@@literatemax “A Glacier Eventually Farts” is somehow both simultaneously, which shouldn’t even be possible. Chris’ skill at titling songs puts the rest of us to shame
2:28 when this hit it was one of the most climatic moments I’ve ever had It has been a couple of hours of me and my friend trying to beat the false son, dying to that laser in phase 2 more times than I would like to admit to. We FINALLY got to phase 3 and the most jaw dropping, insane, transcending and godly music hit while everything was stripped away from us due to the lighting It felt so insanely cool, everything coming together at once to make such a perfect dance between the fight of our lives and the music of the storm Safe to say we died. We got back to the fight a good hour later, I died trying to even finish the parkour to get to the boss but half way through phase 2 my friends bottled chaos revived me, so I ran as fast as I could to him. 15 seconds after I got to him he died, so it was up to me to beat the boss. I got him to phase 3 and had one of the most intense but godly fights, similar to my first mithrix run It was just me and the false son, standing upon the sky in one final battle The music blasting so heavenly as I fought and ran to finally win just once truly gave me emotions I so adore He was down to 1000 hp or so, I charge up one last supercharge shot, use my utility to launch myself into the sky, hit a little 360 for style points and shoot him straight through the heart, finally beating the boss that took me so long. Without the music, I wouldn’t be talking about this. The music added so much to this moment and turned it from an achievement on steam into a memory for months, making it one of my favorite memories I’ve had from gaming in a while. Thank you Chris for making a soundtrack that not only hits insanely hard, but also makes some of the best memories with how heavenly it can be, making it all just perfect.
Before I never understood how people could cry just because something was so beautiful... but this moment... I teared up a little when listening to it in-game
Your music sounds like happy Sisyphus. Admiration to this existential crisis, dancing with it, being peaceful with it, crying with it, healing with it, making a sacrifice for it, being friends with it.
Chris said on, one of the Survivors of the Void commentaries, something along the lines of wanting to do more with that musical idea, I like seeing he held onto that desire
@@AstronautDown When SOTV came out, i had just started weightlifting and it honestly fueled my motivation cuz the gym felt like I was in an unfamiliar place (void maps) and I had to conquer my fear through exploration of trial and error 🤣
I am in awe in front of your music. I don't have an exceptional ear, but your tunes and crafts always transport me and carry me. Giving a soul on the Risk of Rain franchise but also when i need some me time, drive or travel, your albums make all of them so much more magical ! And i will keep showing my gratitude and support for this piece and the next. Best regards from France.
I appreciate this immensely, but I really think you should just buy the album on Bandcamp (you can give as much above the asking price as you want if you feel so inclined). I would much rather know that you got the music in return for your very generous support! ❤️
@@whatdidijustgetmyselfinto the feeling that he already agreed with his death and now just wants to take us with him makes my heart stop for a moment, and with the 2:28, you can FEEL the storm
I love how Chris' music embody struggle, and the overcoming of them, through everything his unique flair brings to the table Will never stop being grateful that everything happened just so he could be compose for Risk of Rain
Sounds like this transitions into "Through a Cloud, Darkly" which clearly means you must go back and listen to the entire Risk of Rain 2 album 413 times for Chris to personally deliver Seekers of the Storm to your house
Chris, you're legitimately one of the best, most talented musicians i've ever had the magnificent pleasure of hearing, and as many have described it before my, your music is otherworldly. I wonder , if in some past life or timeline, you were a master classical composer, because i cannot fathom anything else to explaing why you are so good at this
Holy fucking shit, the absolute melting level of fever pitch that solo at 2:29 reaches is fucking insane. Easily one of my favorites of yours yet. They let my man loose and look how much he went off! God I love it
'A Placid Island of Ignorance ' seems to be the theme for this DLC. But instead of conveying dread as it originally did it sounds more sad and desperate, if that makes sense, as if what we are witnessing is a tragedy. Amazing work as usual Chris.
The name Oṃ Maṇi Padme Hūṃ translates to "to praise the jewel in the lotus" if anyone is wondering. Its like a buddist text or something idk im no religion💀💀💀💀💀
I have a theory about that title. The DLC is called "Seekers of the Storm", right? So what are they seeking? The "eye of the storm"? The...jewel in the lotus? And if this song is "praising the jewel in the lotus"...could it be referring to the final boss of the DLC...? 🤔 Idk I'm probably not cooking. 🤷♂️ But Chris sure is. 👀
This is my favorite piece of music you have ever produced PERIOD. That long drawn synth solo feels so tragic! As if it’s crying out for the world to hear! This alongside all of your work deserves to be kept in a museum to be displayed as the art they are. Truly beautiful.
Chris, in the hardest of times, you come to bless me with your musical talents. I am beyond astonished with how far your music takes me. The enlightenment and motivation it brings me to continue pushing forward & to do better. I am a mere speck in your endless waves of fans, and I will continue to be one for the rest of my days. Thank you so much, Chris, for all that you do in this world.
@@dittyditto3764ngl I wish more games did framerate dependant gameplay. It is literally the pinnacle of good game design and I will eat as much slop as I am fed.
Also I love how much attention and care you put to the leitmotiffs and their placements in each track. Some of them are subtle and clever and others are recognizable and iconic. Cheers.
The last two minutes of this track made my jaw drop to the floor... Just when I think you've achieved perfection, you manage to outdo yourself again and again. Thank you for blessing us with your talent.
I'm sure you know how the game itself is right now. I've waited till the DLC release to listen to these in-game. but it is near impossible now and it might be for a long time. If Risk of Rain 2 is to go under, just know, wherever you end up working and making music I - and I'm sure many others too - will be there. There's simply isn't another musician out there who has such connection between their musical pieces, that they've basically created their own multiverse, with merely sounds. Fantastic work on these as always. At this point, I feel quality is guaranteed with you. This entire album has been phenomenal to listen to. One more thing. I'm not sure your Spotify bio is up-to-date or I'm just misunderstanding it, but please tell me you have won an award already. I refuse to believe you haven't. Thank you, Chris.
I know the dlc is still buggy, but this boss is easily my favorite main boss of the three, Mithrix is fast and climactic, Voidling is slow, yet imposing, but false son just some how beats both of them His words are extremely impactful and paired with the track and [THE EVENT] leaving you defenseless really feels like its a desperate fight until one of you breaks. I don't exactly know why I love his fight but the music is definitely part of it.
Just wanted to say thanks for sticking with risk of rain to this dlc, honestly i think Stavros is capable of putting out a good soundtrack if the track we got from him is anything to go off but i still really appreciate it, this ost is from your dna. the survivors of the void album is one of my favorites of all time, so seriously thanks for everything. And by the way if you get burnt out dont feel pressured to continue, i think most of the fanbase will be understanding and accepting, since ive read about how composing this has been exhausting.
Hey best composer Chris Christodoulou. I think this might actually be my new favourite song that’s you’ve composed, Maybe even my favourite ost song ever. I can’t wait to hear this in game and the two other parts to it. Keep up the amazing work! -Glace from Canada
That bridge from 1:53 then the solo... Damn. The nostalgic vibe of the chord progression followed by the epic crushing solo, it's overwhelming. And goddamnit it's in 7/8 + 6/8! You did a fckin' amazing work here, Chris, thanks.
Idc if the boss fight is too hard, not a hardcore fan, but the 2:28 part going along the phase where you are SO near to death is such a thrilling experience. Your life depends on the few columns there are and if you're not tactical (or not fast most of the time) enough you get slapped by that defeat screen so hard that mithrix could see your shame from the moon. idk that last phase is what gets me actually, gearbox added a lot of reviving stuff which kinda helps but it's still really hard. you can't really bruteforce your way out of this one, it's kinda like mithrix but the arena is much more smaller and the false son just bombards you with his attacks all the time. golems are buffy too and I actually like that you need to activate geodes to reset the lunar spike debuff. I'm probably talking too much about the game itself and not about the theme lol. This theme is perfect, I can't imagine it the other way, Chris you didn't cook... You burnt the whole planet in the best meaning possible. Now I'm wondering if you're gonna contribute in the ror franchise once again or somewhere else to cook even better. please keep it up, your music is electric
cannot express just how much your music inspires me artistically. this track goes unbelievably hard and the synth solo towards the end i think just immediately brought me closer to attaining spiritual enlightenment. thank you for continuing to make art through the years and i will always look forward to whatever you want to work on next :)
I swear I'd get the dlc just to listen to these bangers. The risk of rain franchise easily has some of the best OSTs of all time and it's all because of Chris. Don't stop being such a musical god
Chris you have no idea what beautiful, gorgeous, tear-jerking music you have blessed this world with, seeing this premiered actually gave me goosebumps all over
"None, None shall find me! Seekers of The Storm! Face my divine rule... and crumble...!" hearing 1:03 and those lines during the reveal trailer is something that stuck with me and further solidified my love for the risk of rain series, thanks for continuing to make peak.
I love the leitmotifs of "double fucking rainbow", "your gonna need a bigger ukelele", and "precipitation" while not too sure about precipitation it's amazing how you have composed a song that has feint story telling from 1 to 2 I can't really even put into words how insanely good this track is love your work.
Крис, огромное тебе спасибо! Я очень люблю твой саундтрек не только из-за потрясающего звучания и точного попадания в атмосферу игр, он также вдохновляет меня саму заниматься творчеством. Ещё раз спасибо, с наилучшими пожеланиями :)
I was playing with my friends, and when we hit phase three and the music just ascended... One of my friends said "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FOCUS WHEN ITS ALL OVER THE SCREEN DUDE!"
Literally the goat of video game soundtrack composers. As always you bless us with amazing tunes, you never fail to brigthen my day. I can't thank you enough for the amazing work you do
Chris dont miss is a saying for a reason I swear your music is like 50% of the reason i play ror2, i just cannot get over the rain formally known as purple
Not even half the album is out yet and it's easily some of the best work you've done. Just got round to pre-ordering and I'm so excited for the full release! Just wondering if you'll be doing another album commentary? I always love to hear your thought process and inspirations :D
Every single song off this DLC is an absolute banger. More than once i had to stop while playing and just listen. I cant think of any game I've done it this much as i have in RoR2. The game is good enough on its own, but it would never be as great as it is without your music.
Wish people would give the stage theme more credit 1:52 I absolutely love the use of it in the album release. A calm before the storm whilst overcoming the stages current deluge. The song that loops on Prime Meridian as you climb the ruthless spire, drowned out by the hailing spears of lightning. The traversal over fractured terrain builds a sense of awe, culminating at the summit. realizing who I was about to fight is something I really wish I could experience again. The buildup was ethereal.
Glad you like it! Of course it's the other way around, the part was extracted from the piece to become the level loop, not inserted in the album afterwards.
This might be my favorite work you've ever put out, you never miss. The slow melodic build up to the drop, and then the heavy loud guitar strumming accompanied by the higher electric screaming -- dancing between long somber notes and ecstatic twirls. Building up, you think it'd end but it just doesn't, it keeps going for so long. Getting more and more intense and more hyper in a way I can't describe, it feels like a tribute to Coalesence. masterful work.
Only just listening to the Seekers of the Storm OST with the release of the DLC. I had to turn up the music to 100 because WOW! Incredible job as always.
This piece is something else. Couldn’t help but just gawk at how incredible it was during every attempt my friend and I made at fighting the False Son. Every. Single. Attempt. Bravo Chris, you never fail to impress.
My favourite track of all dlc OST. The fast pace and grand feeling of this plus how fast and deadly False Son himself is.. Just great, it's been a long time since i was so excited about a boss fight
Was just playing A Tempestuous Noise of Thunder and Lightning Heard on loop while studying, and just listened to this. This better be stuck in my head during the test. That solo is....... really something to behold, thank you.
This is the crown jewel of the most impressive series of soundtrack artistry I've ever experienced. You have inspired me for over ten years now and you only get better. I play the games just to listen to the music. Congratulations. What a solo, what a song, and what a career. I dream of making songs like this.
False son isn't a perfect boss fight, but hes a damn good one, and this song is half the reason I like the fight so much. Hitting phase 3 for the first time, and 2:27 kicks in... i'm sorry, its peak. you can't make me hate it.
Chris, your music means a lot to me and you have been my top listened to artist for the past few years. Keep doing what ur doing because it's working! This is a banger soundtrack already
Chris had me thinking that it was just a slightly different version of "A Tempestuous noise of thunder and lightning herd", but the halfway through he got me rethinking everything about music. THIS ONE IS A FUCKING BANGER HOW DOES THIS MAN DONT MISS???
Details that remind me of past songs (excluding having fallen, and placid island) 2:10 i like how the instruments change here for the island motif, reminds me of like chanson, terra pluviam, nocturnal emission, etc 3:25 Very reminiscent of that one part in Antarctic Oscillation, you know the one. 3:44 Right when the solo wraps up, that distortion reminds me of the end of coalescence.

Idc if the boss fight is too hard, not a hardcore fan, but the 2:28 part going along the phase where you are SO near to death is such a thrilling experience. Your life depends on the few columns there are and if you're not tactical (or not fast most of the time) enough you get slapped by that defeat screen so hard that mithrix could see your shame from the moon.
idk that last phase is what gets me actually, gearbox added a lot of reviving stuff which kinda helps but it's still really hard. you can't really bruteforce your way out of this one, it's kinda like mithrix but the arena is much more smaller and the false son just bombards you with his attacks all the time. golems are buffy too and I actually like that you need to activate geodes to reset the lunar spike debuff. I'm probably talking too much about the game itself and not about the theme lol.
This theme is perfect, I can't imagine it the other way, Chris you didn't cook... You burnt the whole planet in the best meaning possible. Now I'm wondering if you're gonna contribute in the ror franchise once again or somewhere else to cook even better. please keep it up, your music is electric
i indeed did recieved that message
cannot express just how much your music inspires me artistically. this track goes unbelievably hard and the synth solo towards the end i think just immediately brought me closer to attaining spiritual enlightenment. thank you for continuing to make art through the years and i will always look forward to whatever you want to work on next :)
Oh wow! Another Chris upload on the horizon!
And his music was lightning.
I swear I'd get the dlc just to listen to these bangers. The risk of rain franchise easily has some of the best OSTs of all time and it's all because of Chris. Don't stop being such a musical god
This "ukulele" part hits REALLY HARD.
Thank you Chris.
Chris you have no idea what beautiful, gorgeous, tear-jerking music you have blessed this world with, seeing this premiered actually gave me goosebumps all over
"None, None shall find me! Seekers of The Storm! Face my divine rule... and crumble...!"
hearing 1:03 and those lines during the reveal trailer is something that stuck with me and further solidified my love for the risk of rain series, thanks for continuing to make peak.
I love the leitmotifs of "double fucking rainbow", "your gonna need a bigger ukelele", and "precipitation" while not too sure about precipitation it's amazing how you have composed a song that has feint story telling from 1 to 2 I can't really even put into words how insanely good this track is love your work.
Крис, огромное тебе спасибо! Я очень люблю твой саундтрек не только из-за потрясающего звучания и точного попадания в атмосферу игр, он также вдохновляет меня саму заниматься творчеством. Ещё раз спасибо, с наилучшими пожеланиями :)
I was playing with my friends, and when we hit phase three and the music just ascended... One of my friends said "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FOCUS WHEN ITS ALL OVER THE SCREEN DUDE!"
Chris its everywhere
This is like a Mashup of Placid Island of Ignorance and Having Fallen, It Was Blood. It is also awesome. Can't wait for the rest!!!
Literally the goat of video game soundtrack composers.
As always you bless us with amazing tunes, you never fail to brigthen my day. I can't thank you enough for the amazing work you do
It’s so good that I can here it before it’s released
Chris dont miss is a saying for a reason
I swear your music is like 50% of the reason i play ror2, i just cannot get over the rain formally known as purple
Not even half the album is out yet and it's easily some of the best work you've done. Just got round to pre-ordering and I'm so excited for the full release! Just wondering if you'll be doing another album commentary? I always love to hear your thought process and inspirations :D
hello i love your videos
I want to do one for this but it's a hard one to talk about for various reasons.
@@AstronautDown Ah, I see. Thank you for replying anyway 🙂
When I saw this on the homepage I screamed. Can't wait!
Broooo,we getting good music,YESSSSSS
I can only expect this level of Quality from you, Chris. Fucking banger.
Every single song off this DLC is an absolute banger. More than once i had to stop while playing and just listen. I cant think of any game I've done it this much as i have in RoR2. The game is good enough on its own, but it would never be as great as it is without your music.
Love your works from Turkey and love RoR2
Warm regards, neighbour!
Wish people would give the stage theme more credit 1:52 I absolutely love the use of it in the album release. A calm before the storm whilst overcoming the stages current deluge.
The song that loops on Prime Meridian as you climb the ruthless spire, drowned out by the hailing spears of lightning. The traversal over fractured terrain builds a sense of awe, culminating at the summit. realizing who I was about to fight is something I really wish I could experience again. The buildup was ethereal.
Glad you like it! Of course it's the other way around, the part was extracted from the piece to become the level loop, not inserted in the album afterwards.
“And then I started SHREDDING”
Been seeking this storm for so long
3:25 antarctic oscillation???
Imagine if this amazing musician made music for deep rock galactic
Crossover of the century
This might be my favorite work you've ever put out, you never miss. The slow melodic build up to the drop, and then the heavy loud guitar strumming accompanied by the higher electric screaming -- dancing between long somber notes and ecstatic twirls. Building up, you think it'd end but it just doesn't, it keeps going for so long. Getting more and more intense and more hyper in a way I can't describe, it feels like a tribute to Coalesence. masterful work.
Only just listening to the Seekers of the Storm OST with the release of the DLC. I had to turn up the music to 100 because WOW! Incredible job as always.
This piece is something else. Couldn’t help but just gawk at how incredible it was during every attempt my friend and I made at fighting the False Son. Every. Single. Attempt. Bravo Chris, you never fail to impress.
I don’t know how I managed to comment this on the wrong track the first time, but I had to right my wrongs 🥲
chris you were the goat of this dlc.
thanks for being so good, we all appreciate you!
Thank you Chris i have been starving for some peak 😭
[ 2:28 ] Congratulations, Chris, you made me release my rage fury on the boss and also made me slowlly ascend to heaven with this banger.
Everyone’s talking about 2:27 but for me it’s specifically 3:25. That shit hits different
I think people mean the whole solo till the end from the beginning
The solo at 2:28 gave me such goosebumps that I don't think I will ever get to experience again.
Lets hear one more masterpiece, to be remembered in our dreams.
My favourite track of all dlc OST. The fast pace and grand feeling of this plus how fast and deadly False Son himself is.. Just great, it's been a long time since i was so excited about a boss fight
The GOAT of OSTs strikes again
Was just playing A Tempestuous Noise of Thunder and Lightning Heard on loop while studying, and just listened to this. This better be stuck in my head during the test. That solo is....... really something to behold, thank you.
Im looking forward to this soundtrack releasing more than anything else in the coming week. I am actually lost for words how good this is.
This is the crown jewel of the most impressive series of soundtrack artistry I've ever experienced. You have inspired me for over ten years now and you only get better. I play the games just to listen to the music. Congratulations. What a solo, what a song, and what a career. I dream of making songs like this.
"BREAK WITH ME."
“LET’S SEE WHO FRACTURES FIRST.”
2:28
This pierced directly into my soul. The solo had me twitching, open mouthed, and wide-eyed.
I love what you do, Chris. Kepe it up
u eva get that.. game ost... that makes u shit yourself shed a tear and shake uncontrollably
It’s such a blessing to have you on-call for this soundtrack. You nail it every time. Thank you for all your work, incredible stuff.
False son isn't a perfect boss fight, but hes a damn good one, and this song is half the reason I like the fight so much. Hitting phase 3 for the first time, and 2:27 kicks in... i'm sorry, its peak. you can't make me hate it.
“BREAK WITH ME.”
Chris, your music means a lot to me and you have been my top listened to artist for the past few years. Keep doing what ur doing because it's working! This is a banger soundtrack already
far better than Voidling fight
Chris had me thinking that it was just a slightly different version of "A Tempestuous noise of thunder and lightning herd", but the halfway through he got me rethinking everything about music. THIS ONE IS A FUCKING BANGER HOW DOES THIS MAN DONT MISS???
Details that remind me of past songs (excluding having fallen, and placid island)
2:10 i like how the instruments change here for the island motif, reminds me of like chanson, terra pluviam, nocturnal emission, etc
3:25 Very reminiscent of that one part in Antarctic Oscillation, you know the one.
3:44 Right when the solo wraps up, that distortion reminds me of the end of coalescence.
