We were so lucky to have Dokuro as our composer. He really dedicated himself towards making this soundtrack the best it could be. He really is an amazing dude and an amazing composer. Thank you for giving this OST a listen, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.
@@Garbo_trashcan this is still something that pisses me off too this day, a bunch of unpatient idiots drove my biggest inspiration, the man that inspired me to begin music production, off of pretty much all of his platforms. It breaks my heart.
@@ElvenElle Yeah, genuinely horrible that a community can be so Toxic that they endlessly annoy and beg a community figure, who was working on music for their mod FOR FREE, that said figure decides to bow out from the community permanently, and had such a negative experience that even having the music brought up (the RichaardEB cover of Roar of the Jungle Dragon for example) brought back bad memories (that he admits could be positive for others). I consider us lucky he didn't request the removal of his music from Calamity's official release, and it's a damn shame we'll never see the final release of Tyrant.
@@siegfriedabrams4918 people kept harassing him for more stuff and they didn't go about it nicely. He ended up posting somewhere that he was tired of the awful treatment and that he wasn't going to deal with it anymore and promptly cut ties with the mod
Sad that he left, but that doesn't mean calamity won't be getting any bangers from now on. It is referencing mgr:r multiple times, so music should be of high quality
It’s because most of them are they are what’s called gateway bosses they own their respective stages and when you beat them you just into the next difficulty that is usually much harder than the next hell even golem is way more difficult than before
@@Nova_fox_yt slime god is weird though doesnt fit at all with this he unlocks kinda nothing other than some armor same for eye of cthulu but he has synergy with the eater of worlds which actually unlocks something
Technically they're a "final boss" in their own way, be of a biome like Crabulon and crimson/corruption second boss or Devourer of Gods which you need to fight other four bosses (at least when i played) and then fight a existence which like you kills gods too, a final battle between two fellow god slayers.
Fun fact: the ending part of INF3S+@+!0N Has strange noises, because, when hooked up to an oscilloscope, the strange noises make mushroom shapes. This is because the theme is for a boss that is a dead husk of a giant crab infested with fungus.
In the description DM DOKURO says that it was inspired by that type of visual music. The song he was inspired by, believe it if not, is called Mushrooms.
It's cool to see you here Heart! Good luck with the rest of the UCMM project. Perhaps, when the OST is finally completed, Dan could take a look at the additional composers within the Calamity Mod community ;)
Theres a specific arrangement of the Scourge of the Universe related pieces that the artist put out called Devourer of Gods Non-stop mix, thats basically what they’d do if they put all those pieces into a single continuous piece of music, and in my opinion it is the perfect version of those songs. Highly recommend listening to that version on your own time if not in a reaction.
I love how in the mix they added the full main rhythm for Universal Collapse but as the starting “dun” sounds, as with original Universal Collapse it was only a part of the main rhythm that made up the startup
Dokuro is incredible and he deserved better from the community, they shouldn’t have taken him for granted, genuinely created one of the most memorable soundtracks in gaming for a mod in a fairly overshadowed game in terms of the main stream
to play devil's advocate, most of the community praised him for the music. Considering he's autistic, I think he just wasn't ready for recognition of that size.
Terraria is the 10th best selling game in the world, and calamity got a million downloads in a month when it was first put on the workshop, just the mod itself has a download count higher than a lot of extremely successful indie games like enter the gungeon
I never comment anywhere but it’s a bit bizarre to see a reaction to a soundtrack I partially worked on Was a fun experience working together with dokuro on three tracks and have true back and forth with writing
If you want to talk about music on my podcast (past guests include Jim Peterik (wrote eye of the tiger) brockett parsons (lady Gaga) and others DM @bestmusiccoach insta or FB.
Not only is this OST incredible, but it was made (mostly) by just 1 person, for a mod in a bigger game. Truly incredible Also, to address the title change, the answer is yes, it is that good
@@duogamez3380 calamity has far surpassed terraria vanilla's lenght in content, but made it easier too I finished cal normal mode for a meme in 4 days or less
Dokuro is an absolute god. He worked tirelessly for years and gave up a bit of his sanity to make this absolute banger of a soundtrack. It's great to see him getting the recognition he deserves.
@@boom-jr8vi i am sure if he put this much effort into it then it wasnt the fanbase that made him want to continue, it was how much he enjoyed making it
@@Fang727 when he was working on some of the last tracks he did he kept mentioning how the toxic part of the fanbase kapt making him want ot quit the project untill finally he quit himself
@@Fang727 during the creation of Stained Brutal Calamity dmd was thrown death threats, constant dm, messages and people all over his social media demanding the track to be released because of how long it was taking. This drove him insane enough to where we wanted to just drop everything and leave because of how toxic the community was back then. Funnily enough its not as bad now after the mistakes they made, guess they learnt from their mistakes with the fact that art cannot be rushed.
Never watched you, but i'm a modded terraria fan, and this just showed up in my recommendations, and looks like this will be a great 2 hours of my life. I love music reactions, and now this is terraria calamity mod ost!
100,000 views in 2 weeks! Thank you all for your support and loving this music with me! Update 200,000 views in less than 1 month! 🤯 thank you all for watching!
This was so fun! Perhaps you’ll consider doing the original Terraria OST? Also listen to THE LORDE’s theme (he is a removed boss) called “decrease your electronic device’s aural output” it’s really good!
If you know stained Brutal calamity lyrics, it is so satisfying hearing the "how will this fable end, with these legends interwined" in tale of a cruel world
I remember the day I thought, "huh, I wonder what modded terraria is like. May as well try it out." Then, I immediately fell in love with Calamity. The devs are absolutely incredible, the amount of effort and time put into the mod is ludicrous, and it's FREE! It's so high quality that it could easily pass for official DLC, it's honestly a crime that they aren't charging money for this masterpiece.
i really like the effort put into the mod, it could do with some improvements but it is really high quality. not my cup of tea but it's one epic cup of tea
My goodness DM DOKURO is so freakin versatile. It’s one thing to have a good sense of how to structure music, but making every song encapsulate every feeling of each environment and boss fight so realistically, is so impressive. They all fit so perfectly.
Roar of the jungle dragon actually has so much lore behind it and the lyrics are from the perspective of one of the final bosses warning his master about the player. The intensity of the actual boss fight is portrayed really well in this song so I would say its my personal favourite from the ost
@@realtbhandrew back in 2018(i think) they were re-writing some parts of lore and lyrics were considered non-canon, if UA-cam allowes me, ill send my discord link here
I find it a little odd to listen to a mod soundtrack before the base game - but with Calamity, I definitely understand, since it’s so incredible, it really stands on its own. Regardless, it would be amazing if you could listen to Terraria’s original soundtrack, since it’s one of my favourites in any game, with its own wildly original style of music.
@@inf_2174 this is my own personal belief, but Terraria’s full experience is when you play it on the hardest difficulty available. It’s just way more rewarding and addicting that way.
Like the yharon theme dude,its one of the best boss soundtrack in my head because its saying that yharon cant defeat the player and its probably a goditself
@@Junistheog There's a certain level of beauty in this theme. It marks the point when Yharim's war is starting to turn against him, because while Providence was a thorn in his side and The Devourer of Gods was essentially his temporary pet killer that he didn't fully trust, Yharon was different. Calamitas was an angry and ambitious killer that Yharim turned into a monster with her own anger. Draedon wasn't exactly disloyal, but he was reclusive, secretive, and mysterious, and that's a big no no for a paranoid conquerer, especially when they're building the weapons that can easily be turned against you. However, Yharon was Yharim's loyal companion who saved his life when he was a boy, and that dragon was his closest friend, and the only being within his inner circle that he fully trusted. It's highly likely that Yharim was consumed by sadness, anger, and grief after he learned that Yharon fell. No doubt, that's when the rivalry between him and the player became personal, and Yharim was ready to throw everything he had at you, even if it meant losing everything.
What I love about this soundtrack, is that it sticks to a theme that fits in the context of the Calamity lore... the feeling of melancholic determination. It even says it on the title of the first song you listen to "Tale of a cruel world", giving a sense of wonder. It just beckons anyone to adventure, but has hints of something grander underneath by use of the church bells, and with the slow strings also tells you that you might not like what you discover; of not only the horrors you fight, but also yourself. Every bit of the songs just keep to the same theme of melancholy, danger, mystery, and adventure into one package. Not only that, it also gives a psychological effect of wearing you down until you feel lethargic during the lulls of the soundtrack. And all of it tells of a story, of the "Hero", the Witch, and the Tyrant King, on a never-ending war that sends Terraria to its knees. Doubts are grieved, pain is expected, and death is not an escape, because everyone knows that the "Hero" cannot die, including their enemies. All the "Hero" has to do is give up, to leave Terraria to the Tyrant and live a normal life, but are *you* one to give up? The music shows great strife, but also motivates you to keep going despite being an impossible goal... and this is why when I play this mod, I listen to the music, because without it's just not the same, Calamity wouldn't be this great without the soundtrack period. And I hope this mod gets the attention it deserves despite some flaws.
Devs said dokuro’s lyrics isn’t really canon to the lore, so in my eyes dokuro is just good at telling stories through his music. Obviously the lyrics had major reference to the lore.
The devourer of gods theme is actually genius because it pans around in time with how the boss actually moves and attacks in game so you have these audio queues for things that actually happen in game.
lol I used to think there was just sounds being made until I saw there was lyrics and then after seeing the lyrics, I started finally recognising the words being said in the song
Dan Spencer, you have no idea. When I first heard Stained, Brutal Calamity it was so intense that I felt physically exhausted. I don't know why it happened, i don't know how it happened, but I'm sure not many musics in general can do that...
The first time I ever heard it, I could absolutely feel the pressure the song radiated. It ain't easy but when done right like this, a song absolutely can intimidate you
Dan has got to do one of the most genuine reactions to music. At least from the people I know. The stream was so nice and enjoyable to watch, and I had a good time while doing so. The Calamity soundtrack consists of many banger songs in my opinion and it seems like Dan enjoyed them as well. I really wish to see many more music reactions in the future, just like the previous ones. One of my own suggestions is the Made in Abyss OSTs 1 and 2. In my opinion the music in the soundtrack are ASTOUNDING and Kevin Penkin has done a really great job at it. Hope you see this. It's my genuine opinion about your content.
The people who were typing the lyrics in Stained, Brutal Calamity deserve a hug and so much more. The dedication is insane, and although insignificant, really amplifies my love for the calamity mod's community.
@@hajimehinata5854 it wasn't the entire community that harrassed him. Most people supported Dokuro, told him to ignore the vocal minority and that he should prioritize his well-being over pleasing some ignorant strangers.
Nice top three... mine is... Universal collapse Roar of the jungle dragon Stained brutal calamity Pretty similar, but i have to say they are some of the best pieces that dm dokuro made
Absolutely awesome reaction and I adore the explanation for the music. It goes a long way in showing how much effort the artist put in and what we can learn from them. Thank you!
What I really love about the Calamity OST is how it not only sounds incredible, but it tells a genuine story without the aid of the game. It's a shame it's arranged the way it is on spotify, as there are songs that appear after Yharons themes that really shouldn't be there, like the Astral Infection/upper abyssal themes. Even despite this, you can hear how the music progresses, hinting at things to come. Storms before the Catastrophes is brilliant, as it not only brilliantly caps off Open Frenzy, but gives the listener a roadmap of what they can expect next, with a little of Providence's theme, followed by DoG and then finally Yharon. And Catastrophes before the Calamity follows suit, giving us a little taste of what would eventually become Draedons theme, followed by a reminder of what is about to come. It's brilliant.
My favorite part of the calamity ost is that each boss theme fits the boss absolutely perfectly. Desert Scourge is most likely going to be the first boss you fight, so he has an almost hopeful feel to his song, as you’re just starting out on your journey. Crabulon is kinda a joke boss, so he has kinda a joke theme. Also crab so crab snappies. The perforators are bloody abominations of flesh and sinew, so give them a super evil, super dark death metal theme. The Hive Mind is a dark, evil being, in control of a creeping corruption set to take over everything. He has an equally evil theme to accompany him. Slime god is literally the god of slimes, which do a lot of jumping, so give him a heavy hitting beat to accompany those massive impacts. Cryogen is essentially an ice elemental but turned up to 10, so he gets a fittingly icy sounding theme. He also moves extremely unpredictably, so the drums stutter like there’s no tomorrow. The brimstone elemental’s theme is as sad as it is because of her lore, where she lost everything she once had. The aquatic scourge is canonically very closely related to the desert scourge, so he gets a remix of the desert scourge’s theme. The genre is liquid DnB because, well, I don’t think I need to explain why. Calamitas’s theme is so dramatic because she acts as a teaser for the final boss, which is also why their themes sound remarkably similar. The leviathan trilogy is the theme of two different entities: the Leviathan (obviously) and Anihita (which I probably spelled wrong). Their lore lies in the fact that they were two different creatures from the sea who were in need of help. The leviathan was aging, and couldn’t feed itself, while Anihita was is a situation similar to the brimstone elemental: losing everything she once had. That’s also why songs one and two sound somewhat sad. (Also, that synth is supposed to be Anihita singing). Then the big mama jamba comes in as the leviathan and starts doing her thing (aka ripping the player twelve simultaneous new ones) which is why that guitar starts up there. Astrum Aureus is a robot corrupted by an otherworldly virus. That super aggressive synth at the beginning is the robot part, and the fact that it sounds like doom music is from the alien virus part. Astrum Deus is the god of the aforementioned cosmic virus. That’s why he shares similarities with Astrum Aureus. The Plaugebringer Goliath is a giant mechanized honeybee equipped with bioweapons, nuclear bombs, and the hatred of about a thousand angry wasps. That’s the reason for the super synthetic sound of the song, and also for that buzzyness. Ravager is a construct of bone and death designed to kill, maim, and murder the forces of whatever is thrown at it. That hint at a major key comes from the fact that it’s technically supposed to be on your side, but that hatred has made it completely indifferent about who it kills. Providence is a giant fire moth that wants to set the world on fire and watch it burn, potentially at the same time. She is disgusted by both good and evil, and wants the world to become nothing but indifferent ash. That celestial feel at the beginning of the song is due to her divine nature. The profaned guardians are essentially her underlings, and they do whatever she wants them to. Their theme is essentially a more synthetic version of providence’s theme. Polterghast is a conglomeration of souls furious at a tyrant who tormented them when they were alive, driving them to seething madness and unrelenting hatred. That ghostly arpeggio at the beginning is because, well, *ghost.* The old duke is old. Okay there is more to him than that. He’s supposedly very wise and very, very angery. So, like any grumpy old man, he’s gonna give you a whoopin’ for steppin’ on his lawn. Therefore: VERY ANGRY GUITAR. The Sentinels are the personal minions of the Devourer of Gods (aka DoG), which is why they share major parts of his theme. The Devourer of Gods, a giant worm capable of ripping holes in the fabric of space time and ripping apart deities with the intent of eating them. The grandiose theme fits him not only because of his personality, but also because he was the first boss ever added to the mod. Dragonfolly actually used to be another joke boss, but was changed to be at least a little more serious. He has one of the weirdest, most unpredictable AIs in the game, so the fast paced and rapidly changing feel of its theme fits it to a tee. Yharon is the faithful companion of the big bad of the mod, Yharim. He is loyal to a fault and will lay down his life in service of his master. The first song gets across the dragon part, while the second gets across the loyal companion part. Supreme Calamitas. The as-of-now final boss of the mod. A witch with mastery over the forces of brimstone and necromancy, forced into the servitude of Yharim against her will. She is incredibly powerful, but her backstory is incredibly tragic. All these aspects come through in her theme, the power comes through the metal parts, the final boss aspect comes through in that insane choir, and the ending is sad due to the pain she has endured throughout her life, only finding peace after you defeat her in combat. DM Dokuro is an incredibly talented composer who I look up to for so many reasons. He may have left the community, but his memory lives on in the themes of each and every boss to hold one of his songs. o7 Also this was way longer than I ever intended Jesus Christ Edit: I forgot the adult Eidolon worm. It’s a remix of the lower abyss theme, made extra intense because your chances of beating this thing are about zero.
beautiful comment. though just a thing, Calamitas doesn't die at the end of her fight, she simply decides a truce with the player, letting them get to the tyrant, Yharim.
@@Firnen718 years of harassment towards Dokuro. Basically people thought Dokuro “owed” them Supreme Calamitas’ theme, and would not stop spamming and threatening him. Y’know, the usual thing with fandoms.
randomly found this after watching a minecraft video of all things. im very glad i found this. being a calamity player myself, the OST is something that really speaks to me. Especially The Devourer of Gods track. it really hits home. Edit: I keep coming back to this video mainly because i love seeing your reaction to this ost.
I just want to repeat a suggestion made in the comments because I really agree. I think you should do the Risk of Rain 1 & 2 OSTs at some point. They are amazing
Dan, as a diehard DM DOKURO fan you have my thanks for sitting down and really just appreciating the hard work he’s done for the mod and for the community.
*acceptance starts playing* So.. here we are 300 thousand views later. Not a single person was left unhappy at the end. Except one. I miss you Dokuro you were, still are, one of the greats.
I love music reactions because it tends to recontextualize the music you know so well, and I forgot how absolutely _filthy_ some of these pieces are. It’s beautiful
@@erumation If your referring to CDmusic then I'm pretty sure he's still working on his last project being a new exomechs theme which, from the teasers, is gonna be absolutely insane
To me, the entire Astral Infection themed songs are just perfect. Heaven's Hell-sent Abomination and all the themes derived from it alone just sets a mood for a beautiful alien-like environment that is holding a sinister yet apathetic secret. A perfect piece for the Astral Infecrion itself, but also for any type of otherworldly entity that isn't immediately terrifying; like if Cthulhu hid his true form.
Calamity is an extremely intense experience in a very good way. I recommend you take it a bit easy tho, It can get a bit overwhelming. Oh and by all means, combine it with the Terraria Overhaul mod for some juicy stuff, you’ll probably see, but Overhaul really adds to the whole thing. Another great one would be Unofficial Calamity Music Mod. That guy put a lot of effort into it. If you like music, and Calamity’s atmosphere, you’ll like it. It replaces most of the Terraria songs to themes that better fit the mood. It’s a work in progress still, but it’s really nice to have even now. Oh btw there’s a mod called smart doors from 1.4 Do yourself a favor and install it. Is a life saver. Well fellow adventurer, good luck on your journey! The great evils of the world await, it is up to you my friend!
@@flowerpotmadeofclay thanks! so far i have only beat the dessert scourge but im spending a lot of time exploring a preparing to fight other bosses and its super fun so far!
For anyone who may be curious, here's a list of every theme in the video (which is not every theme in the mod) and where it comes from. Most of these are boss themes, but they're somewhat out of order. Some are biome themes, and a handful are unused. I've kept the themes in the order in which they appear in the video. Hopefully I got them all, let me know if I missed any. Minor spoiler warning: the names of bosses will be given, and the fact their fights have phases will be mentioned if relevant. Also, some locations will be named. The first is the title screen theme: Tale of a Cruel World - Title Screen The following are enemy themes. All are bosses unless otherwise specified: Guardian of the Former Seas - Desert Scourge 1NF3S+@+!0N - Crabulon Blood coagulant - The Perforators The Filthy Mind - The Hive Mind Return to Slime - The Slime God Antarctic Reinforcement - Cryogen Left Alone - Brimstone Elemental Outcast of the Sulphurous Sea - Aquatic Scourge Raw, Unfiltered Calamity - Calamitas Silence before the storms - {unused} Siren's Call - when ??? is nearby (a particular enemy that acts as a boss summon) Siren's War Cry - Anahita (before the Leviathan appears) Forbidden Lullaby - Anahita and Leviathan (after the Leviathan appears) Cosmic Disgust - Astralgeldon Slime (a removed boss) Interstellar Stomper - Astrum Aureus Pest of the Cosmos - Astrum Deus Fly of Beelzebub - The Plaguebringer Goliath Open Frenzy - Ravager Storms before the Catastrophes - {unused} Unholy Ambush - The Profaned Guardians Unholy Insurgency - Providence, the Profaned Goddess Feral Amalgamation - Polterghast Toxic Wisdom - The Old Duke Servants of the Scourge - Sentinels of the Devourer (kinda. There's 3 of them, and 3 variants of this theme actually play in game) Scourge of the Universe - The Devourer of Gods (phase 1) UNIVERSAL COLLAPSE - The Devourer of Gods (phase 2. And yes, it's all uppercase) Murderswarm - The Dragonfolly Infernal Catharsis - Jungle Dragon, Yharon (phase 1) Roar of the Jungle Dragon - Jungle Dragon, Yharon (phase 2) These play when you're in a certain biome: The Step Below Hell - Brimstone Crag Heaven's Hell-Sent Gift - Astral Infection (surface) (this theme has been replaced in-game) The Heaven-Sent Abomination - Astral Infection (surface) (replaced Heaven's Hell-Sent Gift) Treasures Within the Abomination - Astral Infection (underground) sanctuary - Sunken Sea Hadopelagic Pressure - Abyss (upper 2 layers) void - Abyss (4th, the lowest, layer) More enemy themes follow: Threats of the Ocean Floor - Adult Eidolon Wyrm Catastrophes before the Calamity - {unused} Stained, Brutal Calamity - Supreme Calamitas Eulogy for the Ego - {unused, as far as I can tell. The wiki doesn't even list it. On DM DOKURO's channel, it seems to be a variant of Scourge of the Universe) Finally, the trio of themes involving storms, catastrophe, and calamity, are "interludes", meant to be listened to at certain points in the game, but unused in-game
Damn very useful comment cause I barely remember what any of the tracks belong to lol. Anyways i know I'm a bit late but you missed "Wasteland" the sort of surface for the sulphuric sea.
I'm sorry, but even as a mega terraria fan, the base game soundtrack is by far overshadowed by calamity's soundtrack. Calamity's soundtrack is more of a musical identifier for Terraria now to me over the base soundtrack
Fun Fact: Roar Of The Jungle Dragon Lyrics Are From The Perspective Of Yharon (The Boss aka Jungle Dragon), He Sings To His Master Yharim (Main Villain Of The Mod). Also In Previous Versions Of The Mod Yharon Had To Die Before His Second Phase Activated, So When That Track Made Into The Show It Was Hype
@@Justsomeaverage You could Consider The Player Not A Hero Since He Kills Inocent Creatures Like Anahita And Leviathan. But At The Same Time, The Player Defeating The Devourer Of Gods Is Probably One Of The Most Heroic Acts, Since The Devourer Killed So Many People And Creatures
@@Justsomeaverage I Personally Consider The Player Is Just Doing What He Thinks Is right. If He Can Get A Good Loot From a Peaceful Creature As The Leviathan To Later Defeat Something Evil Like The Plaguebringer Goliath, Then He Is Just Doing His Work To Defeat Yharim
I'm so happy that you've decided to react to this ost, it's one of my personal favourites and I loved seeing your reactions. only thing that makes me sad is that he didn't listen to antarctic reinforcement (structured mix) or the songs from the other calamity composers, they're all so underrated!
I've watched this video probably 50 times over now. I wish more people would do reviews on this amazing OST. Thanks for reviewing. I really wish DM Dukuro didn't disable commends on his channel, because I would be commenting compliments every time I listened to a video.
siren's warcry is hauntingly beautiful.. gives me goosebumps every time i listen to it. DM Dokuro, you have forever left an imprint on me with your phenomenal tracks.
After 3 months of patiently waiting and voting for it in every poll, there it is. Thanks Dan for this, probably the best reactions I had seen from you.
I love how this genuine love for music just eminates from this video, really enjoyed this! Also this makes me remember back when dokoru was releasing one piece at a time and everyone was just waiting for the final boss and its track
Cool fun fact: DMDokuro, who I'm sure you know composed these amazing songs for the amazing mod actually sang for Roar of the Jungle Dragon and I think Stained, Brutal Calamity. Also, promise us you'll come back when there's more. Supreme Calamitas is the current end, and Draedon's Exo-Trio already has a temporary soundtrack. More music is coming. More of your reactions are desired.
Hits different when brutal calamity plays and you realise you're at the final boss and how many good times you had playing the mod, stained brutal calamity always brings a tear to my eye looking back on how much fun I had and then the final boss was defeated before I even knew it.
Thank you for the great reaction, had been looking forward to this one for a while and it's so delightful to see you give it a listen. Normally i don't like to leave comments and such, but i wanted to give the biggest recommendation to the soundtrack for Risk of Rain 2. Which i went in to not expecting much, and yet time and time again listen after listen it absolutely blows me away with just how good it is. It is truly something special, and think you would love it a whole lot. But besides that just thank you again
Omg I was looking for calamity music reactions but I found like none and your reacting the all the themes god bless you and I know what I will watch tomorrow also sub for sure ^^
The ending of Stained, Brutal Calamity always gives me the feeling of victory, but at a significant loss. Like ashes coming down as the protagonist sits there all bloodied up and his greatest foe lying lifeless in front of him. The world around him is burning, the sky is red with fire, buildings are destroyed, and the protagonist can't even stand because of how exhausted he is. But he has won, and he is taking in the burning world around him. The major key piano and the bells ringing give off the sound of triumph, but that measure of dissonance tells you that he has suffered greatly to get to this point, raising the question of if it was all worth it in the end.
Dokuro has truly made something that is beyond its purpose but was greeted with pressure by the Terraria community frequently asking for more. Some people didn't see how lucky they were to have such an awesome person that dedicated real hours into these songs and how they fit the Calamity's purpose almost perfectly. One day I want to make songs as incredible as these.
this was an amazin stream and ur reactions were the best, i hope to see more and more of these! Keep up the good work! some recomendations and why i think they would be worth reactin to - Serious sam (the series) ost - it has some great music esspecially bosses although the first 3 games dont have as fun music the last 2 are the ones to have em Bloons TD6 and Bloons TDB 2 - they both just have an amazing list of music to listen to while u jsut pop bloons Castle Crashers - honestly holds some toons and bangers that some may remember esspecially from a different game
Dokuro is very good at taking an idea and expanding it. That’s how he made so much great music for this mod, sad that he left the team (for good reasons, harassment and all) I would have loved to hear what he would have done with the exo mechs theme, and the other superbosses to come.
Hope you'll do Terraria's original OST now! Seeing your reactions to these songs was so much fun haha. The original OST is a bit more tame than Calamity's but it's still a worthy listen!
If you want a good mashup of some of the tracks, I recommend checking out the The Devourer of Gods (Nonstop Mix), it's a 14 minute long mashup of Servants of the Scourge, Scourge of the Universe, and Universal Collapse that come together to form one long complete track
Man, how I wish I could just react to these songs for the first time again. It's just too good. Also as a note, Yharon is Yharim's (the basic "god" of terraria) pet. Kinda sad when you think about the lyrics relating to Yharim and Yharon instead of just random stuff.
slight correction, Yharim is not a god, he's instead a tyrant and pressumebly the strongest mortal in terraria. The closest thing to actual 'god' in calamity is Xeroc, a.k.a the thing that watches and commentates the Boss Rush.
@@Garbo_trashcan also apparently the final boss after yharim. The rock you get from the boss rush apparently has something to do with the summon... Or well. That was planned atleast.
A note while on a hour and 2 mins in If I recall, the bells referred to by the calamity mod community as the 'calamity bells' are used mostly in the post moonlord bosses so it's fitting that they'd be put in the interlude that would happen after moonlord. They make each theme more grand and powerful, a warning of the danger to come.
This set of songs really blow me away, and they really do complement how you interact with the enviroment. Biome themes from the unervingly quiet abyss to to the tranquilizing sunken sea to the energetic boss themes. I can't express how much i love calamity's music.
did you catch the tuned drums at 2:10:07? i love that part every time. By the way, the choir in that song sings actual lyrics not gibberish, and they are really good!
Calamity has a pretty chad OST. The mod would most definitely not of gotten as far as it did if it wasn't for all the hard work, dedication and skill of DM Dokuro.
I got bored and searched "DM Dokuro Reactions" and now I've lost two hours of sleep. Your reactions were priceless, but I can't blame you. DM Dokuro is a genius, GENIUS!

I love how every boss theme sounds like it could be for a final boss
Exactlyyy
It’s because most of them are they are what’s called gateway bosses they own their respective stages and when you beat them you just into the next difficulty that is usually much harder than the next hell even golem is way more difficult than before
@@Nova_fox_yt slime god is weird though doesnt fit at all with this he unlocks kinda nothing other than some armor same for eye of cthulu but he has synergy with the eater of worlds which actually unlocks something
Also i feel like catastrophies before calamity fits rly well as like an ending or end credit theme for calamity
Technically they're a "final boss" in their own way, be of a biome like Crabulon and crimson/corruption second boss or Devourer of Gods which you need to fight other four bosses (at least when i played) and then fight a existence which like you kills gods too, a final battle between two fellow god slayers.
Fun fact: the ending part of INF3S+@+!0N Has strange noises, because, when hooked up to an oscilloscope, the strange noises make mushroom shapes. This is because the theme is for a boss that is a dead husk of a giant crab infested with fungus.
Oh thats pretty neat, i didn't know that

Hell yeah!
The mod itself is even better, it looks so fun.
@sised But the music crazy I would play it only for the music
@sised angry hater alert
Theres a specific arrangement of the Scourge of the Universe related pieces that the artist put out called Devourer of Gods Non-stop mix, thats basically what they’d do if they put all those pieces into a single continuous piece of music, and in my opinion it is the perfect version of those songs. Highly recommend listening to that version on your own time if not in a reaction.
I especially like the extra servants of the scourge verse... The acoustic guitar section is just so pretty!
Plus a new servants of the scourge variant. .w.
You forgot to mention that it has a variant exclusive to that mix!
I love how in the mix they added the full main rhythm for Universal Collapse but as the starting “dun” sounds, as with original Universal Collapse it was only a part of the main rhythm that made up the startup
thank you for telling me about this.
Dokuro is incredible and he deserved better from the community, they shouldn’t have taken him for granted, genuinely created one of the most memorable soundtracks in gaming for a mod in a fairly overshadowed game in terms of the main stream
to play devil's advocate, most of the community praised him for the music. Considering he's autistic, I think he just wasn't ready for recognition of that size.
Well stated
perfect 69
What happened?
Terraria is the 10th best selling game in the world, and calamity got a million downloads in a month when it was first put on the workshop, just the mod itself has a download count higher than a lot of extremely successful indie games like enter the gungeon
I never comment anywhere but it’s a bit bizarre to see a reaction to a soundtrack I partially worked on
Was a fun experience working together with dokuro on three tracks and have true back and forth with writing

This was so fun! Perhaps you’ll consider doing the original Terraria OST? Also listen to THE LORDE’s theme (he is a removed boss) called “decrease your electronic device’s aural output” it’s really good!
Yes, so epic! Its sooo good when you have it on max sound and bass boosted

Raw unfiltered and stained brutal calamity is basically made of the motifs

I remember the day I thought, "huh, I wonder what modded terraria is like. May as well try it out." Then, I immediately fell in love with Calamity. The devs are absolutely incredible, the amount of effort and time put into the mod is ludicrous, and it's FREE! It's so high quality that it could easily pass for official DLC, it's honestly a crime that they aren't charging money for this masterpiece.

My goodness DM DOKURO is so freakin versatile. It’s one thing to have a good sense of how to structure music, but making every song encapsulate every feeling of each environment and boss fight so realistically, is so impressive. They all fit so perfectly.
Roar of the jungle dragon actually has so much lore behind it and the lyrics are from the perspective of one of the final bosses warning his master about the player. The intensity of the actual boss fight is portrayed really well in this song so I would say its my personal favourite from the ost

I find it a little odd to listen to a mod soundtrack before the base game - but with Calamity, I definitely understand, since it’s so incredible, it really stands on its own.
Regardless, it would be amazing if you could listen to Terraria’s original soundtrack, since it’s one of my favourites in any game, with its own wildly original style of music.

Like the yharon theme dude,its one of the best boss soundtrack in my head because its saying that yharon cant defeat the player and its probably a goditself
@@Junistheog Tbf by the time you face yharon you have literally defeated a profaned goddess and a devourer of goda
@@Junistheog There's a certain level of beauty in this theme. It marks the point when Yharim's war is starting to turn against him, because while Providence was a thorn in his side and The Devourer of Gods was essentially his temporary pet killer that he didn't fully trust, Yharon was different. Calamitas was an angry and ambitious killer that Yharim turned into a monster with her own anger. Draedon wasn't exactly disloyal, but he was reclusive, secretive, and mysterious, and that's a big no no for a paranoid conquerer, especially when they're building the weapons that can easily be turned against you. However, Yharon was Yharim's loyal companion who saved his life when he was a boy, and that dragon was his closest friend, and the only being within his inner circle that he fully trusted. It's highly likely that Yharim was consumed by sadness, anger, and grief after he learned that Yharon fell. No doubt, that's when the rivalry between him and the player became personal, and Yharim was ready to throw everything he had at you, even if it meant losing everything.
@@SD_yessir Wiki claims Yharon wasn’t killed in the fight, so maybe not?
@@wildfire9280 well, yharon is alive as long as yharim is alive but if yharim dies then yharon dies

Best Guitar Coach: "Wait? there's lyrics in these?"
the entire calamity fandom: "Always has been."
Jessa be jamming it out that one
@@appreciatereciprocate5748 who’s that
What I love about this soundtrack, is that it sticks to a theme that fits in the context of the Calamity lore... the feeling of melancholic determination. It even says it on the title of the first song you listen to "Tale of a cruel world", giving a sense of wonder. It just beckons anyone to adventure, but has hints of something grander underneath by use of the church bells, and with the slow strings also tells you that you might not like what you discover; of not only the horrors you fight, but also yourself. Every bit of the songs just keep to the same theme of melancholy, danger, mystery, and adventure into one package. Not only that, it also gives a psychological effect of wearing you down until you feel lethargic during the lulls of the soundtrack. And all of it tells of a story, of the "Hero", the Witch, and the Tyrant King, on a never-ending war that sends Terraria to its knees. Doubts are grieved, pain is expected, and death is not an escape, because everyone knows that the "Hero" cannot die, including their enemies. All the "Hero" has to do is give up, to leave Terraria to the Tyrant and live a normal life, but are *you* one to give up? The music shows great strife, but also motivates you to keep going despite being an impossible goal... and this is why when I play this mod, I listen to the music, because without it's just not the same, Calamity wouldn't be this great without the soundtrack period. And I hope this mod gets the attention it deserves despite some flaws.
This is probably the best description I’ve ever heard for the OST, cause it all holds true. What a fascinating mod and OST.
L
Devs said dokuro’s lyrics isn’t really canon to the lore, so in my eyes dokuro is just good at telling stories through his music. Obviously the lyrics had major reference to the lore.
@@re_thinkable8653 it’s canon in my heart, and that’s all that matters
I remember i was giving up on plaguebringuer goliath but... the music
The devourer of gods theme is actually genius because it pans around in time with how the boss actually moves and attacks in game so you have these audio queues for things that actually happen in game.

It is amazing.
It's my most listened to song in both 2020 and 2021.
The first time I ever heard it, I could absolutely feel the pressure the song radiated. It ain't easy but when done right like this, a song absolutely can intimidate you

Dan has got to do one of the most genuine reactions to music. At least from the people I know. The stream was so nice and enjoyable to watch, and I had a good time while doing so.

I really wish to see many more music reactions in the future, just like the previous ones. One of my own suggestions is the Made in Abyss OSTs 1 and 2.

lol UA-camr
What I really love about the Calamity OST is how it not only sounds incredible, but it tells a genuine story without the aid of the game. It's a shame it's arranged the way it is on spotify, as there are songs that appear after Yharons themes that really shouldn't be there, like the Astral Infection/upper abyssal themes. Even despite this, you can hear how the music progresses, hinting at things to come. Storms before the Catastrophes is brilliant, as it not only brilliantly caps off Open Frenzy, but gives the listener a roadmap of what they can expect next, with a little of Providence's theme, followed by DoG and then finally Yharon.
And Catastrophes before the Calamity follows suit, giving us a little taste of what would eventually become Draedons theme, followed by a reminder of what is about to come. It's brilliant.
Don't worry, its the same on UA-cam music, lots of random stuff is after stained brutal calamity and I don't know why.

@@Grimbaloo the only baby I see here is you, commenting this feeling like you're special or something.
@@TwitchyTail You literally cry at anything.
My favorite part of the calamity ost is that each boss theme fits the boss absolutely perfectly.
Desert Scourge is most likely going to be the first boss you fight, so he has an almost hopeful feel to his song, as you’re just starting out on your journey.
Crabulon is kinda a joke boss, so he has kinda a joke theme. Also crab so crab snappies.
The perforators are bloody abominations of flesh and sinew, so give them a super evil, super dark death metal theme.
The Hive Mind is a dark, evil being, in control of a creeping corruption set to take over everything. He has an equally evil theme to accompany him.
Slime god is literally the god of slimes, which do a lot of jumping, so give him a heavy hitting beat to accompany those massive impacts.
Cryogen is essentially an ice elemental but turned up to 10, so he gets a fittingly icy sounding theme. He also moves extremely unpredictably, so the drums stutter like there’s no tomorrow.
The brimstone elemental’s theme is as sad as it is because of her lore, where she lost everything she once had.
The aquatic scourge is canonically very closely related to the desert scourge, so he gets a remix of the desert scourge’s theme. The genre is liquid DnB because, well, I don’t think I need to explain why.
Calamitas’s theme is so dramatic because she acts as a teaser for the final boss, which is also why their themes sound remarkably similar.
The leviathan trilogy is the theme of two different entities: the Leviathan (obviously) and Anihita (which I probably spelled wrong). Their lore lies in the fact that they were two different creatures from the sea who were in need of help. The leviathan was aging, and couldn’t feed itself, while Anihita was is a situation similar to the brimstone elemental: losing everything she once had. That’s also why songs one and two sound somewhat sad. (Also, that synth is supposed to be Anihita singing). Then the big mama jamba comes in as the leviathan and starts doing her thing (aka ripping the player twelve simultaneous new ones) which is why that guitar starts up there.
Astrum Aureus is a robot corrupted by an otherworldly virus. That super aggressive synth at the beginning is the robot part, and the fact that it sounds like doom music is from the alien virus part.
Astrum Deus is the god of the aforementioned cosmic virus. That’s why he shares similarities with Astrum Aureus.
The Plaugebringer Goliath is a giant mechanized honeybee equipped with bioweapons, nuclear bombs, and the hatred of about a thousand angry wasps. That’s the reason for the super synthetic sound of the song, and also for that buzzyness.
Ravager is a construct of bone and death designed to kill, maim, and murder the forces of whatever is thrown at it. That hint at a major key comes from the fact that it’s technically supposed to be on your side, but that hatred has made it completely indifferent about who it kills.
Providence is a giant fire moth that wants to set the world on fire and watch it burn, potentially at the same time. She is disgusted by both good and evil, and wants the world to become nothing but indifferent ash. That celestial feel at the beginning of the song is due to her divine nature. The profaned guardians are essentially her underlings, and they do whatever she wants them to. Their theme is essentially a more synthetic version of providence’s theme.
Polterghast is a conglomeration of souls furious at a tyrant who tormented them when they were alive, driving them to seething madness and unrelenting hatred. That ghostly arpeggio at the beginning is because, well, *ghost.*
The old duke is old. Okay there is more to him than that. He’s supposedly very wise and very, very angery. So, like any grumpy old man, he’s gonna give you a whoopin’ for steppin’ on his lawn. Therefore: VERY ANGRY GUITAR.
The Sentinels are the personal minions of the Devourer of Gods (aka DoG), which is why they share major parts of his theme.
The Devourer of Gods, a giant worm capable of ripping holes in the fabric of space time and ripping apart deities with the intent of eating them. The grandiose theme fits him not only because of his personality, but also because he was the first boss ever added to the mod.
Dragonfolly actually used to be another joke boss, but was changed to be at least a little more serious. He has one of the weirdest, most unpredictable AIs in the game, so the fast paced and rapidly changing feel of its theme fits it to a tee.
Yharon is the faithful companion of the big bad of the mod, Yharim. He is loyal to a fault and will lay down his life in service of his master. The first song gets across the dragon part, while the second gets across the loyal companion part.
Supreme Calamitas. The as-of-now final boss of the mod. A witch with mastery over the forces of brimstone and necromancy, forced into the servitude of Yharim against her will. She is incredibly powerful, but her backstory is incredibly tragic. All these aspects come through in her theme, the power comes through the metal parts, the final boss aspect comes through in that insane choir, and the ending is sad due to the pain she has endured throughout her life, only finding peace after you defeat her in combat.
DM Dokuro is an incredibly talented composer who I look up to for so many reasons. He may have left the community, but his memory lives on in the themes of each and every boss to hold one of his songs. o7
Also this was way longer than I ever intended Jesus Christ
Edit: I forgot the adult Eidolon worm. It’s a remix of the lower abyss theme, made extra intense because your chances of beating this thing are about zero.
beautiful comment. though just a thing, Calamitas doesn't die at the end of her fight, she simply decides a truce with the player, letting them get to the tyrant, Yharim.

randomly found this after watching a minecraft video of all things. im very glad i found this. being a calamity player myself, the OST is something that really speaks to me. Especially The Devourer of Gods track. it really hits home.
Edit: I keep coming back to this video mainly because i love seeing your reaction to this ost.
Same
I can really relate to eating gods
The Tale of a Cruel World literally gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Such a good song
"A crab and its mushrooms. A love story." I absolutely love Calamity mod.
I just want to repeat a suggestion made in the comments because I really agree. I think you should do the Risk of Rain 1 & 2 OSTs at some point. They are amazing
And Survivors of the Void’s music as well, of course. You’ll probably love the sax in The Face of The Deep
big vouch
Oh, that's a great idea! Chris is an amazing composer.
That would be amazing. Would love to hear his reaction to rain formely known as purple.
Risk of Rain 2 (especially with SOTV) is probably, like, top 5 VGM OSTs or all time.
This ost was hyped up for so long, and it totally paid out, absolute bangers back to back! Do you think you have a favorite of the bunch here?
nice pfp

my fav is blood coagulant because of how grimy it sounds
Dan, as a diehard DM DOKURO fan you have my thanks for sitting down and really just appreciating the hard work he’s done for the mod and for the community.
*acceptance starts playing*
So.. here we are 300 thousand views later. Not a single person was left unhappy at the end. Except one. I miss you Dokuro you were, still are, one of the greats.
my favourite part of the ost is in "stained brutal calamity" when supreme calamitas yells "it's calamityn time!" , cry everytime.
TRUE😭
Supreme calamitas is truly the calamity of all time
Then she calamities everyone in the room. Saddest thing i’ve ever seen
Then they stain everything with their brutal calamities
Enjoyed the user named "Supreme Calamitas" screaming the lyric in time with the songs in chat, along with everyone else there.
the live chat was so awesome, im sad i wasnt there the energy was so amazing and i got so hyped up
Crabulon's theme really went from "okay I like this" to "here's a neat tidbit of info" to "F U N K" in a matter of minutes
I love music reactions because it tends to recontextualize the music you know so well, and I forgot how absolutely _filthy_ some of these pieces are. It’s beautiful
I'm definitely going to miss DM Dokuro's masterpieces in Calamity. Hope he's doing well, and can't wait to see where his talent takes him next.
the new composer is actually good luckily
@@xenon9717 Aaaaand we lost him, sadly. :(
@@erumation i feel like we're gonna end up in an endless loop where new composers keep quitting for similar reasons
@@slug8039sometimes I wish the community was filled with people that aren’t toxic 12 years olds
@@erumation If your referring to CDmusic then I'm pretty sure he's still working on his last project being a new exomechs theme which, from the teasers, is gonna be absolutely insane
To me, the entire Astral Infection themed songs are just perfect.
Heaven's Hell-sent Abomination and all the themes derived from it alone just sets a mood for a beautiful alien-like environment that is holding a sinister yet apathetic secret.
A perfect piece for the Astral Infecrion itself, but also for any type of otherworldly entity that isn't immediately terrifying; like if Cthulhu hid his true form.
I share the same exact opinion. I love the astral infection. My favorite tracks definitely
Same, love how oddly beautiful the Astral Infection is despite its danger
i started playing calamity today for the first time, and HOLY how have i never heard this soundtrack its so good.
Just wait till you get to the hard mode bosses and post moon lord... That's when it gets just insane...
Calamity is an extremely intense experience in a very good way. I recommend you take it a bit easy tho, It can get a bit overwhelming. Oh and by all means, combine it with the Terraria Overhaul mod for some juicy stuff, you’ll probably see, but Overhaul really adds to the whole thing. Another great one would be Unofficial Calamity Music Mod. That guy put a lot of effort into it. If you like music, and Calamity’s atmosphere, you’ll like it. It replaces most of the Terraria songs to themes that better fit the mood. It’s a work in progress still, but it’s really nice to have even now. Oh btw there’s a mod called smart doors from 1.4 Do yourself a favor and install it. Is a life saver. Well fellow adventurer, good luck on your journey! The great evils of the world await, it is up to you my friend!
@@flowerpotmadeofclay thanks! so far i have only beat the dessert scourge but im spending a lot of time exploring a preparing to fight other bosses and its super fun so far!
@@cubedroid5087 Im stuck at the eye of Cthulhu
:(
Im playing on Revengeance difficulty so that’s probably why lol
Good luck
For anyone who may be curious, here's a list of every theme in the video (which is not every theme in the mod) and where it comes from.
Most of these are boss themes, but they're somewhat out of order. Some are biome themes, and a handful are unused.
I've kept the themes in the order in which they appear in the video. Hopefully I got them all, let me know if I missed any.
Minor spoiler warning: the names of bosses will be given, and the fact their fights have phases will be mentioned if relevant. Also, some locations will be named.
The first is the title screen theme:
Tale of a Cruel World - Title Screen
The following are enemy themes. All are bosses unless otherwise specified:
Guardian of the Former Seas - Desert Scourge
1NF3S+@+!0N - Crabulon
Blood coagulant - The Perforators
The Filthy Mind - The Hive Mind
Return to Slime - The Slime God
Antarctic Reinforcement - Cryogen
Left Alone - Brimstone Elemental
Outcast of the Sulphurous Sea - Aquatic Scourge
Raw, Unfiltered Calamity - Calamitas
Silence before the storms - {unused}
Siren's Call - when ??? is nearby (a particular enemy that acts as a boss summon)
Siren's War Cry - Anahita (before the Leviathan appears)
Forbidden Lullaby - Anahita and Leviathan (after the Leviathan appears)
Cosmic Disgust - Astralgeldon Slime (a removed boss)
Interstellar Stomper - Astrum Aureus
Pest of the Cosmos - Astrum Deus
Fly of Beelzebub - The Plaguebringer Goliath
Open Frenzy - Ravager
Storms before the Catastrophes - {unused}
Unholy Ambush - The Profaned Guardians
Unholy Insurgency - Providence, the Profaned Goddess
Feral Amalgamation - Polterghast
Toxic Wisdom - The Old Duke
Servants of the Scourge - Sentinels of the Devourer (kinda. There's 3 of them, and 3 variants of this theme actually play in game)
Scourge of the Universe - The Devourer of Gods (phase 1)
UNIVERSAL COLLAPSE - The Devourer of Gods (phase 2. And yes, it's all uppercase)
Murderswarm - The Dragonfolly
Infernal Catharsis - Jungle Dragon, Yharon (phase 1)
Roar of the Jungle Dragon - Jungle Dragon, Yharon (phase 2)
These play when you're in a certain biome:
The Step Below Hell - Brimstone Crag
Heaven's Hell-Sent Gift - Astral Infection (surface) (this theme has been replaced in-game)
The Heaven-Sent Abomination - Astral Infection (surface) (replaced Heaven's Hell-Sent Gift)
Treasures Within the Abomination - Astral Infection (underground)
sanctuary - Sunken Sea
Hadopelagic Pressure - Abyss (upper 2 layers)
void - Abyss (4th, the lowest, layer)
More enemy themes follow:
Threats of the Ocean Floor - Adult Eidolon Wyrm
Catastrophes before the Calamity - {unused}
Stained, Brutal Calamity - Supreme Calamitas
Eulogy for the Ego - {unused, as far as I can tell. The wiki doesn't even list it. On DM DOKURO's channel, it seems to be a variant of Scourge of the Universe)
Finally, the trio of themes involving storms, catastrophe, and calamity, are "interludes", meant to be listened to at certain points in the game, but unused in-game
Damn very useful comment cause I barely remember what any of the tracks belong to lol.
Anyways i know I'm a bit late but you missed "Wasteland" the sort of surface for the sulphuric sea.
i think threats of the ocean floor is for abyss minibosses (ur reapershark and normal wyrm) i might be wrong
Bro, you don't understand how long I've been waiting for SOMEBODY to react to this OST. It's so underrated
most games you dont even really realize the boss song in the background, but in calamity its one of the best parts of the boss
1:34:27
Bro really said: "🗿"
The original Terraria OST is really cool too, I recommend checking it out + the Little Nightmares OST
He totally needs to hear these at some point + the Little Nightmares 2 OST.
@@uurtsn definitelly! The LN ost is a hidden gem
I'm sorry, but even as a mega terraria fan, the base game soundtrack is by far overshadowed by calamity's soundtrack. Calamity's soundtrack is more of a musical identifier for Terraria now to me over the base soundtrack
@@aiellamori its still a good soundtrack though
@@aiellamori 100% agreed, base game soundtrack just sounds more ordinary to me, every song in calamity just jumps out in a special way
Fun Fact: Roar Of The Jungle Dragon Lyrics Are From The Perspective Of Yharon (The Boss aka Jungle Dragon), He Sings To His Master Yharim (Main Villain Of The Mod). Also In Previous Versions Of The Mod Yharon Had To Die Before His Second Phase Activated, So When That Track Made Into The Show It Was Hype
Also, the first quarter of Stained, Brutal Calamity was from the perspective of Supreme Calamitas.
I thought we are the villain(player)
@@Justsomeaverage You could Consider The Player Not A Hero Since He Kills Inocent Creatures Like Anahita And Leviathan. But At The Same Time, The Player Defeating The Devourer Of Gods Is Probably One Of The Most Heroic Acts, Since The Devourer Killed So Many People And Creatures
@@aldia8268 so the player is an anti hero since we killed peaceful and evil creature
@@Justsomeaverage I Personally Consider The Player Is Just Doing What He Thinks Is right. If He Can Get A Good Loot From a Peaceful Creature As The Leviathan To Later Defeat Something Evil Like The Plaguebringer Goliath, Then He Is Just Doing His Work To Defeat Yharim
I'm so happy that you've decided to react to this ost, it's one of my personal favourites and I loved seeing your reactions.
only thing that makes me sad is that he didn't listen to antarctic reinforcement (structured mix) or the songs from the other calamity composers, they're all so underrated!
I've watched this video probably 50 times over now. I wish more people would do reviews on this amazing OST. Thanks for reviewing. I really wish DM Dukuro didn't disable commends on his channel, because I would be commenting compliments every time I listened to a video.
I understand why he turned off the comments though
@@LeatherNinja yeah he kind of had to because of the toxic community
siren's warcry is hauntingly beautiful.. gives me goosebumps every time i listen to it. DM Dokuro, you have forever left an imprint on me with your phenomenal tracks.
After 3 months of patiently waiting and voting for it in every poll, there it is. Thanks Dan for this, probably the best reactions I had seen from you.
I love how this genuine love for music just eminates from this video, really enjoyed this!
Also this makes me remember back when dokoru was releasing one piece at a time and everyone was just waiting for the final boss and its track
He said it once, and I'll say it too, this dude Dokuro can sing.
Cool fun fact:
DMDokuro, who I'm sure you know composed these amazing songs for the amazing mod actually sang for Roar of the Jungle Dragon and I think Stained, Brutal Calamity.
Also, promise us you'll come back when there's more. Supreme Calamitas is the current end, and Draedon's Exo-Trio already has a temporary soundtrack. More music is coming. More of your reactions are desired.
staind brutal calamity was not dm it was somone else and i think he also left the community leaving cd music to do exomechs theme
Hits different when brutal calamity plays and you realise you're at the final boss and how many good times you had playing the mod, stained brutal calamity always brings a tear to my eye looking back on how much fun I had and then the final boss was defeated before I even knew it.
and there's even gonna be a Yharim boss which is the actual final boss. I can't wait to hear his theme, even if it won't be made by Dokuro.
Hell nah i'm having fun sure, but the amount of times i died in mastermode revengeance solo makes me want to bash my head in the drywall
@@Kalipet0try out infernum next, its pretty fun if you ask me 😊
As soon as I saw his reaction to guardian of the former seas guitar I knew he was about to pop off at interstellar stomper.
Thank you for the great reaction, had been looking forward to this one for a while and it's so delightful to see you give it a listen. Normally i don't like to leave comments and such, but i wanted to give the biggest recommendation to the soundtrack for Risk of Rain 2. Which i went in to not expecting much, and yet time and time again listen after listen it absolutely blows me away with just how good it is. It is truly something special, and think you would love it a whole lot. But besides that just thank you again
Omg I was looking for calamity music reactions but I found like none and your reacting the all the themes god bless you and I know what I will watch tomorrow also sub for sure ^^
The ending of Stained, Brutal Calamity always gives me the feeling of victory, but at a significant loss. Like ashes coming down as the protagonist sits there all bloodied up and his greatest foe lying lifeless in front of him. The world around him is burning, the sky is red with fire, buildings are destroyed, and the protagonist can't even stand because of how exhausted he is. But he has won, and he is taking in the burning world around him. The major key piano and the bells ringing give off the sound of triumph, but that measure of dissonance tells you that he has suffered greatly to get to this point, raising the question of if it was all worth it in the end.
Everyone on Infernal Catharsis: OMG ROAR IS NEXT!
Them completely ignoring my favorite song:
Dokuro has truly made something that is beyond its purpose but was greeted with pressure by the Terraria community frequently asking for more. Some people didn't see how lucky they were to have such an awesome person that dedicated real hours into these songs and how they fit the Calamity's purpose almost perfectly. One day I want to make songs as incredible as these.
this was an amazin stream and ur reactions were the best, i hope to see more and more of these!
Keep up the good work!
some recomendations and why i think they would be worth reactin to -
Serious sam (the series) ost - it has some great music esspecially bosses although the first 3 games dont have as fun music the last 2 are the ones to have em
Bloons TD6 and Bloons TDB 2 - they both just have an amazing list of music to listen to while u jsut pop bloons
Castle Crashers - honestly holds some toons and bangers that some may remember esspecially from a different game
His reaction to return to slime is pure gold, thats one of my favorites songs of calamity too.
Dokuro is very good at taking an idea and expanding it. That’s how he made so much great music for this mod, sad that he left the team (for good reasons, harassment and all) I would have loved to hear what he would have done with the exo mechs theme, and the other superbosses to come.
what ive learned from dm dokoru is living in florida for 4 years and getting anxious about your voice makes you an amazing music artist
me love wasteland
Hope you'll do Terraria's original OST now! Seeing your reactions to these songs was so much fun haha. The original OST is a bit more tame than Calamity's but it's still a worthy listen!
If you want a good mashup of some of the tracks, I recommend checking out the The Devourer of Gods (Nonstop Mix), it's a 14 minute long mashup of Servants of the Scourge, Scourge of the Universe, and Universal Collapse that come together to form one long complete track
As long as DoG lol
Theres two servants of the scourge in your comment
@@kurby7795 Oh whoops XD There we go
YOOO i was waiting for this, but the original terraria ost is so good also, love your reactions dude
Man, how I wish I could just react to these songs for the first time again. It's just too good.
Also as a note, Yharon is Yharim's (the basic "god" of terraria) pet. Kinda sad when you think about the lyrics relating to Yharim and Yharon instead of just random stuff.
slight correction, Yharim is not a god, he's instead a tyrant and pressumebly the strongest mortal in terraria. The closest thing to actual 'god' in calamity is Xeroc, a.k.a the thing that watches and commentates the Boss Rush.
@@Garbo_trashcan also apparently the final boss after yharim.
The rock you get from the boss rush apparently has something to do with the summon...
Or well. That was planned atleast.
@@Garbo_trashcan That would be why the word god is in quotes. I more or less meant what you corrected. Thanks anyway.
A note while on a hour and 2 mins in
If I recall, the bells referred to by the calamity mod community as the 'calamity bells' are used mostly in the post moonlord bosses so it's fitting that they'd be put in the interlude that would happen after moonlord. They make each theme more grand and powerful, a warning of the danger to come.
This set of songs really blow me away, and they really do complement how you interact with the enviroment. Biome themes from the unervingly quiet abyss to to the tranquilizing sunken sea to the energetic boss themes. I can't express how much i love calamity's music.
did you catch the tuned drums at 2:10:07? i love that part every time. By the way, the choir in that song sings actual lyrics not gibberish, and they are really good!
I'm pretty sure it's called a "Timpani".
@@glfolker still tuned drums lol
End of reasoning
@@luckycaster2435 uh ummm they’ll wish for their demise or smthn

the chat full of nerds when universal collapse hits is kinda heart warming

fabsol: this is just a mod for a game, no need to put too much effort on the soundtrack
DM dokuro: *THE ENEMY ASCENDED BEYOND YOUR CONTROL*
Fabsol: How intense are you going to make the OST?
DMDOKURO: *Yes.*
The look of surprise when lyrics came up in roar of the jungle dragon was great
Calamity has a pretty chad OST. The mod would most definitely not of gotten as far as it did if it wasn't for all the hard work, dedication and skill of DM Dokuro.
Been waiting patiently for this one. Hell yeah.
Roar of the jungle dragon hits so different, in a very good way
I got bored and searched "DM Dokuro Reactions" and now I've lost two hours of sleep. Your reactions were priceless, but I can't blame you. DM Dokuro is a genius, GENIUS!
a solid half of the moments in this stream could be accurately captioned with "bro is flabbergasted"
cause the musics good
@@slidejumping I know, I've been playing the calamity mod since 2019, the soundtrack is ingrained in my mind forever
The reaction to “Return to Slime” was incredible
I AM SO HAPPY that calamity mode's ost
Gets the praise it deserves. Great Video, keep it up
IT FINALLY HAS TIMESTAMPS LET'S GOOOO I LOVE WATCHING YOUR REACTIONS. ESPECIALLY THIS ONE
I dont see the timestamps :(
bro looked absolutely flabbergasted during roar of the jungle dragon
I would be too, especially with the fact that he's been hearing music without lyrics for about a hour and a half!
I keep watching this for over 1 year now..
I don't know how the concept of time have bought me in this time so fast.. I just wanna go back
Fr it’s great to have memories of games especially when they have banger songs
2:17:18 makes me almost cry every single time, especially with the context of the mod's story
At the end of the song, "I feel like we just won something"... gameplay wise yes, story wise no
Also fun fact: the choir actually has lyrics here! They're almost unintelligible to me, but there's a few youtube videos with subtitles for it and they add a lot to the song
I'd also like to see you check out terraria's ost itself
Ikr it's absolutely beautiful
@@youbadatdagame8417 more bosses are being added, but to me, scal will always feel like the finale of the mod. Everything else is just a fun epilogue
@@absollnk it's sad, but not so sad now since scal becomes an NPC ally in the fight against the tyrant king
Raw, unfiltered masterpieces. Stained, brutal bass-drops.
This reminds me of the comment on the raw unfiltered calamity music.
"WAIT IF CALAMITAS THEME IS CALLED RAW, UNFILTERED CALAMITY DOES THIS MEAN SUPREME CALAMITASES THEME IS GONNA BE CALLED COOKED FILTERED CALAMITY?"
The comment was hearted and was at the top but dokuro never gave a response...
I've been waiting for this one! so excited
I love how he just became speechless during the start of second phase of the jungle dragon Yahron
