I didn't think I would be this impressed by Stellar Blade music again after the video I did on the Abaddon theme. Btw, have you watched that one? It's over here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iaeXfqiJv7LbXZ8.html

I think the reason why they went with more opera is for a few reasons. One, this boss is a collection of many people who died in the war of the Orbit Elevator so these are a group of people who were just about to reach their safe paradise but got killed. As such it's more organic feeling than the rest of the monsters and by in-game lore is the embodiment of resentment and rage. There is also an opera house in the remnants of the civilization on Earth so I think opera is somehow part of the culture of the people and the location this boss in might suggest these were the remnants of the upper class of society. Design-wise its almost lovecraft-ian in how horrific and large the monster is so the levels of disturbing nature makes sense. Hope that helps!

This boss is an amalgamation of humans who are filled with bitterness and resentment. The main character becomes keenly aware of this pain and fights the boss to free it from that agony. That's why the soundtrack here is so fitting. It sounds like a lament or a dirge in the beginning, and towards the end, it takes a heroic turn in the tone as the fight comes to its close.

Lyrics : Void ov aen'dies eordt Deordt oer'ta Blinded by light, far beyond the skyline In a dance of death, the phantoms entwine Invisible chains of despair and pain constrict the world's very heart Clouded by murmurs of grief, drowned in a thousand laments The azure of mind is torn and sublimed by torments In this nightmarish rain, the silence roars We are trapped in the choir of chaos, yet redemption calls from the depths of a miracle Ei'qo! Nor'qo! A cosmic masquerade dreams long to evade, ab aeterno Blinded by light, far beyond the skyline In a dance of death, the phantoms entwine Invisible chains of despair and pain constrict the world's very heart Clouded by murmurs of grief, drowned in a thousand laments The azure of mind is torn and sublimed by torments In this nightmarish rain, the silence roars We are trapped in the choir of chaos, yet redemption calls from the depths of a miracle Ei'qo! Nor'qo! A cosmic masquerade dreams long to evade, ab aeterno Lost and broken words unspoken Bound in the endless flow of darkness Through elation, seek salvation For freedom will fry, ad astra By Pernelle

The reason why the music for this boss is so high scale is because it's not the actual boss you are fighting, once you defeat it you find out it's only part of the actual boss which has taken over the entire space station and it's basically a gigantic seraphim.

This game gas two very big reasons that are inviting me to buy it. The OST and combat seem top notch

you NEED to react to the final boss theme

One of my favorite things about Davi Vasc is he talks about the theory of music. It sets him apart from other music reactors. Talking about things such as interesting time signatures, or which happy, sad, or tense chords are used, is really interesting, as least, to me. Do more of it! I love it!

damn u can pick any song from stellar blade ost n get blown away - they all r STELLAR

Here is the lore regarding this boss for those interested. I've beaten this game 4 times, btw. The game is phenomenal. Democrawler Many died in isolation throughout the facility during the battle for the Orbit Elevator. In the center of the devastation at the Central Core, people lost their lives while staring longingly out at their beautiful Colony hometown, It's no surprise that, when Naytibas infected their corpses, a horrific embodiment of resentment and rage was born.

Amazing video as always! This music gave me the grand beauty of Soulsborne music and the melodic and heroic vibe of JRPG music. The atmosphere of the opera can be dramatic and grandiose, but at the same time it gives you the overdone and comical feelings. But in this music, it feels like those feelings are perfectly balanced to create madness and drama. I haven't played the game yet, so I don't know the context of this fight, but I was blown away!

You're not ready for the final boss theme which is my top 1st favorite above democrawler theme

Somehow this boss reminds me of ludwig,the holy blade from bloodborne. If i'm not wrong the director of the game said he was inspired by several games like nier automata,bloodborne and sekiro. The sword glows with the same colour as ludwig's holy sword

Everyone, TURN DOWN EFFECTS VOLUME in the game or you won’t be able to hear the music as well. I didn’t change volume settings when I played and did not get this experience. Now I’m playin thru again with only the music on.

Ugh this game gives you the best music to kick ass to. The fight-fuel these tunes provide adds so many levels of fun to this game

raven theme of stellar blade is amazing.. but also many enviroment themes that are very good

Thanks for another great analysis, Davi. I have not played the game, but what I've seen of the boss in your video reminds me of what the Reapers in Mass Effect did to other sentient creatures - transforming something organic to a horrific amalgamation of their former selves. The soundtrack's continuous plunge from classical opera to an electronic version of itself, to me, signified that.

This track is so insane. Best trCk of the year

I've been waiting for you to cover this track. To me, it's the is the best in the game

Yas bby, give Stellar Blade's OST the love it deserves. Still think you need to do the Tachy theme next!

Yes more. I was waiting for another video on stellar blade

I was like "this sounds like Soken had a son hwo's a composer as well" and then you said in the same part but the second time it plays "doesn't it sound a bit like a Soken FF soundtrack?" 😂

Sou um fã brasileiro q ta sempre acompanhando suas análises por aqui. Obrigado por mais um ótimo vídeo ❤

Man this game has a lot of good music. The final boss theme, Belial, and flooded commercial sector, the wasteland, and Xion are all amazing. i hope you react to one of them

The final boss theme « elder naytiba » might be my favorite boss music I’ve ever heard on par with ff7 one winged angel

This is the first exposure I've really had to this game and tbh the soundtrack alone is enough to get me looking into it. I wish I could've made out the lyrics a bit better, I feel like those are pretty important in songs like this. Definitely in English, though. Any chance we could get a video on the Hades II soundtrack, now that it's in Early Access? Coral Crown and Song of the Sirens are both phenomenal.

raven has a very good boss fight theme

Stellar Blade has some pretty good OSTs. Could check out Elder Naytiba’s theme

this is a very cool OST, it's trying to be everything all at once and it's actually succeeding lol

Oh, hi Davi! Suggestion (it's not Blasphemous finally, jajaja, although I'm still waiting a video for at least one track hopefully 🙏): so yeah, Song of the Sirens form Hades II , you can truly feel the song doing its work, incredible track, beautifully hypnotic. I'm loving some tracks from Hades II, specially the ones from this 'group' ;).Video: Oh Davi, this one is an incredible track, I really like opera so that also helps, but yeah amazing song, I'm happy I saw this video, great as always, I really enjoyed it!. Well, that's it, don't forget to check out Blasphemous 1 or 2 OST 🥺, jajajajajajaja, and ofc Hades II. ¡Adiós Davi!

Hi, i really love your videos. I like to hear about how you talk about musical techniques and the mood of melodies. How do you feel when you try to make out Paul Romero's compositions from the Heroes of might and magic games?

Man loves it at phase 2 hahahaha, his face was exactly my reaction too, you love to see it.

Hades II OSTs perhaps? There's some bangers already, would recommend main theme (Death to Chronos) or Crossed Flames as first intros

Davi, would you consider covering some music from Banjo Kazooie/Tooie? Mr. Patch, Freezeezy Peak, Klungo, Click Clock Woods, Cloud Cuckooland. Thanks for what you do.

the final boss theme also has Opera on it and I think it's worth checking out

I honestly didnt notice there was boss music until i saw his reaction to the soundtrack of Abbadon's boss fight. Was locked in making sure the various very scary, very sudden attacks dont land...to little succes.

Awwww yeeeee, my favourite one!

I interpreted this music for this fight as, the mixed emotions of the souls in one functioning being, like happy, angry, and sad. Then the second phase seemes like they form one goal to defeat the main character.

Unidentified Naytiba is my fav boss track. Hope you give it a listen.

Yes the musical score Jiggle and jells with the gameplay, im listening to the score right now. it on Spotify

The game does a neat thing with its OST where the instrumentals do the storytelling for you. You don't really get to appreciate it without already knowing the full story, so SPOILERS: As you progress throughout the game, you come to discover that the wars of the past can be summarized into cybernetic androids vs organic humans, and the game starts in a time where androids have had their memories rewritten to believe they are the humans, while the organic humans have all undergone genetic mutations to survive extinction in the war against androids, becoming the Naytiba. Musically, enemies Eve perceives as good guys = orchestral instrumentals, while the bad guys are given the more metal/synthesized parts. Almost all the boss tracks will have some mixing of both, since they're all some form of fusion or parasitization of one to the other. Abaddon being one of the first bosses falls in line with her worldview, being mostly metal/electronic- incoherent and chaotic. The second Alpha's track is melodic and uniform in comparison based on their past relationship, and this is when Eve's perception of the world starts to get challenged. As the game progresses and Eve discovers the origins of organic humans and cybernetic androids, the lines between good and bad begin to blur as she begins to redefine humanity for herself. The Democrawler is one of the last bosses Eve faces during her disillusionment near the end of the game, and she comes to empathize with the flesh and metal housing the consciousness of countless humans and androids. The beginning of the track addresses the tragedy and humanity in their situation, and then picks up with the metal/electronic as Eve gets closer to putting the thing out of its misery, sort of echoing the android's triumph over humanity in the past. The rest of the boss tracks become more streamlined in their operatic/orchestral = organics and vocaloid/synthesized = android dichotomy as Eve's worldview develops further.

It's amazing how I played the game but it feels like you know more about this boss than me by just listening to the song.

I feel like you'd LOVE the Elder Naytiba boss theme if you ever get around to it!!

2024 GOTY!!!!

東方の曲のピュアヒューリーズをやって欲しいです。めっちゃラスボス感があってかっこいいです

You MUST DO the final boss, tachy , raven, and providence I think is really good but some ppl don’t agree w me on that lol

The singer name is Pernelle, if anyone curious about her.

Do the cords usually play identically with the vocalists voice? Is there anything different about the notes and pitches that the vocalist is using? Their drawn out lows are really intriguing to me.

Hi, I recently watched all your Undertale music videos, and I don't know if you'll see this comment But will you ever listen to Undertale Yellow soundtrack? It's very close to quality of original Undertale soundtrack. Ost from Undertale Yellow that I specifically want to recommend is called "Mother's Love"(would be cool if you listened to it with a scream sound effect it has in the game, gives you chills!)

Please do primal dialga theme in pokemon mistery dungeon its the best theme I heard in all my life

I would like to recommend Kosei Shishido's final boss themes from Like a Dragon Gaiden: The man who erased his name

I feel like those are slow triplets as opposed to truple meter in 3/4

Getting Nier Automata vibes!!

The funny thing is it reminds me of a james bond intro song.

Aliens

Hi Davi, can you react to the Deep Rock Galactic OST? RUN! and Dance of the Dreadnought are particularly good in my opinion

New Elden Ring DLC trailer dropped, I think you'll like the music, it's unlike anything you've ever heard from a Souls game

Keiichi Okabe is still the undefeated GOAT of video game music

please react to the elder naytiba ost

Keiichi Okabe is super amazing

Can you pleeeease listen to the champion’s gravetender from Dark Souls 3??

Wrong, the intro battle ost is the best where they put all thier budget in 😂

This has nothing to do with the video itself, but I would like to give a suggestion. PLEASE listen to some Thymesia soundtracks, they need to be talked about

I think the songs are in an unknown language mixed with English gibberish. I hear it everywhere on their soundtrack, you feel like you understand what they are singing yet when you really pause and listen, the lyrics don't make sense and sounds gibberish. Not complaining though, I like it being ambiguous like that.

where's the lore connoisseur in the comments?

It took you a long time analyzing the first half of the song that you only saved the best part of the music for the last third of your video. I kept waiting for the beat to drop but you kept rewinding before the best part. 😅

Can you react to the main theme of super smash bros brawl

Have you evaluated "A Cup of Liber-Tea" before? It's the main theme from Helldivers 2.

Deltarune rude buster.

Level of disturbance: Dark Souls, Bloodborne. Nice definition

"Is this English?" Basically what I'm noticing in a second Korean game now. First one being Lies of P. Amazing music, but some incredibly broken English that straight up sounds like made up words.
