Sammy A. Madi You do have to pay a bit of attention to see that he has incorporated the bass guitar for the bass line in this song. He's just synthesized and sped up the oscillation of the frequency a bit to make it sound more electronic.
Lyrics: Flowers that bloom in the darkness It's a sighting that is rare to come across Nobody seems to have noticed That the power that could be bestowed is lost Riding through the twilight This armory protects my heart There's a voice that is calling It's calling for me to go beyond Where I've always been longing I'm longing to find where I belong Soon this fight will come to an end The Valkyrie chose to defend When we were young; endless wonder Thoughts of death were not a cause to live slowly Now the unknowns seem to haunt us Could this physical experience be free? What is fate revealing Will I survive or will I fall?
I keep thinking if the line of the second set was “The Valkyrie chose to descend” it would’ve hit so much harder. “Hey, Angel of battle, here I am! Run hands!”
OctaviaMC not for me.I come here I think just after Nitro Fun's first single new game, but I loved old artists like Pegboard Nerds and semi-new artist like Haywyre, but Varien is also very amazing.
Joseph Salgado whew im glad you added that like a condescending jackass. I was getting all worked up when he said Varien was the best as if it were fact. Almost made me post my favorite artist.
I like how Varien has a style of making electronic music that integrates rock/metal type of style into it, just shows that electronic is not just computer sounds and the sounds of dial up modems :P
Laura Brehm's voice can be haunting, icey, and eerie, but then intruiging, melodious, empowering, and uplifting too. Why she isnt super famous, I have no idea.
Ahh the release I turn too to show off to friends who have never heard of Monstercat. The genius that is Varien teamed with the flawless vocals of Laura Brehm can't be beaten. Perfection!
Honestly, though. This song just didn't grab me, sure it was a great tune, but I just don't see me liking this song. Don't get me wrong, I like Varien and I respect people who like him, I just think this song lacks something somehow. I must consult the book of Drumstep to remedy a solution. I will be back shortly.

Varien strikes again! I love this song! Varien is really using his gift of creativity here. The melody is great and although the drop seem ax to come out of nowhere, it has great chords, a great blended melody, and great drumstep bass. Laura Brehm is one of the best vocalists on monstercat and really adds to the mysterious mood of this track. Excellent work, Varien! Nitro Fun is back! YUSSSSSS! And doing house music? I can't wait to see how this plays out!
In Norse mythology, Valkyries were female spirits who assisted fallen warriors as they prepared for the end-times, known as Ragnarok. Here's the order of events: 1) Sun goes out, and darkness fills the land 2) Gods go to war, and Odin, the all-father, falls to Fenrir, the world-eater 3) Varien stops producing music
it has actual drums and possibly synths (if these sounds in the drop are synths then it is Drumstep unless this track is somethin between Electronic music and non Electronic music)
It sounds like a theme song for an Anime. 1:06 **Birds flying around and the anime title is revealed** 1:42 **anime girl biking into the wilderness** 1:53 **anime villain removing his wound bandages.** :) i dunno man maybe im just watching too much anime.
Sounds like Varien used actual drums, and not just any drum. It seems that he's using double bass pedals, and that electric guitar is legit af. If it was a guy singing and if the guitar had faster riffs I would've confused this for a speed metal/power metal song about fantasy viking folklore or something
two kick pedals are not enough (the kick in this music is too fast for the average guy). i'm pretty sure he's using a sound library (might be a kontakt drum library)
As a drummer I will both agree and point out while the average drummer may not be able to do it, it's pretty possible with not all that much practice, if it were extended parts at those speeds then I'd question it, but bursts just take practice
oh my god....the return of varien with a killer drumstep tracks! easily my new favorite of his tracks and possible new favorite monstercat release! VARIEN IS BACK BITCHES
First heard Laura Brehm in Tut Tut Child's - Eye of the Storm. Her voice is amazing. Fucking love Varien though! He makes music like rabbits make love!

Brasileiro detectado
Ala o patriota mano kkkk 9 anos atrás slk, música boa não envelhece msm
Imagine being in a PVP situation about to DIE, and you suddenly get to go HAM! hahahahaha! This is a fantastic song!
Oh Varien, you never disappoint.
Ooo a verified person, don’t mind if I do!
@@dejus_e
You say that as if this is the only verified person in the comments.
9 years? 9 freaking years ago. How time flies. It feels like just yesterday i was telling my friends about this song.
I guess I am not the only one who always come back lol
@@merryyaa always.
Goated song then, goated song now
Always 🥹
6 years has passed. Bring back so much memories '))
yea ma childhood memories...
same bro, valkyrie reminds me of a certain period of time in my life.
Varien.. One of the most special artists on Monstercat!
And unique
On a different note, your avatars and some others here have this dotted cicle in it... What's the meaning of that?
soeren555 They're apart of a network called edmDistrict
soeren555
EDM district
***** and correct me if im wrong, but he's been on this label since 001 (as Halo Nova)
I just love the way that Varien uses instrumentals to make his drumstep. If you listen closely you can notice the base guitar and the drums
Ruwindu Gunatilake no fucking shit XD
ya dude thats kind of the point... and do you really have to listen that closely?
Sammy A. Madi You do have to pay a bit of attention to see that he has incorporated the bass guitar for the bass line in this song. He's just synthesized and sped up the oscillation of the frequency a bit to make it sound more electronic.
The bass guitar is one of the main instruments in this song and you don't have to listen closely for the drums. Its called Drumstep for a reason.
Alex Pearce you have the mouth full of truth
Lyrics:
Flowers that bloom in the darkness
It's a sighting that is rare to come across
Nobody seems to have noticed
That the power that could be bestowed is lost
Riding through the twilight
This armory protects my heart
There's a voice that is calling
It's calling for me to go beyond
Where I've always been longing
I'm longing to find where I belong
Soon this fight will come to an end
The Valkyrie chose to defend
When we were young; endless wonder
Thoughts of death were not a cause to live slowly
Now the unknowns seem to haunt us
Could this physical experience be free?
What is fate revealing
Will I survive or will I fall?
Gabriel Araujo thx for the lyrics :D

Eae, bão?
This comment deserves a pin and always in the upper
I keep thinking if the line of the second set was “The Valkyrie chose to descend” it would’ve hit so much harder. “Hey, Angel of battle, here I am! Run hands!”
A message to the future generations. Don't let this song die.
Dont plan on it
Roger that
bro you are the future generation
@@OBAJ27 no bro we are old af now
I'm sure it will not!
I am very quickly learning that, if it has Laura Brehm in it, its probably a good song
justin johns This!!!!
justin johns It's always a good song ;)
justin johns Laura Brehm is Beautiful... in every way possible
Alex Terrill True that
justin johns you learn quick my young padawan
This isn't a song. It's a breathtaking experience. Thank you, Varien and Laura.
That feel when the song you didn't think existed with everything you wanted in it just played.
same, same
Goreymoon Productions yep, called it. 👍🏻
Goreymoon Productions this song is trash try young thug or Nicki manaj
Shreyan are you serious? Lmfao.
'twas a joke....
I’m still shocked to this day, after listening to Laura for a decade, that she hasn’t blown up tremendously.
Absolutely INSANE!
6 YEARS ago ... time goes by so fast .
lmao
I think no one even know him that time
Yeah it really does if u think about it
Damn
Varien is by far the most underrated artist. He never fails to amaze me
he's not really underrated...most consider Varien and Tristam the legends of monsterscat
I mean the newer "fans" They all love astronaut and the new artists, but they underrate people like varien etc
OctaviaMC not for me.I come here I think just after Nitro Fun's first single new game, but I loved old artists like Pegboard Nerds and semi-new artist like Haywyre, but Varien is also very amazing.
SkittlezTheNerd Tristan FTW
Deathmeter1 **Tristam**
2014 was an amazing year for Monstercat
It was before the comments went to shit. Ahhhh, good times :)
+Definitelynotme69 👌😅
Nah not really because people were all like "Who came from (Shitty UA-camr)?" or some shit like that.
I would say 2012 was the best year
But stuff like that has helped monstercat's population grow... a lot of us are gamers anyways, so what does it matter?
I can't get over how much I like Laura Brehm's voice, amazing singer in my opinion.
This song feels unsatisfyingly short
+Bullitt yah there should be two rifts imo
Daniel Liu ikr, I want MOAR!
+Bullitt I'm making one for you right now, adding 1 more instrumental part, hang on
+Bullitt it's done, message me for it :D
***** wow just for me ?
OMG 0:53 KILLED ME
THAT AWESOME MIX OF HEAVY METAL AND TRAP IS THE BEST
idk about trap but def electronic
@@JoannealD i agree. Definitely electro
Djent life
At this point Laura Brehm is part of monstercat family. She should be signed to the label.
For real I absolutely love every song she's on. She's probably my favorite vocalist ever too tbh.
Love it, from soft tones intensifying to rock music transforming to epic adventure/action music containing old video game music and hard drops
Best artist on the label..... by far.
*in your opinion
Joseph Salgado I assumed people would realise that it was my opinion.
laura breahm amirite
Joseph Salgado whew im glad you added that like a condescending jackass. I was getting all worked up when he said Varien was the best as if it were fact. Almost made me post my favorite artist.
w0w name calling
1:04 The drop is charging my soul.
HNGGGGYYAAAAAAAAH!!!
the drop 1:50 is way more charging for my soul :D
IIStaNNuMII Gaming agree with you
TOTALLY!!
For some reason this part reminds me of mega man musics
Dayum! Thats sick!
*NO!* It's *_MONSTRUOUS!!!_*
NEVER UNDERESTAMATE THE POWER OF LAURA BREHMS MUSIC
I love that guitar.
I think we all love that guitar
agreed
I absolutely adore his orchestra!
I absolutely live Varien
Varien is the best at making rockstep.
The Part from 1:12 to 1:40 remembers me at the SAO Intro.
I thought of this too, this would be a good intro for SAO in itself
hello mecha kha zix!
Exactly what I thought!!!
idk... i've listened to this and crossing fields a thousand times and it never crossed my mind :/
redshark1921 Its the similarity in melody between the very start of crossing fields and the start of this drop
Oh damn.
Hey fennoman lol didnt think i would ever encounter u here XD hows it going?, and great vids man keep it up.
Much damn...
Sent chills through my entire body.
Doge Aktosh Much doge
Thesnakerox So true.
2:41 I adore that peace part
Who doesn't?
I love how unique Varien's songs are! Just beautifull.
I like how Varien has a style of making electronic music that integrates rock/metal type of style into it, just shows that electronic is not just computer sounds and the sounds of dial up modems :P
Drop was so hard, the meteor that killed dinos is jelaous

is that original? lol :D
Got actual shivers. I haven't felt like this in years. Thank you.

EDM (Electronic Dance Metal)
True as a piss in the wind
this is drumstep
i think you mean electronic death metal
You mean Music?
some say it's not EDM
Chills up my spine. Just amazingly good. Words are no good to express how I feel when I listen to this. So I just listen again. And again. And again.
yea man u are right about this. Laura brehm is so good , amazing voice.
Laura Brehm's voice can be haunting, icey, and eerie, but then intruiging, melodious, empowering, and uplifting too. Why she isnt super famous, I have no idea.

This is a tune which makes me come back every year.
I love the voice of Brehm. Her singing way is so calm and powerfull at the same time.
I can swear i heard the 1:05 part somewhere when i was a kid, a video game or something
KnezAlex Probably because it sounds like it's from an anime opening.
KnezAlex We're all kids! :D
Hamoudy73 How the hell would you know that?
KnezAlex that is most def megaman you are thinking of, cant remember what megaman game or level though
MasterrHD yup. Sounds like an anime opening

Me - "Well, that escalated quickly."

Gyxtsis They're trying to find a new kind of "drop" I guess.
I'm sick of the same ones that are in every song.
Come on Monstercat, I think we need less vocals for 018.
Almost had a heart attack xD
was thinking that lol
This is definitely Metalstep...
THE BEST SONG OF THIS ALBUM POSSIBLY!
Oh god 10 years ago now...
I hope we can find peace, you and I.
2:15 is soo good that makes me cry
I was not expecting that first drop it gave me chills
Flowers that bloom in the darkness
It's a sighting that is rare to come across
Nobody seems to have noticed
That the power that could be bestowed is lost
Riding through the twilight
This armory protects my heart
There's a voice that is calling
It's calling for me to go beyond
Where I've always been longing
I'm longing to find where I belong
Soon this fight will come to an end
The Valkyrie chose to defend
When we were young; endless wonder
Thoughts of death were not a cause to live slowly
Now the unknowns seem to haunt us
Could this physical experience be free?
What is fate revealing
Will I survive or will I fall?

2 years later, still my 2nd favorite Monstercat release!
Sounds like a mix of anime songs and 8-bit video game music :) I love it!
Huge release Monstercat :)

It. Is. Perfect.

***** What?
I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Batman that is commenting on every single Monstercat song. Either way, this kid isn't that smart.
Ethan Prendergast Oh okay. But doesn't like half the comment section do this sort of thing?
this is a very cool mix of styles in my opinion. i love the metal influences, and lauras voice together with it. 1:52 is the best part ♥
I love the guitar in this song. The tune is really addicting :)
Laura!Your voice is GODLIKE,no other one can feel this Insane beat,like you!!I ❤you!!!!And your musik😊❤️
This song is to damn short and it doesn't cut it, keep up the good work monstercat :)
ohhh Frankie... you got me here...

kimnig that was the most epic answer i saw in a long time:D

kimnig ME TOO!!!
+epic g2 are you referring to Ali A? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaahaha wow, yeah no.
I like the song's eerie sad melody. Then it goes hard core.
Mr. Spades valkyrie II was too eerie and sad for me to even finish the whole song
Lol it's okay :3
i loved that drop
my ears r still earraped after ten minutes
0:54 When at the last moment you reach the closing portal and overcome the greatest evil while saving the world
In Norse mythology, Valkyries were female spirits who assisted fallen warriors as they prepared for the end-times, known as Ragnarok. Here's the order of events:
1) Sun goes out, and darkness fills the land
2) Gods go to war, and Odin, the all-father, falls to Fenrir, the world-eater
3) Varien stops producing music
Anyone else that had to come back to this song after listening to Valkyrie III?
Yep
As I say
Valkyrie 3 is in major chord
I have to comeback to confirm my hypothesis
Yup. I like this one best tho :)
I love how he implemented the bass rhythm at 2:05 in the other Valkyries
+Hyttelus You read our minds well....
THooM It's up now :)
I just bought like 30 copies of this song. I shall give it to everyone I know.
Then keep the other 29 for myself.

IM Wercs I guess he knows 1 person
Lonerboner lol
lol, I have a friend named TheMajesticTurtle.
this song too good,i have listened for 3 years ,still never bored of it
After a long time this song made me feel music again, it's simply a masterpiece
How come I never heard of this song? It’s freaking lit!!
Fun fact: Stephen Walking has produced a song on every Monstercat album so far! (I need a life) ;)
Except for 016. Sorry to burst your bubble :)
the rain remix by stephen walking was on the album
Klaasjan Hoekstra His Rain remix.
Thats just smart
Klaasjan Hoekstra Did you just research that yourself?
Omg.
1:54 best part, she can sing to every genre, bro. so lovely
This is what we called "drum step"
it has actual drums and possibly synths
(if these sounds in the drop are synths then it is Drumstep unless this track is somethin between Electronic music and non Electronic music)
It sounds like a theme song for an Anime.
1:06 **Birds flying around and the anime title is revealed**
1:42 **anime girl biking into the wilderness**
1:53 **anime villain removing his wound bandages.**
:) i dunno man maybe im just watching too much anime.
I dont watch any anime unless you occasionally count Beyblade and Pokemon ._.
SHUDDUP! You can NEVER EVER EEVER watch to much anime. Actually, I bet you haven't watched enough! SO GO WATCH MODE! t(>~
Well, Varien has made music for; The Purge: Anarchy, 300: The Rise (or whatever the hell it was called), and Furious 7.
Kandyman9999 Anime is pretty cool (e.g. Attack on Titan, Death Note) but admittedly I do find weeaboos very strange as well.
lolpl0000 Normal dicks are the best kind of dicks.
oh how I miss the old days
Best release ever on Monstercat to date.
Laura Brehm has the best voice i've ever heard.
Instant Megaman vibe.
i thought i was the only one lol. reminds me of the X series (early ones) and not those sissy originals.
MMX 1. Every track is overflowing with complete glory!
You should listen to Protomen if you don't already. Light up the night and the hounds are great.
Dids Thought I was the only one. haha
Dids Are you everywhere ?
Sounds like Varien used actual drums, and not just any drum. It seems that he's using double bass pedals, and that electric guitar is legit af. If it was a guy singing and if the guitar had faster riffs I would've confused this for a speed metal/power metal song about fantasy viking folklore or something
So true. I wanna see the drummer irl
two kick pedals are not enough (the kick in this music is too fast for the average guy). i'm pretty sure he's using a sound library (might be a kontakt drum library)
still sound good. plus its still humanly possible.
People can actually drum that fast, using a double-kick
As a drummer I will both agree and point out while the average drummer may not be able to do it, it's pretty possible with not all that much practice, if it were extended parts at those speeds then I'd question it, but bursts just take practice
This song is turning 10 years old today!
After years looking for this song I finally found it🙏
@Benedito Anderson Cavalcante de Castro hell yea bro💥🔊 good song
The texture of Laura's voice is perfect for that "whispering, hollow, haunting effect"
Almost 2019 but i remember this lovely track.
2020 still here

can't stop hearing it

First heard Laura Brehm in Tut Tut Child's - Eye of the Storm. Her voice is amazing. Fucking love Varien though! He makes music like rabbits make love!
no, like they mean it, when they bang, they fucking bang. when Varien makes music, he makes it so good and means it
Chrysa1isTYPE2000 Good example.
Who is the girl singing this song?
***** Laura Brehm was best in Mr FijiWiji, Laura Brehm & AgNO3 - Pure Sunlight
Midnight Raven or Two Thirds - Waking Dreams.. her voice goes so well with that chill feel
0:55
this song needs some serious skills in drums
It's all electronic besides what was wrong
This is epic.
