You can hear the "collective consciousness" motif at the beginning. Ironic, with Khamsin basically being the embodiment of that song. He is, simply, serving. That's about it.
Also because Khamsin actually believed he was helping people rather than destabilizing nations to help Armstrong's plan. He would have fought against World Marshal once he understood what was really happening.
@@Vherstinae no, he would fight for whoever he has been and find a way to justify it. That’s literally what the song is saying he does. He probably got the “I have a dream” speech from Armstrong and didn’t really think too hard. He just thinks Armstrong wants to “make America free” and all that.

@@Jcakedafurry Jesus man, I’m sorry. I've had five family members of mine who served in historic wars - one in the American Revolutionary War (served on the side of the American Patriots), another in the American Civil War (served on the side of the Union), one in World War I (served as a doughboy) and the final two of which served in World War II (both Americans serving on the side of the Allies).

I love how Wolf and Khamsin have completely opposite views on freedom. Khammy thinks "freedom" is completely abandoning - or freeing yourself from - your moral compass and dedicating yourself to follow someone else's orders and beliefs. You can't feel bad about killing civilians if you've given up your own morality for the sake of servitude, after all. "Freedom is calling to all men who bend their will" indicates this paradox pretty well. How is bending your will "freedom"? Oh yeah, and this song also talks about how soldiers are nothing but tools that either die in combat (becoming simply a number, a statistic) or they're thrown away after it's all over. (Fulfill our duty /Then vanish without a trace) And despite all that, Khamsin is still proud of it all, exclaiming "I am a wind of destruction!". While Wolf, after spending time on the internet reading books and such as part of his learning process, learned that he wasn't free. He only followed orders out of self preservation, since they'd wipe his memories otherwise. His fights with Sam and Raiden further pushed him towards thinking for himself. Wolfy also really hated killing. He only barely got passing grades during his VR training, and both Mistral and Wolf himself say that he lacks humanity's brutality. When he's rebuilt by Maverick, they remove his chainsaw and he becomes a recon unit instead of a fighter like Raiden. Heck, at the end of the game, he's happily living with Sunny at Solis! My boy just wants to be happy, I love Wolf.
Wow...know this game since release but just noticing how much thought in writing there is to wolf. I really thought he's just that cool ass " LQ-84i" and thats it 🤣
I think it's more so that Kham never had his own belief unlike the other Winds of Destruction Kham was a solider first and foremost fighting for a cause he himself probably didn't belive in. Like all soldiers he was manipulated into thinking that he wss fighting for a good cause.
Khamsin's character is literally just a soldier that does what sundowner tells him but they still managed to make the song super deep and meaningful; and provide seriously deep lore to a dlc character
idk why but my favorite part is probably at 1:41. "We fight for justice! in a forgotten place. Fulfill our duty, then vanish without a trace." Just sounds really cool.
It's probably one of the deepest parts of the song. It remarks about how Khamsin is another veteran cast aside and forgotten after he returned from deployment.
I like how the voice gets more robotic with some "metallic" synths near the drop, like Khamsin going into his mech and becoming one with it... like a collective consciousness
I agree, especially since this song isn't just about khamsin. Still puts It has to be this way at like 2nd or 3rd since that song is a great final boss theme

unsurprisingly there are a number of people going MURICA in the comments, as if this track isn't a scathing critique of that exact aesthetic "freedom is coming to all men who bend their will"
Khamsin is the most pitiable of the winds; he has totally swallowed the lies, and believes he is truly fighting for a better tomorrow not just for America, but for the whole world. He doesn't recognize the hypocrisy of his own actions in the face of what he believes, it's an acceptable cost for 'Freedom and justice', and surely must be right if his leader is telling him so.
@@inshaneindabrain1961 Well worship and willingly handing over control to the USA are different things. Of course both happen and in cases where it doesn't Uncle Sam flicks his fingers at the ants whom oppose him. The USA has been given too much power by being the sole superpower of the world since the collapse of the USSR. On a global scale that's unfortunate because it provides little alternative to modern societies, because they all want to be on the good side of the USA which causes these countries to adopt American culture into their own.
Khasmin, like all the winds of destruction except maybe Sam, has a pretty sad misconception about the organization's true mission. He's not a very tough boss, he's not very smart, and he dies before the real story even begins, but it'd be a mistake to dismiss him as just a jarhead stereotype - his personality is pretty well thought out and touches on the central themes of the game, and the metal gear series as a whole. For all his stubborness, obnoxious patriotic yelling, and clear lampooning of soldiers who mindlessly carry out orders in real life, he still comes across as a pretty tragic character. He dies never really knowing the true cause he was fighting for despite his complete dedication to it, and not even fighting the enemy or accomplishing anything - he's just being disposed of by Mistral for her own reasons, and she knows no one above her in the organization will even care about it. And in a twisted way, Armstrong really was fighting for a kind of freedom, just not a freedom for people like Khasmin. He wanted the strong to be free of systems he saw as restraining them for the benefit of the weak. He thought a world where might makes right in a very direct way would be less unjust than the complicated bureaucracies and economic systems we have now that just maintain advantages for those who happen to belong to the right groups, be born in the right countries or be born to the right families. His ideal world would've been a monstrous and merciless one, but you can almost understand how he thought it would still be less unfair and brutal than the one we have now - and certainly the one the metal gear universe ended up with.
i always saw armstrongs "perfect world" less as a utopia or even dystopia. it seemed like he wanted our world to fit more along the lines of how humans actually work and understand the world around us. he not only wanted it to be less complex but also more realistic to our fairly primitive brains.
You can find the original instrumental of red sun, the additional part of a stranger i remain and the different versions of collective consiousness and it has to be this way on the cutting room floor I would brace yourself for some of them though
It's either Platinum Mix or Maniac Agenda Mix for the major themes. In essence, it's saying whether the song is a theme for a hero or a villain. It's even further confirmation that Khamsin was killed because, on learning the truth of what Desperado and World Marshal were doing, he would likely have fought against them and thus LQ-84i was released to kill him.

"freedom is coming to all men who bend their will"
This song along with selanthropus(collective consciousness) and dark skies are some damn fine scathing commentary upon the dark side of USA worship.
Khamsin is the most pitiable of the winds; he has totally swallowed the lies, and believes he is truly fighting for a better tomorrow not just for America, but for the whole world. He doesn't recognize the hypocrisy of his own actions in the face of what he believes, it's an acceptable cost for 'Freedom and justice', and surely must be right if his leader is telling him so.
@@liquidrufus there's no light side to USA worship
@@inshaneindabrain1961 Well worship and willingly handing over control to the USA are different things. Of course both happen and in cases where it doesn't Uncle Sam flicks his fingers at the ants whom oppose him. The USA has been given too much power by being the sole superpower of the world since the collapse of the USSR. On a global scale that's unfortunate because it provides little alternative to modern societies, because they all want to be on the good side of the USA which causes these countries to adopt American culture into their own.
@@Ran_Do I hope I live to see the end of this empire.
This one is one of the best songs of the game- no, this is one of the best in the *genre.*
no, this is one of the best
@@EchidnaSharp opinions being subjective:
Best song ever its just the best
Agreed. John bush is amazing.
I use this song for beard growing
Two loops and it's already touching my feet.
i laughed so hard my dad came asking what was wrong
Oh... That explains a lot
Pppp
Print# What his name?
honestly this is my fav mgr song
Yo this goes hard 🔥
Jokes out, this was my ringtone for like 3 years
I love that this song litterally describes every single boss
Not really
Nah, it only describes wolf (kinda)
This is my favorite song in this game
IT’S KHAMSIN FRIDAY
Desert Storm Friday
Come out, come out where every you are
“Enough of these games, face me!”
This is the most American thing I ever heard
“Buckle the F-ck up doggie, we’re bringing freedom here if it kills us!”
"Or better yet, them!"
At 1:30 you can vaguely hear Dr. Robotnik saying "PINGAS" multiple times
What
snooPINGAS usual I see.
I HEAR IT
This song gets the reward for second best post-chorus
red sun best
Doesnt get enough credit for this insane
you are a saint
still bothers me that its not on spotify its literally my favorite song from the ost
i ascend when i hear the riff at 1:12
I think I like this part the most 0:00 - 2:19
Anyone else think this really sounds like a Sonic theme?
This sounds like the Shadow the Hedgehog OST on steroids and I love it lol
Yes, especially because of those electronic sounds that go with the music, I love it
It sounds like it would fit Diablon honestly.
"Hold still, you devil!"
You can say that about any song in MGR tbh
This song is so fucking good I honestly prefer it over the others
Agreed also if it isn’t obvious by now I REALLY love freedom.
@@Paultheloveroffreedom doesn’t everyone
1950s tank vs mecha from the future
This is the song that plays in my head at 11:25AM at school
HEAT OF THE DESERT!
DUST SETTLES ON MY FACE
WITHOUT A COMPASS..
LittleV, please, make epic metal cover of this song, so we can double mix it!

Whenever I hear the “I AM A WIND OF DESTRUCTION!!” Part, I think about the meme from the good doctor
Khasmin, like all the winds of destruction except maybe Sam, has a pretty sad misconception about the organization's true mission. He's not a very tough boss, he's not very smart, and he dies before the real story even begins, but it'd be a mistake to dismiss him as just a jarhead stereotype - his personality is pretty well thought out and touches on the central themes of the game, and the metal gear series as a whole. For all his stubborness, obnoxious patriotic yelling, and clear lampooning of soldiers who mindlessly carry out orders in real life, he still comes across as a pretty tragic character. He dies never really knowing the true cause he was fighting for despite his complete dedication to it, and not even fighting the enemy or accomplishing anything - he's just being disposed of by Mistral for her own reasons, and she knows no one above her in the organization will even care about it.
And in a twisted way, Armstrong really was fighting for a kind of freedom, just not a freedom for people like Khasmin. He wanted the strong to be free of systems he saw as restraining them for the benefit of the weak. He thought a world where might makes right in a very direct way would be less unjust than the complicated bureaucracies and economic systems we have now that just maintain advantages for those who happen to belong to the right groups, be born in the right countries or be born to the right families. His ideal world would've been a monstrous and merciless one, but you can almost understand how he thought it would still be less unfair and brutal than the one we have now - and certainly the one the metal gear universe ended up with.
👏👏
i always saw armstrongs "perfect world" less as a utopia or even dystopia. it seemed like he wanted our world to fit more along the lines of how humans actually work and understand the world around us. he not only wanted it to be less complex but also more realistic to our fairly primitive brains.
1:41 Honestly my favorite.
The most deep and on the nose lyric.
The strongest kid vs The weakest pitbull
I'd love to hear Sabaton cover this.
Yes.
@@Virsteinn Dude I would lose my shit even if Joakim only showed up in someone else's cover as the lead vocal. Minimum want to hear him sing this.
Yes.
0:46 final blow to Khamsin by Bladewolf
I like this theme xd
Why xd? There is nothing funny here
finally, a good theme
Khamsin is so underrated.
Invisible warrior.
No! No, i cant lose!
0:43 sends shivers FR
The most interesting section , at least to me is the "here I am" part.
all these osts have platmix is there a version of these songs that have not been mixed by platinum
I think they probably made snippets of it instead of full songs and now mixed it into a somewhat complete song
This it [PlatMix]
You can find the original instrumental of red sun, the additional part of a stranger i remain and the different versions of collective consiousness and it has to be this way on the cutting room floor
I would brace yourself for some of them though
It's either Platinum Mix or Maniac Agenda Mix for the major themes. In essence, it's saying whether the song is a theme for a hero or a villain. It's even further confirmation that Khamsin was killed because, on learning the truth of what Desperado and World Marshal were doing, he would likely have fought against them and thus LQ-84i was released to kill him.
Freedom is calling to all men that bend their will
True freedom is in obedience.
like unironically or...?
because that ideology what the song is about and it's pretty clearly presented as a bad thing.
*HEAT UP THE DESERT*
most of the mgr ost is named after a lyric in the climax of the song, yet this one is named after the first lyric
Havent strated this dlc yet but this boss music sounds so good
I still sing “we get no justice in this forsaken place” for some reason. School I gueds
prepare for epic MGR:R!!
The Hot Wind Blowing
Jagged lines across the sand
The crumbling buildings
In our minds are all that stand
Just like the buffalo
Blindly following the herd
We try to justify
All the things that have occurred
I don't know what I've been told
But the wishes of the people can't be controlled
I don't know what I've been told
But the wishes of the people can't be controlled
HEAT OF THE DESERT
DUST SETTLES ON MY FACE
WITHOUT A COMPASS
THE SOLDIER KNOWS NO DISGRACE
OUT OF THE ASHES
THE EAGLE RISES STILL
FREEDOM IS CALLING
TO ALL MEN WHO BEND THEIR WILL
Here I am
Dirty and faceless
Waiting to heed your instruction
On my own
Invisible warrior
I AM A WIND OF DESTRUCTION
We fight for justice
In a forgotten place
Fulfill our duty
Then vanish without a trace
Don't need a medal
For all the men we've killed
Freedom is calling
For all men who bend their will
WIND OF DESTRUCTION
“If you don’t know freedom, then I can’t expect you to get our cause.”
