Crypt of the Necrodancer OST - Heart of the Crypt (4-2)

Composed by Danny Baranowsky
Releases on Bandcamp at dbsoundworks.b... on April 23rd!
Coming soon to iTunes/Spotify/Everything!

*Listen.*
I found this after the game was nominated for a Steam Award for "Best Soundtrack". I thought, _Hey, maybe I should actually do the right thing and listen to each nominee._
That ultimately led me to this song. And immediately I want to say that in 34 years of video gaming, *this may be one of the best tunes from a game I have ever heard.*
Needless to say, Mr. Baranowsky, I voted for you.

Wow! That shopkeeper can effortlessly switch between infrasound and ultrasound!

After completing the first stage of Zone 4 for the first time, nobody was Prepared for this sudden Tempo change...

[@olonix4780]

Just complete Stage 2... That's sudden tempo change

[@benlee7565]

Honestly I think the worst temple change I’ve experienced is 3-2 to 3-3

Literal chills. What a masterpiece.

[@microice75]

1:59 that feeling when you survived to a hord of monsters which could kill you at every moment, then you can finish the level but you wait the music ends because it's too awesome

[@EvaSemekran]

microice75 That's exactly what I'm doing LOL

[@dielabtec7882]

[@Nin10do0014]

1-3 and 4-3 are easily the two shining poster children of Crypt's OST, but holy shit! 4-2 has such a great melody with so much texture underneath! It's easily another S+ tier in terms of music, especially when I hear something new after listening to it for the 1000th (probably accurate) time

[@DonutMaster56]

So is 5-3, which is used in the Amplified intro cutscene

[@Sibernethy]

I love how sad and gloomy the intro sounds, as if you know you're in for a rough night.

[@lazernor]

What a horrible night for a curse.

[@benlee7565]

But then you got the overclock remix... which is better imo

[@theultimateswagon]

It's like if old flash game music actually progressed as the song went on, and it's beautiful

[@BunnerTime]

Hearing this song while playing as Aria (Or at least the rock version of it) means that you've grown to her mechanics.
You're still gonna get your ass kicked though.

YES I DID IT!! I GOT PAST LEVEL ON-ded

[@purpleisthesneakiest]

The most grueling part of Aria's 4-2 is that the drums in the beginning aren't lined up with the first note of each measure. I've died an embarassing amount of times to that.

[@DuyroZeppeli]

Played Aria roughly a hundred times, but I only managed to get to 4-2 twice.

[@godlyvex5543]

But can't you just wait until after that part? You don't HAVE to move on the first beat, you know.

[@jva1032]

This really reminds me of Dialga's fight to the finish from Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky. Especially at 0:14-0:18

[@dagooncore953]

0:36-0:47 My favourte part

[@blockeontheleafeon]

Did anyone else Notice that this and Styx and Stones share the same Notes? That's pretty Interesting.

[@ratlinggull2223]

That's just because he composed both in the same scale. Nothing interesting right there.

[@lilyrichardson9530]

@@ratlinggull2223 not to be obnoxious but 4-1 starts on E, this one starts on Eb.

[@popg21-the-epic51]

Plus it has a bit of fungal funk at 0:34

[@blockeontheleafeon]

@@popg21-the-epic51 Neat. Lots of references to go around. ^^

1:16 is really similar to a part in Styx and Stones

Reminds me of Betus Blues from Super Meat Boy.

[@Mario2980]

Well that explains it, Danny Baranowsky, he also composed music in Super Meat Boy, along with The original Binding of Isaac.

[@yoshifan819]

yup, I noticed that to. then I went “hmm.. maybe someone said something about Betus Blues in the comments”... I was not disappointed

[@stibium4806]

Reminds me of Dr. Fetus' Castle. A lot.

[@ikagura]

@@Mario2980 I prefer the original ost over Rebirth's

This sounds pretty similar to the last stage of Super Meat Boy

Fussel Knolle Both soundtracks were made by the same guy

[@misterd5912]

I don't know why, but I strongly associate this section of the track (1:15 to 1:30) with the Contra music (NES). Idk.
