! Double dip!

I'll never get tired of 13/8.

The main riff actually uses a mixed metre of 13/8 and 11/8. However, the section first played at 1:10 uses 13/4 (7/4 + 6/4).

It plays in some encounters in Elysium! That guitar riff will always get me

It fluctuates alot! It seems to jump around a little but the parts like 0:40 seem to be in 13/8! Pretty cool. The rest of the song is mostly in 6/8 but there's a few transitional 4/4 areas and 2:47 seems to be in 8/8.

I read about a horizontal hemiola and it feels it so I guess not a consistent time

@@iStalkCheese These are the time signatures used for each section of the song. They repeat over and over but it's always the same. 0:19 6/4 0:40 13/8 + 11/8 1:10 7/4 + 6/4 (13/4 if you want) 2:47 4/4

@@sjacpswbs03162005 They're most likely referring to the section at 2:47 which does use a hemiola in the bass line however that section is entirely in 4/4. And yes, you're right, this song uses multiple time signatures: 6/4, 13/8 + 11/8, 6/4 + 7/4 and some 4/4 in the transitions between sections.

There are multiple. Copied from my other comment: 0:19 6/4 0:40 13/8 + 11/8 1:10 7/4 + 6/4 (13/4 if you want, but clunky to write it that way) 2:47 4/4 with a hemiola in the bass line

Nah, probably Demeter.

Yeh Hades vibes to metal lmfaoo

Elysium

Oh, absolutely! The time signature alone gives that feeling, but also some instruments and their chord progression. (At least for the chill half)

@@milescook1297 L-ysium

there's plenty of theremin since the beginning, starting from 00:20

Holy shit yea

One of the songs that could play v Theseus and Asterius.

It has a chance to play anywhere in Elysium, as with the other Elysium songs (I.e. the King and the Bull)

I'm trying to figure that out myself. It sounds like the following: 00:20 - 00:40 6/4 00:40 - 01:39 7/4 for one measure, then 6/4 for another, then repeats 01:39 - 01:59 back to 6/4 01:59 - 02:47 back to alternating 7/4 and 6/4 02:47 - 03:25 now it's in 4/4 03:25 - 03:56 back to 6/4 03:56 - 04:42 back to alternating 7/4 and 6/4 04:42 - 9:17 metal version

@@agouta1011 Wow, it changes way more than I had anticipated, but your analysis does make a lot of sense! Thank you so much, I wouldn't have been able to figure this one out by myself at all!

@@leidensygdom5291 np

@@leidensygdom5291 at 0:40 - 1:39 (my fav part) i think goes like this: 0:40 alternating 13/8 and 11/8 1:10 alternating 7/4 and 6/4 1:31 4/4

@@agouta1011 0:40 is 13/8 + 11/8. 13/8: 12, 12, 123, 12, 12, 12 + 11/8: 12, 12, 123, 12, 12. Then at 1:11, the time signature has actually changed to a much simpler 13/4 which can be counted as 7/4 + 6/4. Other than that, your analysis is correct.

Well, you can always just split them :)

Annokh on Spotify I can’t :p
