i just realized that the chapter's title, 'Descend Beyond,' is the blighted perversion of Talbot's original motto: "To understand the human condition, one must 'rise above' it."
This has to be the most beautiful rendition of the dead by daylight theme. It’s almost beautifully tragic just like the killer but also has a feeling of terror and fear of what he’s become.
It gives me vibes, that we are all doomed. Talbot Grimes could’ve saved us, he injected the killers not to corrupt them, but possibly to save them from their curse. The ambition got to the best of him, and he became the very thing that he sought to stop. Our only hope, is Vigo or Benedict. Wherever Vigo is.. If he isn’t found, everyone ain’t getting out of this realm.
Is Talbot's loss of humanity not a tragic death? All Talbot ever wanted to do was to understand chemistry, understand how it all worked. Whenever he made a breakthrough, consequences would follow. Deaths of thousands. Being brought to the edge of insanity. Losing his mind and humanity to survive
It more like "the loss of a human, but the born of a monster" like, imagine a friend of yours becomes a literal monster in front of your eyes, that is what it sounds like, the loss of a friend and now youre gonna fight a monster
@@ferhbeirana1536 I imagine that as the survivors being with Talbot at once (including Meg, Claudette,Dwight and Jake etc. then seeing him become a killer.
Talbot Grimes was an ambitious chemist, who accidentally brought the death of millions through his work. After being saved from death by scholars from an ancient school, who required his knowledge, Talbot sought to bring humanity into a new age of enlightenment, only for his work to make him susceptible to a dark force. With the promise of knowledge of worlds he couldn't fathom, Talbot joined the Entity, and began his research on the Pustula serum, a nectar produced by the Pustula flowers, which bloom in the Entity's yearly Blight. He researched the effects of the Pustula serum by testing it on other killers, seeking to learn about this world and the Entity. When the Entity had Talbot become a Killer, Talbot refused, and so the Entity tossed him into the Void, where people go when they are no longer useful to the Entity. However, Talbot found a Pustula flower within the Void, and remembering his research, injected himself with Pustula serum to have enough strength to stay alive. Talbot began to go mad within the Void, his memories foggy and shattered, craving home, and more importantly, craving more Pustula serum. In desperation, he succumbs to the Entity's will. One flower. Talbot would rip apart Survivor and Killer alike for just one flower. And the Entity accepted. However, refusing to listen to the Entity warrants physical alterations. When Talbot took his first vial of serum in his new life, the Entity transformed him into what he was already becoming. A monster, corrupted by the Pustula serum. Talbot Grimes was blinded by his ambition. He sought to understand this realm, the Entity, and perhaps use it's powers to explore other worlds, and understand those as well. In his time in the Void, his last maddened thoughts were wishes he could return home. But not even death is an escape from the Entity...
in its style is amazing but don’t forget the other song lets say like doctor are amazing at their style too like this is about an dramatic horror movie but doctor is just an horror movie with madness vibes on it
The most lore heavy killer in the game is such a tragic one. Trying to survive and escape, yet he became a killer over addiction. The theme fits him very well.
This sounds much more twisted than usual: the blight wasn't just a killer that was found and taken by the entity, he was personally killed by it, turned into a hideous monster for the rest of his life against his will. And whether he was taken due to some feeling of justice for accidentally killing those workers or just due to random chance, the entity chose his faith, showing it is much less neutral than we thought.
I'm pretty sure the Blight was a drug addict who did experiments on people, and when the entity called out to him he willingly went into the entity's realm and used the blighted flowers' nectar or whatever it is to inject himself with and the other killers for his experiments.
@@dragocatsura4802 I don't think he ever intended on killing anyone though, when he found out about the workers he had killed he got more invested in his work to keep his mind off of it, clearly showing that he regrets it. and sure, he technically took the nectar, but from looking at the old cinematics and the entity's ability to mess with people's heads, paired with him KNOWING that the serum would fuck him up, I'm not so sure if I believe that that was entirely voluntary.
The reason the music is so dramatic is that the Blight is a reminder that you *cannot* escape the Entity. The detective is dead, and this new chemist has joined him in the ranks of the dead. Now, no other heroic survivors are left, and our only hope for escape is to find Vigo, wherever they are. Otherwise, we truly are trapped.
Vigo and benedict really are our last hope to escape. Not just as survivors, but killers too. Some killers dont deserve to be here. The blight, hag, plague, spirit, wraith, huntress and hillbilly
@@ChaotixMascot I don't think anyone really deserves the fate the entity gave them. No matter how messed up, eternal suffering is not just. I guess that's the point though
This music truly fits his characteristics. He's a man, studying, quite possibly trying to figure out a way to escape the entity. He injected killers with the nectar, studying their reactions, and what this serum could do for his and everyones future. Until soon, his ambitions took a sudden turn and now.. he has become the embodiment of the entity's wrath, a message, that states.. "There's no escaping the Entity, once it grasps you. Death is not an escape,"
I genuinely think he’s the strongest bc nurse does a blink 0.1 too short or too long she ends up in a completely wrong spot, blight can recover from this with rush tokens
This music really fits though. It sounds sad and solemn and it fits with the fact that his ambition got the best of him and now he's paying the price. This is all he can do forever now
I remember the day blight came out I wondered why the music was so sad then I read his lore A man who wanted to saves lives be considered top chemist then got cocky and was actually taking them instead without knowing.Pride and ambition was what got him killed and he had to pay the price and this is the theme of regret and sorrow. Once a man has ambition they can’t stop
I love how his music reflects his status as a student at a London university in Westminster or whatever it was, a member of high society. Almost sounds like something you might hear in an old Victorian ballroom or something but ofc twisted and drowned to befit the blights new form. I tell you the music team are literall geniuses.
This ghastly music reminds me how chilling his story is. The same serum he tried to escape The Entity’s realm with ended up being his downfall. The smart man once known as Talbot Grimes was no more.. Now, there is only a mindless monster with no free will or humanity.. There is only The Blight..
Descend Beyond is definitely one of my most favorite chapters, because of how long they've built up the moment to reveal this, from the Hallowed Blight lore and cutscenes revealed years ago which first introduced us to the Alchemist and his experiments done on the killers, to then reveal that his own experiments he too started to fall victim too hinted by the Archives, and then finally revealing that the Alchemist has become the killer now known as The Blight. The very manifestation of ambition but also the symbolization of the yearly Hallowed Blight events. I love how much thought, hype, and build up was made to bring us this chapter.
in my opinion the coolest thing BHVR has ever done. the music definitely fits the vibe of an obsessive maniac who made it into entity's realm against all odds through determination
I love this theme so much. I honestly don't miss the Silent Hill one. Only thing I don't like is that you can't see the survivors sitting at the campfire :(
@@alyssaide6426 it'd be cool having "hypnotize eyes" like vampires tend to that would make it just a little harder to run quickly or turn right while you're maintaining eye contact. I'm not sure if it would be better if he turned into a bat for a birds eyes view of the map, or if he could just teleport and stay invisible until he moves or something. Maybe he could have an illusionary terror radius too, like a different version of the doctor. Maybe it would activate next to the furthest survivor on the map, maybe you could fly to them? A lot of interesting stuff they could do with him, wonder what his weapon would be? I'd think a dagger or a sword would fit him, something sophisticated. (Or brutal if we get Nosferatu skins) (It'd be goofy having dracula show up on dead dawg saloon)
I'm not sure what he could have that would fit his character but there's a few that havent been done yet that could be interesting. Like kicking a generator causes that generator to switch to a far away generator (with a cooldown so that it's not terribly overpowered) maybe after 45 seconds or something the generators would switch places again. (Ooh, maybe kinda like that idea they had with legion and lockers, the lockers could be coffins and Dracula could teleport using those.) Maybe a perk kind of like a weaker sloppy butcher at first, where the more you damage a survivor the longer it takes them to heal and maybe If you down them like...3 times they are exposed for the rest of the match? I don't think that'd be too overpowered cause it would take a while to down someone 3 times, might even be weak but it would be like the more blood he draws the more aggressive he gets (making his wounds worse) or maybe when he's in bat form he can see the aura of bleeding survivors like a natural thanatophobia? I heard someone say that Jason should basically just be a really intimidating sped up M1 killer with teleports and boosted action speeds, if they dont do that for him I'd enjoy it with dracula.
Can u feel the anger sadness of this song? When the person u loved the most betrayed u the worst way and now u have no other option but feel pain and be someone who u not ...?
Love this theme. So spooky. Hopefully The Blight gets his own map soon. For him I'm imagining the rainy streets of 1800's London, or maybe something with a castle... 🤔
They need to put a castle in, I'm amazed they dont have one yet. If they ever wanna start putting classic horror characters in, that'd work great for Dracula too.
I like the the horrific, psychotic, mad tone it has. It fits in the hole "Ambition can slowly lead you down to dark holes, when deep enough, there's no going back".
" **A man once said, If there was anything cruel in the world. It would be lead. The beginning to something that will simply not end. To take what it desires the most. In any mistake anyone has made to be trapped in a hell worth knowing. The engagement of so many to start something unexplainable. Unbelievable. The choice is ours. One little mistake can make Everything, our mistake...** "
This sounds like what everyone else described it as: a track playing during a dramatic scene in an old school movie, maybe someone's death scene. It just doesn't fit the game but I must say this: This is one of the better killer menu theme's they've made.
We have people saying that something "Doesn't fit the game" almost every patch now, it's funny. I think it fits a tragic killer like the Blight fairly well, and isn't out of place in my mind at all.
This is my favourite theme so far, preciously it was Legions theme and Silent Hills theme. I’m not sure what I is about this one but it portrays sorrow and unease really well, it sent shivers down my spine when I first heard it!
Me too! I remember that this theme gave to me all of emotions when I was new a the game, and I thought it was the main them, unfortunately some time later they take off this fantastic music. I play Blight often as well for nostalgia.
I feel like chapter 18, 19 and 20 will shake up the game with a new early game that was announced, the graphical updates, and new interesting perks like the blights and felix.
theory: Benedict Baker (another of the lore relevant characters that never physically appeared) lost all hope, and as he said, many survivors after becoming just empty shells without emotion, they are turned into killers, one of the next chapters could be him
@@garlicgoat259 yeah, but not all of them are turned into killers. Survivors who are empty shells now get thrown into the void. Vigo was thrown into the void because the entity knew he was finding out a lot of things. He's the only Survivor to successfully make it out of the entities realm and back to the human world
@Ignan They never said they scrapped it. They said it changed directions, meaning it's still related to early game but they may have found a better alternative
By far the best menu music for any killer. Some of them have some very nice ones, I like Ghostface and Demogorgon's, but this one just suits Blight so perfectly.
Blight would be terrifying IRL imagine you're walking around a deserted street and you turn around after passing an alley way and hearing a strange noise to see the blight staring at you from around the corner, not blinking then all of a sudden he breaks out into a sprint and hits you on the legs to take you for his experiments or some shit
This music and his chase theme really fit the description of Talbot. Mystery mixed with curiosity, then followed up by emptiness or sadness. Talbot was once a great scientist, a genius of his age, a great manipulator at that. But one day that changed, he sought after a new study, a prize in his eyes. He witnessed the entity and was twisted into insanity by his obsession. He desperately reached to obtain the power of the serum created from the entity’s virus plants and ended up attaining that power in the end, with a little push… But at what cost? He snarls and growls like a beast, his jaw now hangs unnaturally ajar from his head, his eyes hollowed into glowing sockets, his back now made crooked by the pus cluttering his veins, he rams into walls bewildered, how far from grace. In the end it was his own ugly obsession that transformed him into a true monster.
I love this theme so much It is like the blight A reminder of what happens to those who go to far Only tragedy awaits The Blight is also one of the first heroic survivors And see what he has become due to the entity It shows how cruel the Entity is despite it's seemingly always neutral position in the trials
>Its seemingly neutral position in the trials Also the entity: places 4 innocent people with a twisted killer where they are to be tortured by being subjected to the killer’s evil powers and hung on meathooks with the threat of being brutally sacrificed
I don’t think Blight was ever “heroic” per se. He was more so just stubborn in the sense that he was overly obsessed with his quest for knowledge and discovery that he wound up delving too deep into unfathomable cosmic forces far beyond mortal comprehension and was ultimately consumed by his own research. In other words, he had ambition but lacked restraint which is what led to his downfall. Felix had the same ambition for an intertwining cause, but he didn’t let it disrupt his way of life or lead him down a darker path. Instead, he used it as fuel for him to fulfill his own life goals as tribute to his late father.
@@professoremil Nice from you to write that essay but heroic wasn't meant literally. so ye. What you wrote was all kind of in vain It's just the term I used to describe the group of ,,first" survivors (in the lore we don't know yet if they were the first). I also don't think that any survivor is really heroic anyway since everyone has their little package of problems. Talbot especially was quite the opposite of heroic so I can agree on that and on Felix. I like how the killer and survivor for the new chapter are both ambitious but one succeeded while the other went to far and fell all the way down into despair.
Tbh if dbd was a singleplayer story mode that would be perfect for some kind of ,,bad ending" or ,,killer ending" Or that would be just perfect for the last killer they would EVER release, just a soft goodbye and thank you
At first the title font made me think that this chapter will be something like the Twilight Zone. But now it reminds me of Dont Starve and old horror movies like Frankenstein.
Best menu music hands down! Harmousily beautiful and very fitting for the character. Hope we get more bangers like this, but I doubt any other killers will have a somber orchestral motife to their themes like this one
I really like his lore. He was a survivor turned killer. After he was bitten by the putrid rat, he became infected and slowly descended into madness before finally taking the plunge and injecting himself with a vial of putrid nectar.
Lawson D. Hovind You’re completely forgetting about the Hallowed Blight lore, as well. The Hallowed Blight lore was about Talbot Grimes and his descent into madness. Talbot Grimes is The Alchemist.
When Talbot Grimes first entered the Entity’s realm, he was a survivor. His journal even details some of his encounters with the killers (namely the Doctor). He created the Putrid Serum during the Blight event, and began experimenting with it. His first subject was a rat that attacked him. After the attack, he mentions that his wound was infected with the blight (the one on his shoulder). He then desperately began searching for more nectar, but ultimately failed. His last journal entry is “It’s here. The entity is here. It has found me.” Then from there begins The Alchemist lore from the Tomes.
Bro i got the blight not too long ago and i just sat in the lobby with him listening to his music and tell me why it gives me a weird vibe, it sounds like if it would be from a movie in black in white and it would be depressing, but yeah it is beautiful at the same time
All that wisdom and all that effort....and he still failed to escape. Nothing can save you once the entity has you, nothing can free you from its grasp.....not even death
You know what this makes me think of? If ever SOMEHOW there is a Bioshock themed chapter where big daddy is a killer this would make an oddly fitting menu theme.

Can u feel the anger sadness of this song? When the person u loved the most betrayed u the worst way and now u have no other option but feel pain and be someone who u not ...?
Ok no offense but god fucking damn learn how to spell you right
Love this theme. So spooky. Hopefully The Blight gets his own map soon. For him I'm imagining the rainy streets of 1800's London, or maybe something with a castle... 🤔
They need to put a castle in, I'm amazed they dont have one yet. If they ever wanna start putting classic horror characters in, that'd work great for Dracula too.
@@Klausinator451 dracula and his castle is one of the next chapters mark my words

@@acostrow extremely F
@@Klausinator451This aged well
I like the the horrific, psychotic, mad tone it has. It fits in the hole "Ambition can slowly lead you down to dark holes, when deep enough, there's no going back".
Really love the dramatic old-timey aesthetic of this chapter
It may not fit the general style of DBD themes, but damn is it good.
It still sound similar cause of those four notes
@@S1L3NTBUTCH3R i cant catch those four notes to be honest
Its The second theme that i have problem with finding dead by daylight words in it
@@metalbilly5121 yes it’s different but change is good but I still have a soft spot for the base survivor and killer theme:)
" **A man once said, If there was anything cruel in the world. It would be lead. The beginning to something that will simply not end. To take what it desires the most. In any mistake anyone has made to be trapped in a hell worth knowing. The engagement of so many to start something unexplainable. Unbelievable. The choice is ours. One little mistake can make Everything, our mistake...** "
Who said that?
This is OUR mistake
*USSR song*
It's really beautiful menu music. The melody also reminds me a bit of music from the main menu of game Outlast.
This is straight out of the phantom of the opera, and I love it
This sounds like what everyone else described it as: a track playing during a dramatic scene in an old school movie, maybe someone's death scene. It just doesn't fit the game but I must say this: This is one of the better killer menu theme's they've made.
Facts for me my top 3 is Pyramid head theme >> The blight theme > The legion theme
they shape the game more and more differently with every passing moment
It does fit the game you just don’t know the game very well
@@Nannocomingtogetyou preach dude. Themes are made around the character and they probably dont understand who Talbot Grimes is
We have people saying that something "Doesn't fit the game" almost every patch now, it's funny. I think it fits a tragic killer like the Blight fairly well, and isn't out of place in my mind at all.
This theme gives me a emotion I can't describe it feels unerveing and yet calm like your drowning.
This is my favourite theme so far, preciously it was Legions theme and Silent Hills theme. I’m not sure what I is about this one but it portrays sorrow and unease really well, it sent shivers down my spine when I first heard it!
0:39
*G O O S E B U M P S*
Ash Main I know that part hits different
It’s so depressing that I sometimes take my headset off when queuing with him
sadness 100
This is probably the best chapter theme, it also contains a mystery and classical style.
Thank you so much! I've been looking everywhere for this
For menu music, this wasn't what I was expecting, but it's so eerie and I love it!
A great theme is something that cannot only fit a character, but also be described with just one word for both
Tragic.
When I played Dbd for the first time, I tought this was the original theme of the game, because it is very good
Me too! I remember that this theme gave to me all of emotions when I was new a the game, and I thought it was the main them, unfortunately some time later they take off this fantastic music. I play Blight often as well for nostalgia.
i wish it was, or at least you could change the menu music
Beautiful, adds so much character to The Blight
I get goosebumps from this music cuz it's so sad and dramatic that it sets chills down my spine of horror, sadness and depression.
I remember I got dead by daylight for my birthday and this music came on when I first opened it up
From a brilliant Alchemist to a monster with no free will forced to be an eldritch god's lapdog for eternity.
I feel like chapter 18, 19 and 20 will shake up the game with a new early game that was announced, the graphical updates, and new interesting perks like the blights and felix.
They announced a new earlygame?
theory: Benedict Baker (another of the lore relevant characters that never physically appeared) lost all hope, and as he said, many survivors after becoming just empty shells without emotion, they are turned into killers, one of the next chapters could be him
@@garlicgoat259 yeah, but not all of them are turned into killers. Survivors who are empty shells now get thrown into the void. Vigo was thrown into the void because the entity knew he was finding out a lot of things. He's the only Survivor to successfully make it out of the entities realm and back to the human world
@Ignan They never said they scrapped it. They said it changed directions, meaning it's still related to early game but they may have found a better alternative
bruh..
By far the best menu music for any killer. Some of them have some very nice ones, I like Ghostface and Demogorgon's, but this one just suits Blight so perfectly.
Blight would be terrifying IRL
imagine you're walking around a deserted street and you turn around after passing an alley way and hearing a strange noise to see the blight staring at you from around the corner, not blinking
then all of a sudden he breaks out into a sprint and hits you on the legs to take you for his experiments or some shit
Talbot is the first case of a survivor actually corrupted by the entity and becoming a killer.
This music and his chase theme really fit the description of Talbot. Mystery mixed with curiosity, then followed up by emptiness or sadness. Talbot was once a great scientist, a genius of his age, a great manipulator at that.
But one day that changed, he sought after a new study, a prize in his eyes.
He witnessed the entity and was twisted into insanity by his obsession. He desperately reached to obtain the power of the serum created from the entity’s virus plants and ended up attaining that power in the end, with a little push…
But at what cost? He snarls and growls like a beast, his jaw now hangs unnaturally ajar from his head, his eyes hollowed into glowing sockets, his back now made crooked by the pus cluttering his veins, he rams into walls bewildered, how far from grace.
In the end it was his own ugly obsession that transformed him into a true monster.
This is so beautiful and at the same time tragic, I'm crying non-stop right now
I love this theme so much
It is like the blight
A reminder of what happens to those who go to far
Only tragedy awaits
The Blight is also one of the first heroic survivors
And see what he has become due to the entity
It shows how cruel the Entity is
despite it's seemingly always neutral position in the trials
>Its seemingly neutral position in the trials
Also the entity: places 4 innocent people with a twisted killer where they are to be tortured by being subjected to the killer’s evil powers and hung on meathooks with the threat of being brutally sacrificed
I don’t think Blight was ever “heroic” per se. He was more so just stubborn in the sense that he was overly obsessed with his quest for knowledge and discovery that he wound up delving too deep into unfathomable cosmic forces far beyond mortal comprehension and was ultimately consumed by his own research. In other words, he had ambition but lacked restraint which is what led to his downfall. Felix had the same ambition for an intertwining cause, but he didn’t let it disrupt his way of life or lead him down a darker path. Instead, he used it as fuel for him to fulfill his own life goals as tribute to his late father.
@@professoremil Nice from you to write that essay but heroic wasn't meant literally. so ye. What you wrote was all kind of in vain
It's just the term I used to describe the group of ,,first" survivors (in the lore we don't know yet if they were the first). I also don't think that any survivor is really heroic anyway since everyone has their little package of problems.
Talbot especially was quite the opposite of heroic so I can agree on that and on Felix. I like how the killer and survivor for the new chapter are both ambitious but one succeeded while the other went to far and fell all the way down into despair.
0:40 is so ominous and good
I also think so at 0:15
Tbh if dbd was a singleplayer story mode that would be perfect for some kind of ,,bad ending" or ,,killer ending"
Or that would be just perfect for the last killer they would EVER release, just a soft goodbye and thank you
I play violin. And the one thing that (in my opinion) truly resembles grief and drama, are those juicy glissandi upwards.
At first the title font made me think that this chapter will be something like the Twilight Zone. But now it reminds me of Dont Starve and old horror movies like Frankenstein.
Fits perfectly with the total devastation this killer is capable of
Tragic, intriguing, and mesmerizing can’t even begin to describe how rich The Blight’s lore and his theme only increases my liking to his story.
Theme and background wise - best chapter in the game EVER.
Using all the lore stuff as addons is cherry on top.
This was the right way to narrate.
This theme is extremely fitting, once a man trying to save others from an endless nightmare only to start working for it.
This is a piece of art
This sounds like the feeling of defeat, mourning, tragedy, and melancholy
Still the best dbd lobby music ever
This sounds… depressing… but amazing.
Best menu music hands down! Harmousily beautiful and very fitting for the character.
Hope we get more bangers like this, but I doubt any other killers will have a somber orchestral motife to their themes like this one
I can’t believe this is 11 months old. I feel old. Times were better when this DLC was first released, it was the last good DLC we’ve had so far.
Now almost 3 years later Dbd sucks now
Approximately 4-ish years later, I'd argue we're pretty back
@@theirsonson9369 Always has lmao
This track makes me feel so sad.
After 2 years and after this many new menu themes this is still my favourite one.
I really like his lore. He was a survivor turned killer. After he was bitten by the putrid rat, he became infected and slowly descended into madness before finally taking the plunge and injecting himself with a vial of putrid nectar.
Lawson D. Hovind You’re completely forgetting about the Hallowed Blight lore, as well. The Hallowed Blight lore was about Talbot Grimes and his descent into madness. Talbot Grimes is The Alchemist.
When Talbot Grimes first entered the Entity’s realm, he was a survivor. His journal even details some of his encounters with the killers (namely the Doctor). He created the Putrid Serum during the Blight event, and began experimenting with it. His first subject was a rat that attacked him. After the attack, he mentions that his wound was infected with the blight (the one on his shoulder). He then desperately began searching for more nectar, but ultimately failed. His last journal entry is “It’s here. The entity is here. It has found me.” Then from there begins The Alchemist lore from the Tomes.
This is a absolutely amazing soundtrack. So dramatic, but dark as well.
0:15 Love this part. Very nice.
This is some of the best I've heard so far! Can't wait for someone to do 10 hours worth! ^^
just use "loop" command
left mouse button on video screen and select "loop", thank me later
It's crazy that someday this will become 8 years old, and dbd will have probably been shut down. Leaving these amazing memories with it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!
Bro i got the blight not too long ago and i just sat in the lobby with him listening to his music and tell me why it gives me a weird vibe, it sounds like if it would be from a movie in black in white and it would be depressing, but yeah it is beautiful at the same time
Exactly what I thought. He looks like he's from one of those old white and black movies situated in castles.
@@Nuked8000 right
Listening to this while reading his lore is something different 💀💀💀
I always had goosebumps when it played. Still have. This sounds so depressive and tragic...
Best menu music yet Imo. So beautifull
while i was waiting for game i read history of blight. its brilliant
All that wisdom and all that effort....and he still failed to escape. Nothing can save you once the entity has you, nothing can free you from its grasp.....not even death
You know what this makes me think of? If ever SOMEHOW there is a Bioshock themed chapter where big daddy is a killer this would make an oddly fitting menu theme.
My favourite killer and one of my favorite themes!
Just something about this music. It's definitely my favorite Dead By Daylight killer theme.
This music makes me feel very sad! 😭
when you finally see how you can hate from outside of the club:
sounds like outlast
and i would lowkey love this to be the default menu music, it fits dbd so well
this music sounds so sad tragic and hopeless really give more atmosphere to blights character
This is when I first played dbd, and I thought the thing in the Descend beyond opening scene was the entity
i dont know why, but blight has got to be my favorite dbd character, i love his backstory and lore and how he almost escaped the realm
Almost escaped it? I'm guessing that is in a tome, and if so, which one? But if not, where is that said?
@@panicwolf8586 in his lore he got super close to escaping the realm but the entity found out and threw him into the void
Best DBD music according to me !! I like the tragical aspect. it reminds me of a man who is torn and who is subjected to forces beyond him
This music is so well made. Omg
