This track from Elden Ring was a fun mass of chaos to listen to. We need more!

I think you will enjoy Lord of Frenzied Flame
Yes he will @girish9242
Can do do some Baki OSTs?
I think you'll be a big fan of Promised Consort Radahn's ost, especially second phase.
Lord of Frenzied Flame, and Promised Consort. this soundtrack is incredible
Fun fact regarding this boss: The devs actually programmed him to attack along with the beats of the song. That middle part with the choir is when the boss raises gracefully in the air and changes phase with lots of visual effects. Really drives the feeling of it being a godly dancing beast doing what it does best.
so THATS why it changed phases while being high on hp.. thats fucking amazing
@@sol9869it isn't
@@mihaimercenarul7467 sure, whatever you say boss.
For context: the "most replayed" part in the middle happens when the boss is phase transitioning, and is unhittable while performing a dramatic visual effect. So as a player, in the middle of an intense fight, there is suddenly a moment where you are forced to pause. For me, that was when I first realized "damn this song SLAPS". Honestly made me feel like the first time I heard "Duel of the Fates".
and a lot of people dont know the boss is based off chinese lions
@@vanillaicecream2385the music as well seems to recall some traditional Chinese aspects of that "celebration"
That’s how I felt about Bayle the Dread, it’s like one of my favorite songs now
A shame this boss is kinda mid. The camera and visual clutter ruin this fight.
@@anonisnoone6125 hard disagree personally. The camera is frustrating, but all you have to do is not lock on and attack his legs when he’s done attacking. And i actually love the visual clutter, all the bolts of electricity and red fire intensifies the fight by like 10x imo
SotE?! Let's go!!! Can't wait for your reaction to Midra and Promised Consort
Promised Consort? Oh yes please!!
Messmer, Bayle and Rellana
Those United in Common Cause too
CURSE YOU BAYLEEEEEEEE
Midra's theme is by far my fav. Would love to see his reaction for that. Especially if he saw a sample fight to go with it
The most replayed section is when the boss starts using 3 elements and the music change to match which elements it's using. in the order you listened to, it's lightning => Ice (with the nice choir) => wind (with the strings going wild)
Dont forget the death blight💀
@@Violette--- that is later in the game in a different boss fight
What makes this OST really fun is the fight that goes with it. Basically, The Dancing Lion has 4 phases wind, lightning, ice, and earth. Its cool because the boss changes phase with the music and not its health bar in pretty cool visual display
Earth? Is that the basic one? Also it goes up to 5 if you're fighting the second dancing lion, he got that death breath and he summons those death frogs that i don't feel they are worth remembering their name, they screwed me good back in the days in base game
@@samerbark690 The death frogs are called Basilisks
You forget the secret one: the camera.
@@blass-ig5eeots counted as wind
YESSS so glad to see this ost, when I heard the phase 2 music during the boss fight I was so intimidated but amazed lmao.
The woodwind runs beautifully represent the storm and also the whirling, twisting movements of the boss. It's such a fun boss, especially with the music actually corresponding with the phases of the boss! Also the fact that it's so relentlessly full force makes sense because the boss, most of the bosses of the DLC even, doesn't give you much time to take a breath either.
I've been waiting for you to start covering the DLC soundtrack and I absolutely cannot wait for you to listen to The Lord of Frenzied Flame! Please do that one next?
We have lots to do for sure
Divine Beast Dancing Lion has quickly become one of my favorite tracks Fromsoft has released. It is so relentless and intense, but also has a hint of melancholy near the end. It is fitting as you fight an extinct civilization’s last remnant of pride.
Shoi Miyazawa is an absolute GENIUS at writing music. And this game is his first time doing it, which makes it even more impressive! Two other tracks made by him in SotE that go hard are The Lord of Frenzied Flame and The Promised Consort
Nah he also composed for Armored Core 6
@@slpwlkr8008 which came out after elden ring. He was in the base game
yeah and everyone thought that Yuma kitamura abandoning From would be the demise of their music
@@alexboninsegna8050 Fromsoft has had good music for a very, very long time. and even though Bloodborne was the first Souls game to have a truly outstanding OST, Yuka was a necessary step into a more mainstream (which I don't mean in a bad way, I'm not a hipster) direction music wise. the budget increase helped more than anything else tho
@@alexboninsegna8050 she didnt abandon them, she can still be hired by fromsoft to work on more music in the future.
funny festival feline
😂😂😂
Big costume cat
Genuinely one of the best music pieces i've ever heard, you have to be soulless to think this music doesn't SLAP!
OMG it’s so good, honestly SOTE as a whole has so many banger music especially Consort Radahn’s music. It’s absolutely amazing!
@@HeyTarnished We are blessed to have 6 super talented composers doing the music for this game
@@cowhale2488 Yeah absolutely! They gotta hold Shoi Miyazawa captive (joke😂) for making GOAT tier music already as his 1st game to make music for is Elden Ring, man did Consort Radahn’s music on a whim just like that. 😭🤯❤️
This song is way too generic and boring
@@HeyTarnishedyou like these mediocre songs so much? No wonder you got bullied, you deserved it. Like kiddo calm down, this music is just geberic orchestra with random choirs. It's nothing special. The music is like a 5/10. Why do you praise it so much lmao
This is just a goosebump simulator
so in phase 2 of the boss fight, this particular boss has three different "modes", one each for lightning, ice and wind attack forms. the boss changes from one mode to another in time with the music. so in a way the boss is dancing with you as you fight it. so keeping in mind the name of the boss and the instrument choices, you can clearly tell it's some kind of divine figure that dances to its own festival, and the tone of the song reflects its emotions in this dance against you, the player
I literally stopped listening to this OST a few seconds ago only to see that you're gonna analyze it. Fuck yeah, perfect! Can't wait.
My boi Shoi always pulling absolute bANGERS like nobodys business
He and Yuka are definitely gifts from the god of music
Elden ring along with the dlc have amazing osts
5/10
1:22 I get chills every time here when the strings cut through everything
Waiting for The Lord of the Frenzied Flame
Thankfully he didn't like that nonsensical garbage of a song. Good
@@mihaimercenarul7467 opinions
@@ieatcrayons7314 you have only three comments on this channel, all directed to me. You are obsessed with me it seems.
@mihaimercenarul7467 the same way you seemed to be obsessed with just saying "no" to everyone saying something about their favorite pieces?
@@mihaimercenarul7467 I've also quite literally just discovered this channel
"oh horn deck'd beast from higher sphere deliver'd,
Take root within the tower's sculpted keepers, and perch'd within, we beg of thee, rise.
Dance and cavort, cleanse all thou wilt,
Cruelty, woe, and those who plague the tower.
Cleanse away the strumpet's vile progeny"
It almost makes me think that the divine beast is either dead or spiritual, and “taking root within the tower’s sculpted keepers” Makes me think that the beast is possessing these two hornsent inside the lion costume. The sculpted keepers are essentially inacting the will of the “divine beast”
2:44
You say that but I died a few times because I kept getting distracted by how hard the music slapped.😂
It doesn't ''slap'', it's mediocre. Also why do you write like a brainless five year old?
Can't wait for your reaction to Bayle the Dread
I second this
@@Bayle-the-Dread-Dragon CURSE YOU BAYLEEEEEEEE

@@Bayle-the-Dread-DragonYOUR FEARS MADE FLESH
I love the "Promised Consort" boss ost. Especially on phase 2
The rising woodwinds make me think of crashing waves or powerful gusts of wind. Which, in the context of this boss, makes sense.
If you want more elden ring music I have to reccomend melanias theme. The string section in phase 2 gives me goosebumps every time hear it even now.
You mean malenia*
If you do another track from the Elden Ring DLC then I think it should be the boss music for Midra called "The Lord of Frenzied Flame". It is my favourite piece from the DLC.
The insane runs that the woodwinds repeat after the strings in the last part, and just those runs all together, I think represent the dancers coordinating with each other (the lion is manned by two dancers). Or maybe it represents it's channeling of the storm and the balanced contrast represents the dancers.
Gotta mention it just because I haven't seen it on any other comment so far. You probably wanna listen to 'Those United in Common Cause'. Probably my favorite from this OST.
Oh that one? My god that one was so disappointing. It had no climax, it was so empty and bland. One of the worst songs honestly
i like this new format where the first listen is more continuous, with more detailed analysis afterwards. also really excited for more elden ring :)
Tony Marco collab when??
That would be very fun, I was surprised when he dropped his name
The Shadow of the Erdtree soundtrack is so good! You should react to the Promised Consort OST as well
Phenomenal OST. In an arrangement as solid as this, this track is still a standout. Anecdotally from comments I see across OST reviewer channels, I think the most popular would be this, Midra, and Promised Consort. Each has a very different style from one another and I'd love to see your analysis.
Please do The Promised Consort next, it truly is amazing!
You should watch this with the fight its from. Its like watching a performance, trully amazing. Love your videos dude
I always love your interpretation of the music throughout games. How you see the phrasing and are able to pick apart a song in your first listen is something that’s very impressive. I’ve been going through lots of people’s music reactions and by far you’re one of the best when it comes to it. Elden ring has some phenomenal music too if you checked out some more. Keep up the amazing videos
YESSSSSSSSSSSS MORE ELDEN RING PLEASEEEEEEEEE
First set of abilities of the Lion: Wind-based
Woodwind runs for soft breezes, low rumbling of something brass-y for strong gusts of wind
Second set of abilities: Lightning-based
Storm drums for strikes of lightning, choir is (imo) the thunder, woodwinds are still present and sound stronger
Third set of abilities: Ice-based
Overall vibe of blizzard, wind became violent icy whirlwind, strings mostly replaced the woodwinds
I so love this song
Inside the game while fighting the boss, this soundtrack is absolutely incredible. I had goosebumps almost the whole time.
I think the bossfight starts in the middle of the song, where it's a little more subdued and the most epic parts are during phase transitions. It feels like the whole city is sitting around the boss arena, playing instruments, singing the choir and cheering for their champion(s) and spiritually powering him up with the music.
When I finally beat the boss I felt a great mix of joy because I finally made it, and also sadness, because camera issues aside, the atmosphere is just amazing.
Let's go, more elden ring ost reactions. I had run out of them
This boss is very eastern inspired, it's is a Lion Dancer as the name suggests. Just two guys playing the role of a mighty beast and they're just as ferocious as one! The music is very eastern as well, switching back and forth between and combining European and East Asian styles. The lower registers in the second part of the song are constantly chanting like in traditional Japanese music, tho I forgot the name of that particular style of singing. It's amazing
This is gonna be good
Shoi Miyazawa, the composer who did this track and a few others, composed a large portion of Fromsoft’s best OST tracks ever… and Elden Ring was his first ever game composing music for. Wild stuff. He’s an incredible new Gem that understands Melody of boss music whilst also corresponding it seamlessly to the Gameplay and its narrative connection to said bosses.
He’s done many great tracks in the Basegame of Elden Ring, of which you have not heard all of yet. But he’s also involved in doing two more *standout* tracks, in particular, for this DLC specifically that I think fans would love to see your videos on: those being *The Lord of the Frenzied Flame* and *The Promised Consort*
But, of course, not all of the tracks in this DLC are composed by him. There are equally incredible tracks from other composers in the DLC too. And so such is the case that I think you’d also enjoy the new *the Twin Moon Knight* by Tai Tomisawa, *Saint of the Bud* by Tsukasa Saitoh, and *Messmer the Impaler* by Tsukasa Saitoh. Of course, these above tracks are boss titles. And hence why, if you prefer ambient story tracks, there’s an emotional one in Particular by Yuka Kitamura called *St. Trina*
This is giving me PTSD from my first DLC Playthrough
Please do Promised Consort as well, one of the best Fromsoft pieces ever
Worst
I could never focus on the music. Otherwise id be dead so it’s nice to finally listen to it outside the game
CURSE YOU DIVINE BEAST DANCING LION

Yooo, nice video, dude. I'm still waiting on that subnautica OST reaction. It has some gems that I'm sure you'll like!
Looking forward to the inevitable Midra reaction!
Totally should grab some more bloodborne music as well, there’s a lot of amazing pieces in that game
Please check out Regal Ancestor Spirit and Mohg, Lord of Blood themes next!!
Oh, Tony is doing Shadow of the Erdtree, love it! Can’t wait to see what you will say about Midir, the Lord of the Frenzied Flame, this might blow you away same way as Baldur‘s Gate 3 did. ❤
You definitely need to check Midra's theme and Promised Consort Radahn's Theme. Another great one would be the Tree Sentinel Theme but those first 2 are top tier
You’ve gotta listen to “annihilation” by rob Westwood, it’s the ost for the final boss of remnant 2, such a masterpiece
You're so based for this. My game of the year
You know it’s going to be good if the video is practically 18 minutes long for a 3 minute ost
I would like to see your reaction to "The Lord of Frenzied Flame", it's one of my favorite Elden Ring OST pretty cool and unique. It's basically the order that came with the chaos
The musical change breaks occur whenever the boss decides to not hold back anymore. Eldenring and its predecessors are no for multi stage bosses. Therefore the music changes whenever the boss becomes more aggressive
Please do “Shiro” which was in the wolf’s rain anime! It’s really really really good. Only 2 mins long but it’s actually one of the best pieces ever composed.
For boss soundtracks, especially for games like elden ring, it could be cool to see you react to the boss fight itself with the music to get some more context for it after going over just the music alone like usual
I actually think it’s better, and quite unique, that the music specialists react to the Music and music alone. It gives the audience an unbiased / unfiltered sense of understanding of Music that the reactor can impart to us. If they have context on the screen, then their analysis can get skewed and biased based on what they see, rather than what they hear.
Regardless, often times good Music reactors like Marco and Tony have such a deep understanding of music that they can decipher the narrative of the boss based on the music alone anyways. No need for Visual clues
@@HeevaEgo I agree that the unbiased reaction is the most valuable part to this, but I was just suggesting seeing the visuals with the music at the end of the video after doing the usual reaction without visuals. It could be a fun little thing for him to see what he felt during the song reaction compared to what it’s actually complementing in the game like the phase transition part
This song really sticks in my head, playing all day. Actually, this was the first EVER souls boss where I had to turn off the music because it was distracting me so much. Between the music and the bosses absolutely astounding animations, it might be my favorite boss fight.
Bad taste. The music is ok, nothing special, the boss is easy and boring. One of the worst bossess designed
Also you are a weirdo, how can music distract you? How? That's like not normal, seek help
@@mihaimercenarul7467dude is just hating for the sake of hating
Please PLEASE do Promised Consort from Elden Ring!
Midra lord of frenzied flame def gotta be next or messer
Whoever wrote the music for this did a divine job. If you close your eyes and just let your body be twken over by the music, you can feel the exact movements the lion makes.
Are you ok? I think you need therapy.
Anotha jojo one you could listen to is d4c’s theme (fan made) most ppl already deemed it to be quite the banger that’s worthy of the character.
You might as well check out rest of the Elden Ring dlc OST, its that dam good! 👍🤠
Yaaawn
You should listen to The Saint of The Bud, or Bayle The Dread! These 2 are perhaps my favorites and I honestly cannot stop listening to them
I'm the rare person when I notice certain instruments when playing games. I'm just a sucker for video game soundtracks.
You should definitely checkout some of the MHW OST, like safi'jiva, bazelgeuse, alatreon and fatalis themes!
Great video! I hope you'll do more from shadow of the erdtree.
love this ost!!
The Promised Consort next please!
Tony i suggest you to check out "God only knows" by A-one its amazing
Would love to have you react to the „Lord of frenzied flame“ track!!! That one is WILD!!!!
You should check out the music from Vivy Fluorite eye's song when you get the chance! As well as Guilty Crown first OP, Hikaru No Go Op 1 and ending 1, Black Lagoon Op 1 and ending 1, Shangri-la Frontier - Ending | Ace, Vysache Vorpal Blacksmith Song, Shangri-la Frontier - Ending | Gajumaru: Heaven in the Rain
^.^
Cant wait for witch hat atelier ost😊
You absolutely need to listen to "The Promised Consort" !!! Best piece of the DLC for me
ELDEN RING - Midra Lord Of Frenzied Flame OST
best elden ring ost
Haha no
We need Promised Consort reaction
You should definitely react to Midra, Lord of the Frenzied Flame OST from Elden Ring, it’s one of my favorites
I was busy getting my ass beat over and over again by the dancer lion, so I never had the time to appreciate how powerful this soundtrack was
Yeah this boss was such a joke. I beat it first try. Like who would lose to this easy boss more than 3 times? Lmao
@@mihaimercenarul7467 dude is not cool
@@ieatcrayons7314 skill issue
Hoping that you listen to Bayle’s theme next
I love how you can feel this more asian vibe from this OST, while most of Fromsoft's orchestral OSTs feel very western. It really fits the appearance of this boss as this traditional lion dance
A barongsai that is being used to fight.
Midra midra midra midra midra
Hope Bayle’s theme is next
Yesss thanks sir. Can you do with de Lorian Soundtrack from Dark Souls 3?
You would love the The promised consort ost
More Elden ring ost's!!
Do Bayle The Dread's theme
The promised consort is worth a listen too
Can we have Mohg, Lord of Blood next?
Hey Tony! I’ve been watching your content for a while now and I know you’re really getting into video game music and anime music. But I was wondering if you could react to the album ‘An evening with silk sonic’. I really like the music a lot and I think you would too!
NeXt Midra lord of franzied flame please
Check out the Lord of Frenzied Flame ost!
I'd love more elden ring vids!
would love it if you reacted to some gintama ops/eds anyways love the content keep it up!!
Would love if you also listened to Promised Consort!
you gotta listen to LeaF at some point. i recommend doppelganger and aleph0. im sure a lot of people would like to see that
Wpuld you react to the elusive samurai op? Fun op to hear
Tony You need to listen to - Blood borne music :)
like Bram Stoker Dracula on steroids
Hey man, i know you probably wont do this but can you react to "Sleeping In The Cold Below"? Its a song from warframe💀
God, Warframe has the most insane music. I would love for him to react to Smiles from Juran
