Started up the butcher's circus eager to get in a fight... ended up sticking around in the main menu for 15 minutes just to listen to this

Heir “Powerful and courageous heroes have gathered. With their help we will destroy these eldritch horrors” Ringmaster “Or...We could just put them in a ring and make them fight to the death for our amusement”

The Butcher: Welcome to Butcher's Circus! Reynauld: Oh joy! What acts do you have? The Butcher: You all fight to the death! Dismas: *sigh* Of course we do...

The Butcher’s Circus music feels like the soundtrack to the last episode of season 1 if Darkest Dungeon were a tv series. It’s the grand finale, just before season 2 starts.

My Leper : CRITS The ennemy team : *HAH ! THE BUFFOON IS FLUMMOXED !*

Stuart Chatwood?More like Stuart CHADwood

I can only imagine what this man has in store for DD2!

This eerily reminds me of Don't Starve, with the melody composition, the occasional jazz organ in the background and... I can't quite put it into words. This piece is excellent.

There’s something brilliant about how lowkey haunting yet jolly this sounds.

"The campaign can wait, for now, CARNAGE CALLS..."

tfw your game crashed/desynched every time for the past 10 matches so you're just sitting in lobby listening to this soundtrack - the only part of the DLC that actually works

"The Ringmaster demands a challenger!" And also wow this piece is amazing.

You just... It just... HOW IS THIS SO GOOD!?

I really love how we can hear the Hamlet theme in the background !

Butchery and Bloodshed! Yet another beautiful piece!

The man, the myth, the legend... STUART CHATWOOD is BACK! Awesome work on this piece of the Darkest Dungeon OST, just like all the others.

The fact that this is actually a waltz is wonderfully devilish

This music really brings the sinister circus vibe I love it litterly just stayed in the lobby to listen to this another great piece of yours to listen too

I love the whole feel of the DLC, got shivers when I heard this for the first time.

Really nice OST, especially for something like this. It just fits extremely well knowing it's, well... A circus.

I needed more bleak circus music ever since I met the Grimm troupe in Hollow Knight. Thanks for sating that desire

My headcannon is that all the heros I don't recruit just end up here haha

I love that distorted Bounty Hunter

For some reason sounds like dont starve music, but even darker with the taste of Darkest Dungeon, the moment i heard it i knew its perfect, cant stop listening to it

Oh my god, this is legendary.

There's something just primal and instinctively intriguing about watching people fight to the death and seeing them draw one another's blood. Don't lie, since visiting the Butcher's Circus in _The Darkest Dungeon,_ you've wondered about what it'd be like to see such a performance in person.

I swear every thing on this soundtrack is gold. Is this coming to Spotify?

It's astounding how much music can create as an atmosphere alone. I catch myself humming this song the last couple of days haha

Despite the awesome music, mr. Chatwood has the ability to write tracks excellent for looping. I've listened Darkest Dungeon tracks again and again without getting bored or tired of them! And they perfectly fit with the atmosphere of the game. One more reason to look forward for Darkest Dungeon 2!

Had a dude surrender just because I pulled his vestal up front

I cannot imagine any other composer for Darkest dungeon than mr. Chatwood. There is no possible way to compose a theme, that would fit the circus of death better than this.

I've been humming this to myself periodically ever since I first heard it, excellent work

hey there, i'd like to make a quick thank you on how much you and wayne did such impeccable justice with darkest dungeon - without you two, the game wouldn't be the same. you've helped shape darkest dungeon into being one of my favourite games of all time! thank you so much for your work on this game and i eagerly anticipate what awaits in dd2!

This music is so cool. I'm actually working on a group for my D and D campaign and this music will work perfectly for their twisted circus/ carnival feel, thanks so much!

The contest BEGINS

its like a medieval festival! it sounds so sweet! thank you so much for sharing your talent with us stuart!!!!!

Greetings, Stuart. I'd like to say that your work on Darkest Dungeon was fantastic. This track, the Town in Chaos, and the Warrens are all fitting tracks and amongst my favourite. I also came to the realization that you just so happen to be a member, the bassist if I'm correct, of The Tea Party. My dad has been listening to you guys for a while now, as well as has attended a few of your concerts. Martin, Burrows, and yourself together create very unique music that has assuredly contributed to Canadian rock and music in general. It was very neat to learn that one of my favourite video games is scored by a familiar name. Cheers from a fellow Canadian.

"The campaign can wait, for now, carnage calls."

Into the maelstrom of death with great music following

This is my favorite music in the whole Darkest Dungeon, it feels like I'm standing a big circus tent and there are crazy but beautiful shows performing on the stage.

"A traveling bacchanal, a debauched contest of survival-the Butcher Circus is all this things, and more..."

Yet another masterpiece 😍

The campaign can wait! *For now,carnage calls!* (I love how this quote has a double meaning,because this is accessed outside the campaign,as it’s own separate mode,as if the ancestor is saying, “take a break from single player! This game has multiplayer now!”)

Heroes do not permanently die in the butcher's circus, but you may only have one of each in your party at a time.

One of the main reasons i love the new DLC, I love your work Stuart Chatwood, I know you’ll make Darkest Dunegons 2 incredible just as you did with the first one!!

And again a great music! A usual circus theme at first glance, but changed and twisted into a very unsettling melody, just like many other things are in the Darkest Dungeon. I definetly heard motives from other soundtracks. Thank you for another piece of awesome soundtrack!

Everyone's raving about the music as they ignore the fact that the heroes are being spaghettified on the left and right edges.

I was waiting for this one, thank you.

It captures the madness and twistedness of paying to watch people murder each other - that dark, shameful, yet almost exciting feeling of experiencing the departure of a soul.

Sick as always, looking forward to Darkest Dungeon 2 Soundtrack!

,,Stuart Chatwood ? Composer, master of madness...' ' AND THAT IS FACT

This track is great, man. I especially love the electric guitar version on the screen where you assemble your party. I just found out this content to DD existed two days ago, and I've been playing it nonstop. Your music adds so much to it. Look forwards to your work in the sequel!

A traveling bacchanal. A debauched contest of survival. The Butcher's Circus is all these things... and more.

You're one of the pillars that makes this game what it is. Thank you so much

Feel like this should be called, "Gorey Humor," and the battle theme should be named, "Slayers of Men."

Whether you’re preparing for your next match, celebrating a victory, or recovering from a loss, this piece perfectly captures and amplifies what the player is feeling. Masterful work, once again. Well done Mr. Chatwood ❤️

The campaign can wait. For now, carnage calls

Man, this creation of yours just blew my mind, i love it, you just really know how to create the perfect atmosphere for everything, been listening this nonstop since the DLC came out

"Welcome one and all to this most macabre evening of entertainment! This festive frenzy of fighting! We've quite the show for you, yes we do! I am your presenter, the ringmaster of revelry, the carnie of carnage, and I once more welcome you all too... THE BUTCHER'S CIRCUS!"

God dammit, it's probably the best OST of all Darkest Dungeon. I buyed the soundtrack pack on Steam, your work is excellent.

I remember playing Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, back when I was about 15. The music was stunning. I still listen to it from time to time. I looked up who composed this music. I found mr Chatwood. Then, some years later I found another great game - Darkest Dungeon. Music was stunning as well. Then i realized: Prince... DD... The same guy made music for both! And now, 15 years later we get this gem. I listen to it on a loop. It may be the best one from whole DD (and I do not say this lightly!). I can't get enough of it. Mr Chatwood - keep up your brilliant work - you're great and you should be known by everyone who has at least a little bit of music taste!

Honestly, I don't know how you do to produce such masterpieces each time M. Chatwood. !! Just the first notes completly blew me and now I'm just keeping in repeat without doing anything else ^^ Amazing work once again, Darkest Dungeon's OST have a wonderful future with you :D

when i knew that the composer of prince of persia Warrior within, the game that i loved the most as a child is the same man that did the ost for Darkest Dungeon i was shocked, and now with this new DLC i'm genuinely in love with your work, Thank you.

Yet again, you grace us with another masterpiece. Thank you very much, Stuart!

Oh MAN this is good. Thank you for blessing us once again.

Wow, Amazing work!! This encaptures the gleefulness of a circus with the mystery and eerieness of the Darkest Dungeon perfectly

Going mad in a whole new way! Thank you, Stuart!

Untill the very end this man keeps giving us astounding sountracks... music is so important

I don't know if I like this or Town in Chaos more, both are legendary. Amazing work

"The campaign can wait. For now, carnage calls!"

Thanks again Stuart for your work

Seeing Dismas and Reynauld about to fight each other makes me really sad.

Masterpiece! Love this one Stuart

As always your music is superb! thank you!

Another masterpiece. Thank you very much for your work.

Fantastic composition! It's so much more upbeat and lively compared to all of the other Darkest Dungeon music, yet somehow keeps the atmosphere of the Butcher's Circus in that oh-so-familiar "dark carnival" territory that lots of games seem to have these days. Well done, Mr. Chatwood!

Really like the sound of this one! It made me stay in the multiplayer lobby longer than i intended to

Holy shit the subtle things in this, like single whistles kill me this is so good

Beautiful piece! Fits the atmosphere of the circus perfectly.

I' ve been wondering what kind of music will be made for this DLC and I am happy that it is all I imagined it would be and more

Your music is a pretty powerful mindfuel, it's impossible not to think about a creepy circus with this theme. I feel the same with the Cove Battle theme, I even used it in a campaing of D&D to acclimate a fight in a ship. You are aweasome.

Alright... i have to buy this

Stuart, when you make a song it is brutally awesome. I can't wait for your song in DD2.

Dear Stuart. It's been a year and I still come to the circus just to listen to this song. It's absolutely stellar piece that captures the atmosphere perfectly. Thank you for this gift

My new favorite

it has been going around my head for days now! Absolutely love it man, keep the amazing work up;)

Darkest dungoen really has just about every aspect i seek in a video game, and im a sucker for lovecraftian vibes, but one thing i look for in every piece of media i enjoy is music, music can make or break a show or a game. And man, does the music in darkest dungeon exceed expectations with flying colors, especially this one, ill just sit in the lobby to listen to it sometimes lol

Woe betide to us all when your last song has been composed.. Aside that, a mastero blesses us with his dark craft of music! Beautiful and apt..

While i don't play the mode that often, i really love the musical track. It's like cheerful, but also incredibly sinister. Perfect for a circus that revolves around blood sport.

Spoilers of the final boss if you think about it, the butcher circus was an absolute godsend for the heart of darkness. Thing feeds off heroes dying doing heroic acts.

I'll admit, I was NOT expecting for the music to be so catchy (by that, I mean amazing to the point of just sitting and listening instead of entering the circus) when I first loaded up Darkest Dungeon that day. I'll admit, I'm not the hugest PVP fan, but this DLC has been awesome - I love the trinkets, I love the way the characters are different than they are in the base game, and of course, I LOVE this composition. Full of mania, cheer, and madness! Can't wait for DD2!

Sound exactly like should - loony circus with a lot of freaks and blood. Good job as always

Another fantastic piece! A bloody battle with the music to hype it up. Can’t wait to get my head smashed in!

Yo mr. Chatwood you are a literal god when it comes to soundtracks

Brilliant, as usual.

I really love that guitar. All of it is wonderful of course.

I SHALL PRAY TO THE DARK GODS AND THE COSMIC HORRORS TO HAVE YOU DO THE SOUNDTRACKS FOR DARKEST DUNGEON 2!!!

Just so good. No words to describe this

i love the music! it doesn't get old

Wonderful!
