SCP-6624: Allow me to sing for you the song of my people.
Me: Please, don't.
Oh my god I LOVE this one. Lovecraftian cosmic horror? The king in yellow? Madness and piping and full transdimensional terror? Yes please.
Yes, but in a very, very, dry and official precise scientific report. ❤
Two this
You should check out the other Alagadda SCPs.
My man's got good taste.
It's almost odd how I see you every UA-cam corner I seem to nestle in.
Would you ever consider doing music inspired by SCP?
Meta is an absolute monster.
He is my favorite author of the entire wiki . I was so happy when I saw his comeback to the site.
Cactus is pretty good too. I like his stories.
Meta is the OG Creator of Alagadda and Sarkcisim.
This is actually a repost of a SCP he posted for the 5000 contest, remember reading something like this way back when.
@@jakomioftherose2434
Meta, Kaktus and Tanhony are my favorite authors of the wiki, by far.
@@mattdayman461
Yeah, that’s the reason I love his works a lot.
His articles on Sarkicism were the reason I understood that the SCP Foundation was not a mere creepypasta site, but an actual encyclopedic piece of literature.
I read this work when it was published in the SCP 5000 contest and was one of my favorites.
@@mattdayman461 the hanged king and the kingdom of alagadda are literally my favorite set of tale/scp on the entire site. Something about it captured the fuck out of me unlike other scps. Glad to see the themes come back, I had an idea when “chitinous masks fused to their faces” was described, and even more so when I heard him read the line where the guy had the dream of what i reasonably assumed to be alagadda. Was very glad to see your comment confirming the link between the two
A disproportionate number of artists, you say? Man, the Italian version of Are We Cool Yet is hardcore.
AWCY wishes they had even a fraction of the talent of the Alagaddans.
There is an SCP article that involves Francisco De Goya, his mental affliction caused by Alagadda, and his meeting with another painter Theodore Gericault which concluded with the phrase "Are we magnificent yet?"...
Y'know, this one strikes a great balance between old and new SCPs. The old is that the item is pretty simple, it's an organ organ! More specifically, a bunch of living humans shaped into an organ, whose compositions have various anomalous effects.
The new is the detail in the journal, writing a longer story that also connects to pre existing SCPs
Jeeeeez he really reached another level with that diary reading. So strong, and agressive, and emotional!
I concurr this was exeptional
🎉😢 10
That holy crusade sounded like something out of a 40k story. Excellent voice acting btw, you really sold it!
The grandmaster would of made a fine Grey Knight
I made it 13 minutes. I mean, the author tried so hard to sound like Lovecraft in their descriptions with none of the intelligence. The sea is black as forgotten memories? Gag me with a spoon.
@@CloudsWolf No one asked about your lack of tolerance for the fiction. The 90’s mom terminology could use some work as well.
@@GreenAndGoth
Its lame.
Reminded me of Daemonkulaba as I heard it, though honestly anything with gore reminds me of that story since its such a great example of it.
Heard him mention the Yellow Sign and was like "welp, let's check and see if he flashed it on the screen...yup." Now feeling absurdly satisfied.
When?

@@abbywoodhead2764 Shhhhhh, *grabs Class A amnestic*
May be is the worm how try consume Alagadda
Just want to point out that Hastur and Carcosa didn't originate from the Cthulhu mythos, they were simply inserted into the mythos as an easter egg by Lovecraft, a simple name drop in one story. Then August Derleth, one of Lovecraft's friends who also wrote stories set in the Mythos, continued to use Hastur and Carcosa in Mythos stories.
Derleth sucks. In fact, I can't stand non-HP mythos. Giving the gods traits like "elemental affiliations" and other very human concepts ruins them.
@@AdamRoss1 It definitely cheapens them, personally I headcanon things like this to be 'retellings' that the human mind has attempted to rationalize, still, theres some missing spark in comparison to the og lovecraft works
@@AdamRoss1 Agreed. The difference between Post-Lovecraft mythos stories and Lovecraft's original writings is like the difference J.R.R. Tolkien's work and all the fantasy rip offs that came after. It just feels like bad fan-fiction that doesn't understand what made the source material so good in the first place. Some authors however have done a decent job with cosmic horror stories by actually making it their own thing and not just riding off the things Lovecraft already wrote about. Two good examples would be Ramsey Campbell and Junji Ito in my opinion.
Also, none of the cosmic entities in Lovecraft's cosmic horror stories are actually gods, they're just aliens who obey a different set of natural laws that seem supernatural to humans. The whole supernatural element was just propagated by Derleth in his "posthumous collaborations" and Chaosium with their roleplaying games.
That is one element of Post-Lovecraft mythos stories I despise, the need the to expand upon every little reference or namedrop mentioned in a story. The whole point of them was to not be explained and add more mystery and depth to the universe. It'd be like explaining what the "Nameless Things" Gandalf mentions in "The Two Towers" were, the whole point of it is to drive the reader's imagination.
Also, I am sad that Derleth's version of Hastur has kinda overshadowed Robert W. Chambers original "The King in Yellow" as it's a great piece of horror literature in it's own right.
@@johnnydo7138 Yeah well it's kind of hard to match the abject terror and unrestricted imagination present in the frenzied ramblings of an agoraphobe utterly horrified by everything outside of his own house. Some things like that you just can't teach y'know.
I still don’t understand how you don’t have wayyyyy over a million subs, you’re my favorite story teller, the way you break these scp readings and other works down into your own way of telling its just fantastic. Keep up that good work my man 😀😀😀
Yup, definettly the best scp content creator, he breaks up the scp files, not just only read it.
@@TheTopo8798
Agreed
His other lord videos are fantastic as well
My favorite Lore Channel to listen to
I wish he'd get 1 million subs in Christmas lol
@@t-34-36 He seems to be slowly getting there, no need to rush I think. But yeah, would be amazing for that to happen at Christmas or New Year
1000% Agreed
This is similar to a DnD campaign I ran where I did my take on Hastur as an entity desperately trying to enter our reality to escape Azathoth's awakening. Acting through a warlock, his goal was to create a big enough army of followers who could essentially dream him into existence in our reality
I'm actually tempted to create a campaign back in the 1500s, with the PCs serving as knights in the Order of Judas and the raid on the castle would be their trial by fire, where one of them assumes leadership of the Order, after the previous one dies in the assault (either to dice or to me deciding when it would be dramatically appropriate). After that, any number of SCP and Cthulu-inspired adventures could unfold in Medieval Europe.
But, maybe not. I'm currently already running one campaign and taking part in two others. Time will tell.
Nice
We are all Azathoth's dream. Your campaign sounds cool. Also, makes no sense.
@@AdamRoss1 it does in the context of my campaign universe, where our reality has been separated from Azathoth's
@@DarkVeghetta holy hell that sounds awesome
The hanged king is not showcased enough I find him way more interesting than the scarlet king. We need more Scps focusing on alegatta, the king, the ambassador, and the lords. There's so much there to explore as this one shows.
Anyone can submit a story (nudge nudge)…
@@jfranks1295 most of them get rejected
Especially the Lords
@@jfranks1295 please more
This one is seriously phenomenal. It’s rare I find cosmic horror stories that scratch the particular itch I have and this one utterly nailed it. And you brought it to life beautifully. Excellent video.
Yeah! I feel like a similar vibe is The Orpheus Protocol podcast and I highly recommend it for fun disgusting eldritch horror. It's a good time
i really like ur pfp
What itch?
@@Lunar994 What do you mean "what itch"? He _literally_ *just* said that _this_ is it
@@SebHaarfagre Poor wording. I was wondering what about it appealed to them.
17:42 “Santosis: this is where he lost me.”
Love the bluntness.
Alagadda/The Hanged King was always one of my favorite SCPs! I’m glad to see it’s finally getting more love!
Same author as Alaggada. Cosmic horror+dark renaissance+masquerade is quite enthralling. Trivia: author was banned for making some mistakes in this SCP. Thank the Hanged King the ban wasn't permanent.
what kind of mistakes?
@@camvaz8217 the biography of Carlo Jesualdo was pretty much copy pasted from his Wikipedia page
@@tigercors3308 well thats just bullshit, the author literally has constructed a story around premade and established information. Whats so bad about copying a biography z.z
Copyright issues probably, or something similar.
@@keeperdox wikipedia is not trademarked or copyrighted and SCP authors do it for free and the website runs off donations so no. Just the umm "diverse" new mods of the SCP foundation site are power tripping losers. It's a whole thing dude, a whole bunch of super pansy sjw type "females" took over the site and made it worse like they do for everything else they involve themselves in until joining the fabled 41%
oh my god im so glad this got covered!! i was so upset when il maestro del rancore was removed when meta got banned and it was such a relief to see it back up 😭😭😭 thanks for giving this the attention it deserves!!
Why did he get banned?
@@christopheraaron1255 some copyright issues i believe? im not entirely sure tho 😅
@@christopheraaron1255 The bio for Carlo Gesualdo was nigh identical to the Wikipedia entry for them, so the ban was for plagiarism.
I bet it was supposed to be a placeholder, but they forgot to fix it, but that's complete guesswork on my part.
Hell yeah! Metaphysician is back on site and so his awesome articles! All hail Alagadda!
Sweet home Alagadda, black stars shine through
Sweet home Alagadda, now they're gonna call for you
All Hail The Hanged King of Alagadda.
All Hail Alagadda. All kneel to the The Hanged King.
YEAH, now we just need SCP-2510 back on the wiki in some form....
Fuck, the cognito hazard got to him, get the Class-X mnestics
Damn! That last segment was basically a minor Slaaneshi incursion with localized Exterminatus response!
I can already imagine the Inquisition saying “Were it not for the -High Lords’- O5s’ counsel, I would’ve glassed your entire world!”
“Human Components”
**sips tea**
Oh yea,
That’s some spooky shit
Oh.... You'll love the Cult Mechanicus 😃
@@skepticalmagos_101 at least becoming a servitor will Probably* kill you
I keep coming back to this for the reading of the journal and the Unseen Order's Crusade. The emotion you put into your narration makes this absolutely amazing.
One of your best videos, TES!
Oh HELL YES, more Hanged King content.
By far my favorite eldritch being in SCP. Is it perhaps due to the King in Yellow vibes? Maybe. Perhaps I just love an eldritch carnivale.
Well, Aldeberan is Hastur's star...
I like the thought of an eldritch carnival like nyarletheotep just runs every scam game and a constant distant sound of horns oh and if you somehow do win it's like mind flayers and cthulhu replicas filled with meat or other appropriate substance I love this idea
HOLY CARP!! Your acting skills for this entry is really something! Really brought a great performance to life!
Yes?
Phenomenal voice work in those journal entries! You perfectly captured the horror & madness & manic passion of the prince! I’d love to see you participating in other SCP audio collaborations!
The dramatization and entonation is magnificent! Way to go!
I always love hearing about the Hanged King and Alagadda. It's such an under utilized lore section of SCP
There's certain bits of the Foundationverse that don't get the attention they deserve. Alagadda is one of them.
That's good! The more references the greater chance it will be ruined.
Look at how the daevas turned out.
"What a grand and intoxicating innocence-I, I mean symphony"
how can you kill a god?
By far his best narration to date, the emotion in his voice makes it so real.
Over an hour long and we're starting off with a Seinfeld reference. 10/10
Holy crap, dude, your VA work just keeps getting better.
Cuckold is not a word I thought I'd ever hear on this channel 🤣🤣🤣
Alagadda cuckold hub. Thank me later.
@@ImBarryScottCSS I'm good lol
Just wait till you hear it in Shakespeare
I just made a Warlock in a new DND campaign and his pact is with the hanged king so this is just perfect timing.
What’s their spell list?
@@888fevertime they can hang kings, princes, dukes, or any other male member of nobility from any distance
@@heliveruscalion9124 Don't forget -1 to all Betrayal saving throws for the rest of the game. -2 if Clowns, Jesters, Stand-Up Comedians, or CNN news anchors are involved.
49:33 "...which aren't that different from death metal titles."
I swear, I almost choked on my food when I heard that. lol
the narration slaps in this one man, you really got into character and it was awesome to hear.
Kinda random but the slang term "slaps" always throws me off since when and where I grew up "slaps" was a bad thing, it was "slaps" as in "you fart so hard your cheeks slap" so saying something "slaps" was like saying it sucked really bad since a turbo-fart sucks for everyone involved.
Slaps is a compliment? I've never heard it used either of these ways lol
@@julemoorlag4748 it's a dumb sounding slang, but "slaps" is the hip new slang the youth are using to describe good music, as in "this song really slaps". I dont get why its used positively like that since if someone said something slaps my first thought would be it sucks, as in it's so bad the singer deserves to get slapped.
The sudden shift between the sheer dread of December 30th and the casual, even happy description of January 12th, especially the start of "I was a fool to dread..." is chilling. So glad you continue doing these. Your voice acting is top notch.
I know why the Hanged King has sites set on Earth. They want to retrieve his crown, which was stolen from them by the first king of men: Adam El Assem
Oh boy, if that's true then we're doomed, I hope the four knights Hector, Lancelot, La Hire and Ogier be on the foundation side against the alagadda invasion
Man, Syncope Symphony's early shit was brutal.
The work and effort you put into these is amazing. The music is wonderful as always, and the flash of the yellow sign is a nice touch. Thanks again for more great content.
Alagata is THE best setting in scp, no cap
Allagada*
@@Max-ed5gr *Alagadda
This is great Exploring Series, thank you for your work and narration. This was a good SCP article that revolves around of the Hanged King and Alagadda.
I heard and seen some SCP documents and oc figures of a new entity relating to Alagadda. An eldritch being that may be above the Hanged King and Ambassador that exists within the high elder realm of the unknown High Elder Gods given the title Saint Alagadda.
36:55 "..There is a strange beauty to these horrors, and i cannot look away." I know exactly how he feels
yeah I feel like that describes the draw of horror stories
I know what he means about art and obsession, go crazy trying to paint my sisters of battle army.
The fact this author managed to involve Carlo Gesualdo as a main character is simply incredible.
My goodness, the evident passion you put into the reading of this one is a standout! Love your work, you really elevate what are already fantastic works!
This one might be one of the few that top the kaktusverse videos. Amazing job
I had the feeling this was going to be Hanged King well before this was confirmed. The moment the masks were mentioned, I was thinking that was where it would go. I also feel certain that the concept was influenced by the Elric novels, since I recall it being mentioned that the fallen elf courts liked to make these kinds of human-torture musical instruments.
Carlo Gesualdo comes across as a massive chad. Literally getting stalked by an eldritch being and holds out for ages.
Anyone else read that title and picture in their head the Rancor Monster from "Jedi" in a suit conducting an orchestra?
That is frickin cursed.
That voice, that cadence, those scripts. Storytelling perfection.
It's good to know you covered the last of Metaphysician's works. It's shame what happened for to him, espcially for not only doing Lovecraft inspired Scps but also giving us Sarkcism. Really wish we could what he could have written next. Nice Job.
He’s been unbanned not too long ago and posted this article after he was
@@paulpascucci110 My apoglizes, I haven't been listening to what happended. Thanks
@Arkunus Stilshire donors get to watch early
why was he banned?
@Arkunus Stilshire he's a time traveler scp
I like how it seems Alagadda is often told in stories with action. I find it fitting, as I do enjoy some medieval action!
Happy to see Meta return. Sad he was banned for plagiarism in the past, but as long as he learned his lesson, he is good in my book.
The only channel where I'm happy a video is over an hour
Yeah it maybe 2 in the morning, but an hour long scp video means the nights just beginning
Ah, lovely, another SCP using the phrase "human components" to listen to on my walk to work in the dark.
58:07 That does sound awesome and metal as fuck, lol. Props to the author cause this is a amazing story and props to narrator for a excellent reading. This has become one of my favorites and I hope the author creates more.
Many days I feel like a “human component.”
14:58 that is some of the most amazing imagery I've heard from an SCP article, and the way Exploring Series reads it is perfect 🥰
I really like the SCP entries that find clever ways to connect themselves to other entries.
That's what I love about the SCP Foundation, there's over 1000 stories and tales and every once in awhile you'll find 1 SCP that's connected to 5 others or mentions them in passing. I was listening to an analysis/explores video the other day and they mentioned how an SCP had the name "Erik" written on the back of it and the narrator went on to mention like 3 or 4 other SCPs that all had the name Erik written on them or were otherwise connected to a kid or teenager named Erik (I think there was an indestructible drawing, a fridge that kills people, a magic calculator, and one or two other things)
Would love to see a story bout The Count of Monte Cristo
Now that would be a long one 😁
I’m loving these long form vids, I look forward to your releases every week 👌😀 - keep up the amazing work!
Except when he spends 7 hours on a shite SCP, like 6000
Something about the King in Yellow just connects more than other Lovecraftian concepts
Thanks for treating us to yet another Metaphysician masterpiece!
1:09:14 y'cant just flash the sign on the screen for half a second like that after over an hour of still images. I thought I was losing my mind.
Fitting for it
YOU OUTDID YOURSELF!!! AGAIN! The narration, combined with the music and exquisite text, makes for such a powerful experience! This SCP is exactly as it should: it instills the feelings of a dark, violent, beautiful fever dream!
This one and Thalassomania are simply phenomenal.
I come back from work and this is what i get? God bless you TES!
Dude, you have serious narration talent. You should consider doing professional audiobooks or podcasts. This is one of your best videos so far, and the enthusiasm and emotion you included in this video was phenomenal!
I’m so glad Metaphysician has returned, this was a fantastic story
I laughed when he mentioned the letter from Alagada. "Hoo boi, shit's about to go down, yo."
Lovecraftian SCP is legendary 👏
The narration, the story, the atmosphere, music, emotion, ALL OF IT! Marvellous.
Reminds of Brian Lumley vampire novels read in the 90s, using living human flesh to build anything imagineable
Or Vampire: the Masquerade’s Clan Tzimisce. Degenerate transhumanist aristocrats who sculpt flesh into impossible monstrosities. Tons of fun.
In the darkest way, your most beautifully done video to date. Absolutely insane. Cheers man.
I am particularly enjoying some of the background art on the recent episodes and this one especially. Whether or not it's actually much different than it has always been idk.
Ahhhhhhh so good! Lovecraft-like material and SCP together, it's amazing.
Dude this whole Hanged King ark of the SCP universe is seriously amazing. Is there more stories? You should cover them
There are plenty more
That kind of happened to me once when playing music or remembering a beat or when painting I was about in my twenties
The idea of medieval Demon hunters killing eldritch horrors is so cool, Blackwood should have a Hanged King story
TES man you really showed your voice acting chops on this one . amazing.
4:33. First time I've heard about someone behind the camera not surviving. Now, this is a terrific SCP...( popcorn 🍿)
The narration of the journal was absolutely amazing!
Let's goooooo. Another super long scp by only the best 👌
What I would give for you to read the king in yellow. Actually I would give money on patreon for that. TAKE MY MONEY
I love the cosmic horror stuff. And that journal entry is reminiscent of some first person cosmic horror stuff. Love it
Italian here: you tried, we appreciate it :D
Thank you for the awesome content, as usual
Your dramatic reading has gotten really damn good. This was great to listen to.
Honestly, if I were the foundation, at this point I'd be eleminating anything that was even remotly connected to Alagada. That place is nothing but trouble.
I mean your not wrong but it's not really there style lol
These are getting scary! My imagination won't let me sleep, but I'm still listening. I'm so curious.
The return of Alagadda. Excellent.
This was a very enjoyable read and an amazing video, I always love reading the articles you cover before listening to your take on them, gives me a bit of a book club feeling
“While that all sounds completely awesome… “
Definately my new favorite horror SCP, replacing SCP 3999. I love how it starts out as some light body horror and evoking a fear of going insane.
Then it spikes up towards the middle with a tour of some of the creepiest horror tropes when describing the songs of The Choir, never dwelling on any particular one for too long, yet never brushing past the suffering they cause.
Then the Crusade and the Foundation's defense provide a satisfying conclusion that the reader can still dwell upon. Beautifully done.
That photo of thieves is so creepy I love it
Incredible reading - nothing short of a thrilling recital. Bravo indeed!
Omg, what a case. This one it's just awesome.
And the deft paladins from the perder of Judah omg
Immediately wanted to play Bloodborne after finishing this great piece.
For those wondering, the Hanged King of the equivalent of the King in Yellow from Lovecraft. With Alagadda being Carcosa.
why does the music, in the beginning, sound like the final 5 minutes of Everywhere At The End Of Time
