Wow, what a game. I've been waiting for Elden Ring for a long time, and not JUST so I could write songs about it... Yet it didn't disappoint in the slightest. The Soulsborne style of storytelling has inspired me once again, this time with a powerful anthem of perseverance in a world abandoned by divine will. More music will be coming soon, with this song appearing on Modern Mythology releasing May 6th!
(I'm still playing Elden Ring with the group password AVIATORS, join the group so I can see all your bloodstains everywhere!)

Lyrics:
To dawn
We've gone
Adrift with the resolve to carry on
When the climb is steep
And the days are long
We rise
All rise
Our fight
Burns bright
From filth we ascend to the tree of life
The lowly empowered in faith unite
We rise
All rise
So far
We are
The hope scattered among the fallen stars
The last note played on an old guitar
But we rise
All rise
With hearts
Of thorns
We're matched with the will of the royal born
To stave off the fall of a house that's torn
We rise
All rise
We will die again
Where the oceans end
Over and over
In the dragon's fire
We will testify
Shoulder to shoulder
In the lands between
Spirits sharp and clean
Mused with a purpose
Through the scarlet mist
For the maidenless
We rise unburdened again
We rise again
We bled
Instead
Of giving ourselves to the void of death
Accepting the power for a final breath
We rise
All rise
To yearn
And burn
With frenzy and flame to the rights we've earned
In face of the falsehoods and secrets learned
We rise
All rise
Though some of us won't make it back
We're following into the black
Unknown for a long lost throne
We rise again
Where others might look for escape
These lights in the dark search for grace
Once lost
To a blood-soaked cause
We will rise
Through battlefields scarred by the gods
We're striving no matter the odds
When nothing can hold back the tide
We rise, we rise, we rise
All rise
Though graceless and exiled
We're loyal the same
Returning to roots through the
Worst of our pain
When kings rise against
Have it writ on their grave
The old gods were felled
By a mortal unnamed
Our eternal struggle echoes to the past
We rise, we rise
So even if only to fall then in ash
We rise, I will rise
Perhaps the real maidens are the friends we made along the way.
Shame that almost all of them died in the end of their questlines
@@incandescent9525 at least our dear boc is still alive with what we are used to... with this I am happy.
@@ryujin8503 boc also dies
@@aligmal5031 There are several endings to his story and one of those does not die, he stays with you to serve you as his lord as he is realizing that he is beautiful as he is.
Blaidd my boy noooo
"We will die again
Where the oceans end"
A subtle nod to the fact that the oceans instantly kill you and that you'll do it over and over
'Try Jumping'
@@thederper5836 "try finger but hole"
Still haven't unlocked the ability to swim.
Also the fact that all the tarnished left the lands between on boats and died. Then they are resurrected to fight again by the grace.
@@thederper5836 but hole! XD
"When kings rise agianst have it writ on their grave. The old gods were felled by a mortal unnamed. " that line gives me chills every time, fenomaly done.
Also the the drums kicking in at the last word just makes it even better.
It is basically paraphrase of what king Morgott says before the fight
Thank you! The line is adapted from a line in the game, "Have it writ upon thy meagre grave:
Felled by the King Morgott, last of all kings." The dialogue from bosses is pretty quotable this time around.
@@SoundOfTheAviators Yea, and he along with Godrick has the best quotes. And both are the best bosses.
@@SoundOfTheAviators I like to think this is the Tarnished's retort to Morgott when they get the upper hand in the fight, glorious line!
The line with "mortal unnamed" feels so satisfying. Like, in mоst games it almost doesn't matter how you name your character, and that makes you feel yourself insignificant in the large world of game. But that line glorifies unnamed heroes players usually play as. Really, awesome line and awesome song
Fromsoft also integrated that fact in dark souls.
The legend of artorias was born of the feats of the unnamed chosen one, but was passed off as the legendary abysswalker's achievement.
@@jimtsap04 yeah, oh Giant Lord killed in ds2. Or also when you can say "i have no name" when painter want to name painted world after you. But that line glorifies fact of mortal being unnamed itself, to insult the "gods", who were killed not only even by some great mortal hero but a guy no one knows
Let me solo here not even having a face
one problem with that is that the character the song is about is about as far away from mortal as you can get
@@matthiasbindl7085 well, mortal here is used more not in a literal "one who can die" way and more "lowly not divine"
“Maidenless” will never make me not giggle like a thirteen year old.
Youre not alone.
Same
"No maidens?"
"You are, it seems, destined to die in obcurity."
Or something like that, I never heard him talk past "maidenless" x)
What? No MAIDENS?
"The old gods were felled by a mortal unnamed" ..... That line was so powerful in the general souls genre. This song is just perfect
“The old gods were slain by a mortal unnamed” is a line that goes so fucking hard
The coolest part of each choice and quest you do in souls games is the fact that you're molding the story of either the greatest evil to grace the earth, The purest hero, Or a simple man who could not sit by and watch tyranny spread. Every souls game tells the rise of a champion, And you are that champion.
Plus the "if kings rise against have it writ on their grave-" before that, it's a warning
felled, it is felled
This song really strikes a different tone than Aviator's previous souls-inspired work
Where they've typically spoken of cursed fates, here they speak of something much more ambitious, optimistic even.
A lyric of lights, bold and bright in the darkest hour of the very world itself
I would say that pretty well describes how Elden Ring differs from the souls titles. Elden Ring is a story of a dying world, just as the souls games are; however, unlike the souls games there is hope. There is a sense of optimism and hope that is not present in any souls game before. Where in dark souls you were to "rekindle the fire" (to force the dying world to continue living) in Elden Ring you are to "repair the elden ring, and undo what the shattering wrought" (Return the world to its former glory, fix the mistakes which led it here). It is a story that is inherently hopeful, and it is up to the player how and where they take this hopeful story.
Yeah,that tracks. While Souls was all about stagnation and cycles,Elden Ring is all about the ambition of mortalkind.
*Emboldened by the flame of ambition*
Considering how many dark soul-inspired songs they made though, I wouldn't say all of those weren't optimistic.
The song 'Incandescent' about Solaire gave me a similar vibe as this one did (in a good way), perhaps even more hopeful and bright.
@@gemeroperiddle9462 That's a song from the perspective of a singular endlessly optimistic man in a world that actively kills optimists by the billions. And he still winds up depressed by the end game,and either dead,or feeding himself to the Kiln,perpetuating an unnatural and ultimately harmful state of the world. This song,though? Arise now,ye Tarnished! Ye dead,who yet live! This is an anthem of ambition.
“The Old Gods were felled my a mortal unnamed” has to be one of my favorite lines. Great job Avi
Agreed
donno about that but my Gsposlayer did pretty good job killing elden beast
It was Let Me Solo Her I fucking call it.
It’s one of the best lines I’ve ever heard
Crazily enough, _it isn't just referring to us Tarnished._
(Spoilers)
The Scarlet Rot, one of the Old Gods, was once imprisoned in Caelid by a blind swordsmaster, aided by a blue fairy. The same man who formerly owned the Flowing Curved Sword and mentored Malenia.
Man, Aviators must have had such an easy time with Elden Ring, considering that his music brings in all the Maidens.
But the maidens do nothing for you in elden ring
@@sentric_ what about leveling up
@@imbirekpl1046 How often have you leveled up with the help of Melina?
@@sentric_ well, you don't see her because of gameplay reasons but you're technically traveling together
I really like how the "dragon's fire" verses are just the Tarnished eating shit against Placidusax.
I like the fact that when the lyric "we will die again" comes, it's always with a Malenia fight in the background 😅 I feel that deep in my bones
I really liked when I heard it while Morgott was crumbling the wood off of his sword, though.
"The old gods were felled by a mortal unnamed." This might be the most powerful line you've given. And that's saying something.
Can't wait for more to come, and I'll be popping your group password on!
Oh boy, can't wait to see more group signs.
@Joe Alexander what would having our names spoken even do to disadvantage us? i cant see us losing to some boss because they knew our name, some like Malenia happily tell you theirs. Over and over and over again lol
Gods are like mortals in the end. The reverse logic must also apply. All the powers and abilities won't stop you being your own worst enemy.
@@thedoomslayer5863 it probably has something to do with magic and words, like some words or something have magic capabilities
I love it because of the line that comes before
"When kings rise against have it writ on their graves"
That the kings rose against the gods under the cry "The old gods were felled by a mortal unnamed"
That, this mere unknown, unnamed mortal defeated the gods, they have names, they have something, if a man with nothing beat the gods, then surely they could, surely they could accomplish anything
I don't know much about dark souls lore, but it is powerful nonetheless
I know people Adore the Line "When kings rise against have it writ on their grave. The old gods were felled by a mortal unnamed" But can we talk about that Final Line?
"Our eternal struggle echoes to the past, We rise, We rise. So even if only to fall then in ash, We rise, We Rise, I will rise"
It's sounds So Nihilistic, paralleling the rest of the song's more optimistic words, That all their struggles, powerful yet futile like those before will be for nothing but death, their one wish. And the touch of Changing the Final line to I will rise instead of WE will rise, makes it sounds like all those Tarnished who initially rose up to restore the Elden ring, all but one gave up, and succumbed to their fate.
"The old gods were felled by a mortal unnamed."
That basically sums up every soulsborne game doesn't it.
Yes, but at the same time no. Because based on the lore of the games, we're defeating enemies that are at their "decadent state". On the other hands, our character has the power/potential to increase his power (be it with souls, blood, runes or other elements). So we're definitely not a normal "mortal unnamed", even more if you consider that there is nothing in the game that keeps us from increase the power of our character to heigth way above our enemies.
Empires don't fall, they crash and burn so intensely that only the unnamed stand in the end
The same with gods
@@zodiark93 in elden ring you are in cannon a tarnished of no renown... in ds3 we're the most unfit of nameless ash not worthy to burn.... in dark souls 2 we're a wander with no past no memories, no one and nothing looking for a cure to a malady we hardly even realize we have at that point, in ds1 we're actually a fucking prisoner forgotten about
@@brayachdragonbane7529 In Bloodborne we're just trying to settle some medical debt, and the true horror is the local healthcare system.
I love the musical call back to fading light at around 4:40. Brings me back, not to mention the lyrics at this part are just plain awesome.
love how that song sounded
I didn't even notice it's connection to fading light.
I wasn't the only one who noticed this then haha. Fading Light was (and is) one of my favourites, so I like this song all the more for that. Plus the lyrics at that point bang
SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED IT TOO?!
Ikr. It's great! Fading Light was my favorite souls-like song before Aviators came out with this one, lol.
All my anticipation for this eventual song was completely warranted. This song is extremely well made. I'm gonna be listening to this for a good long while on Repeat! Thanks for a song that I can listen too while exploring the world of Elden Ring mate.
I agree, the wait was so worth.
Its funny how the sentiments about this song and people's feeling on Elden Ring itself are so similar. Justifiably, as both are exceptional.
It only took as long as it did because they first had to get Malenia into her second phase
@@ottokarl5427how right you are lol
Foul Aviators... In search of the Elden song.
Emboldened by the flame of inspiration.
Someone must KINDLE thy flame!
I beg thee, SING!
We will hear your song again
@@arcanegamer2723 Until the sounds will blend, over and over
Have it writ upon thy album cover: written by Aviators, last of all bards.
"the old gods were felled by a mortal unnamed" goes hard, but to me the rawest line is "in the dragon's fire we will testify shoulder to shoulder". That line was SAVAGE
"when kings rise against have it writ on their graves"
I know plenty of people are talking about this line, but mostly they're talking about the full line ("the old gods were felled by a mortal unnamed") but I love that this part of the line specifically implies such a direct line. Like, when anyone, even kings, rise to stand against us, the only next step for them is death. No matter what, we will invariably slay any foe that even dares to get in our way. So badass
It's also a reference to Morgott's line in his introductory cutscene: "Have it writ upon thy meager grave... felled by King Morgott, the last of all kings."
@@zweihanderpancakes1855 yeah
The king returns when we needed him most.
Heck yes! Been hooked ever since finding your Bloodborne inspired work, and knew some Elden Ring was coming!
Wake Me When It's Over was my introduction to Aviators. I have not looked back.
"When kings rise against have it writ on their grave, the old gods were felled by a mortal named Elden John."
“So far we are the hope scattered among the fallen stars” it fucking sends shivers down my body.
I am detecting some "The Red Hood" vibes from this, and it is sublime!
It also has a hint of "Fading Light" in it
@@Konig1223 and let there be fire
@@nutegunray1618 Yeah, some of the beats match Let There Be Fire quite a bit.
That's my favourite song they made. I love listening to both the original and the instrumental of The Red Hood. Both are beyond epic!
For over a year "The Red Hood" was my favorite song, then it was "Glow" and now I think those songs have a new contender. ;)
Dude I was the same, it's impossible for them to make bad music
I've been waiting for this since the game dropped and you blew it out the water. That last verse just is incredible. I appreciate adapting Morgott's quote to ' Have it writ on their grave ' immensely he's one of my favourites
This one kind of reminds of "to the grave", and I like that!
It's a song that embodies the general feeling of the game, wich is amazing.
And after hearing Song of the Abyss or The Red Hood I'd really love to hear songs about certain ER characters (like Radahn, my beloved). It's crazy, dude simply can't make bad music lol
@@padroelhijodemorzat112 Mirale of Sound will make Radahn song btw and Ranni one too after the first general one soo yeah, Elden Ring thrives
@@Eric_Nomad_Hixtone sounds pretty similar to "fading light"
Everyone else seems fixated on that line about the gods' passing, but the phrase that makes my breath catch every time and lights the fire of emotion in my heart is definitely, 'the hope scattered among the fallen stars, the last note played on an old guitar'.
I dunno, that's just so insanely moving to me. I'm probably broken.
Same!
Same!
Huh... Yeah. It's great imagery, honestly. Reminds me Tolkien's poem "Habbanan beneath the Stars" a fair bit, when I think of it. The mood and imagery all feels... Similar in a way.
Oddly, for me it's "From filth we ascend to the tree of life/The lowly empowered, in faith unite/We rise... All rise".
Though your pick is stirring, too. If you're broken, you didn't shatter alone.
Ohhh I've been waiting for this one!! Elden Ring + Aviators music style is just the best :)
I am genuinely convinced you are incapable of making bad music. This is yet another masterpiece. I am amazed
My favorite thing about a new Soulsborne game getting released is that some epic Aviators music is bound to follow.
"We rise unburdened again" Having lost all my runes is not something I count as good, but I like the otimism.
Well, this is going straight to the top of my On Repeat playlist the day it drops on Spotify. Amazing work as always.
Your song really conveys the theme set out in the game of the heroic aspect of the tarnished compared to the Undead of dark souls. We are reclaiming our destiny from the demigods and the outer gods. Truly this is a song for the Tarnished to RISE for!
Woo! I knew there would be an elden ring song. Seems fitting considering I was listening to your other music during my entire 120 hour play through. Your songs kept me calm and collected the whole time
"We will rise
Through the battlefield scarred by the gods.
We're striving no matter the odds..."
Really show the level of devotion and self-determination of each and every tarnished.
For a second, I thought the thumbnail says “we irish”
" Through the scarlet mist, for the maidenless ... " NO MAIDENS ? TOUCH GRACE BRO
I can hear the motifs of your previous Dark Souls entries echoing throughout this one. From the drumming rhythm of Fire Again to the lyrical mirror of Fading Light, this song is clearly built on the ones that came before. Much like the game itself.
I think this is my favourite work from you yet, not just the fantastic song, but the video cinematically highlighting some of the most incredible moments in what may be the greatest game of all time.
This is another top tier song. Thank you for sharing your talents.
I love the oddly whimsical and hopeful tone of this song.
We're entering new era of Aviators' masterpieces.
Somebody help, I've listened to this song maybe one hundred times this week. I can't stop.
Ah damn I used to listen to alot of aviators like 4 years ago and subbed again recently. This is so nostalgic
When he said "for the maidenless" I felt that
Great song! You know what makes this - in my opinion - the best open world ever created? Every single location in the video, i can exactly tell you where it is on the map and how you can find it. That's an incredible achievement in my opinion.
I've only recently discovered you, as in, about 6 hours ago, but i've perused your videogame inspired music and noticed a pattern i don't remember seeing before on other artists i've listened to.
How vague your lyrics are. They speak of a struggle, or a journey that those who know can feel, but it's vague, not pointing fingers, not showing you what it is, so that should you not know what it is, can still feel the journey conveyed. I've listened to most of your souls-inspired songs, and i've yet to hear one where you mention someone's name, whether important or not. Same with this song, you could have at any point snuck in the word Tarnished, or any character's name, and it would've painted it as nothing but Elden Ring, but you didn't, so even though the song is about elden ring, it's vague enough to be a journey for those who don't know.
I appreciate this type of writing. I really do. It's incredible. Thank you for giving me a large library of incredible music to fall in love with.
I mean, the maidenless in the refrain is a bit of a pointer... (but generally I agree with the sentiment)
@@Noooooone Oh certainly, but i feel those who haven't heard of Elden Ring or the meme that sparked out of being called maidenless would associate it to a more generalized medieval setting where such language is used
imagine being able to perfectly to capture the feels of any soulsborne game into a song
Dude I'm literally at loss for words. Absolutely stunning, since the beggining 'till the end.
Especially 4:48 , that line's just sick.
When I saw the notification, I immediately took a listen to it and wow what a great track of redemption. To rise and conquer monsters is how a warrior does in Elden Ring. This is giving me some great vibes from Let There Be Fire album but in a more calm way.
It is quite brazen that the music of madness continues. We will rise from the grave to a glorious world.
the travelling merchants when no one is looking:
And once again you have managed to make such amazing scores! You can tell that each and every song this artist writes is passionately and carefully crafted.
I give you my greatest thanks for being such a stupendous inspiration to me and every listener out there.
Yeah you Elden those Rings! Sounds amazing btw!
I haven't clicked on a notification that fast in a long time. I was hoping we would see some songs on Elden Ring 😁
I see a lot of people talking about "When kings rise agianst have it writ on their grave. The old gods were felled by a mortal unnamed", but i want to point out that "We're striving no matter the odds When nothing can hold back the tide" is, for me, fu****ng awesome and represent perfectly how we all traveled through the game. thank you and Congratulations for this masterpiece
I’ve been waiting patiently
4:00 is my favorite scene and the lyrics that go with it.
It was a nice pause. The song is also very catchy too.
This is probably my favorite song from yall, and it's a real nice change of pace having a more hopeful Soulslike song
Well imo fire again is pretty hopeful
It's the fucking greatest song i've ever heard, it gives so much hope.
its here.
Hey aviators back awesome.
Thank you. This song made me feel better. Now with this song, I imagine that my love went to fight in the world that she loved indescribably. And after the required number of cycles - I will be on the same battlefield with her, shoulder to shoulder
Thank you. I've suffered more than this until now.
From the MLP fandom to Elden Ring, damn. Not many artists I’ve listened to for 10 years, but Aviators pulled it off.
I absolutely LOVE how the tempo(?) of the song. It almost feels like a ballad being passed down from person to person. Also is it just me or is the rhythm kinda unique. Like it doesn't sound like your typical 4/4 or even 3/4 which imo makes the song sound even more unique. If I had to compare it to something it probably sounds the closest to "to the grave"(ironically another aouslborne inspired game)
From what I can tell the music is in 6/4 time but the lyrics have a really interesting call-and-response pattern that sounds more like 2/4 time than anything else. It’s really interesting and somehow works incredibly well.
Yeah, it's definitely a call-and-respond pattern. I can't fully place the time signature. But it's also slower than your typical call-and-respond rhythms. The best example I can give is listening to military cadences then this song. Any cadence is actually more like a jog than a steady walk, if this makes any sense.
From all who call the streets of Yharnam home, may the good blood guide you Tarnished Ones.
Good track.Hey,I'd like to ask a couple of questions:
1) Do you make music by yourself or do you have any assistants?
2)Do you find to difficult to find inspiration and write lyrics?
3) Why "Aviators"?(if it's too personal,you don't have to answer)
4)Do you have any favorite songs that you have already created?
P.S: Sweet dreams are orrated.
Actually, yeah I'm intrigued on the name Aviators too. I like to think it's cause of the aviator sunglasses he has on in the pfp, but I could be wrong.
@@venandisicarius32 he has said before on stream that (and this is paraphrasing from memory so i could miss some details here), something like that he was an "edgy 14 year old" who always wore aviators, people starting calling him "aviators" irl, then that became his nickname for stuff including music.
@@bluesolarisii-oscar I will keep it on mind
I know it’s not intentional, but I find it funny that the parenthesis at point 3) implies that he HAS to a,swear the other ones xD
These songs are a huge part in why Fromsoft games are so supremely important to me - this ballad of the emotions the game presents on you just makes the journey feel that much more grandiose, and they all make me want to keep fighting no matter what the odds are. Thank you for making these, Aviators!
also "The old gods were felled by a mortal unnamed" goes hard as BALLS
Yes! Always love it when a new aviators song comes out! Excellent work as always!
It's here!
This game is such a trove of music waiting to be made and this is a fantastic first track to come from it.
10 seconds but a banger, let's gooooo
The song invokes the nostalgia of the beautiful boss battles! Simply awesome!
Ah, so THAT’S where he’s been these past few months
Now I have something to vibe to while I get completely obliterated by bosses! Awesome! Beautiful shots of those bosses too, Maliketh looking absolutely awesome in all his glory!
Another Banger from Aviators
“With Frenzy and Flame” I see what you did there.
The return.
O' you don't have the right!
This bangs!
Been here since Dark Souls, keep it up
Of course, I was fully expecting an Elden Ring cover with the amount of bangers you have done for the previous games. Though, how are you getting those birds eye view shots? Those look stunning! I can't wait for more Elden Ring inspired covers.
Among other impossible shots, he has a clip of Radahn in the middle of the Aeonia Swamp, so if he was just using commands and mods I wouldn't be suprised
"We're following into the black" being foreshadowing for a Berserk song was nuts when I made the connection. Especially since ER really only exists because its great great great grandpa is Berserk.
"We will die again where the oceans end"
That is so poetic and sad and I love it!
and once again, another MASTERPIECE of a song
When Elden Ring got revealed, this is one of the things I was most looking forward to. Didn’t disappoint
I waited a long time, I was patient, I never gave up hope, and finally here you are with a song about ER. Well done! Greetings from Italy!
Defeat is not to fall, but rather to not rise after doing so.
Why does the line "last note played on an old guitar" make me choke up? I don't know why it just goes hard lol
i swear to god, Aviators is allergic to creating bad songs
I have been a follower of yours for years now , and I can say with 100% certainty that your work keeps getting better and better every time . This song feels more structured I adore the melody and I really like how it feels more like a poem somehow . Brilliant work .
"The old gods were felled by a mortal unnamed."
You know, that describes the Gloam-eyed Queen very well.
Спустя месяцы, ты вернулся к нам, как же я рад этому. Твой голос всегда завораживает.
As epic as the the game that inspired it, this will be topping my playlist for the next several months! Thanks so much for your amazing work!
I am in LOVE with the 6/8 meter here, and the vocals are a masterclass in intonation and purpose!
My new favorite song now
I love this and have listened too it so much. I hope you do a song on the Frenzie Flame. I think your style is perfect for it.
Almost missed this because of youtube not giving me notifications.
Speechless. Cant say much more. Incredible as usual.
song gets better each time i hear it
I am addicted with this song!
