Love it :) Loved the OG Helldiver score, so many great memories attached to it. It also did a wonderful job of creating atmosphere and emotionally guiding players throughout the whole experience. I was really happy with the new games composers choice to sample a motif from your main theme and build from there. It really creates a cohesive personality and connective tissue between the two games, a sort of musical consistency.
Thank you so much ! Im really glad you liked music ! =) Yea i think Wilbert did a great job with the new soundtrack and as you said it was really nice to hear the old motif in there! =)
2:56 "plot a course to super earth, we're going home" leans over the war table *camera zooms into the war table than slowly shifts to showing us super earth, *FTL jumps detected* moving to the next scene showing from a child of super earth holding their mothers hand POV looking into orbit, witnessing the return of their heroes "queue music 3:09" All citizens of super earth look into the sky with tears, smiles and joy, that they have returned home safe, some saddened by the loss of their families and friends and loved ones. 4:32 queue music But despite their sorrow they look to the sky with hope...that they will always be there. Scene shifts to a helldiver commander on the viewing deck looking over super earth only viewing the back of the soldier. he turns and faces his squad *queue the sun shining with super earth at the back and build up from music **4:55* and shouts from the top of his lungs 5:00 "FOR SUPER EARTH!!!" His squad back him: "FOR SUPER EARTH!!!" in unison
Not even sorry, Helldivers 1 soundtrack is beyond better than the Helldivers 2 one. HD 2 does do a good job, but nothing captures the sheer awesomeness of staring down the hordes hellbent on wrecking your entire day and baraging them with endless machine gun and explosive fire to these utter masterpeices. The sound is just next level and adding this to the first person reality of HD 2 would just immerse the player in a maelstrom of glory as we raise hell, but still, these songs have made some amazing memories when playing HD1... nothing short of pure bliss when playing that game made possible only down to the genius sound design of Johan Lindgren.
@@jlindgrenswe no, thank you mate! Really appreciate your work and it really immerses me in the game - a sci fi action zone where the heat is on, the pressure is high, and it just captures the mood of the moment in the game at that point in time. It's either nice and calm but lets you know we're here to do work, or it ALLLLL kicks off and you're now fighting for your life. It just works, so I love the songs, it really puts me in the game, and I really appreciate it so thank you!
Oh easily. I wish we could replace the combat themes with those from the first game, while keeping the loadout selection and extraction themes. The first game was surprisingly deep in its gameplay, but it was the music that kept me coming back.
I really wish they’d release a hd1 OST dlc pack for the second game for those who’d want to replace the music with the original, from the extraction to the combat, /especially/ the combat.
I miss your compositions so much... Helldivers 2's planet combat music and ambience is nothing compared to the themes that played in the first game. Will never forget the first time me and my friend hopped into a difficulty 9 mission the first time and heard the intensity of the bugs music peaking. Of course, the extraction music and the drop music in the new game are absolutely peak- but the general combat music is so lacking in comparison... I so wish you could compose more. I'd pay if I could. 😭
the only thing hd2 ost has that works is the drop theme, the rest are incredibly lackluster compared to HD1 which in my opinion are so much better and dynamic
Thank you so much ! I wish i could give you more music ! I have some old unofficial i havent posted yet but i need to go through them and update and mix!
Oh gosh, that vibe!.. Thanks Johan for these wonderful soundtracks for my favorite coop titles - Helldivers and Magicka. I really miss music of yours in Helldivers 2, so I play it with OST from Helldivers 1 on background.
My very deep respect to you, man... I love this music, and it inspires me to do my best not only in the game, but also in my daily struggle with the depression and the sense of loneliness. It reminds me that I'm the hero I'm trying to be in the videogames, and that there's still a lot to do. Thank you so much, man.
Hey my pleasure! Thank you for listening and thank you for your comment! Means alot to me. Composing this way back then helped me with the struggles i had at the time and im happy it brings inspiration to you now! We are all heroes and yes there are still a lot to do! =)
Sweet Liberty, a more intense version of the motif for when the Helldivers are onboard the ships? This is so cool. Those are my favorite tracks from the first game and now we got this. There's so many in-game situations where this can fit that I wish it had made it in.
Thank you so much ! This was actually the first song i wrote when getting the project . I wrote it in 3 different styles , one for each faction with different instrumentation to differentiate them ! =)
I cannot believe it took me this long to find the composer of the Magicka and Helldivers OSTs. I can only imagine how amazing Helldivers 2 would have been with you in it. I mean it's good, but in those two games, what actually got me playing so much to the point of buying it for my friends and brothers was the music. It is soooooo good, Will be looking forward to your work in liquidation. Thank you for making something memorable.
Still as monumentally awesome as the first time I've heard it, and this time I didn't even have to make a soundcloud account to say so. :3 This song should've been used on missions that took place on Super Earth.
These rock! I played HD1 nonstop when I was a kid, and now I'm doing the same with the second one. Both soundtracks rock -- but the first game will forever have more impact as I grew up with this game. Love your stuff omg
On malehevelon we completed the mission and had no reinforcements left so hope of extraction was nearly gone. Me "nonsense helldiver we have the might of liberty on our side - calling in a walker - there we were just 2 in space Nam tearing through the jungle using the trees to cover our egress. Devestator rocket detonating in the canopy the deafening roar of chain gun and rocket fire explosion emenatig from our mechs, bots surrounding our back and flanks. Finally we arrived ammunition half spent - call for evac- heard over the comm feed - placing sentry - (mortars) I climb back into the mech then "incoming drop ship 3 o'clock and patrols inbound north" my buddy calls out. Thumb thumb thumb mortar fire erupts as the bots close the distance. I'll take right you left. Our chain guns roar to life small arms bounces of the hull, red streaks in our vision. 10second and ammo spent on foot now tossing nades "clear the landing zone " We'll have a fire coming in abandoning our about positions. We dive on board and the Pelican takes to the sky samples in hand. Truly a great day for democracy.
I loved the first games music so much i search for ages and couldn't really find it or at least on its own there were so many of the all combat themes videos, I just want each individual songs. I love the helldivers 2 ambiance and combat for the bots but the bugs are lacking especialy compaired to your themes
@@jlindgrenswe He definitely did an awesome job with more energetic drop in, extract themes, but many people still vastly prefer the 1st game's combat themes.
@@mr_rogersM320 Yea i know what you mean and i agree! =) Its a demo mix , but its pre sony mix so all the levels and balance between the tracks are like how i want them to be hehe not necessarily best sounding im afraid hehe ! =) In some of their mixes the balance between the instruments are not how i would have mixed them. Someday i hope i get some time to go through the old songs ! =)
Thank you for that ! I was to much of a threat to my fellow Helldivers ! (Gamepad non-compatibel player) hehe . But i really loved writing music for it! =)

The fact that there are humans on this planet that haven't heard this amazing song deals a great blow to my conscience! Outstanding creation!

@@jlindgrenswe its so good brother, i miss it so much and i still og back to the old magicka ones in my head.
@@elfolomoment yeah i gotta completely disagree, HD2 just like HD1 OST is incredible and adds so much to the gameplay. no where near to "lackluster"
Oh gosh, that vibe!.. Thanks Johan for these wonderful soundtracks for my favorite coop titles - Helldivers and Magicka. I really miss music of yours in Helldivers 2, so I play it with OST from Helldivers 1 on background.
Hey thank you so much for hanging out and listening from the beginning of my gaming music career! =)
This is absolutely the best helldivers theme I’ve heard
The build up from 4:30 onwards is just perfect
Thank you ! =)
@jlindgrenswe no my good sir.....I thank you 🙏
Dear sweet liberty I forgot how amazing this was 🤟🏼 just a rush of memories of the heroic feats we did a 100 years ago ❤
Thanks ! =)

Hey ! Thank you for listening to them ! =)
Still as monumentally awesome as the first time I've heard it, and this time I didn't even have to make a soundcloud account to say so. :3 This song should've been used on missions that took place on Super Earth.
Haha yea thanks for visitng my soundcloud! =) Thanks for your support! =)

Thank you for all your years of service!! =) i am happy you like the songs! =)
How is it possible for someone to be this talented.
haha well...haha thank you ! =)
Hey man, wanted to tell you that I love the cyborg theme you made for Helldivers 1. Good stuff!
Hey Thank you im happy you like it! =)

Danm this really should have been the main theme of the game
Thank you ! Its my personal favorite of the tracks and it is the first one i wrote when i got the project! =)
My first words were going to be "Love it!" and saw the first comment actually said that too lol....how weird!
Haha =) thanks! =)
ON THE DOUBLE!!!!
AFFIRMATIVE!!!!

Thank you ! maby some of the songs i have resently posted brings more music to the table!

Banger!
I have only one question, is there more?
Maby some old unreleased stuff .. ill do a dig someday.
@@jlindgrenswe PLEASE LET US HAVE IT! lol You already know what i'm gonna do.

How come you didn't work on the sequel?
Well i did get to pitch for it but they went with Will and i dont blame them, he did an awesome job with the Helldivers 2 soundtrack! =)
@@jlindgrenswe He definitely did an awesome job with more energetic drop in, extract themes, but many people still vastly prefer the 1st game's combat themes.
Johan... Will you pretty please remaster this?
Hey thanks for listening ! Maby some day ,i kinda like this rough demo version ! =)
@@jlindgrenswe I do too it's just the way some of the bass distorts at times. Other than that it's gold.

"Promo SM"
Man I played this game to death.. 🥹
