The name "Phrike" is pronounced "Freaky" and is the name of the Greek mythological spirit of horror. Her name literally means "tremor, shivering" (i. e. from fear, horror).
What makes this theme even better is the fact that the lore states that Phrike was locked in a vault so that she could not reach the Direlect Cititdel, making this fight paint her less as a blood thirsty beast and more as a confused, scared, and angry savior that is only fighting for her survival because that is all she has left.
I remember the first time getting to this boss and was paying attention and admiring the music more than the attacks of the boss....and then I died because of it.
I really hope that there will be released an official (extended) version of the OST on the streaming platforms with these great boss themes as well! Returnal is my Game of the Year, thanks to this hypnotic, atmospheric music!!!

I heard the devs pronounce it like Fhraykee.
Much appreciated.
I’m Greek and it’s pronounced Freaki. We still use it to express disgust or terror 👍

I can’t get enough of this game’s world and lore. One of the best games of this generation by far.
This track really does give off Blade Runner vibes

@@nachorafa Amazing... thank you!!!
It has a sort of Bladerunner sound to it. Love it.
This epic soundtrack introduces all the suffering you will endure in the next step of this master piece of art.
This music sounds really alien. I love the first time I heard it while I was trying to survive in the game.
[UNDEFINED TERROR]
This studio should make the next big AAA Alien game
And it won DICE in Audio Design and Music Composition.
This first fight was an amazing experience, this game is incredible
