You are a 6+ foot immortal viking with a greatsword, fighting in an icy desert next to a crashed Viking Longboat (which is also on fire) surrounded by the frozen mummies of your Viking comrades, beating a man to a bloody pulp with your greatsword, while Narwhals surround you and your flaming longboat and a barbaric Viking choir chants for your victory in the background. This is the most metal thing I've ever seen.
well, he isn't a viking. According to the official story he was created over 10,000 years ago, predating vikings by a HUGE amount. He may have lived among the vikings for a few hundred years during his long life, but he is basically an early Germanic caveman. He would have been alive before farming was a thing. He would have seen creatures that are long extinct today. He ate mammoth meat and fought off saber tooth cats and short faced bears. And his sword, which was created along side him, would have been the ONLY hardened steel tool/weapon in existence for at least 7,500 years. He was the only human being on the planet with blue eyes for at least 3000 years. He was alive before the ancient Egyptians, the Greeks, the Roman empire, etc. He outlived them all and probably participated in each. He watched as the human race went from disjointed tribes of hunter/gatherers to colonies of farmers, to settlements, to city states, to kingdoms to empires to the governments we have today. He's seen technology progress from sharpened stones tied to sticks, all the way up to the internet and smart phones of today. He has learned languages that no longer exist, and lived in countries and cultures forever lost to history. He doesn't even pursue relationships anymore because to him, every other person is just a tiny blip in his unending life. He was created by the gods for the soul purpose of destroying another god and has lived for over 10,000 years waiting to fulfill that purpose. I think that is far more metal than some burning boat and a few bloated corpses.
Tusk: "Stay here sword, I'll come back for you after I'm done doing German suplexes to Ghosts, skeletons, robots, Native Americans, werewolves, demons, and velociraptors"
I could definitely see Tusk facing down Nightmare. "It matters not the time, nor even the realm I find myself in. Evil shall always remain the same. And I will ensure that it feels the bite of my blade before I banish it from this world. For this is my *purpose* !"
"Let Evil come! For I am the watchman of the Gods!" - Tusk KI season 3 Such a badass, and he reminds of Ike from Smash. This is one man you don't mess with!
Tusk, do not take immortality as a curse, but as a blessing from Odin, to purge this world from evil. To be a symbol to those who still believe in the Goddesses and Gods of Valhalla. Like the Samurai, The way of the Nords is not and will never be over. The way of the Warrior is forever.
After the many centuries that had passed in Tamriel, the Dragonborn finally made it to foreign shores to face more challenges by machines, spirits and men of killer proportions.
God, I just love how Tusk's original appearance from *Killer Instinct 2* (or his past) slowly fades in as that little nod to his classic theme kicks in. Such a nice, badass touch! 😎😎😎 Taken from the Killer Instinct Wiki: *According to designer Adam "Keits" Heart, Tusk has found that he's an immortal swordsman, and unlike other returning characters he isn't a "remake/reboot" but the original Tusk from Killer Instinct 2 who has survived since the Neolithic age.*
He wears the tartan kilt of a Highlander, wields a large two-handed sword. This man rides with Vikings, but he's taken on the role of MY people. The SCOTTI.
With an added Viking motif thrown in for good measure. XD But yeah, even with his redesign, good to see the Conan inspiration is still present here. :)
Epic: The edited video to keep you glued to the screen, the music AND paying homage to the original... That overlay with the old Tusk theme made me respect the new theme. Like from me. Keep up the awesome work. I'd pay for this just out of respect. I still wish the old Tusk theme was more dominant. ;)
I've been looking for an edit like this. Hands down, the best edit of the song. All the other ones either aren't long enough, or they take way too long to build up the best part of the tune. Great work!
There is a part in this song that reminds me of a song Celldweller did for NFS most wanted. Such a cool feeling to recognize the style of an artist in two different genres.
Amazing job on Tusk, I was very curious if you'd come back for Season 3 and yes this video answers it. Please don't miss any parts on Kim Wu's theme man hers is the best of the four released so far, go ALL OUT on her theme bro ;)
YO!! for real tho, you got talent man, never think you wouldn't make it to big leagues, you already are on a legue of your own. Who else makes this kind of edit masterpieces for KI or any other game? I wouldn't even bother to look for KI songs in any other channel. I did once in the past, they suck in comparison to your quality.
You know I only listen to your edits, I've mustve added 100,000 views to the Aganos one already..working my way up on the Re edited version of Aganos too! Good job bro! Keep it up
TUSK! GIANT SWORD SWINGER'S PARTY @ ULTEMCIA'S THIS SATURDAY! BE THERE! CLOUD CAN'T MAKE IT THOUGH, HE HAS SOME REMAKE THING GOING ON IN JAPAN. SORRY BRO. I KNOW MAYA WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.

So much better than the version released on the official soundtrack. Not sure what went wrong with it but it just doesn't sound right. This sounds much better

Brutal 🤘🏽
Just in case you're wondering which language is used here, it's Bulgarian, but the Viking motif is still present.
Did not actually know that, thank you though that is interesting.

Kur Norock 100% True. I almost shed a tear after reading all what you posted.
Tusk: "Stay here sword, I'll come back for you after I'm done doing German suplexes to Ghosts, skeletons, robots, Native Americans, werewolves, demons, and velociraptors"
golems or human torches would have sounded more impressive than native americans ....
+MrTBSC you mean "little campfire"
and alien generals and anthropomorphic toads
Laurel Crown and a giant two headed guy
MrTBSC and a giant multi dimensional demon
Tusk would fit pretty well as a guest character in Soul Calibur.
I could definitely see Tusk facing down Nightmare.
"It matters not the time, nor even the realm I find myself in. Evil shall always remain the same. And I will ensure that it feels the bite of my blade before I banish it from this world.
For this is my *purpose* !"
Can we just agree that a battle between this guy and the dragon born would be fucking glorious
Wait until Killer Instinct 4 comes out and Dragonborn is a guest character
@@datanotfoundpleasetryagain3559 you mean never?
It would end with Tusk and Dovahkin doing the Predator Handshake as they respect each other's strength.
Here to crush his enemies, drive them all before him, and hear the lamentations of their women.
Is that a reference to what I think?
THAT IS GOOD!
nice Conan reference

"Let Evil come! For I am the watchman of the Gods!" - Tusk KI season 3
Such a badass, and he reminds of Ike from Smash. This is one man you don't mess with!
I agree. Also, Ike Vs Tusk for Death Battle?
+Nextgen Creator Oh hell yeah! That would kick ass, though I would be torn to choose who will win.
Tusk would just out-poke Ike with his deflect windows
+Nathanael Eugene Depends on if Ike would counter Tusk's attack. The match would be a seesaw constantly moving towards the other.
Tusk being immortal gives him a signifiant advantage against Ike though.
Tusk, do not take immortality as a curse, but as a blessing from Odin, to purge this world from evil. To be a symbol to those who still believe in the Goddesses and Gods of Valhalla.
Like the Samurai, The way of the Nords is not and will never be over.
The way of the Warrior is forever.
In any era of time literal or metaphorical, a mighty sword can make justice law
@@acemarvel1564 I will write that down for future generations to remember. Thank you.

Hahahaahah this comment bro
more like supersteroid Edge
Conan the Barbarian meets Vandal Savage meets the Dragonborn.
I put this song to play with the Viking Faction in For Honor! SO EPIC! KI had always the best Soundtrack in fighting games!
Love that buddy! great idea
Yup along with Guilty Gear.
guilty gear evolves, soul caliburs sinks, and with those awesome soundtrack let KI be reborn!
alver caine *this
Except SoulCal is better than ever now, so all 3 have been reborn
Mick gordon would be proud
Yeah he will be proud
From modern day barbarian ,to actual living legend. You can tell the writers had some fun
Best theme music in the game for me. Skyrim feel is al in this.
*AEEONS HAVE TEMPER TANTRUMED MY BLADE*
im getting a conan the barbarian vibe from this.....which is awesome :)
With an added Viking motif thrown in for good measure. XD
But yeah, even with his redesign, good to see the Conan inspiration is still present here. :)
He must have nostalgia for those movies
After all he must’ve been around during those years
His Classic theme in KI2 always gave off "Conan the Destroyer" vibes.
Anyone else think this would be an awesome wrestlemania track for an intro?

man tusk and rash's theme is good workout music
agreed
+MrSedgehammer Tusk is excellent weight lifting music. I play this song all the time at the gym.
+xXgoturpistolaXx All of killer instinct is excellent workout music :) This song however gives me goosebumps when I listen to it
Celdwelder must’ve wanted masculine guys to have masculine music
This is why I love your themes over all the others, it is interesting to listen to all the way through. Great Work!!
You're one of the few people that actually do this right.
2022 and still watching this. Thank you for the upload and the really cool graphics!!!
the in between segments with gameplay footage was a stroke of genius, so satisfying!
Epic: The edited video to keep you glued to the screen, the music AND paying homage to the original... That overlay with the old Tusk theme made me respect the new theme. Like from me. Keep up the awesome work. I'd pay for this just out of respect. I still wish the old Tusk theme was more dominant. ;)
This song raises my fighting spirit like nothing else
maximillian.................is that you ?
this is max during workout season
@@themacca277 Max is a dad now so the Tusk bod might not stick around. Man bout to be looking like Eyedol soon.
4:50 it's Tusk iconic theme
6:38 get the barbell. THE HEAVY BARBELL.
Finally AppealToTreason has comeback to killer instinctmania!!!
First Gargos, then Alduin, then Noobmaster.......
I still come to your channel often- you have by far- the best edits
I've been looking for an edit like this. Hands down, the best edit of the song. All the other ones either aren't long enough, or they take way too long to build up the best part of the tune. Great work!
There is a part in this song that reminds me of a song Celldweller did for NFS most wanted.
Such a cool feeling to recognize the style of an artist in two different genres.
3:42 RKO OUTTA NOWHERE
Wonderful Job as always, Treason. Always preferred your edits than Rkosmik's, although his are good too.
Amazing job on Tusk, I was very curious if you'd come back for Season 3 and yes this video answers it. Please don't miss any parts on Kim Wu's theme man hers is the best of the four released so far, go ALL OUT on her theme bro ;)
+Dragonlord Tevin Thanks bro, it feels good to be back at it.
+AppealToTreason I'm glad you enjoy doing this so much. You really should make a career out of music.
YO!! for real tho, you got talent man, never think you wouldn't make it to big leagues, you already are on a legue of your own. Who else makes this kind of edit masterpieces for KI or any other game? I wouldn't even bother to look for KI songs in any other channel. I did once in the past, they suck in comparison to your quality.
Dramatic theme, very fitting for this new version of Tusk!
This must be the song Thor listens to while he slays frost giants!
doing this song justice by playing For Honor as vikings to it.
Alex Mercer mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I guess
Tusk and highlander would get along just fine
This make my Nordic Blood Boil!! I feel like I could deadlift a planet right now!
Your username should be AppealToEars cause that's what your music does.
i don't think this is their music.... just edited it together proper
I always get goosebumps on the celebration part
You picked a bad time to get lost, friend.
Shockingly heavy for a video game character. On speakers, this shit bangs. Especially when the choir kicks in. 💀 🌩 😈
Godlike!!!
You know I only listen to your edits, I've mustve added 100,000 views to the Aganos one already..working my way up on the Re edited version of Aganos too! Good job bro! Keep it up
That Slo Mo Spinal Suplex...Tusk was taking opponents to Suplex City...err...Suplex Village? Thousands of years before Brock Lesnar...
Listening to this while hunting monsters on the Isles of Skellige in The Witcher makes it that much more awesome.
Although this is for the Nords
This would've been a badass theme for Kratos.
It even has Kratos vibes to it
Oh, fuck me. This is *absolutely amazing*.
this dude is my only way to listen to these great theme keep doin you man please
I love you mr... your KI mix are amazing. Thanks
sadly his combo breaker is not a FUS RO DAH
Great job. I really appreciate you getting the combo theme completely.
the best tusk theme, you are great man
The best mix on UA-cam
i was looking for tusks theme from steel ball run but this is better
Dragon Born Thor looks bad ass
always excited to hear your edits man!!
Best theme of Season 3 in my opinion.
4:48
*DAH!* ~Tusk (KI Gold, Killer Instinct 2)
You just earned a sub from me. Wicked edit man.
Best theme in season 3 by far.
viking masculinity is what we should all strive for.
Best theme of the game.

Picking up a Game of Thrones crossed with Alestorm vibe from this.
