thanks for all of the support on the video, it is much appreciated!

Troels here (did music producing and mix/mastering of the soundtrack, along with sound design for the game. Sophus did the composing of the soundtrack)Thanks a lot for making this Video and for noticing the music:) Have a grea day!

Ghost Ship Games: "It's just a game about space dwarves mining space rocks, you don't need to go that hard" Sophus:

"You never get to hear the end of The Descent" *Laughs in console*

"Run!" is probably my favorite song in the game

"Axes out" gets me boppin. "Interstellar horrors" gets my heart stoppin.

“Run!” Sounds like it came straight out of the Half-Life series, and I love it for that.

Thanks so much for the great review!

In my opinion "Robot Getaway" is the heart and soul of DRG OST, it's just so energetic and calm at the moments, it makes you feel like a true space dwarf :D And oh I wish there was a VR version of the game, the immersion with a proper soundtrack would be amazing... But anyway, almost every track in the game is great, it fits the mood and builds the atmosphere perfectly.

"Dance of the Dreadnought" surprised me when I first heard it play. It was a change of pace compared to the other tracks and felt like something epic was gonna go down. My all-time favorite would still be "Leave No Dwarf Behind" because it really feels epic as it builds up and reaches the crescendo of the track and fits the extraction phase of a mission.

"you never hear it because it's on loading screens" The only game when the loading screen is 'too short'

RUN! something about that haunting backdrop in the second half of it

*mentions Dance of the Dreadnaught* You are goddamn right....

12:15 "Axes out" is one of my favorite songs in this game. Yes, it's weird. But it reminds you that you are playing a dwarf on a deep space mission fighting giant bugs in enormous hollow tree biom. And there's nothing normal in it.

My favorite song has to be "Echoes from the Past", in Volume 2. To explain why it's my favorite I need to go in a bit of background. I love dwarves, a LOT. In every fantasy setting ever devised I will instantly align myself towards the direction of the dwarves or the race most inspired by dwarves. This track, in my opinion, perfectly encapsulates my love of the long-bearded short-men that dig dirt and rock stone. What sounds like a low-humming choir in the background with what I could only describe as the sprawling vastness of an underground stone-carved fortress backing it up perfectly summarizes my love for all things Dwarven. That ability to perfectly capture a theme and then gently shift it to perfectly mesh with the synthy vibes of the rest of the game is nothing short of miraculous and amazing. I could listen to this track all day, and night!

A Distant Terror is 100% my favorite out of the entire OST. It just gets you so PUMPED!

What got me hooked in the game was the music. I was so thrilled that I adjusted my music up and sometime later I had team mates shouting at me "Hey Montanhez, can't u hear my calls?"

"The Last Ascent" one of my fav soundtrack especially the sound of clock ticking tell you the drop pod ain't waiting forever, and the trumpet sound make you feel save your teammates and make Karl proud.

RUN! slaps the most by far. The addition of all the songs playing in sync for all players is nuts too. Always hear my mates shouting out the big beats to robotic getaway.

"Echoes from the past" is what gets me pumped up enough to fight off two bulks while destroying a dreadnought on haz 5. It just slaps that *hard*

my number 1 favourite track has got to be leave no dwarf behind. it just has this sense of tension and stress that fits so fantastically with the sporadic turn-tail-and-run feeling of leaving for the drop pod. it builds it up constantly and when it drops, it fucking SLAPS.

Your videos are so professional it blows my mind how you don't have thousands of subs.

Thank you for making this, it was a great 13 minutes of my day. For me, Deep Rock Galactic wouldn't be quite the same without Robot Getaway, it's iconic at this point and such a gem, as are all the tracks in their own ways. I feel props are in order for Mikkel, for the trust in young talent and brilliant direction, as well as to Troels, the sound designer who also helped with the music, and put it in the game in a such a seamless way it is quite remarkable.

Dance of the dreadnought is definitely my favorite. It has such a badass motivating feel to it.

"There are things in Deep Rock that I'd say don't get enough praise and one of those things just so happens to be the music." Dude. The music in DRG is easily one of the best things in it. I can't even imagine being without it and I often find myself sitting listening to it even when I'm not playing. When it comes to favorite songs, though, I think mine has to be track 16 from volume one; Leave No Dwarf Behind. I couldn't possibly tell you how many times I've had that play while running for my life towards the drop pod, hounded by all the glyphids ever. I like to play Gunner a lot and when the song hits 1.36 minutes in is the theme song for when I'm standing on the ramp to the pod, pouring fire into the horde while waiting for Molly to get in place.

As an engi, whenever axes out comes on I try to synch my shotgun blasts with the beat. Sets a good killing rhythm.

You're right, soundtrack 1 is a masterpiece but S2 is on a whole other level

"follow molly" was the track that convinced me to download the game.

Talking about The Descent It's on loading screens so you never hear the end... Me: looks at my chicken nugget PC boi are my team and I lucky Fr tho, I do get to hear the end of the song at times lul

Hold My Beard, how could you Ignore Hold My Beard? Legit though, I have some amazing memories with these songs! Axes Out being the First Swarm theme I heard from Soundtrack 2! (Played the Experimental and had a Blast doing so!) It's astonished what was accomplished with this Soundtrack and to the Quality, it reached too!

What I love about the soundtrack is that I don’t notice it all the time. And that’s not a bad thing. The reason I don’t notice it is because it just fits the mindset I’m in while I’m playing so perfectly, it just feels like any other part of the game. And the times when it does stick out are when it should, with the swarms and escapes.

Just to add, sound in central to good design in games. What the sound designer in DRG did for his first project like this is phenomenal. It gels extremely well with the ambients and other sounds in the game. DRG is my favorite recent game by a large stretch thanks to it's foundational design decisions.

One cannot talk about the music of Deep Rock Galactic without a mention of "Echoes From the Past". Of all the dwarfy songs in this game, it's by far the dwarfiest.

Man you are not allowed to make content this good and have so few subs. This is some top tier stuff

I absolutely love the entirety of DRG soundtrack, and "Into the Abyss" to me is like the theme song of the game and indifference of DRG to their workers. I used to take a deep liking in "Fathomless Tomb" due to how isolated it makes you feel (especially in solo missions), I've switched to the "Absolute zero" side however. It just sounds so... Out of place when put in comparison to other ambient musical tracks. It's so incredibly melancholic in a way, but hopeful at the same time. Speaking of extraction music, "Follow Molly" has to be that something i eagerly await at the refuelling stage on Salvage operations. This is the moment where it really shines, especially when put in the context of last stage in Elite Deep Dives.

What I especially love about Robot Getaway is the galloping synth. It adds this great sense of urgency and direction. Especially works great with the bleeping of Molly's markers. When I was playing for the first time and I hit the button on the MULE and this started playing I was hooked.

Dance of the Dreadnought was inspired by QOTSA?? My favorite track from the game! And it makes perfect sense. Now that you mentioned I can definitely hear it! I wonder if Josh Homme has played this game. :)

The Soundtrack is literally what keeps me playing the game. It is amazing, because it does the heavy lifting setting the tone with the dark atmosphere! A distant Terror is my favorite, but thats a tought choice! Your video editing is also great! Keep at it, its rare to see such quality with low subs!

I looked an hour ago on your channel because I remembered that video ,and just got the notification of it. What a coincidence.

If you ask me, A Matter of Skill and Ammunition is the theme for mule repair in sandblasted corridors

Yes! I was realy hoping you'd make a video on this games music because it really does a phenomenal job at immersing you into the hostile but beautiful envoroments of hoxxes. Rock and stone!

okay... dude... you have to stop being so f**king good at stylizing things. I can only fall so much in love. the frantic, glitch effects used for distant terror and the 4 unique filters used on dance of the dreadnaughts along with the gorgeous light effects on the absolute zero pannel just... GAH! ISTFG THESE VIDEOS ARE A YEAR OLD AND IM STILL HEAD OVER HEELS FOR YOUR STYLE

7:31 holy goosebumps. Your edits are so good dude! Best stuff since Every Frame A Painting ended on yt :)

I used to have robot getaway as my favorite, but after listening to the soundtrack many times I grew to have Leave No Dwarf Behind be my favorite. It became that just because of the one part that of the song that it builds up. This is timed so well most of the time with the time that you get to the drop pod with your team. This is also where you realize there is only 3 of you and you go back for the last dwarf, hence the name. It just makes going back and even being saved sound so heroic in a way and improves the experience by a lot for me.

5.26 Me: Having goosebumps while listening to that part and remembering hearing it when was joining DRG servers on my old DUAL core computer. :D Good song part, but im happy not to hear it anymore during loading. :)

OMG, I love this music.

Can’t believe this video is a year old. I keep coming back to this video because we’ll I love it and I love hearing you praise the good things in deep rock. Rock and stone brother

Dance of the dreadnought feels like it could very well fit into one of the newer doom games, when it plays during a swarm i notice myself playing more aggressively and i tend to use my mobility more just like doom music does in that game. Its really cool how much of a psychological efect music has on the player

In the Belly of the Beast and RUN (I love the Prodigy) always get my blood pumping. When I first heard Dance of the Dreadnought I didn't think it would fit with the rest of the soundtrack, but it's pretty killer in game. The only one I don't really like is Axes Out. It feels like a weird carnival ride track. It doesn't ruin the experience, but if I could disable one track out of both volumes that would be it. Over 400 hours in the game, and I still love the music. Great content so far! Just discovered your channel, and sat here watching all your DRG stuff in one go. I freaking love everything about this game, and I'm glad some people are making interesting videos for it. ROCK! AND! STOOOOOOOOONE!

I personally think “Axes Out” is amazing. With that build up during a horde, ohhhh man

Interstellar nightmares is one of my favourites from volume 2, its a synth wave organ that blares out when you hatch the dreadnoughts from their eggs. I think I like it so much because I had my music super loud when I first experienced it back when 1.0 came out. So the loud siren like organ sounds fit perfectly while me and my team were getting chased around a cave

I personally think "the last ascend" is the best extraction song. It's just this giant build up and drops with a whole orchestra cheering you on while you tear your way though hoards of enemies. It has something insanely empowering to it. It's best when your team just called in the pod and want to leave but suddenly there are dozens of spiders blocking your way and as you start the battle the orchestra kicks in.

Hearing "Run" kick in on my first liquid morkite mission while I was learning you could grind on the pipes is genuinely what made me stick with DRG. The absolute rush of adrenaline as the music swells and the swarm starts while you're riding up and down pipes through these twisting and dark caverns made me feel maybe the coolest I've ever felt in a video game

These videos man they are such a pleasant watch for passionate fans

i have no idea how to describe this, but I always come back to your DRG videos, this one especially, somehow the soundtrack and your voice is just insanely therapeutic, makes my brain happy, love whenever I get a notif that you’ve uploaded a new one

sniss: What is your favorite volume and song ? Me: YES !

Great video, the music of this game is one of the main reasons i started playing it besides the gameplay. the first time i heard Dance of the Dreadnought in the background of a video i immediatly shazam'd it, i listen to both volumes pretty much all day, it fits the game so perfectly and i'm absolutely in love with it. thank you for giving it some of the praise that it deserves.

Axes Out is my favorite song on the sound track. I can never not be happy when It's on, and it really does feel like a dwarf song to me.

Yet another really great and well edited vid, Rock and Stone brother!

Something else that can also not be praised enough, is the quality of your videos. The effort really goes to show. From what I’ve seen there’s a continuously - very high - quality standard and I’m amazed by that. I also want to point out the clear and calm narrator voice of yours. Good Stuff!

On the complete opposite end of this video's topic, your visuals this time were insane, dude. Great work.

“Follow Molly” is fantastic

I'll never forget my first time playing drg, the tone set by the music was a major part of that experience

Great analysis! DRG's soundtrack is not just some of my favorite video game music, but is some of my favorite music in general. I've got a playlist of all the ambient tracks that I listen to all the time while working on other stuff. I've been hunting for more music like it, but not much lives up to the standard GSG set. I'm not sure if I can pick a favorite, but I will at least shout out Echoes From The Past for being extraordinarily dwarfy.

"Deceived by Light" and "Into the Abyss" are my favorite tracks hands-down, followed closely by "Echoes of the Past" and "Absolute Zero". I love atmospheric tracks that really bring to mind the loneliness of Hoxxes during those rare quiet moments of exploration when the Dwarves are largely left alone by the swarms. The tracks played during swarms and escapes are still great background music for their respective roles, but as a horror buff who grew up with the Thing and Alien (and later Event Horizon) being counted among my favorite Sci-if horror films, I LOVE exploration of the unknown and the idea that the protagonists are truly alone out there. Even with support from DRG Mission Control, there are hundreds - thousands - of feet of solid rock/sand/ice/earth between them and the Mining Team. Also, it almost adds to just how deep and expansive Hoxxes feels when the first hostile warning you get during the lonely peace of one of the above songs is the echoing screech of a distant yet fast-approaching Mactera Grabber... or the soul-sinking quivering growl of a Detonator. :)

I cant stop rewatch this video. I would really watch more videos about DRG music, but its like you are the only one, who made a video about it.

I’m surprised that you didn’t talk about Ode to the Fallen at all, hoo boy do I remember the first time I walked into the memorial hall

I’m so glad you make these “____ of Deep Rock Galactic” videos. It helps address with detail the highlights of the game, and just how good it is.

Awesome Review! The Abyss, Deceived by Light and The Last Ascent remain my favorites.

fantastic video, rock and stone brother!

I am new to this game (player level 4) and I am loving it. Music, gameplay, and community are all so great. Thank you Sniss for these videos and thank you GSG for this work of art.

Fun video on an underappreciated part of games. Echoes From The Past is my favourite as it accentuates the grand scale of those truly huge caverns you find sometimes.

My favorite's gotta be "The Last Ascent". There's just something about the tone that's bleak, yet hopeful, desperate but courageous. I just love it.

Your editing is top notch man. Keep up the good work.

The music makes even the most dull things to do feel so cinematic. In salvage missions when the drop pod is charging up and getting ready to take you out straight up feels like the ending to a movie. The game wouldnt be the same without it

I am legit watching one of your DRG videos each night just to get the dopamine hit of "Robot Getaway" in the outro And for the great video quality ofc, but I'm rationing instead of binging

Good work honoring a great soundtrack. The music fits so well. Follow Molly and Run! are perfect.

Apart from RUN being my favourite track, the entirety of DRG's soundscape from Sountrack to steps, clinking Flares and bug screams echoing in the distance just makes it. Some people consider sound design an afterthought. But every single one of my favourite games uses sound to turn it from a good to a godly game. Don't sleep on proper sound design.

When I did my first hazard 5 game with my friends i turned my game volume up more so I can hear the sound cues of enemies. What I didn't expect was "Run!" To blast in my ears alongside the glyphid swarm noises. Full communication. Best teamwork yet. We Barely said a word but we were all working together to the intense synth beats like a well oiled machine. And I honestly don't think we would've beaten that mission if it weren't for that intense music accompaniment. One of my most memorable gaming moments ever! Rock and stone!

This is great. Thank you for this video telling about the background of the music in DRG! The music is a huge part of this game that makes it what it is, but you're right that probably not many people pay much mind to the music itself while playing the game. So thank you for showcasing some of the really awesome tracks by themselves. Its unique to hear them while not playing the game and its really cool. Rock and Stone Brotha

“The Shadows are Moving” is so atmospheric and the beginning notes create a sense of dispense, I am in love with it.

“Echoes of the past” and “Deceived by light” are kickass. Every song in the game just bops, fits the gameplay and atmosphere beautifully yet it’s unique. Great video! I’ll hope to see you in the caves, rock and stone!

Every vid is a win with you bro! I love your content man. Any time you wanna dive I'm down bro!

Yo Sniss, ive been playing quite a bit last week. im absolutely blown away by the volume 2 soundtracks, i played this game a bit on early access but i agree the music really hooked me properly this time. My favourite tracks are by far are A distant terror & Run! , i really cant choose :) Thx for ur great videos man!

Your channel is incredibly underrated, your videos are qualitative and I have no doubt that you will receive the visibility you deserve. Force to you :)

Music and sound can make a game. It's so important. DRG is amazing in that until this video, I never realized there was so much music. It's all very iconic, and hearing the bits you played, I immediately recognized them, just never thought much about the sheer quantity of songs.

I watch your drg videos and I check your subs and view counts and I am blown away by how little it is, don’t worry tho the algorithm will pick you up some day and you’ll instantly rise

The latter half of "the last ascent" is one of the most inspirational tracks in the ost for me, hearing that play while running for extract from a swarm is one of the best experieces I can have in this game.

That's CRAZY, I had no idea about this whole story about the music in DRG- but I was in the space rig one day or in a match and I'm like "I swear this sounds a lot like the music in John Carpenter's The Thing" and then I continued to pay greater attention to the music and sound and I was like "Naaaah, it couldn't be" But now cause of this video I'm so glad I realized it was actually a direct point of inspiration. I love that. The Thing is a fantastic film and the score behind it really had an eerie feel to that movie which added a slow burn tension to it that really fit the central concepts and atmosphere of isolation and mistrust. That same sense of isolation translates REALLY well into DRG.

I can't believe you slept on In The Belly Of The Beast so hard. God tier swarm song, and my current ringtone :)

Run and beneath the crust are two songs that are easily my fav. I love how run gets you excited for that big fight and then beneath the crust oh my the tune is just so satisfying to listen too.

I never knew what the names to all the songs where, but when you started talking about robot getaway and how it is "the deep rock galactic song' I knew immediately which one it was

Really well done, excited to see what else you've got to show us next!

Dude I love ur vids i think they're funny :) . also my fav song is "Run!"

Thanks for making this video

Every swarm track has me cackling like a madman and screaming "COME AND GET SOME", they're so fucking good

The intro to Distant Terror and Run always gives me goose bumps. On a side note you only have like 6 videos on DRG and pretty sure I've watched them all a dozen times. Your editing and narration is awesome. 👍

Fathomless Tomb caught me by surprised when i had my headset on and was playing with my husband and his cousin. Heard the 3min part and was just baffled, the made caves feel so.......magical, melancholy, and just something worth exploring.

March of the brave Is one of my favorite tracks when running to the drop pod.

As a music composition major, I have focused a ton of music in games. The music in DRG is incredible. I could talk about a ton of stuff but that would take forever to type 😂 I really like the way Run is made. There is such an intense urgency to it! Thanks for the video!
