I can just hear the party members, Makoto- "rrrrrRAAAAGH" Yukari- "Ill show you my true power!" Junpei- "Check this out!" Akihiko- "Dont overdo it" Mitsuru- "THIS ENDS NOW!" Koromaru- *howls* Ken- "Here is goes!"/"That wasnt good" Aigis- "I NEED YOUR HALP"
15 years later and still not any other persona game cant surpass this theme and moment in the story, how much it did impact in my life. Just like Nyx Avatar said: "It doesnt matter who you are, death awaits you" , its the reason to live your life to the fullest, achieve your dreams and love your family and friends. Dont leave this world with any regrets. Also your sacrifice will never be forgotten Minato Arisato (AKA Door kun).
You can cheese Nyx by casting Armageddon on every phase then using sp restoring items right after, no reason not to either considering you lose all items on NG+

It really feels like centuries since I've played Persona 3, but the final battle was still an epic one and so was the music. Excellent remix of it. Also, Bellowser/Bowserdonna had me chuckling. XD And speaking of the Koopa King, guess he's up next.

UA-cam was kind enough to recommend this to me, and now I've spend the last hour and a half going through some of your works and looking forward to many more. Amazing work and thanks for beautiful music dude!
@@matthewbankey5547 I have NO idea how it never sent me here before; video game OSTs and symphonic metal are my 2 biggest music genres and a fair bit of what I use this site for at all.
welp, we all know how the next one's gonna turn out, unless it's Shrowser or something. Can't wait until Final Battle (M&L: PJ) in any case, the best thing about this Hymn is the fact that it's so laid back, as if your death is inevitable, and your foe is taunting that fact, while allowing (velvet) room for your rebuttal... it works! and I'm so glad Atma's covered this awesomeness, so I can't wait 'til Persona 4/1/2's entry. I'm thinking "Pandora" myself, though, with SMT V, I'd also go for "Divine Identity"; you know what, here's my final boss wishlist: Final Boss Requests (arrangement butchered, with loving care, from Klagmar’s top 50): #50: Tabuu (SSBU) (Though any Smash tune would do too.) #49: Skull Heart Arrhythmia (Skullgirls) (For some reason, I’m not a fan of this. Care to do it again, but better?) #48: Bombs For Throwing At You (Portal 2) (Give the Valve Corporation some more love, please?) #47: The Stone-Like (Ikaruga) (stand-in for Outland and [Hi/In]bachi’s themes, though this track is much easier to perform I guess.) #46: IDOLA: The Strange Fruits (Phantasy Star Online)/IDOLA The Macabre Perfection/Dark to Light/The Whole New World (PSO2) [feat. Caleb Hyles & Jonathan Young or yourself and other friends] (you’ve only done one of the Profound Darkness’ themes, and Dark to Light (Best. MMO Finale. EVER!!!) would be a very good collab. finale for next year, seeing as SETH’s position is assured for this year.) #45: An Earnest Desire of Grey (Radiant Historia) (Shimomura rocks. ‘Nuff said.) #44: Final Battle (Overlord) (Klagmar’s choice of franchise is unorthodox, but then I didn’t think Pikmin games had awesome music, so this sort of a placeholder here, though I’d probably prefer Jergingha of The Wonderful 101.) #43: The Very Strong (Unchained Blades) (Nobuo Uematsu rocks. ‘Nuff said) #42: The God-Slaying Sword (Xenoblade Chronicles) (A Xeno song that you could actually GaMetallize, as in improve upon) #41: Highbrow (Star Ocean: Til the End of Time) (Can’t say I’ve heard this much, but I still think it’s an underrated gem out of all my 400-ish non-GaMetallized tunes) #40: Dragon God (Chrono Cross) (Another slice of awesome music for your palate, sir.) #39: It Has To Be This Way (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance) (not much to improve on here besides a collab, but one can dream.) #38: Penumbra (Yakuza: Judge Eyes) (Frankly, I’m surprised you’ve never touched this series as of writing. Are the Tojo Clan blackmailing you? No offense, I AM a pompous idiot after all!) #37: Showdown with Napoleon (Rhythm Thief) (Rhythm games are awesome; this is a placeholder for others like Everhood) #36: Vs. Lumine (Mega Man X8) (Though any other Rockman Remix would do.) #35: Soul of Cinder (Dark Souls III) (Soulsborne music’s like Golden Sun; can you include more of these?) #34: All Things… (Treasure Adventure Game) (April Fool!) #33: Sword of Doom (BlazBlue) [feat. Adrisaurus] (All hail Daisuke Ishiwatari.) #32: The Last Battle (Dynasty Warriors 7) (Honestly, you really should make this remix, musou OSTs are awesome) #31: Carmeaty Burana (Super Meat Boy) (No Meat Boy? SACRILEGE) #30: The Zero Elebit (Elebits) (I’d recommend a Kamelot vibe on this one here.) #29: Tacit Understanding (Muramasa) (A track to rival your Cursed Leorina cover, no doubt) #28: Demise of the Ritual (Shadow of the Colossus) (rather low-key, but this is meant to be a placeholder for the rest of the OST.) #27: Diva (Guilty Gear 2: Overture) (This would be another good collaboration to work with, but you can probably do this one on your own. Though I don’t blame you if you choose STRIVE’s final boss first.) #26: The War’s End (Kid Icarus: Uprising) (Another entry, another placeholder… *CO-standard boss theme-UGH*) #25: Volcano Dome (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze) (Though the others in that game also qualify - look at the cover of Big Top Bop!) #24: Cantata Mortis/God In Fire (Dissidia Final Fantasy) (The perfect blend of sweeping instrumentation and Sonic-era symphonic metal, wrapped in a supreme layer of shock.) #23: Divine Identity (Digital Devil Saga 2) (Seriously, why haven’t you chosen this SMT spinoff yet?) #22: Rising Sun (Okami) (Ace Attorney’s climactic Pursuits plus delicate beauty equals AWESOME POWER-UP!) #21: Scrap and Build Ourselves (Eternal Sonata) (Maybe this’ll be the first cover of classical music you’ll do, though I also have eyes on the Augus fight from Asura’s Wrath.) #20: Sinistral Battle (Lufia II) (The other ‘90s RPG final boss OSTs would also fit here.) #19: The Greatest Jubilee (Bayonetta) (WHY HAVEN’T YOU DONE THIS GAME YET, IT’S AWESOME!) #18: Gardenado no Buio (Kingdom Hearts I) (SUBMIT TO THE EVERLASTING DARKNESS THAT IS THE KINGDOM HEARTS FRANCHISE) #17: Secret God Matara - Hidden Star in All Seasons (Touhou 16) (only true final boss in Touhou existence, and a worthy placeholder for the others, which are just as brilliant.) #16: The Wilderness of Sadness (Tales of Symphonia - Dawn of the New World) (Hey, give Namco & Sakuraba some love.) #15: Solaris Phase 2 (Sonic the Hedgehog 2006) (I’m honestly surprised that you haven’t done any covers of the main theme yet. Dare you do one? No?) #14: Pandora (Persona 3) (though Yaldabaoth, Throw Away your Mask, & The Fog/Genesis would also work) #13: Final Boss (Pandora’s Tower) [feat. Marie-Ann Eval] (Another rank, another potentially awesome collab) #12: The Hero of Comberth Harbor (Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown) (though any of the OST would do nicely.) #11: Gideon Wrath (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game) (Again, I’m surprised you haven’t covered these anthems at all!) #10: Last Battle (Cave Story) (BALLOS ROX) #9: Ganondorf Battle (The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker) (This is definitely NOT a placeholder for the other awesome final bosses. In fact, it’s the most iconic final boss theme you’ve never covered, alongside Gwyn, Lord of Cinder) #8: HAG-1 (Banjo-Tooie) (more B-K representation, please?) #7: The Final Battle (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam) (the Kingdom Hearts tune we never had) #6: Theme of the Last Battle (Professor Layton & The Last Specter) (Bit left-field, but trust me and Klagmar on this; it’s awesome) #5: Hyper Zone (Kirby’s Dream Land) (I think that’s the only main title finale you haven’t done besides Dark Nebula & Necrodeus, but I don’t mind whatever) #4: Roar of the Departed Souls (Lost Odyssey) (alt. SETH that’s just as awesome) #3: Battle of Providence (Bravely Second: End Layer) (Yes, I know we’ve still Serpent Eating The Horizon and Wicked Flight, but with this theme, there’s much more room for improv. and it meshes much more with his default style. That said, I don’t mind if you don’t choose this one.) #2: Final Bowser (Super Mario Odyssey) (Can’t think of any other Bowser off the top of my head, but they would also do well.) #1: Revelations 13:1 (The Binding of Isaac) (Again, YMMV, but this is the absolute true final boss of the entire game, so good placeholder) #0: The Azure Arbitrator (Falcom Sound Team jdk: Ao no Kiseki) (I know, it’s a company, but that just goes to show how well both the soundtracks for Ys and The Legend of Heroes go hand in hand. I’d also go for “Termination” and “The Strongest Foe”, alongside “Vesper Umbra” (Tokyo Xanadu).) Of course, this selection is MEANT to be picked from in no particular order (if it were me, I’d choose Azure Arbitrator, Final Boss (Pandora’s Tower), Battle of Providence & The Greatest Jubilee, alongside the themes of The Profound Darkness); Atma’s style is so good that ANY remix would bring the awesome up to eleven. And this is just scratching the surface! Oh, and I’m only putting Deltarune on here when the final chapter releases, seeing as KNOCK YOU DOWN!! And BIG SHOT are Disc-One Final Bosses (normal and weird) at best, and True Final Boss (Deltarune Final Chapter) WILL be more of a magnum opus regardless.
*points Evoker at myself* PERSONA! *summons GaMetal and casts Remix. Remix does 9999 damage to Nyx! Nyx is down* Akihiko: I've been waiting for this! *Commences All-Out Attack*
If I've understood correctly, the title "The battle for everyone's souls" is directly translated from the original title of the song but "Battle Hymn of the Soul" is the official English title. The difference mirrors the difference between the titles for the song in the Velvet room: "Poem for everyone's souls" and "Aria of the Soul"
Still my favorite Persona game alongside the second half of P2. Glad to see an amazing theme such as this get a GaMetal remix, I really wasn't expecting it! Typical Aeon's Devil Gundam request. I haven't been able to put it on other videos since I've been busy, but now I'm back to spam it 👀
Not only are your covers always SPOT ON, but your creative effort into editing and transposing is amazing. But the cherry on top for me is you always add a solo that stays true to the song.
Honestly this brough tears to my eyes thank you for reminding me why this is my favorite game of all time. This is my favorite battle theme of all time not just because it sounds good but the raw emotion it makes me feel. Your cover made me feel like I was fighting that final battle for the first time all over again absloutly beautiful.
"The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge he sealed his fate, entrusting his future to the cards man clings to a dim hope, yes the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed, for beyond the beaten path lies the absolute end, the ultimate door, KINGDOM HEARTS, where you will find not even the smallest glimmer of Light. Where all Hearts are born, even yours. DARKNESS CONQUERS ALL WORLDS!"
Truth is when I first heard this was on rank10ygo with the war of the worthless. It was the song played for the finale duel. And it fit the music in epic ways. This remix makes that final match even better.
Warning: rambling ahead What sold me on this cover (aside from the fact that it's FUCKING GAMETAL DOING BATTLE HYMN OF THE SOUL) is the fact that during the fainter piano segment, I always imagined an arpeggio which would complement it -- and by sheer coincidence, Johnny just so happened to play that exact arpeggio at that exact moment in the song. It's like the man sees straight into my brain -- he did the exact same thing with his Battle on the Big Bridge cover too (I always imagined the chorus would sound better if some of the notes were replaced by two quick staccato notes in succession, and SURE ENOUGH)

@@matthewbankey5547 I have NO idea how it never sent me here before; video game OSTs and symphonic metal are my 2 biggest music genres and a fair bit of what I use this site for at all.
@@lordminsc24 better late than never! ;)
Welcome lordminsc, glad you made it here! :)
Wait what the hell? I didn’t know Jonny was remixing this one, and it’s incredible too? Well we’re definitely lucky to have him do these remixes.
Bowser's vocal solo gives me goosebumps.
Okay, the Bowser puppet caught me off guard. Good one XD
We have ALL been waiting for this
welp, we all know how the next one's gonna turn out, unless it's Shrowser or something. Can't wait until Final Battle (M&L: PJ)
in any case, the best thing about this Hymn is the fact that it's so laid back, as if your death is inevitable, and your foe is taunting that fact, while allowing (velvet) room for your rebuttal... it works!
and I'm so glad Atma's covered this awesomeness, so I can't wait 'til Persona 4/1/2's entry. I'm thinking "Pandora" myself, though, with SMT V, I'd also go for "Divine Identity"; you know what, here's my final boss wishlist:
Final Boss Requests (arrangement butchered, with loving care, from Klagmar’s top 50):
#50: Tabuu (SSBU) (Though any Smash tune would do too.)
#49: Skull Heart Arrhythmia (Skullgirls) (For some reason, I’m not a fan of this. Care to do it again, but better?)
#48: Bombs For Throwing At You (Portal 2) (Give the Valve Corporation some more love, please?)
#47: The Stone-Like (Ikaruga) (stand-in for Outland and [Hi/In]bachi’s themes, though this track is much easier to perform I guess.)
#46: IDOLA: The Strange Fruits (Phantasy Star Online)/IDOLA The Macabre Perfection/Dark to Light/The Whole New World (PSO2) [feat. Caleb Hyles & Jonathan Young or yourself and other friends] (you’ve only done one of the Profound Darkness’ themes, and Dark to Light (Best. MMO Finale. EVER!!!) would be a very good collab. finale for next year, seeing as SETH’s position is assured for this year.)
#45: An Earnest Desire of Grey (Radiant Historia) (Shimomura rocks. ‘Nuff said.)
#44: Final Battle (Overlord) (Klagmar’s choice of franchise is unorthodox, but then I didn’t think Pikmin games had awesome music, so this sort of a placeholder here, though I’d probably prefer Jergingha of The Wonderful 101.)
#43: The Very Strong (Unchained Blades) (Nobuo Uematsu rocks. ‘Nuff said)
#42: The God-Slaying Sword (Xenoblade Chronicles) (A Xeno song that you could actually GaMetallize, as in improve upon)
#41: Highbrow (Star Ocean: Til the End of Time) (Can’t say I’ve heard this much, but I still think it’s an underrated gem out of all my 400-ish non-GaMetallized tunes)
#40: Dragon God (Chrono Cross) (Another slice of awesome music for your palate, sir.)
#39: It Has To Be This Way (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance) (not much to improve on here besides a collab, but one can dream.)
#38: Penumbra (Yakuza: Judge Eyes) (Frankly, I’m surprised you’ve never touched this series as of writing. Are the Tojo Clan blackmailing you? No offense, I AM a pompous idiot after all!)
#37: Showdown with Napoleon (Rhythm Thief) (Rhythm games are awesome; this is a placeholder for others like Everhood)
#36: Vs. Lumine (Mega Man X8) (Though any other Rockman Remix would do.)
#35: Soul of Cinder (Dark Souls III) (Soulsborne music’s like Golden Sun; can you include more of these?)
#34: All Things… (Treasure Adventure Game) (April Fool!)
#33: Sword of Doom (BlazBlue) [feat. Adrisaurus] (All hail Daisuke Ishiwatari.)
#32: The Last Battle (Dynasty Warriors 7) (Honestly, you really should make this remix, musou OSTs are awesome)
#31: Carmeaty Burana (Super Meat Boy) (No Meat Boy? SACRILEGE)
#30: The Zero Elebit (Elebits) (I’d recommend a Kamelot vibe on this one here.)
#29: Tacit Understanding (Muramasa) (A track to rival your Cursed Leorina cover, no doubt)
#28: Demise of the Ritual (Shadow of the Colossus) (rather low-key, but this is meant to be a placeholder for the rest of the OST.)
#27: Diva (Guilty Gear 2: Overture) (This would be another good collaboration to work with, but you can probably do this one on your own. Though I don’t blame you if you choose STRIVE’s final boss first.)
#26: The War’s End (Kid Icarus: Uprising) (Another entry, another placeholder… *CO-standard boss theme-UGH*)
#25: Volcano Dome (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze) (Though the others in that game also qualify - look at the cover of Big Top Bop!)
#24: Cantata Mortis/God In Fire (Dissidia Final Fantasy) (The perfect blend of sweeping instrumentation and Sonic-era symphonic metal, wrapped in a supreme layer of shock.)
#23: Divine Identity (Digital Devil Saga 2) (Seriously, why haven’t you chosen this SMT spinoff yet?)
#22: Rising Sun (Okami) (Ace Attorney’s climactic Pursuits plus delicate beauty equals AWESOME POWER-UP!)
#21: Scrap and Build Ourselves (Eternal Sonata) (Maybe this’ll be the first cover of classical music you’ll do, though I also have eyes on the Augus fight from Asura’s Wrath.)
#20: Sinistral Battle (Lufia II) (The other ‘90s RPG final boss OSTs would also fit here.)
#19: The Greatest Jubilee (Bayonetta) (WHY HAVEN’T YOU DONE THIS GAME YET, IT’S AWESOME!)
#18: Gardenado no Buio (Kingdom Hearts I) (SUBMIT TO THE EVERLASTING DARKNESS THAT IS THE KINGDOM HEARTS FRANCHISE)
#17: Secret God Matara - Hidden Star in All Seasons (Touhou 16) (only true final boss in Touhou existence, and a worthy placeholder for the others, which are just as brilliant.)
#16: The Wilderness of Sadness (Tales of Symphonia - Dawn of the New World) (Hey, give Namco & Sakuraba some love.)
#15: Solaris Phase 2 (Sonic the Hedgehog 2006) (I’m honestly surprised that you haven’t done any covers of the main theme yet. Dare you do one? No?)
#14: Pandora (Persona 3) (though Yaldabaoth, Throw Away your Mask, & The Fog/Genesis would also work)
#13: Final Boss (Pandora’s Tower) [feat. Marie-Ann Eval] (Another rank, another potentially awesome collab)
#12: The Hero of Comberth Harbor (Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown) (though any of the OST would do nicely.)
#11: Gideon Wrath (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game) (Again, I’m surprised you haven’t covered these anthems at all!)
#10: Last Battle (Cave Story) (BALLOS ROX)
#9: Ganondorf Battle (The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker) (This is definitely NOT a placeholder for the other awesome final bosses. In fact, it’s the most iconic final boss theme you’ve never covered, alongside Gwyn, Lord of Cinder)
#8: HAG-1 (Banjo-Tooie) (more B-K representation, please?)
#7: The Final Battle (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam) (the Kingdom Hearts tune we never had)
#6: Theme of the Last Battle (Professor Layton & The Last Specter) (Bit left-field, but trust me and Klagmar on this; it’s awesome)
#5: Hyper Zone (Kirby’s Dream Land) (I think that’s the only main title finale you haven’t done besides Dark Nebula & Necrodeus, but I don’t mind whatever)
#4: Roar of the Departed Souls (Lost Odyssey) (alt. SETH that’s just as awesome)
#3: Battle of Providence (Bravely Second: End Layer) (Yes, I know we’ve still Serpent Eating The Horizon and Wicked Flight, but with this theme, there’s much more room for improv. and it meshes much more with his default style. That said, I don’t mind if you don’t choose this one.)
#2: Final Bowser (Super Mario Odyssey) (Can’t think of any other Bowser off the top of my head, but they would also do well.)
#1: Revelations 13:1 (The Binding of Isaac) (Again, YMMV, but this is the absolute true final boss of the entire game, so good placeholder)
#0: The Azure Arbitrator (Falcom Sound Team jdk: Ao no Kiseki) (I know, it’s a company, but that just goes to show how well both the soundtracks for Ys and The Legend of Heroes go hand in hand. I’d also go for “Termination” and “The Strongest Foe”, alongside “Vesper Umbra” (Tokyo Xanadu).)
Of course, this selection is MEANT to be picked from in no particular order (if it were me, I’d choose Azure Arbitrator, Final Boss (Pandora’s Tower), Battle of Providence & The Greatest Jubilee, alongside the themes of The Profound Darkness); Atma’s style is so good that ANY remix would bring the awesome up to eleven. And this is just scratching the surface!
Oh, and I’m only putting Deltarune on here when the final chapter releases, seeing as KNOCK YOU DOWN!! And BIG SHOT are Disc-One Final Bosses (normal and weird) at best, and True Final Boss (Deltarune Final Chapter) WILL be more of a magnum opus regardless.
Man, Bowser's got some pipes on him! I didn't know his voice could get that high
Jonny finally using dark mode to capture comments. They grow up so fast.
Jokes aside: Bowser is absolutely rockin' that suit.
"Honey it's January 31st, it's time to become a door!"
But unironically, Battle for Everyone's Souls is a banger, thanks for covering it!
*points Evoker at myself* PERSONA! *summons GaMetal and casts Remix. Remix does 9999 damage to Nyx! Nyx is down*
Akihiko: I've been waiting for this! *Commences All-Out Attack*
"I sense.... Death Metal! Jonny Atma's true Arcana is Death Metal!"
You really knocked this one out of the park. Bowser has a heckuva set of pipes.
Had no idea this was the actual name of the song. Thought it was called "The Battle for Everyone's Souls."
If I've understood correctly, the title "The battle for everyone's souls" is directly translated from the original title of the song but "Battle Hymn of the Soul" is the official English title.
The difference mirrors the difference between the titles for the song in the Velvet room: "Poem for everyone's souls" and "Aria of the Soul"
@@66Kusmu battle hymn of the soul is a cooler name anyway
GaMetal is the means by which all is revealed
Oh I love the drums in 0:24 so much! 😍
Thanks for releasing this on my birthday
Happy birthday!
@@JonnyAtma thanks
Bowser doing the singing cracked me up. Well played haha
Que gran tema, excelente trabajo y un temazo como este no puede ser cantado por alguien que no sea bowsie.
Still my favorite Persona game alongside the second half of P2. Glad to see an amazing theme such as this get a GaMetal remix, I really wasn't expecting it!
Typical Aeon's Devil Gundam request. I haven't been able to put it on other videos since I've been busy, but now I'm back to spam it 👀
The bowser puppet caught me so off guard and I love it. :)
Not only are your covers always SPOT ON, but your creative effort into editing and transposing is amazing. But the cherry on top for me is you always add a solo that stays true to the song.
Honestly this brough tears to my eyes thank you for reminding me why this is my favorite game of all time. This is my favorite battle theme of all time not just because it sounds good but the raw emotion it makes me feel. Your cover made me feel like I was fighting that final battle for the first time all over again absloutly beautiful.
THE BOWSER PLUSHIE AHHHHH
"The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge he sealed his fate, entrusting his future to the cards man clings to a dim hope, yes the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed, for beyond the beaten path lies the absolute end, the ultimate door, KINGDOM HEARTS, where you will find not even the smallest glimmer of Light. Where all Hearts are born, even yours. DARKNESS CONQUERS ALL WORLDS!"
3:58 holy moly
Bowser really outdid himself this time.
I wonder how he'll one up himself with the next song.
Truth is when I first heard this was on rank10ygo with the war of the worthless. It was the song played for the finale duel. And it fit the music in epic ways. This remix makes that final match even better.
Another Bowser theme, huh? Awesome!
I'm looking forward to it...
Did not know bowser was a good singer very proud of him
This should be the new theme for the battle in the Remake of P3
"I've been waiting for this..!"
the lil bowser killed me lol
Who knew bowser had such a lovely singing voice
"When man ate the fruit of knowledge, they sealed their fate"
WE NEED 'The Fog' from Persona 4 AS WELL :D
Bowser's voice is truly beautiful
Warning: rambling ahead
What sold me on this cover (aside from the fact that it's FUCKING GAMETAL DOING BATTLE HYMN OF THE SOUL) is the fact that during the fainter piano segment, I always imagined an arpeggio which would complement it -- and by sheer coincidence, Johnny just so happened to play that exact arpeggio at that exact moment in the song. It's like the man sees straight into my brain -- he did the exact same thing with his Battle on the Big Bridge cover too (I always imagined the chorus would sound better if some of the notes were replaced by two quick staccato notes in succession, and SURE ENOUGH)
Tbh, kinda suprised he didn’t cover this earlier. Seems right up his alley.
I really wish we could get a full version of Acoustic "Memories of You"
**Night Queen**
*Yukari was charmed!*
**Diaharan**
hearing this theme without "all shall perish; eternity awaits;" in the background is not the same
Btw, great remix, really
