"The gift of death is a rare privilege in Hell, so sinners who attempted to control their fate now lie in eternal agony, unable to now control even their own bodies, which now continue to carry on the same punishment to other unfortunate fools."
FUCKING, IF WE DON'T COUNT BOSSES THE WORLD LOOKS RED IS THE BEST SONG IN THIS GODDAMN GAME, THE MIX OF TRAGEDY AND POWER IN THESE NOTES, HOW THE VIOLIN CRIES OUT IN BETWEEN ALL THE DRUMS, GUITARS, THE MADNESS, IT RAPPRESENTS GRIEF AND TRAGEDY AS THE ANGUISHED WAIL OF AGONY IT IS!
@@toymaster4041 Requiem, Do Robots Dream of Eternal Sleep, Hear! The Siren Song Call of Death, The Fire is Gone (For Trumpet, Piano, and Saxophone), and of course we can't forget where we started with Into the Fire. Damn Ultrakill has got really good music.
I’m not gonna lie, when I listen to The World Looks Red, I picture the entirety of Hell, and not just Violence. It just screams suffering, and honestly it works for almost every circle. I always picture a soul burning and screaming for forgiveness or mercy, this might be one of the best songs in the whole game
This sentence reminds me about the Ferrymen. I can imagine the Ferryman's (the one in 5-2) final thoughts being a cry for help to Gabriel or Heaven with this motif behind it.
I think that V1 can be seen as both a hero and a villain. He probably killed a lot of humans. Yet, he rampaged through Hell, saving these souls from eternal torture, he has given them a sort of relief. And now, as the final two layers of Hell get completed, we will see what will be of Heaven, of Hell, of Gabriel...
To me, the difference between the portrayal of tragedy in The World Looks Red and War Without Reason despite being in the same thematic setting is shocking and a perfect showcase of Hakita's skills as a composer. Here, the violin is a very personal scream. It feels as though the Harpies are clawing out from their prisons, yelling out to the player to grace them with death. But their savior is a grim version of what a hero should be. There is no justice, only violence and death. In War Without Reason, the guitar in the final section of the song is also a scream. Yet, it's more akin to a cacophony of screams; a reflection on humanity's idiotic and pained war that bestowed upon its victims nothing but violence for no just reason. god I love ultrakill
Sands Of Tide/WAR's leitmotif felt like accepting the loss but still fighting against it; maybe you can avoid it, right? Glory's leitmotif felt like reminiscing the past... well... glory that you lost. Requiem/ORDER's leitmotif felt like being one step away from regaining everything you lost. War Without Reason's leitmotif feels like trying to contain that before it gets taken away again. But this? This feels like you're *never* getting it back. You failed. And the worst part? *You know you lost your chance*
I love how different this song is from most ultrakill songs. A lot of the songs mix many instruments together make HEAT, but out of nowhere, 40-ish seconds into this song, this ABSOLUTE POWERHOUSE of a chello(?) just takes centerstage with this terrifyingly desperate melody. LOVE IT.
@@MrSrFranyou are most welcome for the recommendation, glad you enjoyed it (also check out some more of duv's songs while youre at it, i fully believe some of his work ouclasses hakita's music)
In other soundtracks, they just represent the layer they're made for. But this one just is the term "Suffering" being explained with a music. dawg it's so cool to be able to imagine what those sinners are going through
I like the overall theme of light up the night better, the layout of the level combined with Hear! The siren call of death is way different then other levels, which are mostly linear
The reason why it took me 18 minutes to complete The Garden of Forking paths was not because of the difficulty. No. The music. The book of lore. The boss, the implications. This entire level seriously hurt me.
Everybody else sees meaning in the songs and cry because of them and feel feelings because of them while my dumbass over here is sitting with zero media literacy skills and barely feeling a thing. God damn it thought this song is good, i just wasnt able to appreciate it when playing through because of the combat that takes place. Anyways
