I don’t think people give commando enough credit as a character this is a normal human who was willing to give up everything including his humanity to avenge the Contact Light and save his friends.
@@generalzeta7000 Risk of Rain's story is all in the environment and logbooks. Take the time to read some, I enjoyed spending time piecing together the story.
One of my favorite things about Gavs music is how he tries to make it sound like it could be in the game or uses instruments that would be from the region the game takes place in if it has a real world setting
As someone who put over 2000 hours into Risk of Rain 2, I can't believe I didn't realize this song was inspired by it. If I had listened to it a couple of times, fully, I would have noticed the vibes from the instruments and the lyrics. I can play this song on repeat while playing Risk of Rain 2 and the music doesn't feel off at all, it feels like it was made for it.
@@hmmmooops They mean crashing the game as in a critical failure of the program (in this case by overloading it with how much shit is going on). Since RoR (both of them) embrace absurdity and chaos, crashing the game is almost like a rite of passage.
Nice work. The note of the music really blends well with the scenery. I had one point where I suddenly realized there hadn't been any lyrics for a while, just instrumental that fit the scenes.
I'm convinced that you would be able to remix this song along with "They'll never find us". Both songs have a very similar vibe to it, at least for me that is.
It would be funny if he would do what he does sometimes: do "acoustic" version, when he refers to previous songs. For example: *_Incandescent_* have references to *Where I Belong* . *_Apocalypse State if Mind (Acoustic)_* have references to *Ashes* I'm positive that there's another one example, but I can't remember now. Anyway, not exactly acoustic, but some VIP, which refers to _They'll Never Find Us_ indeed would be great.
Hi Aviators, I've been following your music for the past 8-ish years. The first song I heard was Open Your Eyes, and it's been an amazing journey ever since. Keep up the amazing work, and thank you.
I didn't know either. If I had listened to the song the whole way through a few times I could have probably figured it out, because of the distinct sounds from the instruments. The lyrics could be for several games, but, they really do fit Risk of Rain very well.
I actually don't know anything about Risk of Rain, but this has been my favorite track on this album since I first heard it several months ago. I think it's because it has the moody Lovecraftian vibe about barely-knowable alien terrors, but the line "our nightmares will evolve - and so must we" strikes a very different tone. Humanity may have a very small place in the universe, but it was built to adapt and overcome challenges, and it has been very successful in that regard. The alien horrors may be insurmountable, but they might not be, and it is at the core of our nature to change however is necessary to overcome and survive. Not knowing the original inspiration, I got a "apocalyptic war with aliens that humanity is slowly starting to win" vibe from it.
Basically a spaceship crashes in an alien planet, where everything, including the planet is trying to kill the survivors, who fight and fight until they face god himself, but at the end, are they truly still themselves?
@@undeadlordmonroe1794 I also love that the end boss ''god'' is just a person that decided to stay when his brother left since had no hopes for the planet anymore.
@@randomspectator4417 Is that how it ended? I remember in the early days his brother was even asking him to come with him since there was nothing left to do for the planet anymore.
@@nitwriter4804 ahhhh, you haven't gotten to all the logs. So, story of the brothers is they are stuck on planet, Mith figures out crafting and wants to do it with Prov, they have fun, but Prov is really attached to living things while mith sees em as toys. Eventually Prov views Mith as too cruel, and when they test out a gate system, Mith goes first, and Prov breaks it behind him, trapping him on the moon
somehow missed this one when it came out, but you absolutely nailed it. perfectly encapsulated everything about Risk of Rain 2, from the chilling lyrics to the almost alien backing track. you managed to harness the feel of Chris Christodoulou's perfect soundtrack into a perfect song, with an instrumental that sounds like it could have been ripped straight out of the game. outstanding work as usual
I love your music man. I remember listening to this when I was in class during covid and wondering "what's this Risk of Rain 2?" Not only did I get this amazing song which I still listen to today, but I got a bunch of great memories with my friends. Thank you!
Oh wow, I didn't expect to suddenly remember the lyrics and want to listen to this now, now with a feeling of greater empathy. Music helps us deal with the challenges of life -- and for many people, the difficulty just hit 'monsoon', with no sign of slowing down.
Welll this is a good way to star my morning aviators lol just woke up from thy alarm and Avi pops up!!!!🕯 have a good day everyone ^_^ oh also this is the first time I believe Aviators doesn't have an introduction to his stage name so yeah, that's pretty cool Aviators!.
This is one of my favorite tracks for Dreams of the Deep album. The instrumental gives a great atmosphere of prepping yourself to survive in the world created around you. It's the first time I ever heard of the game Risk of Rain 2. If I have the time, I'll give it a shot just for the heck of it. Probably die a lot like many other games like Dark Souls, Halo, Bloodstained Curse of the Moon and plenty of others.
I haven't played the new one. The first one didn't grab me. I would have never guessed this game was inspired my Risk of Rain 2. It's so awesome, the song and the inspiration! You're awesome!
You have such an incredible vocal range. Being able to lay down that nice lower deep end voice, the high end going as well, all along with your video production. The way your go through and make it so atmospheric with everything you do. Please, PLEASE Keep doing what your doing. It's..so good. and you are one of the most underrated music creators out there. Your music has wholly inspired full on Plots for stories, Characters, worlds, everything. Thank you for creating such amazing music.
I'm so glad one of my favorites from the album made it to youtube xD It's gloriously haunting and surprisingly catchy. Certainly a treat to see this in my notifications today!
I love this game and I love your music. I'd be very interested to hear more from you on this game especially if you have been looking into the story from logs and such. Two sibling child gods side by side slowly figuring out molding matter and life itself until they turn against someone alongside a cast of sci-fi characters with a dystopian theme to each of them. The slow pace of the song surprised me as I wasn't expecting it, although it works well along with the character focused narrative. However I think a song in the pace of the game would be really cool to hear especially from you. Stay safe, stay awesome
Been a bit since I last listened to any of your music, but this popped up in my recommended and I had to listen. Ror2 is one of my favourite games to play, and I just love the soundtrack so much. Haven't heard of anyone making fan songs or songs inspired by it, so I was immediately interested when I saw this.
Fantastic song once again!!! My friends and I use it on our monsoon runs in RoR2 to flow from beast to beast. Thanks for another track to make memories to!
I'm such a fan of yours. Recommend you to everyone I can. Thank you for such a beautiful music. It's touching and calming at the same time. And I didn't find anyone else who would perform something similar. I've listened my favourite songs so many times and never grow tired. If you wake me up in the middle of the night and order to sing, I would probably sing "When our bodies wash ashore" :D Please keep making your beautiful music!
Absolutely brilliant, I love the attention to detail you've got with this piece and the effort you've gone through to take inspiration from the main OST while still having your own sound.
It's crazy to think I've been listening to your songs for almost a decade, from back in the MLP days with Friendship and Constellations to the amazing Soulsborne songs like Angel of the Dark and the recent Outside, and of course your completely original themed songs like Godhunter and Glow. And this here is another hit, just as I've started to play RoR2 you show up with this song, and I absolutely love it! Here's to another decade of amazing songs!
sounds to me like this comes from the perspective of bandit; deep southern voice, gentle and quiet as if not trying to be heard by the enemy "take a look across the hordes if you don't trust me" also drives that point for me; the safe travels crew probably wouldn't want to trust this guy who is armed to the teeth, has stealth gear and a clear intent to steal, and wasn't there when they left for petrichor
The best kind of thing to wake up to in the morning. I don't know the first thing about Risk of Rain but I do know that I love this song. I love how atmospheric it is, and it certainly makes me interested in the game
crash course... ship dissapears near unknown planet... you try and escape (ror 1) 'no survivors' ror 2, rescue crew arrives, all hope is lost... try and survive to escape...
As an instrumental, this song could also play on a boss map in Risk of Rain 2, with the guitar part of the middle while fighting the endboss in his last phase. It`s done really great, good job!
The song: Solemn, steady The game: 10 STACKS OF ROCKET LAUNCHER PROC 10 STACK DAGGER PROC STICKY BOMB PROC PROC PROC CLEAR OFF HALF THE MAP IN ONE FELL FART OvErLoAdInG WoRm
I just started playing this game again after a few months and now I get this. I cannot tell you how hyped I am to listen to this song. God, Risk of Rain is a such a good game.
Our nightmares will evolve, And so must we. Rings truer to real life as well the more I think about it... And what a weird game indeed, it's unlike any other I ever liked, yet addicting as hell. And I found out about it thanks to this, so double thanks for both the song and the game!
I don’t think people give commando enough credit as a character this is a normal human who was willing to give up everything including his humanity to avenge the Contact Light and save his friends.
THERE A STORY!!?
@@generalzeta7000 have you even read the item descriptions? theres a bunch of it.
@@generalzeta7000 Risk of Rain's story is all in the environment and logbooks. Take the time to read some, I enjoyed spending time piecing together the story.
He is my main and my best character. He can be an absolute Chad if you know how to play him well
@@CaptainFisticuffs0 I admit I only played in beta when most descriptions where not even in the game yet. And I had people to play with.
Imagine my shock when I found out that this game didn't have murderously dangerous rain
Maybe not murderously dangerous rain, but there's definitely a murderously dangerous rain of enemies.
For that I recommend rain world

Aviators making a RoR2 song was not something I knew I needed
A song about Risk of Rain 2 of all things, was not something we ever expected to see. A pleasant surprise to be sure.
@Discobolus the Coyote On that we fully agree.
Btw, RoR is the only game, where crash message is a proper ending.
There are lots of games like that actually. It's a well-established trope.
ah yes when you achieve enlightenment and the game runs out of memory. i know it well
what does that mean?
@@hmmmooops They mean crashing the game as in a critical failure of the program (in this case by overloading it with how much shit is going on). Since RoR (both of them) embrace absurdity and chaos, crashing the game is almost like a rite of passage.
I love the fact that a large chunk of the playerbase agrees that there should be a crash counter in the stats menu.

Not gonna lie... that would be very interesting. I wonder if my limited knowledge of music can pull that off👀
It would be funny if he would do what he does sometimes: do "acoustic" version, when he refers to previous songs.
For example:
*_Incandescent_* have references to *Where I Belong* .
*_Apocalypse State if Mind (Acoustic)_* have references to *Ashes*
I'm positive that there's another one example, but I can't remember now. Anyway, not exactly acoustic, but some VIP, which refers to _They'll Never Find Us_ indeed would be great.
Wolves (Acoustic) references Reflections of a Dream
Omg I would ADORE that!
Hi Aviators, I've been following your music for the past 8-ish years.
The first song I heard was Open Your Eyes, and it's been an amazing journey ever since.
Keep up the amazing work, and thank you.
Bro that was my first Avi song too (but I heard the Spectra remix first lol)
@@TheSwordofFlames Mine was the original, and I was in my first/second year of college.
Hard to believe it's been that long, already...
not nearly that long but yeah i feel same way
Mine was resurrection
Mine was one of the fnaf ones. I think it was "our little horror story", or any of the ones around that time
You really channeled your inner Chris Chris Christodoulou, I wouldn't be surprised if this was found in the actual game.
Didn't know this song was inspired by Risk of Rain 2. Nice surprise.
I honestly love that so many of his songs just sound normalish, then you just see the game title next to it and it suddenly makes way more sense.
Same I thought it was dark souls

I was like yo nice that exists ?

One of my personal favorite songs from the album, about one of my personal favorite games in recent memory? Glad to see it on UA-cam already.
Wow what a pleasent surprised! Really beginning to notice risk of rain 2 picking up in popularity
Hell yeah this game deserves it
This song and all the comments here about the game are really making me want to play it! Gonna go look it up right now.. it sounds really interesting.
Anyone else wanna talk about the fact that they are representing a game about Time Management and Racing the Clock, by litteraly freezing time.
Avi is such an underrated and amazing musician
I don't know if it's the cold in the air or this song but I got chills watching this
Every time Aviators post's you know your going to be listening to it for the next 36 months.
True.
over 36 monthes later, still coming back
Oh wow, I didn't expect to suddenly remember the lyrics and want to listen to this now, now with a feeling of greater empathy. Music helps us deal with the challenges of life -- and for many people, the difficulty just hit 'monsoon', with no sign of slowing down.
I’ve always felt this to be your best song of your latest album, but even listening to it again blows me away.
OMG YESSSSS, THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
heard this song spotify, would not have guessed it was a risk of rain song. But now it makes so much sense
I love the use of the Risk of Rain OST melodies in there. Subtle, yet amazing.
Welll this is a good way to star my morning aviators lol just woke up from thy alarm and Avi pops up!!!!🕯

I'd say it's worth giving it a try. It's really addicting, and fun alone or w/ friends
Its a roguelike, so you will die a lot and its a blast with friends and the soundtrack is the best ive ever heard
never fails to give me chills from the base to the end of my spine
