Terraria Calamity Mod Music - "Signal Received" - Theme of Draedon (Pre-Fight) 

just for absolute clarification because i know what y'all are like THIS IS NOT THE EXO MECH BOSS THEME, THIS IS THE DRAEDON PRE-FIGHT THEME. (and will also be used for an upcoming feature in the bountiful harvest update)

Now, choose.

the song of draedon menacingly sitting in his gamer chair 🗿

My favorite Draedon quote gotta be “Computer, fetch me my list of slurs”

Draedon shall be banging out the tunes after a short commercial break from our sponsor Raid: Exo Legends

I like how ominous it is. I liked the old pre-fight theme a lot but this is better.

i know this isnt really related to the song but i love how you kept the "funny story" trope from dokuro, really ties in the calamity soundtrack feel

_"I have waited long for this moment."_ _"Your nature fascinates me, for I do not understand it."_ _"You will battle my creations which have surpassed gods."_ _"And you will prove your disposition in battle."_ *_"Now, choose."_*

"Balls" - Draedon

I still enjoy the fact that Draedon's mere presence boils up a storm in your world. Sky dims. Thunder crashes down. Sheer power and energy eagerly waiting to be released by both you and his creations Thinking about it, most powerful entities show their power level like this too. Cryogen summons a mesmerizing aurora, Devourer brings the distortion, Yharon heats the air, and Calamitas seizes all colors into scarlet flames

I imagine Draedon not even being able to headbang since his old, rusty head would just fall off. He'll probably need to get that checked out before THE theme releases.

"From the moment you raided one of my laboratories, I had my eyes on you, Terrarian. I was never a man of faith, but something within me beckoned my sights towards your path. 'Illogical, a waste of time', my past self would have said, but here you are now... The primordial fire torn from her wings, the wings that you wear on your back... The scourge of the universe, its cosmic mandibles turned into blades... And the king's own dragon, its very essence turned into the armour you wear, armour bearing a strange similarity with the king's own... You are a being most interesting, Terrarian. Whether it is simply Yharim's head or the power to rule that you seek, you are on the right path, and I understand that I'm simply nothing more than an obstacle for you to overcome and grow from. While I cannot direct you to the king himself, for that is a matter beyond even my grasp, I can entertain your greed... A reward for summoning me to your world. *Now choose:"* Edit: I also noticed Draedon has RGB nipple lights... nice.

This is the most monologue song I've ever heard. And it SCREAMS (for the lack of a better word) *_INTERMISSION_*

The most epic “I’m waiting on my chair for your choice” theme is here!

We do be choosing mechs with this one 🔥🔥

🗣🗣🗣🗣THE AMBIENCE MUSIC IS DRAEDONE🗣🗣🗣🗣

" Didn't feel like it needed to be super long or super high effort at all" proceeds to make one of my new favorite tracks for calamity

OIL-STAINED CANVAS OF CREATION UNENDING INNOVATION FORGED IN FIRE, FUELED BY DESIRE PERFECTING ALL THAT SHALL TRANSPIRE Love the sort of space-like ambience to the track. Really nails the futuristic vibe

DOMAIN EXPANSION: GAUSS NUKE SPAM

Every day I realise that in the cruelest twist of irony, draedon the machine of no heart is incredibly similar to Gabriel, the righteous hand of the father.

This would be an excellent main menu theme unlocked after you contact Draedon.

Beyond Cubic already being good, the practice definitely payed off.

He is just standing there... _MENACINGLY_

WE ARE MAKING OUR CHOICE WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🔥🔥

EVEN IF IT IS PRE-FIGHT, I AM EXCITED!!! lets go.

*As the clouds parted, making way for something greater as the thunder crashes distantly, you witnessed his swift descent, bearing the signal from your auric cell. In disbelief, he sat up, collecting his thoughts. And so, he then spoke.* *"Make your choice."*

I'm so glad I went into the mod mostly blind cus I was not expecting the ass-kickery awaiting me after this subtle contemplative song

I just woke up now and I hear this. Very good work Charlie!

I just imagine the artwork being draedon growing impatiently as you pick a mech to fight

Just wanna say that ive been listening to this song since you released it. It is in my playlist with all your cubic songs because they are all so chill to listen to. Really good for just a pre-fight theme.

"For as long as I served you, you've been thorough. Those that upset you, you either destroy or imprison. You haven't spared an ounce of mercy. And then 'they' show up, and you just try and scare them off. It would've taken no effort to destroy them, but you insisted on play along some game with them. And it's not that they just don't register for you, you've felt the need to taunt them with your extreme power. So why? If they caught your eye in the past and they've been ebbing away at our foundation, why haven't you ordered them executed?" "No matter, now that it have come to this. your very own decision that cost even the death of the Mighty Dragon, the Collapsing and Destruction of the Devourer, and even now the death wish that is coming onto u, is this truly what you've wish for?" "i seek for Perfection and Absolution among everything, and you showed me that even a being as powerfull as you can still made a mistake. i wish not to become like you, for i am but a Man of Science in search of Perfection and Knowledge of the Universe." "Now that you have nothing left but a Throne and The Guilt you bear, i shall truly part my way from you, for *"They"* are a formidable and such a fascinating Subject to my Creation." - Draedon to Yharim ""ahh.. how I have waited long for this moment. Your nature fascinates me, for I do not understand it. Tell me, what is it that you truly seek and fight for through your entire journey? was it the Fascination & Thrill of an Adventure, was it your hatred and anger againts the Tyrant? or do you wish to seek Control and Power over the World? or do you seek to Overcome the Gods just like The Tyrant?" "The more thoughts i have on you, the more interesting & exciting it is for me to finally get a taste of you and test it by my self, as your nature remains Uknown to me and what you truly are. however, all of that will change now." "Ever since I was alerted to your presence, I have Observed and Processed your battles in order to make my machines stronger. there's no error in my calculation as it is Perfect. Even now, I monitor your actions. understanding your weakness, your strength, your will, your goal, all of it. Nothing should escape the bounds of my Calculations." "im aware, that right now i am but a mere Obstacle for your Journey to meet the Tyrant, another Foe for you to defeat and Overcome. but even through my calculation i have no doubt even at the most Hard challenge and unfavorable moment, you will always find a way eventually." "now that we are here, Right Now You will face my creations which have surpassed gods. Machine Created and have been adapted to Specificaly Eliminate *"You"*. And you will show me your disposition through battle." "You have forged your own path, and now shall be the Final point where there's no going back. From here on out, Your Journey will be harder and will eventually comes to an end." "right, enough Talk. *"Now, choose."* - Draedon to the Terarrian (This is a fan and retouched dialog i made for Draedon to Yharim and The Terrarian bcz i was bored lol. the 1st one is some kind of lore dialogue of Draedon to Yharim, i craft and re arrange it based on some Draedon quotes i found online and through the comments section and the fandom web lol. and for the Draedon to the player, most of it i made from the official and the fandom website that provides the Draedon Dialogue/lines. and then i added more words and re arrange it a bit to make it more immersive. hopefully u guys like it hehe and big upss for the source of reference i get to make this.)

This is what the old pre-fight theme was missing: the Calamity bells Sounds good, can't wait for the full Draedon theme when it's ready!

Such a blessing to have you working on this mod; thank you for this

every banger you put out goes on my playlists. Keep making great songs CD!

Vergil chair < Draedon chair

Now this is a really cool theme and makes me rather hyped up to hear the future themes you'll make :D Really foreboding and cool as you have to choose your first mech to fight.

"Hmm, Indeed." "You shall do as an appetizer."

aaaaaa i'm so super excited to see what's in store for the draedon and calamity, i really love your music!!!

"draedon lightskin stare doesn't exist, it can't hurt you." meanwhile draedon lightskin stare:

Already a great start to the month

the motifs in here are such a treat to listen to, excited for the upcoming themes :)

I can already feel the theme of the exo mechs emanate through this, it's going to be awesome! Also welcome back apotofkoolaid! Glad you're back!

I was on the stream, you cooked man!!! Waiting for your next work, I absolutely loved this one ❤️

Welcome back apotofkoolaid! CD this is super hype! i cant wait to see the final product of Draedon and the exo mechs themes!

god, this feels and sounds like dokuro, yet with your own twist. this is awesome!! I can’t wait to see what you make next for the mod!! take my subscription btw

I have no idea what I’ve been missing out on since the last time I played was back during the Rust & Dust update which I was late to. Amazing artwork and music 😁

Its really nice to have some more official art of Draedon, and this one looks so badass. Props to the artist, and props to you, CD.

In time, the outcome of our choice will be shown. I can’t wait for the big theme. Keep up the great work!!

WHAT A BANGER AMBIANCE THEME! Just the chimes, electronic whirring, and Draedon motif are enough to get me to the edge of my seat in anticipation! Not to dwell too hard on comparisons, but I do like how this one is a bit brighter than Infernum's really dark one, it's a nice contrast that lets you appreciate both for what they are

0:25 That chord gave me pleasurable auditory sensations

Bruh. I’ve been constantly listening to Draedong themes for the past week and then you drop this on us. E x c e l l e n t

The title nearly drove my off my seat for a minute there, but I wasn't disappointed in the slightest! Aside from being the pre-fight theme to the Exo Mechs (and that other feature of the codebreaker we've been teased in the recent v2.0.4.001 trailer), this to me honestly also feels like some nice interlude before we get the final two of that CD goodness in the soundtrack. Dunno if it's intentional but I'm absolutely fond of those kind of vibes.

Good job CDMusic, I'm really thankful of the music you and HeartPlusUp managed to do for this game Please, Take your time to do these songs as best as possible And take a break if needed, please do not rush it, there is no need

You captured Calamity's music so well lol it almost feels like ive heard this before but not really??? Idk how to describe it but its so ethereal

CD really making me miss him already even before his composition time at calamity ends, this is an instant slot-in for my playlist hot damn this is so good

absolute banger, as always :)

this gives vibes of those interlude themes on the og soundtrack, love it!

Draedon after getting called for the 639164014th time already knowing my ass is getting obliterated in the next 4 seconds

Bro, just woke up and saw this? Heck yeah dude, can’t wait

A being of extreme knowledge and intelligence with the one true goal to expand his knowledge and the abilities of science and technology. Now presenting himself to a true God Slayer with the words "Now Choose"

"I have waited long for this meeting... Anomaly." "You, who has killed the Lord of the moons." "Eradicated the Serpant and it's Servants." "Who even defeated the Phoenix." "And is on the way to the Witch." "I know who you are... and I know what you've done and will do." "If you wish you can fight my Zenith Fabrications." "Don't worry... I won't underestimate you... They won't underestimate you." "Only then I see how strong you trully are." "Why you ask? Well that's simple..." "Mortal, living beings can do mistakes." "Mechanic beings can't..." "especially if they are made by me." "But this is enough talking" "Now choose" (I know he doesn't say that but I like to make my own dialogue)

So soothing, love it.

This gives me Risk of Rain vibes, great work as always!

I know its blurred and you cant really see it but I can tell the cover image for tier 5 is going to look crazy and I'm so excited

This is a very good track, definitely fits the feeling of an otherworldly mechanic letting you know that you might be in over your head with the upcoming battle. Excited for the official battle theme! Also love the subtle nod to the current placeholder exo mech theme.

oooh my... even for the pre-fight, I'm hyped

Fantastic ambiance, i love your music

Glad you're still with us, even with all the insanity of this community you're still going until it's finished. I really wish that there were more people out there with your determination.

Dude this sounds AMAZING Holy Moly i cant wait to make a beat saber map of the full version when it drops!

This is amazing, like wow, definitely gets the feeling of "The calm before the storm" for me!

Lo-fi beats to select your Exo Mechs to fight to

Very good music, every time you make us all more happy)

An absolute banger for the study sesh 🔥

"I received your signal, but it's time to make a decision" I don't know how you do it, but I love how your musical themes generate certain feelings, and on this occasion I will say that it generates peace within me, is it because I am listening to it at 4 am? Although the wait is long, I know it will be worth it, and even more, welcome back apotofkoolaid :)

This is perfect. An incredible representation that less is sometimes more.

For the pre fight song, this absolutely sets the tone for what's to come. Sounds like something you'd hear in something like Risk of Rain and I LOVE it for that. I am hyped about what comes next for the theme and tier 5, but also take your time with it.

This song makes me feel like you've tried to contact God for years. You've failed up to every single attempt. But this one. The moment the skies open, and the beam signal gets sent, you stay there in silence. Almost as if knowing your response won't come, once again, just like what's happened all the previous times. But, this time... The signal keeps sending. The maching starts beeping uncontrollably and a lot of symbols appear on its screen. You stay there, in awe, speechless, while the skies darken. Then, a figure shows up before you, analyzing your every move and detail from your figure. And then the figure presents themselves with a "Now, choose.".

YESSSSSSS, the atmosphere is gonna be DELIGHTFUL.

ABSOLUTE KING

Absolutely love this one!

FIRE AS ALWAYS ❤❤❤

I literally thought you quit making terraria music but thank god you didn’t

Man, this song is such a vibe.

It's was something. Wish I could see that count down again

dradon banging out them tunes 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Damn, this is good. Can't wait for Exo-Mechs theme!

I swear, I thought the thumbnail was Draedon as Omniman. THINK YHARIM, THINK

Loved it, good stuff

I love this, very foreboding for the mayhem that occurs straight afterwards

I can't WAIT to make our choice already🔥🔥

Looks like gonna be a banger

A banger appetizer? Oh hell yeah

I think I just found my new favorite study music :)

good music my dude congrats!!

This is like something I would hear in a stormy day

It’s finally arriving soon. The signal of the mechanical genius of vast information grows closer to the transmission of his schematics. *You and now destined to fight his creations, and felled the abhorrent abominations that lie from his hand and crafts work. Go forth and continue your reign. He is merely a hurdle in your journey.* *However, it is now known he will be ready with his creations refined and refurbished to the maximum. His magnum opus now full, you are the only one as a pawn, a subject; in his game of chess.* (I overthought this, but anyways AMAZING PIECE CD! I know your journey has been rough and I wish you well in your endeavors, but your legacy that you will leave behind in the form of these pieces will cement yourself among the greats in music composers for games. Good luck in everything mate ❤❤❤)

An appetizer

That pose cold AF tbh

Ahh, ominous and oddly soothing. My favorite combination. I can't wait for the Exo Mechs, take all the time you need :)

my favourite genre, draedrone
