I was doing a salvage mission once and Fathomless Tomb kicked in right as I turned the corner to see the abandoned drop pod sitting there. Chills.

I know it's a video game. But I can only imagine what it's like being the first dwarf to lay eyes on a cave in a planet no one hardly knows about. Absolutely awesome animation!

This track always brings to mind all the Dwarves lost in the depths of Hoxxes, and how the planet serves, well, as a fathomless tomb, a burial site beyond comprenension. Rest in peace you beautiful bastards, Karl'd be proud.

This is a simple animation. This is a complex feeling.

It’s amazing although how funny, chaotic, and knee slapping DRG can be a lot, it’s moments like these you stop and just listen and just soak in the feeling and nature of the world you as a dwarf are in. This song just radiates the energy of those who came before you, to those who didn’t make it back to the drop pod, to those who were lost in the unforgiving planet’s clutches. This one’s for our fallen brothers. Rock and stone forever lads, rock and stone.

As a grizzled greybeard with over 1500 hours in the caves, I lost my sense of awe and wonder at the beauty of the game a long time ago. This video reawakened a little bit of it for me though, and for that I thank you

When you realize you're just a small Dwarf in a giant cave, on a desolate planet floating through a vast sea of nothingness. Nothing but the sound of your pickaxe chipping away at a gold vein in the dark, cold abyss. A calm but empty feeling washes over you. Then a dreadnaught spawns in.

Where Leaf Lovers or Humans might see the caves of Hoxxes as claustrophobic death traps, I think this track shows how the Dwarves view them. In a way, caves and other geological structures are just the architecture created by the planet itself, waiting for billions of years for someone to comprehend and admire its beauty. Just trying to find the right words to put to this track, amazing animation!

Fathomless tomb does make you feel like your in a very big and very empty cavern

It's almost poetic, how a chaotic, designated planet as Hoxxes can store such beauty inside it, and you, as a DRG employee, get tasked to explore and work in and around it. It's so near to perfection, it brings tear to the eye.

Awesome animation, only just found your channel today. Rock and Stone!

perfectly describes how it feels to play DRG alone because all your friends are at work

I love the game's atmosphere so much, it can be both silly, epic and serene when it wants to be

I remember playing the game with some friends a few weeks ago in the radioactive exclusion zone. The pod dropped, we walked out into a small spawn, and our driller went ahead into the dirt. We kept waking through small, claustrophobic caves and at the end of it was the largest, most beautiful cave I’ve ever seen in the game. A 160m cave that stretched across into a pitch dark, spots of green glowing everywhere. Stone had formed into natural bridges and pillars, creating something like a giant web. We spent over an hour in there and I always remember it when this song plays. Great video!

when this piece of music starts playing, something jams inside of me, and it's like I feel like the souls of all the dwarves who died here, holding me by the shoulder and saying, "You can, we couldn't, but you can." And from this it becomes sad on the soul.

I feel a little more sorrowful whenever this comes on. Quite a powerful track really.

Having this kick on in a max complexity azure Weald cave really hits different

this game has a beautiful soundtrack and it's highly underappreciated,, you may not really even pay attention the ambiance music half the time, but it truly adds so much to the game and all its locations very neat animation :o] !!

This song reminds you that despite all the gire and bloodshed. Despite how inhospitable everything is, hoxes is still an ecosystem. a living, breathing ecosystem. Full of pulsing veins and beating hearts, larger than you could ever comprehend. And even though it's cruel, it's still beautiful.

To those we lost, and to those that were left behind. We salute you, Rock and stone brothers!

This is how I felt hearing Ode to the Fallen for the first time after loosing a Greenbeard driller who begged to be left behind. Me (engineer), a greybeard scout and a greenbeard gunner were at the drop pod at the 3 minute mark when I see the driller's been downed. He'd tried to drill to the drop pod but was out of fuel and had to go the long way round. He begged to be left behind, saying there was no point in saving him. I disagreed. 2:30 were left. I alone ran what felt like miles to save him, running through and around Haz 5 levels of swarms to get him. I got to him, got him up and we had to effectively climb Mt. Everest to get to the drop pod. I have never been so on point with my platforms as I scaled it like a mountain goat with the driller close behind. Just before we reached the summit he stumbled slightly and fell behind, but not by much as I ran around the corner to the drop pod. 10 seconds were left I made it to the ramp to the pod and looked back to see him turn the corner, only to see a grunt blindside him at 1 hp. I saw him fall and I felt my heart do the same. There was nothing more I could do. I had no time, no field medic and no backup. It was with a shamed turn that I left him and boarded the drop pod at the last second. As much as it pained me, it was better to lose only one dwarf and not two. I'd lost brother's before, but they knew what they were doing and why they decided to fall. That driller didn't deserve his fate. I still have disturbed nights over it. Before every promotion I buy an oily oaf and salute his statue as both a sign of respect and so that the music can properly kick in. He will not be forgotten. No more shall I ever allow dwarfs to be left behind. His statue shall forever stand proud in the memorial hall. Rock and Stone.

Very nice animation. Rock and Stone!

I'm 99% sure that players who download music mods in Deep Rock Galactic don't even realize how beautiful the original music is

Fathomless tomb plays most often when im playing solo. Edit: Mar 16 i finished my first ever Deep Dive solo!

Driller has seen the whole universe for less than a minute. He is already plotting the best direction to go and warcrime it all at once

Fathomless Tomb is the reason why I keep the music turned on while playing missions

This track never made me feel sad, just… maybe a bit lonely? A touch of understanding of just how small you, your team, this cave… all of Hoxxes is. Someone back home is crafting and maintaining plasma hammers for a living. Someone else is running their own bar and brewery in a satellite station over Baros III. Back on the homeworld, momma’s probably still making ironbuck grits, flavoring it with the local berries… Here I am. On Hoxxes IV. I am a humble miner. Isn’t it strange how far apart we are, but how much we know about each other?

There’s something about the aspect ratio that makes this video feel so magical and beautiful to me, like it touches my soul. I don’t know exactly what it is, maybe it’s from the nostalgic feeling of looking at an old album cover, or watching a 20 year old cartoon episode on a box TV. At any rate, awesome video! Rock and stone, brother!

To be honest I watched this video and didn't get it on first... then few days later I was alone on a mission, just another day at the office, and this music started and I realized omg this is that song that video with Driller was about... I was exploring the cave and everything was so quiet and empty and this music gave such a powerful feeling. So I am back here to like the video and say I get it now. This music as the game is Epic... rocks and stones you beautiful dwarfs!!!

This is amazing, whys it got so little attention???

Man I broke through dirt once and came into one of those absolutely massive cave formations on Crystalline Caverns just as Fathomless Tomb hit and I had to rethink the everything right then and there

Had a magma core solo mission once. This track started playing. Just... no enemies spawned. For so long. It was Hazard 3. That felt so surreal.

This is probably one of the first deep rock animations I've seen, miner. Rock and Stone

When I heard of DRG's sound designer Troels leaving, I immediately came back to this video; just the right vibe of what listening to this amazing soundtrack is like.

Today I was doing a mission in Azure Weald. As I was mining with a lootbug and my Steeve next to me, this music kicked in. And at that moment. I looked around. For the first time, I finally got time to appreciate the beauty of this ecosystem the game offered us. The lighting, the noises of the wildlife. It all blended in perfectly. Just think about it, how beautiful this ecosystem is. The lighting, The landscapes, the fauna and megafauna. It all blends into creating the feeling that there is more out there , waiting to be uncovered.

This animation plus someother videos is what got me into DRG! ROCK AND STONE!

DRG made me appreciate dwarves more in fantasy. I never didn't like them, they were just kinda a thing I knew was iconic, but now I am to the level I would straight up play as a Male Dwarf (as a female) because I love DRG and would model him after their ideologies. I love these little dwarves.

This was the first thing i had ever seen of deep rock galactic and it convinced me to start playing. Thank you so much.

The perfect depiction of realising the beauty of something and taking time to appreciate it. I love this so much~

Hope the algorithm blesses this masterpiece soon. Amazing job on the animation!

God this game is so good, seriously this game was designed to be fun, for enjoyment and the soundtrack is just a cherry on top on this metaphysical cake, Ghost ship games should be proud of what they made

The splendor of such mystic environments forever away from home is what I love most in this game. Each biome a busy beauty of its own

Ah, so this is where that close-up meme originated from. Very well done.

A song moment like this is the same energy as right before a big storm. The silence, the calm. It's eerie but...comforting. Feeling the only sound in the world being the wind around you. No animals, no people...and then it rains.

still one of the finest DRG videos to date

ambient music always draws out more emotion in me than any song with lyrics ever could. Fucking love the soundtrack to DRG.

0:25 i like how it doesn't just fade out to him being alone. molly's still there with us, no matter what. (unless it's point extraction or refining, then what can ya do)

Beautiful animation matching an equally beautiful soundtrack. Hope you make more of these, though the pure magic of this seems pretty hard to beat. Thank you for blessing the DRG community with this work of art.

I never even listened to this properly when playing but this gave me chills

I love the occasional solo run in this game. When it's just you, basco and molly, alone against the frightening, but beautiful Hoxxes lV. Really a chance to chill and just enjoy

The animation and character design are adorable.

A hushed whisper would escape my lips… “Rock and Stone…”

The Y tube algorithm functions in mysterious ways. I'm lucky to have found this gem today. Nice work m8.

I remember going in wide open places in biomes that have some kind of natural light sources, (i.e. Magma Core with the geysers and molten rock. or the Azure Weald with it's bioluminescent plants) I sometimes turn off the headlamp and let myself be completely surrounded in darkness. As I look at the silhouettes of the environment in the distance and when this song plays, I sit there awestruck at the beauty that these cave systems have... Then Management tells me a swarm is coming so it's back to work .

Every time I hear this track I remember entering a cave full of crystals, it was massive, and the light of the glow rocks and my flares made me stop, the song practically echoed through room, and despite there really not being much in it of value, I still took my time and just enjoyed how beautiful the game could be

Dude, this is straight up amazing. Rock and Stone!

This track speaks to me in a deeply emotional level, It makes you ponder about the tragedies of the past, to think about the moral choices you had to take to reach the point you are at right now. I just adore the feeling of melancholy it gives off.

Every time this gem pops back up onto my recommendation list I really do feel like a green beard seeing a large in explored cavern again!

oh tu, aun recuerdo cuando jugabamos hace ya bastante tiempo. gran animacion.

Sometimes I wonder if the music of Hoxxes is actually an in-universe detail, wherein the caves are so vast and complex, sounds trickle in from many sources to create a symphony at will

got to be honest you're kind of a legend for posting this because you've perfectly described how I feel when music like that plays

Rock and stone for the sound designer who has now left Deep Rock Troels Rodhe Jørgensen. You absolute legend.

This is pure art. A perfect mix of srt and music.

Every dwarf has gone into the abyss. To those who experienced it, a moment. To those who lived and died by it, a memory.

God, dude, this is fuckin excellent. As a drg enjoyer and a vgm nerd and an animation enjoyer, this checks a lot of boxes for me. Fire.

For me it sounds like the music you can hear in an aquarium. It's absolutely beautiful, my favourite ost from DRG

This was amazingly well done. I loved the different use of styles, too, brilliant execution!

This is art.

I straight up listen to this ost while playing other games, and at work. Tell me.. how does one react to Absolute Zero? (Those icy chimes man.. so good.)

Nice work at the animation, well done. And yeah, Fathomless Tomb is just so good.

Thank you for this one :') beautiful

Nice animation man, perfectly represents how I felt when I first heard this as I was mining.

I have an existential crisis everytime I hear this song. Even in amidst the absolute chaos of hazard 5 where ONE mistake could easily be the end for you (which I think is the true nature of Hoxxes if we were there in real life), I have to take a moment to really soak up the emotion in this track. Whereas almost every other tracks are dark synth and electronic to pump your andrenaline up, this one stands out from the rest to me as the only track that does not do exactly that. It reminds me, that as chaotic as this game and life can be, there are certain moments where you stop and suddenly feel that there are beauty in the nature of this world, its good and evil, light and dark, everything is in sync, one cannot exist without the other because they are 2 faces of the same coin. Everything you do is meaningless to the beauty of the vast unknown, if it weren't for the ones you love and care for, why do you even try right? Truly, a Fathomless Tomb.

I was so invested at watching and experiencing the sentimentality of this masterpiece of expression that I got jumpscared by the explosion at the end

I was doing a mining expedition alone once, around the time when I first picked up the game on sale, and I found a some lost gear. When I drilled into the room with the gear this song hit, and combined with my dwarf saying "Rest in peace, Whale-piper. We'll get your gear home," it left an experience I doubt I'll forget. To the fallen, brothers.

This track gives you that feeling that dispite being on an extremely hostile panet that is being constanly hit by meteors, microwaved by ita parent star and inhabitated by alot of chaotic wild life that for the moment it has found a peeiod of calmness and peace, and thats why i think this is the best non swarm music in the game

i freaking love fan animations of this game, man... i wish i could animate 😢

For those about to rock and stone... We salute you.

You are not the first, you are not the last, but you are a miner, explorer, and dwarf. Rock and stone.

One time I was mining while this song was playing. The choir part only played for a few seconds before it was rudely interrupted by a swarm notification

Yesss... more of this, please.

IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE NAME OF THIS TRACK FOR SUCH A LONG TIME THANK YOU THANK YOU, also great video!

im glad this video continues to be recommended to me

Now this, is true quality animation. Even though you have to deal with some random ass bugs chasing you, this game has its "special" moments like this. Anyways this is quite short but nice. :)

This track heavily disturbs me, as it makes me think of my beloved mother and the time i don't spend with her as of now as i play DRG, and also i think of my own funeral... This track hits me harder than real life.

The funny thing is I saw this animation a few months before I actually played the game and it really is so accurate

dude i had the exact same reaction, was in a super pretty cave then this track started and i just stopped and took it in... was like woooooooh music really speaks to your soul man

Hearing this part of the track for the first time is a spiritual experience. There's a sort of melancholic majesty to it.

Beautiful animation! Loved the ending lol

Every mission I load into, I think about the cave ahead of me and it fills me both with interest and sometimes a little dread (too many’s 3s of late). And every mission I leave a spend a moment to think of what I just left. It’s amazing to think you will never experience the same exact cave you just went though, but at the same time the feelings of Deja Vu do happen from time to time. Such a great game.

Every once in a while i run across this animation and it just reaffirms my love for DRG.

Wow, very good animation 😁👍 Social credit +100000000

you captured thw feeling very well. ah, ending

_Sometimes I wonder if mining is all there is to life. Then I punch myself in the nose._

If I had to describe this in a feeling, it would be Awestruck dread. The melodic choir that fills the empty cold air, yet still carrying a melancholy feel. As if it wants you to die, but in such a beautiful and lonely place.

Personally I would've gone for the synth line at 8 minutes into the track, but yes, the ambient tracks create a very unique atmosphere. Unfortunately the dwarves' increasingly more comedic voice lines intrude on this atmosphere more and more, and nowadays the only way to really feel it is to go solo.

Everyone's talking how DRG is getting Labor of Love but shouldn't it also get awards for sound design This song got another existential crisis in my collection

This is the only soundtrack from this game that actually makes me cry without fail, and that's certainly saying something.

I was playing salvage solo and was digging my way to a lost pack. As I got there, my dwarf said something along the lines of "R.I.P, we'll get your gear home" while this kicked in and it actually made me tear up. Rock and stone.
