This song gave me chills. Also it has both Laterano element (electronic/dubstep) and Leithanian's element (classical), as Arturia is a Laterano origin (angel people) and now resides in Leithanian.

Dear Hypergryph: IF EVIL WHY HOT?

This song is such an absolute banger. The buildup, the slow start with the first verse, and then the chorus with the fusion of genres out of nowhere, and it all works so perfectly together

This song made me reveal how down bad I am

The other song that was doing exposition in the beginning is "Before & After"

In the lore she is one of the fallen angels that went to Liethania to study music. Country of angels is cyberpunk-ish and their sound themes are electronic for those lore reasons, while Liethania is basically Austria and their casting system is intertwined with music, so their themes are inspired by classic music. So it is only logical that her theme would be something like edm-symphonic mix. Also she is a cousin to Executor, his theme is Stained, so you could find some familial connections in their soundtracks )

I think the other Arknights song this reminded you of was "Before & After". I was also quickly reminded of that piece when I saw first heard the narration here.

Before & After is the song you are looking for I believe.

I'd also recommend you to check out this new event (in CN) battle theme. There are 3 battle themes and each of them are so good.

I’m glad you reacted to this one so quickly, it’s been stuck in my head since it dropped. Always love to hear what you have to say about these tracks. Hope to see you talk about Illuminate soon because it’s another Gubman song.

Now that You've listened to this i suggest listening to the Operator Lessing's OST which came from the same event as this one's~ it will remind you a lot of stuff when you listen to it so i won't say which genre it's in~❤

Wait I just realised how come this only appeared in my few now when it's been out for weeks.

I don't know if you want to call her evil as her power is to let people be real with themselves By doing so her mom went in to a battlefield as a photographer to stop a war, to help people who needed help in the field by bringing back photo to raise the bond for soldier And she died And that's why our executor has been trying to kill her since

If warcriminal why banger music?

CONTINGENCY CONTRACT IS COMING BACK = NEW SONG

@Catharsis please listen to "come catastrophes or wakes of vultures boss battle theme"

Im excited to see you react to Settle to Ash.

Da da da is stuck in my head

In during Arturia simps begging her to play them like her cello.

WOULD WOULD WOULD

This song made me fail NNN.

I'm slightly (extremely) biased* but I was actually left feeling quite hollow after I first listened to this. The main problem is that I listened to all the actual in-game event BGM first, which is all so much more lively, powerful, vivid, and in my opinion a somewhat better example of the kind of orchestra + pop/edm thing they were going for with this event and Arturia in particular. (this event's bgm is kinda similar to the chapter 11/steam knight boss theme, i think the one with the long old english title i'm not even gonna try to remember) Leithanien's whole theme musically speaking is big orchestral compositions, while Laterano's is a wacky hybrid of church choir/organ and dubstep. Laterano does have a little bit of pop in some of its music but usually it's balanced out fairly well so I'm not left listening to a gaping abyss where there could be several more instruments doing something interesting. Unfortunately I feel like Hypergryph leaned just a little too far onto the modern pop side of the equation for Revealing, especially compared to the event BGM. I'm not the hugest fan of the way the melody flows either, but that's a much smaller gripe. I mostly wish the song fit in a little better alongside its contemporary Laterano- and Leithanien-inspired pieces where overall weight, power, and complexity are concerned. *While I'll be the first to admit I simply despise the stale flatness common in modern pop-type songs, it's not like I hate every individual song based on that alone. This particular case is only so egregious because of the rest of the music that released alongside it from the very same in-game event the song is related to. This particular song is ok, I just think it's surrounded by vastly better things in the form of the event BGM.

is it just me who found the chorus part cringe?
