You could also say derailed. The deep notes on this version's base is insane. And it's a masterful combination of both into one offspring that's even more mad than his two parental predecessors.
I think of it as the first two being sadistic with a touch of madness but the prince being truly insane, unpredictable, and with enough wit to take down his opponents without raising a finger
I like to think that there's a story happening here with the Mad Ruler songs. We start off with the King, probably in his old age and wearied by it, has a mental break from the trauma of seeing too many horrors in his life as well as committing all of those horrors himself. The Old King breaks under the weight of years. In response, his wife the Queen has him assassinated for showing weakness and breaking under the pressure of said atrocities. She assumes power and rules with a Cloak and Dagger. A true Queen of Ice and Knives. The Prince is raised by his mother to believe that his father was a strong man who gave into weakness at the end of his life and so she teaches her son to be strong no matter what. How does the Prince respond to this? By staging a coup on the Queen and placing himself on the throne, drinking his parents blood and believing that by "becoming" them he has a chance to exceed them! A Prince who saw his parents murder as the only sane thing worth doing.
PTSD after dealing with the devil himself. Queen usurped the throne. The Prince after both parents dead now has a throne to himself... Until he is dethroned by the next mad being.
@@Niyto I'm in favor of a Mad Princess. Not just to complete the set of the family but because a purplish/pinkish little girl sitting on the stone throne with all three of her family's heads sitting at her way-too-short-for-such-a-big-throne feet while she smiles the biggest and creepiest smile imaginable for a little girl.
Yeah? With a child princess, she could easily poison that drink over there. Don't know about the head though. Sure it's a crazy family but that would mean she dug up the previous monarchs.
@@Niyto fair enough. I just want to see a little kid ruin a bloodline and proudly own it like it was easy as learning how to walk. Also I feel she deserves some Joker vibes for her story because she's the one who succeeded her family's blood feud, even though by rights you would think that she should've been the first one to die or the last to be remembered, like Joker.
Actually, life spans could be surprisingly long in the Middle Ages, especially for rulers. The primary forces pushing down life expectancies were war and a truly absurd infant mortality rate, but in particular if you made it past childhood even peasants could live into their sixties regularly.
"Father dearest, mother mine, your bloodied throne, how divine; Maddened King, hear her sing, by my strings, tattered wings, father's head severed, his kingdom left tethered to her grin mired in sin - - Father dearest, have you seen? Your lovely Queen, her fate obscene, she joins you now in hellish dream~ Your bloodied throne, how divine~ You're both dead, and now it's mine~" The Mad Prince
“In the early days, we believed the bloodline had been culled of its twisted corruption. That the madness of the king and queen would not bleed into the mind of their son, our prince. It seems I must admit with great regret, we were mistaken; we made the wrong bet..” ~ Anlo Thorp, Burgomaster.
"Most unfortunate indeed. He now has lost his sanity, perhaps more so than his parents before him. And yet, there is hope, for my sources tell me the Crown of Spines has refused his head. Perhaps one other will stand to rule in his stead?"
@@thecomposerchanginggames5250 “A bittersweet revelation, truly. Such is the darkness held within his heart, that the crown would fear to rest upon his head. You say there is hope that another will carry the weight, I believe for that; it may be too late. The Crown sits at his Feet, a badge, a reminder of our most sinister defeat. The king we feared, the queen we loved, the prince we failed.. this curse is ours..” ~ Mykal Fayed, Prophet of the Eyes of Rok
The cursed bloodline must be purged or the curse of the crown of spines will continue to befall us. Just like those who came before the King, Queen and now the prince I fear it is the only but if there is a light somewhere in the darkness we must find it to end the war and chaos of madness.

“We called his parents mad. Aye his father was cruel with a penchant for executions, and aye his mother plotted and schemed the downfall of her enemies with no remorse but now. Now we see what two people like that can make. He’s unhinged, decadent and worst of all he’s strong enough both in body and mind to keep hold his throne. This Prince is madness unleashed truly, one can only hope his sister is an exception to the rule of this bloodline.”
The mad prince: I like this one she has very nice eyes Royal advisor: should I arrange a meeting with her The mad prince: no you misunderstood me I like her eyes. I want her eyes Royal advisor: as you wish your majesty
I can just picture the advisor's face after the prince says: I want her eyes. The pause as he stops to think about it for a moment and then is like: As you wish your majesty. lol
I am pleased. I enjoyed the deep bass background thump (the best I can describe it as) that happens for the breaks in the song. I also feel the high discordant tones compliment the theme of the song well. One idea, if you want to do one last Mad song, you should do “The Mad Exile.” He is basically a member of the family who was cast out from the kingdom and has returned to take the throne since the kingdom is weaker now. He is bent on revenge, and when he takes the throne he will restore it to its former glory (or better).
God, this is my favorite now. It's so heavy and intense. I knew it was going to be badass when someone joked about "First king, then queen, what next? Mad Prince?" and you liked it. I just knew if it was going to happen it would be glorious and look now. Glorious indeed!
This is really good. I think this is what happens when People Blindly elect someone to a Higher Authority without his qualifications. This music tells the fate of that Nation's Downfall.
Rok Nardin is back at it again!?!?! Yaaaaaaaassss!!!!!!!! This was well worth the wait, and I wait with excitement for the next addition to the mad court!!! This was brilliant!!!!
I'm doing the same. I'm hoping we get the Mad Jester at some point. Also, someone else had commented that this series of songs should end with the Mad Throne because that is what all of them are fighting for. I thought that was a cool way of thinking about it.
" In that moment of passion they had sewn all of their sadness, hatred, grief, and madness into a beloved child. So bright he was, our sun had finally risen......we could not imagine what horror could become when passed down through generations.....Blinded as we were by his light.....we could not see the red at the edge of the gleaming horizon."
Let's goooooo!!!! This series has got to be some of the best """"Epic"""" music there is tbh. I love using it for my private dungeons and dragons sessions, for those insane (Mad if you will ;)) encounters.
So here the MAD series continue...thank you so much!! we shall wait for arrival of the princess,maybe even knight Mad dragon would be badass name as well
"Speak not of the prince. He saw the horrors of the second war of madness and decided they were lovely." Perhaps it would be best to actively purge the scions of this accursed lineage from whom it seems madness is entrenched. - Last entry of a bloodstained journal belonging to the archmage and a disjointed response. "You first"
This "Mad" series is so amazing, and has so much material for expansion. Can you imagine a Mad Jester? You could go pretty chaotic with that. I see others asking for a Mad Princess too, or you could do a Mad Knight. I'm just finding myself playing these 4 songs on loop for the last several weeks.
“My parents failed to see a greater goal, they had only wanted influence over the lands but I see peoples minds, while my parents played war with generals from nations across the seas, I wove my influence into the societies of every great empire of this age, at my whim I could crumble nations to dust just by saying it true, you may have heart hero but everyone falls eventually, you will just fall far sooner the others.”
Can't wait to see if we'll get nobility after the royalty... "The Mad Baron", "The Mad Count", "The Mad Knight", all that....Can't wait to see and hear it!
My parents were small minded, whiny, and slow. They failed to grasp what larger powers lay within our lands. Gold and silver and precious jewels lie beneath the mountains. And I want them. We shall unbury the rushes of our lands and use them as vessels for our great machines. Let them fund our armies efforts. And when we are finished, I and I alone, shall sit upon a throne made of gold
Incredible song. I've never feel like that much of a mad scientist while studying chemistry with this song in background. Thank you so much Rok Nardin !
The lead up to that snap, you think you catch your breath and then it continues with the taunts of the foot steps as the prince runs up to you. My god he entices me. He mezmerizes me. Im happy to be his victim. Im not kidding this makes me smile so big!!! It soothes my soul! I almost feel his maddness coursing through my veins!!!!!
'Ghosts of the past have come, haunting empty halls. Knocking on cold bones, where once I knew love. But... I need not no such luxury while battling foes of my ill-begotten father. Yet, I yearn, deep inside. Mother, oh mother, whatever have we done? I'll die ... feeling the warmth buried within.'

Noooooooooo - I was so waiting for the mad princess. Come on you got one more :D
I always think in my mind the little mermaid main track can be dark.so and 💡
That is sad to hear, if you could, send off the series with the mad subjects to end it once and for all
Bro I got a banger idea. After this make "The Mad Princess" and then make "The Mad Rulers"
The next chapter: "The rebellion" 3 heads on the floor and the throne on fire
The previous 2 where indeed "mad". But this prince is deranged.
Those high note bells from time to time are unsettling and I love it.
You could also say derailed. The deep notes on this version's base is insane. And it's a masterful combination of both into one offspring that's even more mad than his two parental predecessors.
Personally I would describe it as lunacy.
I think of it as the first two being sadistic with a touch of madness but the prince being truly insane, unpredictable, and with enough wit to take down his opponents without raising a finger
i feel like he is the most wicked person in the palace
The princess might be the only one who isn't mad. Maybe...
Note how the throne has gotten smaller/shorter with each successor
I mean for the Mad King and Queen it was the same but for the Prince, yes it is crumbling
Indeed! It can symbolize how the system is falling apart due to their insanity.
Probably implies the continously crumbling kingdom they're rulling

We all eagerly await the arrival of the Princess next.
reccon this is the finale
This is finale, cuz you know. RGB
The princess would be the prince's daughter right
Nah, it’s gonna be the Mad Jester who builds the throne from their bodies.
And then the mad vengeance of the Undead King.

Your bloodied throne, how divine~ You're both dead, and now it's mine~" The Mad Prince
@Martin Mudaliar Hey, much appreciated~!
@Martin Mudaliar agreed
Now we need the mad uncle trying to steal the throne
Daemon Targaryen anyone?🤣
That title would be duke.
the mad usurper
the uncle might touch the throne in improper places ...
@@DracuSRLhe gonna play the touching game with a chair
“I’ve been looking forward to this.” -Count Dooku
Dew it !!
Yo, he's using the kings head as a table and the queens as a foot rest.
Nice catch!

probably a way to tell hes more insane then both of them
I blame child abuse

hehehhehe "exception" she's gonna be an unholy combination of the 3
The series continues with a 11/10!
The king felt like raw power. The queen felt like calculation and plan. This gave the best of both worlds
BTW the queen is under the wine and the king under the prince's foot
@@ADMICKEY other way around
Mad king, queen, prince, if this keeps going we’re gonna have one fucked up family in our hands
We already have one...
Indeed!!! 😂😂😂 Nothing greater then family!!! 😁
This is insane. Good job Rok Nardin please keep uploading epic songs like this they are a joy to listen to.
Why not conclude with what they all seem to fighting for: the Mad Throne !
Or the Kingdom of Madness !
the throne of madness
The mad prince: I like this one she has very nice eyes
Royal advisor: should I arrange a meeting with her
The mad prince: no you misunderstood me I like her eyes. I want her eyes
Royal advisor: as you wish your majesty
This is exactly the feeling I get from this song
I can just picture the advisor's face after the prince says: I want her eyes.
The pause as he stops to think about it for a moment and then is like: As you wish your majesty.
lol
Fantastic continuation of the series. Can't wait for the Mad Princess to be the last one standing
Doubt Princess will be the last one standing, usually people who get involved don't make it too long.
The mad infant last
@@jorg117 All hail the bebe!
Haha lmao, no princess for you goofball
A family whose power and ambition drove to madness, can't wait for the princess video as I got a feeling it'll have more Azula like energy to it.
I predicted this 😏
I can confirm...
THIS. IS. BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!! Another masterpiece!
I am pleased. I enjoyed the deep bass background thump (the best I can describe it as) that happens for the breaks in the song. I also feel the high discordant tones compliment the theme of the song well.

"MAD KING"
"MAD QUEEN"
AND NOW
"MAD PRINCE"
AND NEXT
"MAD PRINCESS"
nope lmao
umm nah
God, this is my favorite now. It's so heavy and intense. I knew it was going to be badass when someone joked about "First king, then queen, what next? Mad Prince?" and you liked it. I just knew if it was going to happen it would be glorious and look now. Glorious indeed!
My fave of the 'Mad' series so far - and love how the artwork evolves!
The most underrated of the Royals series.
This is really good. I think this is what happens when People Blindly elect someone to a Higher Authority without his qualifications.
This music tells the fate of that Nation's Downfall.
Rok Nardin is back at it again!?!?! Yaaaaaaaassss!!!!!!!! This was well worth the wait, and I wait with excitement for the next addition to the mad court!!! This was brilliant!!!!
The Mad Jester would go so hard!!!!
Hope the Mad Princess is next, I'm using these song to help inspire my writing. Love them!!!
I'm doing the same. I'm hoping we get the Mad Jester at some point. Also, someone else had commented that this series of songs should end with the Mad Throne because that is what all of them are fighting for. I thought that was a cool way of thinking about it.
You can hear the preparation of the betray and the slow poison of power. Truly a master piece.
when everyone thought it was final or the princess next, we got the MAD PRIEST
Another amazing job for someone way to underrated.
Rockingly good as the other in the series!

Love how people assumed the princess was next. Shows that all artists can be story tellers in their own ways, and the best stories are suprising
Let's goooooo!!!! This series has got to be some of the best """"Epic"""" music there is tbh.
I love using it for my private dungeons and dragons sessions, for those insane (Mad if you will ;)) encounters.
So here the MAD series continue...thank you so much!!
we shall wait for arrival of the princess,maybe even knight
Mad dragon would be badass name as well

I can't wait for:

The references to the Mad King (which, btw, is my favourite one of all your tracks) are so cool!
I've been waiting for this.

The personalities conveyed through the art and music are pretty cool
No way NO WAY this is perfect
I love this "Mad" series, its so good
Can't wait to see if we'll get nobility after the royalty... "The Mad Baron", "The Mad Count", "The Mad Knight", all that....Can't wait to see and hear it!
And eventually it'll end with "The Mad Throne"
I expected a masterpiece, so I don't know what to call this anymore. Great work!

Welcome to the real music 🖤🙏🖤
A mad city would sound impeccable
I want the Mad Janitor!!
We now had Prince, Queen, and King.
Insane Princess next, please!
I actually think this is the best song you've released so far. Great job.
Incredible song. I've never feel like that much of a mad scientist while studying chemistry with this song in background.
Thank you so much Rok Nardin !
Best 3 minutes and 24 seconds of sitting down in my life
This is going to be good 👍🏼
The mad queen.... The mad princess.... All the mad royalty.... This is very cool
This is what Ecstasy must sound like 😲. Once again well done SiR Nardin👍
I love how the throne becomes more destroyed with every new installation of this continuation!
Just one word ... WOW !!!
The sound is indescribable. I have goosebumps!
The lead up to that snap, you think you catch your breath and then it continues with the taunts of the foot steps as the prince runs up to you. My god he entices me. He mezmerizes me. Im happy to be his victim.
Im not kidding this makes me smile so big!!! It soothes my soul!
I almost feel his maddness coursing through my veins!!!!!
As always your killing it!! CHILLS IN MY SPINE!!!
Rok Nardin kills it again!
Dude this is amazing please keep making more I love them. All of these would be amazing as a marching band show

The mad prince: “if I wasn’t this would probably never work”
It gives me some Evil Loki while plotting feelings💪🏼
YES, another one!
12 vids later it's the mad toddler cousin
Yesss the whole family!!! Now all we need is the princess
Love each song cover.., very clever artist... Well done!
Absolutely love it.
these 3 are so great... The fourth will be legendary no doubt...
Love it, The Mad Princess Next hopefully
Жанр заметно эволюционировал, так держать!)
Ah yes the return of my favorite music series lol.
You are truly amazing.
Love this new song…already envisioned a whole animatic I wanna make to it. These “mad” music series are bangers every time 💯
Someday I want to use these songs in an animation meme or something because they are amazing!
I've spent a long time listening to stronghold 2 and 5 music like this but now that I've found you I won't be looking anymore.
This is epic. I love that melody
Amazing work
The album name should be Mad Kingdom 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Incredible.
Best of the Mad family right now

A brilliant creation - so harmoniously contradictory! Sound and tone filling up every space - I love your music for the wonderful colours
