LudoWic - CHEMICAL BREW (Katana ZERO DLC) 

SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/track/2S0cQ3vi22nR8yB7qUAW0x?si=905e6431a0a7453f

Imagine a game so good that the soundtrack alone is hype enough for dlc rollout

This game would just not be the same experience without yours and Bill Kiley's amazing musical input. Thanks for such an amazing OST!

KatanaZero doesn´t feel like a product, but more like an artwork. Every single piece of this game has a purpose, it isn´t there just because thats what the game needs to be sold. This soundtrack is already amazing and I can´t wait to play this dLc!

I love how ludowic always evolves the beat, its AMAZING

The build-up is insane, you capture this game's atmosphere like a king. Ludowic never deceives, well done man.

The dev for Katana Zero made an absolutely stellar move by getting LudoWic as a song writer. This is definitely a new fav along with breath of a serpent! I can’t wait to hear more!

Katana ZERO is a compelling game on its own, but the soundtrack is responsible for the atmosphere that all the other parts have to breathe in. I love the gameplay, the characters, the story, but it’s the soundtrack that sucks me back into this beautifully uneasy world you’ve all created. Somehow, this little game with its relatively short runtime and (albeit beautiful) pixel art graphics keeps pulling me back in ways that my most cherished games fail to do. The moment I hear Full Confession and I start thinking about this world again, it’s just unreal. Dude, I’m just in awe. I almost feel bad for you having to experience this from the critical perspective of a creator, since I honestly think that Katana ZERO would rank highly against all other experiences in my life, it’s just like nothing else. If you’re ever doubting yourself (which, given the overwhelming praise in this comment section, I’d be surprised if you even could) just know that you’re a genius and you’ve done what every artist aspires to do in their life. I don’t wanna get too sappy about videogames but this one got away from me…

Super hyped to see where this gets used in the DLC. This background might be a boss arena

Probably the theme of the chronos factory or something like that, and that background is perfect for a zero vs fifteen fight

The best thing about a new Katana Zero Dlc: New Awesome Tracks! LET'S GO!

Okay this is cruel. I am already hyped for the new dlc but there are no news on it and you come here showing absolutely awesome new tracks... Thank you

I listened to this track right after the Katana ZERO's fifth anniversary. I finished the game one year ago, and i LOVED EVERY SECONDS OF IT. Same for your music, Ludowic ! I knew about the DLC stuff going on and i saw multiple times your music (for the dlc) in my youtube recommandations. Every time i saw it i was like "nah, i will wait the release to listen to it in real time" But yeah, it was kinda painful to wait so i decided to listen to it ! It's wonderful. The tension, the buildup, the pace... It reminds me a lot of Breath of a serpent. Which is one of my favorite track from the game. When i listen to it, i just want to see more of your work on the soundtrack. So i can walk in the street while thinking about this crazy adventure with your songs... Such a cool piece ❤

I thought once they released the soundtrack, the release was close. I've never been so wrong

Can’t wait for the dlc

It’s March 2023 now. And i still waiting and waiting and hoping this DLC will come out soon. I finish the game over and over for more than 30 times now. I don’t think i can wait anymore.

i like to think this is the equivalent of the Bunker levels for fifteen/whatever character we'll be playing during this part, given the buildup seems pretty similar to how Delusive Bunker sounds. thanks for making such a great OST, Ludowic!

I love the style of this song, how it gets more chaotic and staggered as it goes on, like shifting tides getting more and more unsettled. It really captivates the feeling of "I'm running out of time" that Zero and the other NULLs are dealing with

LETS GO BOYS, WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO THE RELEASE OF THE DLC

Sensing a boss fight with The Dragon on the horizon with this one can’t wait 🖤

Даже слишком хорошо)(и всё ещё только начинается))

This still hypes me to this day. You perfectly captured the full essence of Katana Zero somehow. A glimmer of hope in a tragic and cruel world with the heaviness of killing. You’re so good at this!

the similarity of the sounds used for "breath of a serpent", the broken dragon statue, and the sound of a ticking clock in the beat, plus we know that fifteen is suffering withdrawal (as in he's running out of time); i can't help but feel like this is the soundtrack of gamma fifteen's death. i do hope we have at least one more mission playing him in the DLC.

Didn't know about dlc. But I"m glad, not only gameplay is cool but it also has really good music and feast for eyes for aesthetic.

When people dont skip into the middle of the song, you know its good

This track is fucking incredible.

LudoWic - это тот самый случай, когда фраза "Как же он чувствует" звучит не в мемном контексте. Работа супер, ещё сильнее жду выхода.

this game really is an art piece. And it deserves no other musician than ludowic. You are literally the perfect person for this game.

I cant name the type of feeling this gives me but its beatifull and very impresive

You simply don't miss Sir. This is incredible

I can see it now... ohhh i'm so ready.

LudoWic воистину гений,писать такую хорошую музыку которая все время прослушивания будет держать тебя в непонятных чувствах,действительно нужно иметь особый талант!

I bet this'll sound insane. But I'm holding off on listening to this till the DLC!! Can't wait!!!

Whole song is progressively getting better. Please blast out this beauty when you guys burry me. I would like to hear this song one last time even I don't have consciousness.

Favorite track so far. I couldn't imagine katana zero without ludowic music.

The fact that he keeps giving hearts makes this guy a god.

Это звучит замечательно! Каждый день переслушиааю треки из игры, а тут еще один! Без сомнений, ludowic гений!

Welp, days officially made 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Ive never heard of Katana Zero until I stumbled upon this banger, this song slaps, gonna buy the game!

It's legitimately wholesome seeing all the praise for Ludowic in the comments over months, all earned I should say, for a lot of people music "can" be a supplemental experience, the mark of the best music is when it becomes fundamental to the experience, which is what is achieved throughout the entire Katana Zero Ost. You deserve all the praise for the undoubtedly countless sleepless nights spent perfecting your passion Ludo.

SOLID 10 OUT OF 5 i cant imagine Katana Zero without your music

Lets goooooooo

When I started hearing this soundtrack on RU-vid music, I didn't realize this will be for the dlc if katana zero. Which makes me very excited for it. Just by hearing the soundtrack my mind goes completely focused

Is coming... I can feel it in my bones.

the insane part about the whole soundtrack is how you immediately go slicing people around, dodging bullets, and sometimes even launch the game, it really captures the vibe like nothing else (seriously though you and Bill are such big inspirations, I can't compare you two to anyone out there, keep it up! very excited for the new stuff :))

Вы с Биллом делаете саундтрек , полностью передающий атмосферу игры ! Ваши композиции хочется слушать даже после прохождения игры . Спасибо вам за то , что делаете ОСТ к этой игре !

BROOO THE WAY WIC EVOLVES HIS MUSIC BEATS ITS JUST PERFECT BY A 100000% RATE OMGGGGGGG

This is the best possible way i could have found out about the dlc

It sounds like a blend of all the different songs from the ost. I suppose that makes the title all the more appropriate.

You don't just make music, you capture an atmosphere, a feeling. Your tracks breathe life into the game. It elicits emotions and is the peak of video game music, every game wishes they had music that fits so well. Excellent work.

The beginning tune completely scrambled my brain trying to get its timing down, but it seemed to get in step as it melded with the progression later on; not a feeling I'm used to getting in music. The whole track is fantastic with it as well, sets a good uneasiness as we get into slicing and dicing. Thank you for the early preview, can't wait for the DLC to drop for equal parts gameplay, story, and music!

Since you seem to be reading the comments - this slaps! You’ve set an incredibly high bar with all your previous work, and I’m glad to see (well, hear) that you’re as good as ever. A big part of why people are looking forward to the DLC is that we’ll get to hear more tracks from you!

PLEASE! post this to spotify. This is absolutely incredible and not being able to listen to it on spotify hurts my soul

Очень мощный трек. Спасибо вам. Все ждём с нетерпением, особенно из-за саундтрека!

Such a tease... ...but we shall wait.

I love Katana zero soundtrack, i hope dlc won’t disappoint me. But I m pretty sure you won’t.

LudoWic made another amazing piece, I am overfilled with joy =D

Askiisoft is so lucky to have someone such as you, this music is absolutely stunning and fits the game so well

The katana zero dlc tracks that you've released so far are some of the only OST songs that have me genuinely hyped for the game, and not the other way around

It's been nearly 3 years ... time sure does ~ｃｒａｗｌ~ when waiting for this DLC. But, when ludoWic drops a banger like this while I wait - I don't mind. Hyped for the DLC!

The fact that the art has a dragon thats cut up, could mean a zero vs fifteen fight… since fifteen is the “Dragon” after all.

3:26 damn that buildup!

I got chills 15 seconds in.

The way you build tension throughout your tracks is excellent, I've been studying them for like 6 months and I still can't replicate a fraction of it

This game really wouldn't be the same without your soundtrack, you're one of a kind man

No disrespect to any of the fantastic tracks included in this game (and its soon expansion); but yours have always been my favorite.

Oh man, still hype for the soundtrack and dlc for the last 1000 days. Soundtrack and game never gets old, and thinking this isn’t the only soundtrack makes me so excited for other incredible soundtracks

im also listening to this one too! dec 29th still! but the 30th is pretty close

I just found out about this game and also just beat the game as well. I fell in love. I’ve never been into platformers but, playing this game made me feel like a kid again playing on my gameboy on a long ride home. The gameplay, the story, the soundtrack. It brought tears when I finished. Cant wait for the DLC.

Мне очень понравился этот трек! Жду не дождусь больше композиций от тебя LudoWic!

Cant wait to see what else you and Mr. Kiley come up with, LudoWic! Eagerly awaiting the next DLC just for the music.

The hype is real, and it is strong

ludowic takes mindfuck to literally when hes making soundtracks. its just so good.

I cant wait for the dlc, almost 3 years now and im still hyped, This music is so epic, Great work!

Hopefully the new dlc will come out soon to enjoy Katana Zero and the great ost you make!

SOOO GOOOOD!

I've been listening to it since it came out, I'll never get tired

katana zero is my life thanks ludowic for your music and you're a legend

Oh god, I'm hyped more than ever now. I absolutely love the musical style you and Bill Kiley provided for the world of Katana Zero, it makes everything come alive and wouldn't be the same without them. My favorite of all is your work with Full Confession, it heightens the climax and sadness of the fight so much I felt on the edge of my seat, who knows how long and how many loops their fight took, it's heartbreaking to imagine their struggle. In my opinion you're THE master of building up tension, the progression of instruments and loudness from calm to full intensity, it's a feeling like no other to get focused along your songs as if you're Zero himself aiming for the perfect path.

i played katana zero after giving the ost a try. what an experience they both are. cannot wait for the dlc and the tracks it'll bring

Sounds just as amazing as your other soundtracks, your music is criminally underrated

This is going to be awesome so hype

THIS MAN IS UNSTOPPABLE AND WITH REASON. HE IS JUST SO GOOOD

This just remindes me of when i used to listen to all this great songs while speedrunning katana zero . Can't wait for the dlc and i still hope for a second game

ITS HAPPENING THIS IS SO COOL

This sounds amazing

Dude, absolutely hiped to hear your piece on game, can't wait for the Dlc, much love from Argentina

Man this is incredible, one of the primary reasons I'm looking forward to the dlc

This soundtrack, at my university we had to write about some of our favourite game soundtracks (taking game design) and some guy posted how his favourite song was SNOW so I gave it a listen and here we are today, the katana zero soundtrack is one of my all time favourites and I’m trying to get the soundtrack on vinyl. Absolutely amazing words can’t describe how good this soundtrack sounds I’m so hyped for the dlc

The DLC isn't out and yet I am able to jam to this new incredible track. Amazing.

The soundtrack is maybe the most captivating part of katana zero. I am beyond glad that the level of quality has remained in the dlc

I smell strong The Fifteen vibes here. Great track

My favorite song from you!!! Can't wait for DLC to release!

Holly shit It’s finally happening

Очень сильный саунд, жду не дождусь услышать его в DLC!

LudoWic honestly.. This is one of the best songs I've heard in my entire life... I hope you'll make more!

You're the reason i'm learning music composition. Thank you for being an inspiration for me.

Я рад,что ЛюдоВик получает столько похвал в комментариях,он действительно этого заслуживает. Катана Зеро ещё более атмосферна с его шикарной музыкой. Тем более,что он читает и отвечает чуть ли не на все комментарии,и отвечает иноязычным комментаторам на их же языке. Сразу видно,что человеку не всё равно и он действительно приятный чувак. Спасибо тебе за все ОСТы и удачи,ЛюдоВик.

Ah yes. The lesser known Silksong Great music, been in love with your stuff ever since a friend made me discover Katana zero.

amazing amazing amazing i like how the bass kinda acid-y, fits perfectly with the kz vibe
