TheFatRat & Everen Maxwell - Warbringer (feat. Lindsey Stirling) [Chapter 7] 

So grateful for all of you who still listen to this song! I'm also releasing a new song "Myself & I" on April 26th, you can pre-save it here: thefatrat.ffm.to/chapter6

Heavy bass combined with orchestral elements... YOU GUYS NAILED IT

I literally neglected the title for the first minute and thought “This reminds me a lot of Lindsey Stirling-“ then freaked out when I realized it WAS her. So freakin’ cool.

This is one of those songs that make you feel like a badass when you're probably not and you're actually just doing math problems

This song definitely portrays the feeling of marching into battle, heavily outnumbered, barely equipped, thoroughly filled with terror, but refusing to back down. And so, with adrenaline searing through our bodies, we march off to fight, and maybe die.

Loved this one!

Epic work! 👏🔥

OMG FEAT Lindsey Stirling!!!

The tune from 0:53 to 1:11 was on another level.So sick and confidence boosting.Something like the assembling of the heroes.

Lindsey's violin style is so iconic and recognizable.

I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, l get reminded of this song❤

Just one word to describe this song: Perfection. TFR’s orchestral melody, Everen’s drop melody and Lindsey’s violin skills combined together? What’s better them that? An amazing song, for an amazing album with an amazing story. Nice job Chris, Everen and Lindsey for doing this song! You guys are incredible!

Updated album lore/story theory summary: In Hiding in the Blue, (Chapter 1) the female protagonist with a sword is now floating above the clouds to seek shelter from the mechanical monsters and demons who tried hunting her down in the past. It is revealed that she was a soldier in the rebellion's efforts against Heaven's giant machines that invaded and ravaged her home planet of Arcadia. (The rest of the album is a flashback that starts back when Arcadia was still peaceful.) In Arcadia (Chapter 2), Laura is together with a loved one on her peaceful home planet of Arcadia. This may be the same person she was mourning the death of in Monody. This is a flashback prior to the disaster that is about to occur, ruining the planet with the arrival of an orb in… In Pride and Fear (Chapter 3), the once beautiful and prosperous planet of Arcadia suddenly is met by the arrival of the mysterious orbs. Those controlling the orbs give promises of peace and a bounty of something in exchange for something "owed" (possibly natural resources), but the promise is never kept, as they never "planted or sowed". The orbs also have the ability to instill certain emotions, like pride, fear, and greed into the people of the planet. Eventually, Arcadia becomes empty and abandoned, haunted by the souls of those who died from the demons and monsters sent by the antagonist. In Upwind (Chapter 4), a navy is formed to fight back against the orbs by those who are aware of their threat, and Cape Guy (different from Hoodie Man/Chris) is now leaving to enlist. Sword Girl is saying goodbye to him for the last time, since she is not on the deck of the ship. Also, note the definition of “Upwind”, according to Oxford Languages via Google, which is “in the opposite direction to that in which the wind is blowing; against the wind”. In the artwork, Cape Guy is literally moving in the opposite direction to the wind (as evident by the direction his cape is flapping against the clouds), or upwind. The ships are warships since they are equipped with weaponry. In Our Song (Chapter 5), Sword Girl has been waiting a long time for Cape Guy to return from war as the storm grows near, birds start to flee, and winter arrives. The trees start to “turn to stone”, like possibly in Monody and in the other instances that the Storm might have occurred, and she feels herself barely clinging on to life. The village now has advanced technology, maybe given to it by the orbs, with antennae-topped skyscrapers. In Violet Sky (Chapter 6), Sword Girl has a vision of her home with Cape Guy, so she goes back to the holy place where she lived together with Cape Guy, only to find that it has been destroyed by a mechanical demon. The air has turned the color violet, filled with electricity. In Warbringer (Chapter 7), Sword Girl, determined to fight back against the demon, finds a mechanical gorilla suit to climb into (indicated by the ladder in front of it) to use as she decides to wage war against the invaders.

I did not see the Lindsey collab coming, but it hit HARD, just as I like it :3

The violin and heavy bass combine to give the feeling of both an overbearing army, and a fleeting rebellion striking back!

0:54 this solo is amazing!!!!!

" we're not waiting for a war, we bring the war to them" Was EPIC| nostalgic!

"WE BRING THE WAR TO THEM" most underrated statement

You know that feeling you get when you hear the song that fits perfectly with the passion project you’re working on? Yeah that’s this song for me… it’s beyond perfect

As a violinist, I love that TheFatRat incorporated violin into one of his songs. :)

I has been dreaming with TheFatRat and Lindsey Stirling collaborating together for many years. I'm in shock, I still can't believe it ... What a wonder, I love all of you, guys 💙💫

This is pure genius, epic song 🤩

7 Months Ago The Chapter 7 7 years later i'll be back to see where we've come I WILL COME BACK.

“We’re not waiting for war, we bring the war to them” Epic

I am in love 💙

The violin contrast with heavy bass mirrors the contrast between the elegant swordswoman and the robotic wonder in front of her. Great job to all the artists/musicians!

My favorite song from the album. The emotions, the feelings, this determination of the war coming

0:54 EPIC MOMENT!

THIS IS PROBABLY MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SO FAR!!! Not just for the collab of the century, but because of how GOOD this sounds!!

“We’re not waiting for a war, we bring the war to them…” That line gives me goosebumps

The melody, The Beats, The Power, The Orchestral Elements. The Song which gave me a real competitor to the all time favorite Monody. Truly Underrated. It takes time to understand. Surely Deserves Fame, Real Fame.

POV: The Warbringer actually brought the war

So far, the story goes like this, In Chapter 1(Hiding in the Blue), the empire of Arcadia have been overrun by a demon invasion and our Female Protagonist survived and took refuge in a sky island. She was a soldier in the legions, who fought to defend her home but ultimately lost the war. Distraught over the destruction of her home, she reminisce her past life in Arcadia and the adventures she used to have. Now, she has waited day and night for a Hero to take her home. In chapter 2(Arcadia), from the music, the title and the background, it looks like our Female Protagonist is having flashbacks of her past life with The Hero in Arcadia, her home. (But to maintain continuity with chapter 4, i think it would be safe to assume that they are also going to someplace offscreen.) In Chapter 3(Pride and Fear), our Female Protagonist narrates the history of Arcadia. Once upon a time, Arcadia was a vast and highly prosperous empire. People revered it's glorious legends, and upheld the peace. But greed, pride, and fear slowly started to grow among the people. Eventually, the peace started to fade away, as no one was left to uphold it. Later, Arcadia got invaded by demons ( perhaps to collect the wealth the empire and the people hoarded due to greed). The demons ravaged the lands and now, Arcadia has become a ruin, haunted by the souls of the people who lived here. In chapter 4(Upwind), from the title, music, and background, it is understood that The Hero and our Female Protagonist has arrived in place which looks a 'Sky-port', and is seen boarding a sky-ship. As the ship is armed with cannons, it is highly likely that they are planning to use sky-ships to take back Arcadia. From the background, it also seems that they are parting their ways, and the hero is going to someplace. In Chapter 5(Our Song), the hero has left our Female Protagonist and went to war.( the background of chapter 4 is also indicating this plot-line.) She is now holding on for the hero and is waiting while singing their song. ( the lyrics "... da da da da da..." could refer to the tune of the song they used to sing together. This also indicates that she already knew the hero before chapter 1, which was also hinted in chapter 2.) Now, the seasons have passed and winter has come. She is still holding out for him. Whenever she misses him, she wishes that the hero would wake her with a kiss.( This indicates that they have a close relationship with each other.) In Chapter 6(Violet Sky), from the lyrics and the background, it is understood that our Female Protagonist has left the place where she and The Hero had parted ways. Now, it seems that she is going back to Arcadia, her home, to join the war. The lyrics "This is getting heavy but I carry on" indicates that ,despite the odds, she is continuing her journey. The background indicates that after reaching Arcadia, she has witnessed a colossal demon. In Chapter 7(Warbringer), it is seen that our Female Protagonist is going inside a Colossal Mech, that is, a robot.( This could indicate that the demon she saw in chapter 6 is also a mech and she has noticed it.) Now, it seems that she plans to use this colossal mech in the war for Arcadia. The lyrics also point out that our Female Protagonist and her allies had suffered enough and is bringing the war to the demons. In chapter 8(Fire), from the music and the background, it is seen that there is going to be a battle between our Female Protagonist's mech, which is the robot she found in chapter 7, and the colossal demon, seen in chapter 6 ( which could also be a mech, hinted by the electric-like currents flowing through its chest). In Chapter 9( Love it when you hurt me), from the background, it is seen that an epic battle between Our Female Protagonist's mech and the colossal demon mech is undergoing in the ruins of a city, which I think is Arcadia. Both the mechs look quite damaged from the battle. ( I can't quite make any accurate summary from the lyrics, but I have two theories regarding the lyrics. First one is that our Female Protagonist is thinking about her beloved, The Hero, during the battle. Second one is that the lyrics signify some connection between The Hero and the colossal demon mech she is fighting, that is, he is the one controlling the demon mech. In that case, he might be bewitched or cursed and doesn't know that he is fighting his beloved. Our Female Protagonist might be aware of this and perhaps she is also trying to free him from his curse. The second theory makes more sense, as there are two mechs, one controlled by our Female Protagonist, and the two halves of the lyrics are sung by a male and a female singer, suggesting that the second mech might be controlled by The Hero.) In Chapter 10( Let Love Win ), from the background and the lyrics, it seen that the battle between our Female Protagonist's mech and the colossal demon mech has finished, with both the mechs lying heavily damaged on the ground. In the aftermath of the battle, she and The Hero is standing on top of the mechs ( which also indicates that it was him who was controlling the demon mech). Now, she is asking him not to give in to the "sad machines" and to the " TV screens" ( which indicates that there are greater antagonistic forces at play) and let their love for each other prevail (which indicates that he was indeed brainwashed) . She is still having "Fevered dreams", that is the flashbacks, and here in the ruins of Arcadia their home, she is asking him for another moment of endearment with him, no matter where it would lead them.

Fantastic song I really really love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Probably the most epic song he's ever made

These 3:39 minutes are one of the best in my life👍🏻. This song is so good!

💛🖤

I couldn't have been more hyped about this song especially considering the people involved and it still exceeded expectations. Stronger by TFR + Roundtable Rival by Lindsey + Enchanted by Everen Maxwell = This masterpiece

1:28 -Stronger.

This started playing and I was like “That’s giving me Lindsey Stirling vibes..” and I had to check. This song is absolutely amazing

God I love Lindsey.. She is the onlyone that can use a Violin in EVERY music genere.. Very impressive as a Chapter 7. I'm exited for every chapet I'm just listening them everyday and everytime

TheFatRat is honestly so underrated like holy crap all this hard work and dedication for barely a million views this man deserves more 👏

In shadows deep, where darkness shrouds the land, Retribution rises, a powerful hand. It is our strength, a fire burning bright, In the depths of the endless night. Let fury guide your weapons, fierce and bold, In battles fierce, as tales of old. Let vengeance be your song, a haunting cry, As we march forth, beneath the crimson sky. We are the angels of death, silent and swift, In the face of danger, our resolve will lift. And our enemies shall fall, before our might, In the name of justice, we shall fight. With hearts unyielding, and courage deep, We'll march as one, our promises to keep. Retribution's call, like thunder's call, In our united strength, we shall conquer all.

VERY Good!

Warbringer is finally out! So glad I got to work with Everen and Lindsey on this track. Listen to it here: lnk.to/tfrwarbringeryt

If you play this song at exactly 11:57:03, the drop hits right at midnight.

One of my favourite songs. The music conveys the story so vividly I can see it

This song is a testament to how much TheFatRat's music has evolved, culminating in an absolute masterpiece! Lovely song man!

Fantastic.

This is definitely my favourite song from you. Absolutely fantastic.

This song is so good that it doesn't even need to be editted to be made into a trailer song.

When the beat enters like a boss. The crowd: *Faints* This is fire keep doing what your doing

I literally had chills when he said , We bring the war to them

OMG! 1 MILLION SOON! Let's go!

Perfect perfectly!!!!!!!!!!

That was CRISP. Drumline, bassline, signal to noise was fantastic, even after the YT compression. Seriously some of the absolute **cleanest** audio I've heard in a long time. My neighbors and I will be listening to this one on the BIG system later...

OK so here's what I've got so far in terms of the story. Two main characters: a guy and a girl who live happily in Arcadia as we see them in the Arcadia music video. But when the 'demons' attack, the guy joins the army to go to war and defend their home as we hear about in Our Song. But Arcadia's forces are overwhelmed, and the monsters unleash an all-out attack on the city (we don't know at this point whether the guy survived or not). Although Arcadia is destroyed as we see in Violet Sky, the girl escapes to the island we see in Hiding in the Blue. Now however, we see in Warbringer the girl has a weapon of her own, some sort of mech that she can pilot. I expect she is going to use this to wage a second war on the creatures that destroyed her home to get revenge, and this will most likely be explored in Chapter 8, 'Fire'. If I've missed anything important pls let me know in the replies :) I think this is a really great story so far and I could see this as a novel/book series (or imagine this on the big screen...)

That bass part though shakes my soul whenever i listen to it

One of the best pieces I have ever heard. Great job!

This is the most powerful one he ever made, like this is actually a powerful orchestra creation as if it was done in a big stadium or whatever it’s called or something lol Edit also the lyrics were very strong and powerful and dark in a way, but luckily the people who were singing it are of course on the good side Edit thanks so much for all the likes I’ve never had this many 0o0

“Those who love to write, become authors. Those that don’t love to write, make music” TheFatRat: Ummm…no

"We bring the war to them" This is one of the most badass lyrics line I've ever heard of.

Wow the starting was AWESOME!!!!!!

The bass, the vocals, Lindsey's violin... Gave me goosebumps I love it

You can't get your money's worth TheFatRat. An artist who makes such beautiful songs should have at least 40 million followers but... ;)

This should be a movie :0

Literally my favorite FatRat Song

Can we all appreciate, that this wonderful music can be used freely in videos .

i usually don’t like this type of music (like without any lyrics) but this is surely my exception, ITS SO NICE AND COOL

I used to love these guys back in middle school so seeing them all together like this is epic af

this has that final battle in an anime vibe

Godzilla vs Kong! ... this feeling is crazy

I've never had an album before in which I adored every single piece, every chapter carries such a uniquely harmonic and elegant vibe, this is more addictive than drugs.

The violin part sounds like those good medieval parties where knights dance with there ladies on a table.

This song has become my go-to test for audio equipment

Epic! Speechless. You told us this week will be "harder" - but this is truly epic! And you brought Lindsey 🤯🤯🤯

I love this song and the series. I cant wait to see what you make next!!!

Nothing is more pleasent to see your favourite artists collaborating to create a masterpiece

We listen to this before every Dungeons and Dragon session lol. Nice work all! You killed it!

This is the description of perfection

This song will be one of my memorable songs of TheFatRat. It gives me vibes of his old songs for some reason.

That moment when TFR combines stronger with monody and COMPLETELY nails it

This album is incredible so far. Such a wide variety of genres and all of them hit the mark. Great Job 👍
