I feel like, in the cruelty squad OST, all the "happy" music has such a simple and aimless melody, while the music expressing negative emotions is much richer and more complex. It's like joy/happiness/etc are so *unfamiliar* to the inhabitants of Cruelty Squad's world that they can't really depict it in their art in anything but the most simplistic and hollow form. Like those early depictions of rhinocerouses by artists that had only heard descriptions of them and never saw one themselves, and so couldn't draw a very convincing/accurate depiction of one, instead drawing a cartoonish monster that only loosely resembles actual rhinocerous.
I agree. The original OST does a good job of conveying that helplessness. I smoothed over some dissonances in my arrangement of this song so it's not quite as harsh, kind of gives it a bit of a nine inch nails edge or something. Although my backyard (at the time) that I filmed the end of the song in was backed onto an industrial area and industrial waste used to get blown into my backyard whenever it was windy. Which in itself has a very cruelty squad vibe.
That guitar "riff" is brilliant. Overall, good cover. True taste of the vomit and multicolor bacteria that spews into the world of Cruelty Squad. I'm sad that there's no red or blue rubber latex suits.
@@oakie__doke This one is the 11th level, it has crushing bass and weird drums intermixed with a beautiful yet soul crushing string melody and other noise. I'm sure any track you do will be awesome 👍
The korg synth gives me the same vibes as Crypt of the Dead from Inscryption (it might actually be the same instrument used in both). Really gives it a melancholy and slow vibe which I really like!
Love it! This is my favorite because I feel like it captures the vibe of the whole game all in one song. You gave it a really good cover and captured the same vibe!
nice stuff!! The synth reminds me a bit of bladerunner for some reason, also have you checked out a game called The Indigo Parallel? It is crazy similar to CS
how/where did you get the hud elements cutout in such good quality? been trying to find one but I suck at making my own like this. great cover btw subbed
Thanks! I just ran into a wall and screen recorded and then took the wall colour out. I think i used the wall on the right in the hall in the first level
I have played this game so much I didn't even notice the frame border
Hah! It's so funny how quickly you get used to it.
took me like 4 listens before I noticed the border TwT
A fresher take on a sewage-infused soundtrack. Well done. Still capturing that strange, wistful, and menacing feeling that Cruelty Squad evokes.
Such a great soundtrack. Can’t believe Ville did it all, love when game designers do all the art/music and it turns out so good.

Thanks! If gifted one I will absolutely throw one on without question for the next cover.
@@oakie__doke What do you intend to cover next ?
@@sakkuyniron9756 On the CS discord a lot of people wanted to hear Chunkopops. Finished now just got to put together a video between depression naps.
@@oakie__doke awesome!
@@oakie__doke Where is that cover, my man? This one was so good!
Bro was stuck on Power in Misery the entire time. Skill Issue.
finally someone who gets it, tired of game reviewers who can't into experimental sounds.
YEAH
Dum dummies
i will always into experimental sounds
Don’t let people tell you to change g you are perfect the way you are.
*someone* here will never achieve a CEO mindset
I strongly disagree! Keep getting better, Oakie! ;)
Genuinely incredible. I literally have nothing else to say. This is incredible.
🙏
Now this powers my misery! It's like the Gorbino's Quest of music.
Magnificent. Those strings are insane
thank you 🙏
This song is playing in my head for most of the time
Hope thats a good thing!
This is awesome, would love to hear more Cruelty Squad covers!
Thanks a lot ! Currently working on Chunkopops, should be out this week :)
@@oakie__doke this would be perfect given Funko Pops are apparently getting into NFT
@@stingray5555 Really? haha damn. I got lazy and havent made the video for funko pops yet. Song is done though. :)
@@oakie__doke How's that going? Would like to hear your cover
RIP that idea
This is the greatest videogame ost cover i've ever seen man
Thank you so much
blacksuppositoried and debased, it would be awesome if you could do the office level theme as well!
Oooh which one is that? like the first level? Currently working on Chunkopops because people in discord were requesting that.
@@oakie__doke This one is the 11th level, it has crushing bass and weird drums intermixed with a beautiful yet soul crushing string melody and other noise. I'm sure any track you do will be awesome 👍
@@oakie__doke your discord link is expired. also can you please do rent due? its the best song in the OST
@@swagmankayearIQ Thanks Fixed! Rent Due is in the wait for sure. Chunkopop video is next up, but then I can do rent due for sure
Ah I love it. Came together so well.
Thanks for letting me take up the kitchen for a bit lol
THIS SONG GOES SO HARD
Its perfect... beyond...
The korg synth gives me the same vibes as Crypt of the Dead from Inscryption (it might actually be the same instrument used in both). Really gives it a melancholy and slow vibe which I really like!
Great song choice and great cover. This is awesome to both see and hear.
Thank you P.Haze glad you dig it
the beat drop is INSANE
this needs way more attention
I smell inscryption here as well
Fantastic work.
Serene and peaceful with the undertone of something being horribly wrong.
Peace interrupted by intrusive painful truths.
this was sick
incredible
Thanks Nick :)
Holy smokes! Reminds me of Hylics, alongside just how beautiful this sounds.
POWER IN MISERY.
great cover! you did good on this one, i loved it
Know I'm two years late, but parts of the music gives me inscryption vibes. it's good!
It's like Gorbino's quest. Gorbino's quest of my life
love the inscryption synth
Love it! This is my favorite because I feel like it captures the vibe of the whole game all in one song. You gave it a really good cover and captured the same vibe!
Ah thanks a lot. Crazy about the game, cannot get enough of it.
This is an incredible cover!!!!
Thanks Merlijn
182 subscribers? That's a crime right there, hope you grow big, man
Thanks Bro
This is amazing! Though every time I hear it, I'm always reminded of Inscryption's temple of the dead' theme.
reminds me of the mushroom music people made with mushrooms
cruelty squad is entirely contained within a mushroom
Beatiful work.I hope there will be more covers of this game (or others, of course) in the future.
9/10, Sounds too clean and sane
honestly, incredible cover. i really like ur take on the BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa part.
About time people started doing covers of this game's ost lol, love it!
mesmerizing
Excellent recreation, this games music is so fitting in its own world and even has some genuinely amazing songs.
EXTREMELY fucking good. Great work.
This is really good
Any day of my life spent working near minimum wage has this theme song
@@Vilified_Vagabond hooray!
good stuff :) CEO VIBES
On that #grindset

underrated masterpiece
This is fucking depraved and banger
That guitar part!!??? 🤯
Very nice

Thank you so much
This is really well done, you should do more of these CS covers, subbed.
so sick!! great job
I like this a lot. Nice!
Thanks P3Z!
Love that upright and the korg
Thanks Drew!
Hell yeah, sick.
Thanks William 😃
Bro did you go for that "Scandinavian Sewer Retro" vibe in your home? I hear that's all the rage in interior decorating these days!
Very cool
Thanks!
Great, now do the DEATH ending music.
Don't worry, I'll pay for your ear damage.
Very nice cover my dude.
COOL shit.
this shit's amazing. Please do Depression Nap next
Even Elsa Holmes would like this
Underrated!
Maybe we could get Wheel of Fortune next? Please? :3
@@exterminator9676 Phwoah! wheel of fortune is so demonic could definitely do that. Apartment Atrocity is really great as well though
@@exterminator9676 Okay people on discord are saying Chunkopops now..... I think that might win out
CEO Mindset
nice
Thanks! 💪
0/10, this actually made me feel peace and not a disturbing sense of unease.
@@BullofCrete I'm sorry next time I'll feed it through the meat grinder
I need hour extended version
CEO mindset
will you do sovereign citizen as well? (seaside shock theme) i really like that song
great cover btw :)
slurpcore lite
sounds like something from Minecraft lol
Also it's a great cover!
Thanks! It's definitely the most chill existential music I've heard
me at all hours
nice stuff!! The synth reminds me a bit of bladerunner for some reason, also have you checked out a game called The Indigo Parallel? It is crazy similar to CS
Oh cool I’ll check it out. Haven’t really found anything similar to cruelty squad yet
@oakiedoke2335 its similar in some ways but different in others, it basically is a really weird game
Will you make more of these? I want to hear more of the track covers
Very nice cover! You wouldn't happen to have any sheet music for the piano part would you?
I did transcribe it by ear but I can totally drop music for it soon. Currently working on the Chunkopops video which I'll make sure has music
@@oakie__doke Awesome, thanks! I'll be looking forward to that chunkopops video.
What was used for the Dynamic City-State of Japan?
Holy shit, this is so fucking good! Are those cellos that you use at the end?
Thanks! That's my double bass :)
pls do theme of archon grid
Now do bog business
how/where did you get the hud elements cutout in such good quality? been trying to find one but I suck at making my own like this. great cover btw subbed
Thanks! I just ran into a wall and screen recorded and then took the wall colour out. I think i used the wall on the right in the hall in the first level
@@oakie__doke appreciate the reply brother
0,75 speed if you have your hopes eradicated
Ooouhhra
can you please make sheet music for this
Figured it all out by ear but will gladly transcribe in the next week or so
@@oakie__doke its been a year and i still aint seen no sheet music boss
is... is ville dead?
No I was just feeling especially gooey and emotional so I dedicated the cover to him lol.
Almost as beautiful as controlled depopulation. Seriously, there’s too many of us on this planet.
Love the bass
