The Vast Glub 

"I just felt a disturbance in the force... As if millions of trolls screamed in terror, and were suddenly silenced...", said Trollbiwan Kenobi.

"so this song is about a lovecraftian horror that kills a buncha gray aliens with horns"

friendly reminder that unless they die prematurely or find a way to escape, every hiveswap troll is gonna be killed by this

Did anyone else notice it makes that creepy glub noise 12 times, once each for the 12 blood castes?

If this is the noise that kills everyone, then i'm suicidal.

This is the scream that kills all trolls except for the Condesce and Feferi. Why is the music so upbeat and happy.

I imagine the Glub is less of the music and more of that eldritch chanting in the backround. the music itself is more of the weird upbeat like something.. well, Vast is happening, similar to the upbeat tone in [S] Game Over, despite everyone dying. While Game Over had a rock-like theme to accompany the upbeat to musically demonstrate the battle in all the deaths, "The Vast Glub" has the chanting to demonstrate the whispers of Gl'bgolyb. If you pay attention musically to how the melody (the memorable theme) has alot of drawn out notes, and at some parts it has a string plucked and left to wobble a bit, that's the leery effect taking place to show the trolls actually dying Also, remember that the Vast Glub in canon is suppose to start as a whisper that kills the lower bloods and as it gets louder, the higher up the hemo-spectrum the Glub effects. At about 2:39 , the music cuts out and all you hear is the eldritch chanting, that's where everyone is officially dead and all that is left is the starving Gl'bgolyb. When the music comes back in at 2:57, it's alot slower and desolate, you can visually compare it in your mind to looking over a massive battlefield long after the battle is over, and all you see is the cold bodies and rubble left behind. Hope this clears up everything, and I hope you enjoyed what you may have learned if you bothered reading the whole thing.

This is how Gl'bgolyb kills non-fuschiablood trolls. Does the awesomeness of the music overwhelm them or does Gl'bgolyb just cram psionic-killing eldritch waves between every single note?

Should have just been 4 minutes straight of a loud and haunting road/screech.

I am the globglogabgalab.

this music is to die for

Underrated track. Love how it begins intensely with a strong rhythm but is also upbeat, until the glubs start and the music gets quieter. The rhythmic glubs end in an epic, destructive cry and a sudden, terrifying silence.

if i was feferi when the vast glub was released my only thought would be "well fuck"

so, doom is probs associated with psychics. sollux suffers from doom the vast glub is a psychic shockwave

This could of been great for a Sollux Ascension

funny, you'd think that a sound with the capability to cause an entire galaxy-spanning race of aliens with powerful psychic abilities along with a variety of other powers to all die off simultaneously in mere moments save for the leader and her heiress would be a lot more horrifying and eldritch, but nope, it's actually quite an enjoyable experience for the ears.

The sound effect I used is a remix effect in the standard Logic Pro 9 user library, heavily pitched, chopped through a digital guitar amp and heavily equalized. :)

I just realized that the Vast Glub Is not in the Universe A album

reminder that this actually happened, so not only did the troll civilization have to deal with meteors raining down over their cities, but a vast noise coming from the ocean that slaughtered anyone who survived the meteors, so, case in point, "twinArmageddons" 🔴🔵♊

I would die to this.

Underrated track, still here listening it to this day.

Actually I think its because thats where Gl'bgolyb lives now, as all the Lusi were transported there in a certain event. And Since Humans dont seem to be psionicly receptive, and there isnt a Seadwweller to Feed Her, nor an )(eiress to comfort her, this might be a regular sound on Earth.

you heard something... a sound... a song?

* glubs vastly *

Hey, I can feel my ears being wiped out already.

oops everyone is dead

I'm thinking the beginning to about 2:40 is everyone trying to get Sollux in before he dies, and then 2:40-2:50 is them all realizing that they're too late, and watching Sollux die. Then 2:57 onward is everyone realizing that he can be saved. Hoorah.

FEFERI, THANKS FOR REVIVING THE BEST CHARACTER IN HOMESTUCK!

Hear that? Thats my patron psiionic dying

Oh wow, the actual Vast Glub sounded very similar

QUICK EVERYONE OUT OF THE UNIVERSE, CHOP CHOP

Have you ever heard a song so beautiful you cried?

Years later, this is also good mood music for Subnautica

The Vast Glub, The Will to Fight Further and Hope Strikes Eternal are secretly the same song. Change my mind.

Why is this song so underrated?

That's what Sollux and The Psiioniic heard before they died. Not so bad of a death, if you ask me.

OBEY.

this goes hella hard for being a song about doom

I have no idea what this is or how i stumbled across this but its in my music playlist and it sounds good so why would I remove it and maybe ill try researching what this thing is about.

*vastly glubs*

theme song to the apocalypse

its the sound that starts up a universe, you could say that the full sound is something a normal being couldn't take hearing.

I always picture this song to be a song to "go out" on. Like one of the characters is holding the line while the rest of them escape from something. Then during the 3:00 on mark when the music changes would be a zoom out from the planet, to the system, to the galaxy, to the universe as we watch the sound wave from the glub expand.

All I can imagine now is Eridan dying in Feferis' arms ;-;

The vast wonk *Essexualy*

Play this at my funeral

best song for homework

Yeah, it's the second part that sounds horrifying.

The vast glub just seems so horrifying based on description...

wow in that first part i imagined everyone using their preferred modes of transportation to get to sollux this is one of your bests

CHILLS

I'm actually friends with Astartus, and this guy is pretty damn awesome. If you want to see some of his earlier fan music he did for the BEN DROWNED story, check out /user/whatsyourmask. Remixed songs, but awesome nonetheless.:) Just thought I'd share it here.

This is pretty much the perfect music to accompany the battle with my dinesen and subsequent second ascension.

The idea of all trolls being killed off actually makes me cry.

The art for this is horrifying.

how to make alternian/beforus genocide: put this on popular memes/trends/videos.

play this song on 1.25 speed. its awesome

I did not notice the use of Pokemon Tower in this before. Or the Silent Hill sounding heart beat/glub.

Because feferi's/condence's lusis performed the vast glub killing all of the trolls in Universe B. As far as we know, such an event didn't happen in Universe A.

this has a heisty feel to it

why does the end of all live on Alternia as we know it have to sound so BADASS T_T

ofcourse its homestuck.... the most touching story and legend the true high god Andrew Hussie brought us *sniff*

2018-2019

Came here from random fnaf teaser video Still goes hard

For a moment I got the glub and the croak confused, and the music didn't dissuade me of this loo

Shit. SoRRy guys. Likes we'Re at 413. Now they'RE at 414.

Am I the only one who thinks the beginning sounds a bit like the beginning of Hate you

20 glubs in total.

To elaborate on the Gl'bgolyb's and the Condesce's relationship, it's more of a give-and-take type. While Gl'bgolyb serves as a powerful ally of the Condesce's, she would normally have to keep it quiet by feeding it in massive amounts. Although, this instance of the creature is probably an ecto-clone since the original is dead. Also, with Tavros'/the Summoner's powers, she probably doesn't need to do much to keep it in check anymore.

Umm... dang I don't think 500 characters is enough room to type a troll movie title! :P

Dude, Obi-Wan Kenobi is perfect, it already fits 6/6.

fish puns. fush puns everywhale. (lolyouseewhatIdidthere XD)

2:56 my theme

we do now ;D

i like that echo kraken thing they do that 1:22 what is that

1:20 just...wow

I mean the album art. On bandcamp.

2024!❤

THIS IS SO FUCKING SAD WTF

troll wars

Is it just me or does this sound quite a bit like Chrono Trigger's final boss theme?

Maybe because in the alpha kids universe the Condence takes over earth and Gl'bgolyb is on earth with her.

Dude, what would the title of that movie be?

:P Man, I don't even get it either.

What. No Condencce controlls the vast gluber mate.

Actually, that would be the Vast Croak. The Vast Glub is entirely different.

I don't know. I'm weird.

This is awesome music, but I don't think it really fits Gl'bgolyb. Except for the glub parts.

It's not that bad. o3o
