Truly one of the most iconic voices of his time, legendary

"die"..... DIe die die die die die die die die die die die dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....... It's literally a rhythmic murderous rampage game lolz...

The art he created with S.O.A.D is timeless and Legendary.

I'm using this "Da da da" as vocalise.

And Jonathan Davis also

indeed hehehe

Bookends at their finest

@@pedroteixeira3318 pW

That is called a leitmotif

This was simple but fucking genius move

No but we have In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him... the Doom Slayer.

Admittedly DOOM would sound awesome 👌 with this playing

Pretty sure he's saying da da then die die

Yes, doom has lots of that. Lol especially eternal. Lol when the heavy fighting goes hard.

Chainsaw noises

Serj definitely knows. He put his all in this song.

Not only the song is an awesome metal song but also an awesome final boss theme

@@DashzRight and it fits soo well and it's perfect for hyping you up for that final fight

@@BestCupid yeah the song is heavy and powerful just like the boss, no spoilers though haha

Because Serj Tankian in the heavy metal community IS THE FINAL BOSS.

He had to take the decade to charge up the low tones.

Check out soad 2013 concert in berlin

​@@rody8376 I saw that concert it was Effing awesome!!!

@@Jmaul85 hell yeah man, I watch a lot of soad live they're awesome

It's a crime that the Game Awards even exist, why care?

To be fair nier replicant was equally deserving of the award as this game was

@@brumpo9721 Idk, as crap as some can be, it's fun to just see what's coming out

I agree but I’m still happy for Bear McCreary, guy’s very talented.

The Soundtrack is made up of people who are pissed at or pissed off the Music Industry as a whole, it was never going to win.

Yes, I picked this up on a whim. Was pleasantly surprised when I heard this.

I love Serj and SOAD, but to say that he is the most recognizable artist is a disservice to the incredible artist ensemble they managed to get

@@jamescah9230 My point was, you don't even need to be a big metal fan to recognize him. Heck, you don't even need to know who Serj is. Someone can just hear him singing and they go, "Ain't that the guy from that song about make up?"

not gonna lie i was INCREDIBLY sad to see it ONLY played at the VERY last boss and it was sooooo short, i wanna play full stages with this song, it's arguably one of the best songs i've ever heard, SOAD has always been one of my top 5 favorites and Serj is a god tier vocalist, it's insane

@@zeening I'm terrible at shooters so I had the privilege of listening to this song for a loooong time.

That Armenian is crazy! Love SoaD. Serj truly is one of the best

Couldn't believe it was him when I first heard the gutterals again .... I thought he retired from doing them

Love Serjs' voice, have done since I first heard Toxicity and Chop Suey on Kerrang all those years ago. Magnificent. Keep rocking people of UKposts! 🔥🤘🙌👏👊💖🔥

@@mysticalxproducer ah man Kerrang was the best. Back in BFMV and systems tike was absolutely eargasm for metal heads

Of any generation*

Id say it's 2005-2008 era Serj.

@@martyredmemer7678 He screams live some times nowadays. 2013 was crazy for serj, a lot of screaming indeed

That's the thing about rhythm games, they MUST have a good soundtrack or everything falls flat.

@@MetaL556 It's a joke, boomer

@@zairephenom1435 🤓

@@MetaL556 Metal Hellsinger puts a lot more emphasis on the quality of the music but its not a requirement of the genre itself. Outsiders Studio pretty much gave out sold a sick metal album and handed out a free video game along with it.

They add great vocals because they show when the player is doing good in the game (high combo) so it's a great motivation

Thanks for the lyrics bro :)

Thank you!

Is it really "cataclysmic"? Sounds like something else

Here's your crown King/Queen👑

@@youngjunk1919 Serj is singing "catasclymic" (not a word) instead of "cataclysmic" which is probably what he was going for. I don't know why he didn't do another take of that lyric.

An absolute SOAD?

one of reasons i loved soad as a kid he kills it every time

Lol goat is actually one of the difficulties in the game...

An absolute BEAST

He misses a lot. Check out most of his solo work lol. Love serj though and this song slaps.

It seemed like an inevitability, as gamers and metal heads have a huge audience overlap.

I can't think of any other one tbh

Yep I really miss it Serj's voice is so damn good

He is still really good on his own he made a album in 2022 called perplex cities

@@ScorpionismZero it's okay but I prefer the heavier stuff with syod,

Yeah he seems to be going for softer stuff when solo, not screaming is OBVIOUSLY an artistic choice after all cause this track is definite proof he's still got it.

I haven't been able to play yet, is that the final boss?

@@goldskarr yes

@@henrik1220 Maybe I should have read the description. Either way, thank you.

@Lego Jango Fett I didn't even notice serj was singing the main theme on the Red Judges last stand until you said something and heard it in the games player that's so awesome

@@freddygarciaakadragonsuper1663 oh, it was glorious. Reaching that point in the fight on Beast mode felt amazing. That boss fight was so stressful lol. But very fun too

Certified System of a DOOM moment

Leitmotifs may be a no brainer but god damn if they dont do it for me every time. Elden Ring did the same thing with one of its bosses and it ALWAYS gives me the chills.

Specially with red judge crawling at you 🤟

Repeated it about 1000 times

Imagine using this precise part for a Necromancer that summon his underlings.

These days, those rewards are meaningless. That's why they only give awards to mediocre artists and leave good artists aside.

Not necessarily mediocre artists, just to mediocre, by the books sludge. ​@@MH_thesimsfreeplay667

and Stygia is from the Unknown to Paz, love the storytelling in the songs of this game

At first I thought the song was the Judge talking to the Unknown ("I lived my life for you" referring to how the Judge is only the Judge so the Unknown can make it to heaven, etc.) but now that I've thought about it I have to agree with you. The one thing is I feel like some parts are actually directed to the Judge rather than the Unknown. The main one I'm thinking about is "This lifeless paradise, your disguise" which is clearly referring to Hell. I think the meaning of "your disguise", however, is that the Judge (and Paz, I guess) is using Hell as a way to hide their plans from the All. Also, "Sing for us, scream for us, die for us" could either be Paz and the Unknown talking to the Judge or the Judge and all of Hell talking to the Unknown imo.

"You will ever never know: I've lived my life for you. Your songs bring no tomorrow, like a bullet ripping through." So romantic. I love this song so much.

Thanks for your interpretation. You inspired me to post the lyrics to chatGPT and Bard asking what their thoughts were about the song and I thought it was interesting to see what they said without the context of the game. Here's the response from Bard if anyone's interested to see what it said. It's a fun time to be alive lol Sure, I'd be happy to help you interpret the song. Here are my thoughts: The song seems to be about a relationship that has come to an end. The singer is angry and hurt, and they feel like the other person has been deceiving them. They are also feeling a sense of loss, as they have invested a lot of time and energy into the relationship. The song is full of strong emotions, such as anger, betrayal, and loss. The singer is also expressing a sense of hopelessness, as they feel like the relationship is beyond repair. However, there is also a sense of defiance in the song, as the singer is refusing to give up on their feelings. The POV of the song is from the singer's perspective. They are the one who is feeling the pain of the breakup. The song is trying to communicate the emotions of heartbreak and the process of moving on. Here are some of the emotions that I think the singer is feeling: Anger Betrayal Loss Hopelessness Defiance The song also seems to be about the following thoughts: Why did this happen? What did I do wrong? How can I move on? Will I ever love again? The song also seems to be communicating the following morals: Love can be both beautiful and painful. Breakups are hard, but they are also a part of life. It is possible to heal from heartbreak and find love again. The song ends with the singer saying that the other person is "hell to me." This could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could mean that the other person is the source of the singer's pain. It could also mean that the singer is so angry and hurt that they see the other person as a monster. Or, it could simply mean that the singer is no longer in love with the other person. Ultimately, the meaning of the song is up to the listener to decide. However, I think it is a powerful and moving song about the pain of heartbreak.

@@patc2515 if my comment inspired you to do all of this work then i have to say that i'm happy. I genuenly believe that we haven't seen anything of their relationship yet, but i doubt Paz is suffering from a friendzone. Sure, he may feel bad because hell turned her into a shadow of her true self, or maybe his plan did which is interesting to think about, but i think that we need something from the unknown side to complete the picture.

That's what I'm saying 🥲

youtube music moment

kill rock n' roll

Of course it didn't, it's metal. What were you expecting? I expected nothing else. You see, us metal heads are all seen as satanic worshippers. Well, some of us probably are but what can we expect...

Fan-fucking-tastic game. Short, but sweet and I already am thirsty for more! I think they set up a possible sequel pretty well! The final boss with this music... holy shit! One of the most intense, most fun boss I've ever played. To be fair, Icon of Sin in Doom Eternal felt a bit disappointing but this one... OMG... Just amazing! 100% focus all the time to beat her. Did it on my first try and not many game gave me that satisfaction as this one beating a boss. I think it's time for Heaven!!! Give them hell!

@@AdamPajor Coming up next: Metal: Heavensinger Lmao

@@shinki5361 Opera: Heavensinger

Glad to see you still are so passionate about it.

It would easily fit in the 5th album

​@@Mummyfr You're right, my bad.

@@Mummyfr Attack would probably be in my list, but Mez/Hypno took a little bit of a notch down from the aggressive extreme sound as opposed to STA, Toxicitu, SOAD etc. But that doesn't disreguard them in their own right. All the songs on the 2 albums have a certain kind of undiscribable aggressiveness only System knows how to produce while keeping a composed and calm beat

@@TheREALHugo4 late to this but yeah, Serj is one of my top vocalists ever and I'm a massive SOAD fanatic, they're second to Metallica in my top bands list so that just shows how much I love the band Serj was the reason I found out about this game and he really kicked ass on this track and it made me so happy :] I get v passionate about my favorite bands so...

I feel like we’re gonna get a sequel because of the ending, god it was a amazing game and glad serj finally came back and the last level too

SAME except I thought I had accidentally missed it without realizing... imagine my surprise when the vocals opened.

He has the Same voice where you can notice its serji. So i dont geht what u pogs all mean with that

how the fok are you gonna say for a single second his voice isn't what it used to be? you only have 1 reply calling you out because most people can't be bothered to point out how goofy that statement is lol

@@halodestroyer442 ROFLMAO you called him a pog, oh that was good& i agree

@@zeening How is it goofy when it's the consensus among the large majority of SOAD fans? Serj's upper register approach and consequently tone have completely changed over the years. Not only does he rarely ever distort his voice, but he's much more reliant on head voice than chest, giving him a super nasal timbre. His voice now doesn't compare at all to the versatility and power he had back in the Toxicity era.

@@feargm That guy can't bother to reply anymore because he's the goofy one in this thread lol

Same 💯

Resonates so well with the player and the two protagonists. It's so uplifting and epic!

Stygia was what hooked me, No Tomorrow is what elevated the game to 10/10 :3

@@Xyler94 Funny you mention Stygia, that one was probably my 2nd favourite. Alissa has a great voice. So naturally I'd have to agree.

@@ViktorMartin113 What about This Devestation?

​@@airplanemaniacgaming7877What about Dissoluiton?

This guy really thinks Serj is a better singer than Bjorn Strid, doesn't huh? Fucking casuals, man.

I wouldn't say he's outgrown soad, that band is still absolutely fucking epic, just a shame that the band couldn't work out the differences and Serj since then hasn't really done much metal since then which is such a shame.

Idk about that, the rights and the band are from two feathers (the composers of the game by the developer), they can do a cover technically, but time will tell.

He did not compose it, he was called only to record it, but still they made a masterpiece

@@FrangerLeotta Oh Ok! Thanks for clearing that up

I love this one - ukposts.info/have/v-deo/nH5mk6Vvn4CjsH0.html

@@FrangerLeotta True. It was composed by Two Feathers but Serj clearly did his best! Such a good song, such a great voice!

"Her music is my music, and my voice is her voice."

its more like both the judge and paz. it was both of their plan and waited an eternity for her, its just that they forgot

Why do I get the feeling both of us found it in the same...place

damn…

agreed🎸🎸🎸

>lack of variety Did you damage your ears with constant metal-consumption? None of the songs sounded samey.

@@Pingevin1, he probably meant weapons and enemies.

@@spiderjerusalem8505 yeah but at its core it’s a rhythm game so over complicating it might make the core gameplay too difficult to focus on. If there were more than 8 levels then I would agree but I think it’s fine where it is.

For me other than the first boss and final boss the boss themes were very similar. That’s really my only criticism other than how weird the final slash of the sword feels due to it being pretty slow*

@@TheManWhoErasedHisNane absolutely, I agree.

It's one of my favourite parts of the song, tbh.

Makes sense, since that parts essentially plays during the "Last Stand" as I'll call it from the final boss. It's a hell of a way to end the game.

_True_

It was Icon of Sin but actually good. Turns out when you don't make your boss a boring-ass bullet sponge it's fun to fight.

@@FanNotANerd Both games did a great Icon of Sin style fight, what are you on about?

>Pokemon-pfp checks out

​@@Pingevin1 You could've just said you disagree with my opinion, lol.

What the fuck is nornal pitch lol

@@zsmusic8708 Like a normal audio track. This was just ripped from the game.

Is this not normal pitch?

@@gdttdeggegdh5471 Na, it's ripped from the game. I mean like a studio version.

@@genuinejustin6269 I get that it's a game rip, not a studio version. How is that related to the pitch?

Unluckily I beat her at 5th try, but I was playing at Beast mode so I suppose it’s legit - I was still too excited and I didn’t leave the computer untile I beat her

I came so close to dying on my first fight with her but ended up winning with a fraction of my health bar left

I finished it today and man it was awesome, kind of hope we get a continuation to story and stuff maybe

For sure. After the way it ended I’m almost expecting them to do some dlc. I wouldn’t be opposed to the idea :)

How did you like the rest of the game?
