Wow, what an incredible experience this has been and what a privilege it was lending my voice to such an epic song! It was an absolute pleasure working with you, Kevin. I’m very proud of what we’ve made. Thank you! And a big “thank you” to everyone who’s welcomed me to the COD zombies family. It’s been an honor. -Megan Rice 💜🤘🏻
Amazing song, fantastic vocals, welcome to the family! Stay alive and kill some zombies and I hope to see you in the next song! Also the emotion in the song is god tier
THIS SONG SLAPS, like ugh that feeling of hearing her call out over and over again just makes you feel that utter desperation and when she finally does hear someone its an improbable meeting that blows her away at the sheer improbability, but as soon as it goes away the desperation grows even more to the point she's pleading for something, anything. I LOVE IT
Definitely. Personally I’m thinking this might be Samantha Maxis in the dark ether, trying to contact Requiem and eventually getting through to someone else (possibly Richthofen given the ‘are you the one from my dreams’ plus he did take over the dark ether connection branch) and the connection is cut later, with Sam possibly thinking they were afraid of her after she showcased her full powers in Cold war’s final boss.
My first listening wasn't too promising, but subsequent listening later I feel like this song is absolutely fantastic. I really love Megan Rice's vocals. I hope she gets to come back for a future collaboration.
I absolutely love this song, it fits Terminus so well and sounds like a perfect mix between Dead Flowers, Where are we Going and Always Running. We are truly back!
I will tell you this right now: This song has only been on UA-cam for 8 hours and I have listened to it easily 25+ times. I love it. It exceeded my expectations.
Blood of the Dead (2018) - Where Are We Going “Are we all blinded by fear, where do we go, how do we know” Terminus (Present) - Can You Hear Me “Say again Come in How did you know? Where did you go? How do you know my name? Are you the same one from my dream again?” Love love love how these two songs play around with the themes that each tackles. Just mixing and weaving together and I hope more people noticed this.
I’m incredibly happy to hear nit only new vocalist but also to see how kevin’s music style keeps evolving since the WAW days, while still keeping that 2000s edge that made it so iconic.
Definitely feels like a song from Sam’s pov stuck in the dark aether, sadness and longing in this one compared to her rage in something beautiful. Kevin you never misses man
my first time hearing this song i was blown away and actually almost cried a little bit. this song is literally one of the best songs zombies has now, up with not ready to die and 115
@@sneetchw I mean, even without growl the song would be really appreaciated. She's the queen of the zombies songs. Mystery don't have a single growl and it's a fricking good song!
This man Kevin Sherwood really is a legend in the CoD community. This man has single handily wrote some of the most banger and nostalgic songs of a lot of our childhoods. Thanx Kevin your appreciated. Great song !
Even without Elena Siegmann? IT so sad the CoD kinda tryes to Go without her now. She is on of the parts why that easter eggs Songs was so a big deal. 115 is still a banger today
I can't help but feel that this song is actually Samantha in the Dark Aether. It's easy to assume it's for the Terminus Crew since they're stuck on the island prison, but the sinister and ominous tone makes me think otherwise 😅
Whoever it is knows military/ police/ fire terminology I’m a firefighter and 10-9 means hard to understand. Possible static in the radio and to repeat the last traffic that was said .
Might be she was trying to reach Requiem but eventually got through to Richthofen, hence the surprise when she realised it was someone from the station, and especially later the “are you the one from my dreams” bit.
i mean, they just released a new album in 2023 (and i *think* he said somewhere in an interview that they still planned on making new music but i could be very wrong and just have read misinformation on the internet) and i also am pretty sure M. Shadows has talked about in interviews about how much he loved working with CoD and treyarch so i really dont think its impossible for them to make another song for cod.
It really brings me such joy to hear your work, all those early tracks in the WaW days set the foundation of my music taste when i was a kid, so your music reallt has a special place for me. Glad to hear more from you.
Oh boy. Kevin has for more than half my life has been creating such wonderful masterpieces since i first heard about him in WAW Zombies. The two new songs in BO6 just reaffirm my love for music and all that Kevin does and the people he works with. Megan Rice sounds amazing and I will be looking into her much more now that Ive heard her. Kevin, Please, you have inspired so much in me and many others. I hope to hear you in the future and for a very long time longer. Keep going, and keep up the amazing work!
Gonna be real, didn't care for it at first, but it's really grown on me. Has the feel of an isolated signal operator at the end of the world, protocol and professionalism giving way to emotions and desolation. Just wish there was a stronger chorus, but I get that's likely the point.
Song does a good job at portraying the feeling and message of being stuck on an overrun island. Really like it. Could also be interpreted as Sam calling from the dark aether I supposed.
This song is perfect: it recalls the the sinister environment of the map, and it has a catchy melody that becomes a fury on the last part. But above all, the lyrics and rhythm perfectly illustrate the thoughts of the protagonist who sings: Maya's brother Nathan. There are 4 distinct phases in this song, corresponding to 3 stages of the secret. These phases are reminiscent of the evolution of a serious illness, the after-effects of which are felt by Nathan through his past torture. The first phase is calm and illustrates Nathan's despair. The victim of a dehumanizing experience, he loses all bearings, agonizes in solitude and in the hope that a being, if not a deity, will free him from his torment and suffering. He continually asks the question: "Can you hear me?" followed by "Come in", as if on the lookout for a liberating love. He also wonders about the mysterious rescuers who seem to know his name. At this point, Weaver's team sets out to find Nathan. They follow the secret and eventually obtain an employee's badge followed by Nathan's location, in the biolabs. Nathan can certainly hear them from his cell. The second phase accelerates as Nathan's hope is revived. He no longer questions himself, but says "I know you can hear me". The team find Maya's brother in a compartment. They witness the horror of the scene: Nathan is in great pain. The team slip away to actively track down the cell code. The song speeds up, giving details of the prisoner's captivity: haunted by loneliness and death, he receives an energy boost when he sees the team and his sister. Nevertheless, Nathan's thoughts seem uncertain about his intentions and reveal a very tragic reality: "I need somebody there, Somebody who Cares, someone like me Somewhere. I can't let it go [...] It's all a part of me". His emotions build up to phase 3 of the song. Phase 3 marks Nathan's climax and successive decline. The team frees him and realizes it's too late. Maya's brother is an amalgam: Nathan is no more than the host of a monstrosity. His feelings are mixed in proportion to the number of heads interfering with his thoughts. This collection of brains, of contradictory thoughts, will drown Nathan's reason and drive him into madness to the relentless rhythm of the song. Love for his sister, hope for his saviors are transformed into hatred, anger and sadness. All these emotions succeed one another and become one: the character goes mad and is no longer in reality. His primal instincts take over, and he must satisfy his hunger by attacking the team of his dreams. This third phase is marked by the lyrics "Do you fear me now ?" The song takes on a demented, panic-inducing rhythm that's in total sync with Nathan's aggravating madness. You get the impression of hearing several voices, as if the parasites of the amalgam were speaking at the same time as Nathan. He insists on ordering the team to come to him, both to devour him and to help him. He repeats his loneliness and his request over and over as Weaver and his team flee and attack the creature from a distance. This frenetic sequence leads to the terminal phase of Nathan's illness, which ends with his execution. It is marked by the last few seconds when the protagonist repeats "Come in", the melody becoming heavy, resonant, suffocating. It ends with a brief "Come in", a climax with the last music note sounding like a gunshot, the one that will put an end to Nathan and the song. Thank you for taking the time to read my interpretation of this song. I think Kevin put a lot of thought into getting the right rhythm, making it adhere to the map and the first stages of the secret (which seemed to be the last according to the basic objective of this Map).
So happy to have Kevins music back. Now crossing my fingers that Elena returns and perhaps a new Avenged Sevenfold song. Even if that doesn't happen, I'm happy with this. Thanks Kevin for the many years of bangers you've given us, you are a major piece of what makes Zombies amazing.
This song’s great cause it works in two plot ways. 1: It’s someone trying to call out for rescue as the outbreak happens. 2: It’s Maxis in the Dark Aether, and her attempt to call someone (likely Grey or Weaver) caused the outbreak.
I get the appeal of Something Beautiful but this one hits so well if used right. Our group randomly activated it right during round 25 when we had all the pre-boss steps done and we were setting up for the finale. The slower pace and vibe of a constant buildup actually elevated that moment because it was exactly what we were going through. The setup before the final stand. We ended up failing that attempt but that moment was still fantastic.
i did the same exact thing and activated it randomly during the setup for the bomb/boss fight with some people from the cod discord it was so cool lmao
I know im gonna sound like a nerd, but I love how the snares, and actual drum kit itself it sounds the same as always. not patterns but the actual kit sounds like it hasnt changed since 2008. Love all your work man.
Reading the comments, I was worried that it wasn't gonna be all that great. After listening to it, I'm so glad to say that not everything new is bad. I'm super excited for more years of Kevin making music!
Liberty Falls one is quite nice but this is astonishingly good, the fact that you introduce mini "easter eggs" from other maps song is really nice, it makes it feels like it's all interconnected. Great job like always!!
I feel like that might foreshadow something later for the series. I'm more than willing to bet we see Alcatraz once more for BO6. Especially with the Forsaken's vision of things to come showing a fragment of one of the cells with the Terminus crew...
Dude you have no clue how good it is to have you back! I like amoeba as much as the next guy but you are the Artist for Zombies. Anyone who works with you seem to discover completely different sounds to themselves that they never knew they had. Megan's vocals are beyond perfect for the vibe of the map I found it on! We Are Not Worthy!
In my opinion, aside from written lyrics, Kevin's work has only gotten better and better with time. I'm saying this as someone who has literally played COD zombies since playing split screen with my dad at age 4, his work still astonishes me.
One of my favorite parts about these songs are the spacing and timing of syllables in the vocals. One of my favorites is Shockwave because of that. Love the instrumental parts too.

Your voice is wonderful! Been completely obsessed with this song and your vocals. Thanks for lending your talent to this game and welcome!
your vocals are beautiful! you did such a fantastic job
You did a damn good job and since apparently Elena has medical issues you can easily take the mantle!

The dread of being alone and longing for connection in the instrumental and the dragging of the vocals gives me a high

For real, does feel like you gotta listen multiple times to fully appreciate it
2:32 "Where are we Going?" reference
Thats what I thought but its probably just meant to be why arent you responding
@@surianna301 Knowing Treyarch, it can't be coincidental...
I absolutely love this song, it fits Terminus so well and sounds like a perfect mix between Dead Flowers, Where are we Going and Always Running. We are truly back!
I will tell you this right now: This song has only been on UA-cam for 8 hours and I have listened to it easily 25+ times. I love it. It exceeded my expectations.
Blood of the Dead (2018)
- Where Are We Going
“Are we all blinded by fear, where do we go,
how do we know”
Terminus (Present)
- Can You Hear Me
“Say again
Come in
How did you know?
Where did you go?
How do you know my name?
Are you the same one from my dream again?”
Love love love how these two songs play around with the themes that each tackles. Just mixing and weaving together and I hope more people noticed this.

God I’ve waited 4 years for more songs for you and my god it’s great to hear your work again.
Definitely feels like a song from Sam’s pov stuck in the dark aether, sadness and longing in this one compared to her rage in something beautiful. Kevin you never misses man
Bro no it fits the main crew being locked away on the island for so long wtf
@@georgelucas8815fits nathan in the easter egg too
@@georgelucas8815it can be both?? Both Sam and the main crew are trapped, alongside Nathan. It can fit all of those things at once

I'm really hyped for the return of Kevin. The new singer kills on this track, such a beautiful voice. Phenomenal song overall
silence for 4 years... then outa nowhere with a BEAST of a BANGER
This is some of your best work in years, Kevin. Thank you so much.
I think it’s cool how Kevin Sherwood knew what I was doing last night and incorporated it into the song lyrics at 2:07
😂
my first time hearing this song i was blown away and actually almost cried a little bit. this song is literally one of the best songs zombies has now, up with not ready to die and 115
Just absolutely nailed those classic Zombies vibes with both EE songs honestly
Certified banger as always.
But still, I am DYING to hear Elena again. We all are. She is still my favorite singer of all time.
Hasn't all she done in the past while was the theme for Elemental Pop?
@@subzerochopperCorrect, sadly. She miiiight be done, but I’m hoping for just one more absolute banger
Apparently she cant scream like she used to because its too damaging on her voice
@@sneetchw That's a shame if true. She never practiced proper unclean vocals to avoid that?
@@sneetchw I mean, even without growl the song would be really appreaciated. She's the queen of the zombies songs. Mystery don't have a single growl and it's a fricking good song!
I'm getting some Dead Flowers vibes from this and that rocks!
Welcome back Mr Sherwood!
Terminus gives Zetsubou vibes in general, loving it so far
Im back here to say that ive been listening to it non stop for 4 days straight, you re great as ever kevin, might be the best song of 2024
This man Kevin Sherwood really is a legend in the CoD community. This man has single handily wrote some of the most banger and nostalgic songs of a lot of our childhoods. Thanx Kevin your appreciated. Great song !

@@marsterchiff117 I am pretty sure she can’t scream like demon anymore since that can have huge effects on your vocal chords as well

Especially due to Liberty Falls hinting the S.A.M. AI is possibly actually Sam in control.

God I'm hoping that A7X will be available this year to make another zombies song. Mad Hatter and Not Ready to Die were gems.
or at least the license for one like with Nightmare in Moon

@@sketchystreet1if that’s the case hope it’s a song from the new album cause the songs from that were pretty good (nobody has gotta be a fav)

I immediately took 3:46 as a Dead Flowers reference
3:38 could also be a Stormbound reference
Pareidolia after that
Nice catch
2:33 and this is a ref to Where Are We Going, very obvious but I figured we should compile everything we catch here
Less than 24 hours and I already am craving the Spotify drop 🙏🏼 Keep these coming though so everyone can see why zombies is the GOAT !
The only thing these songs are missing are fire breakdowns.
Kevin, you’re the only part of the franchise that has never fallen short of greatness even once 🐐
this might be a first

Pure dread and loneliness as well as a longing for connection and madness. The way she drags her vocals gives me a high that I didn’t know I needed.
Same I wasn't sure but now I've activated it in game I adore it. Gonna have strong nostalgia for this in 10 years...
@@GallowWoodall the songs sound better while you’re killing zombies on its respective map
Song does a good job at portraying the feeling and message of being stuck on an overrun island. Really like it. Could also be interpreted as Sam calling from the dark aether I supposed.
It definitely has more of the overran island theme than Sam. Definitely since Sam had the last song with Lost
More stranded on an island

Thank you kevin, im looking forward to the next archangel style reunion with the new vocalists added to it, straight heaters as usual, bravo sir!!!
The man, the myth, the legend. He's back, everyone rejoice.
So happy to have Kevins music back. Now crossing my fingers that Elena returns and perhaps a new Avenged Sevenfold song. Even if that doesn't happen, I'm happy with this. Thanks Kevin for the many years of bangers you've given us, you are a major piece of what makes Zombies amazing.
in these exact words, i told my bf the same shit i was like how cool would it be to get A7X and elena back! is it too much to ask for? 😭
Those two new EE songs goes so hard, but damn man I do miss Elena and Malukah, I hope we get her for at least ONE song ❤
yea fr
There are additional vocals here by Malukah
Barely noticable but yeah
that would be perfect for a reworked zombies map
I miss the two but I think Megan did a great job!
She’s on this !
Crazy to see this happen again. With new people too. Fucking awesome.
This song’s great cause it works in two plot ways.
1: It’s someone trying to call out for rescue as the outbreak happens.
2: It’s Maxis in the Dark Aether, and her attempt to call someone (likely Grey or Weaver) caused the outbreak.
It could also mean Nathan calling out for Maya in the easter egg.
I don’t care what anyone says this is OG vibe feels
This song is the bomb 🔥🔥
These lyrics have "Samantha Maxis" written all over them. They have to be about her being trapped all these years in the Dark Aether.
💯 Good call. Zombies is so hype this year.
And she’s out for revenge cause she knows she remembers she was meant to trapped in the dark aether and she’s more powerful then she’s ever been
id wager this is richtofen
My friend activated this song before we did the mid map boss fight for the first time and it made it even more epic, thanks for the songs Kevin!
That feels like something straight out of World at War, great song Kevin!
I wish the other sfx in game didn't turn down this song to balance the audio, i enjoy this track very much listening to it in game,
yeah I don't get why it does that. Hopefully it gets changed come Season 1.
This intro sounds kinda like “Undone” from Nacht der Untoten, I was like, wait is this a remaster. But it’s an absolute banger!
Literally my same comment just know, gotta love that intro! Chills
02:38 reference to The gift(bo3) and The one(waw) lyrics, best part for me
The Return of The King
Probably best Halloween ever

100% true, also 5 seconds after you posted this comment
Can't wait for it to be on Spotify
Finally. We are getting out of Terminus with this one.
We need to find this women's brother first
Lowkey, the instrumental motifs and background guitar give me bo3 arcade vibes and I fucking LOVE that.

10-9 is police ten codes for “repeat your last transmission”
I love all the reprisals to old EE songs in this. Absolute banger
I truly believe when Kevin sits down and writes he turns into ghostrider but instead of having a motorcycle on fire it's his fuckin pen😂
the intro sounding like Undone is what does it for me
I need this on spotify
We all do!
the guitar at the start is very reminiscent of Undone! Very cool callback!
Undone II: Done
2:33 I'm getting major "Where Do We Go?" vibes from Mob with this part.
It may be a reference back to it. I get the same vibe
That melodic intro is FIRE and reminds me of Undone👏🏼👏🏼
Undone is probably inspiration for this
I know im gonna sound like a nerd, but I love how the snares, and actual drum kit itself it sounds the same as always. not patterns but the actual kit sounds like it hasnt changed since 2008. Love all your work man.
I don't think Megan Rice has done vocals for any zombies song, but got to say this is pretty amazing, definitely got to bring her back.
Reading the comments, I was worried that it wasn't gonna be all that great.
After listening to it, I'm so glad to say that not everything new is bad. I'm super excited for more years of Kevin making music!
Shit’s a banger
The “Where Are We Going” part gave me goosebumps
WELCOME BACK KEVIN! God how I missed this, coming back to BO6 Zombies with 2 absolute bangers, baby we are back
Hell yeah, hope avenged sevenfold gets a new song on BO6 too
Welcome back, Kevin! Zombies is back and better than ever.
I miss Elena so much, but a new voice is great for this new Zombies phase. Be welcome Megan!
I swear in the main menu music of multiplayer it legit sounds like elena 😳
Liberty Falls one is quite nice but this is astonishingly good, the fact that you introduce mini "easter eggs" from other maps song is really nice, it makes it feels like it's all interconnected.
Great job like always!!
please put this in Spotify
Need this on Spotify
YES
ksherwoodops never misses
Hearing this in game is sooo good. Matches the vibe of the map perfectly
2:33 reminds me of Where Are We Going from MOTD
Gives me buried vibes tbh
I feel like that might foreshadow something later for the series. I'm more than willing to bet we see Alcatraz once more for BO6. Especially with the Forsaken's vision of things to come showing a fragment of one of the cells with the Terminus crew...
I'm so happy to see you working with Malukah too!!! So many great talents. WE'RE SO BACK!!!!! 🤘💕🔥🤘💕🔥
This has callbacks to that little radio you'd knife to activate on Nacht der Untoten on CoD World at War. Kevin you are incredible man! ♥
EE songs are nothing without you. You capture the vibes so well man.
Soo good give that old school zombies vibe hard it also reminds me of one of those subnatica below zero songs
I was surprised to see new vocalists for this and liberty falls' song but they both killed it! can't wait to hear your work for the rest of the game!
It's EXACTLY the zombie atmosphere, reminds me of Buried
Dude you have no clue how good it is to have you back! I like amoeba as much as the next guy but you are the Artist for Zombies. Anyone who works with you seem to discover completely different sounds to themselves that they never knew they had. Megan's vocals are beyond perfect for the vibe of the map I found it on! We Are Not Worthy!
Don't think we didn’t notice that reprisal of Shockwave for the intro. Brilliant work.
In my opinion, aside from written lyrics, Kevin's work has only gotten better and better with time.
I'm saying this as someone who has literally played COD zombies since playing split screen with my dad at age 4, his work still astonishes me.
THEY ADDED IT TO SPOTIFY. THANK YOU!!!!
But not Apple Music? :(
@@mrvgoat1294It’s on iTunes from what I’ve heard.
Glad to see you're still making music for the games! Your work makes every map better.
return of the king, baby
One of my favorite parts about these songs are the spacing and timing of syllables in the vocals. One of my favorites is Shockwave because of that. Love the instrumental parts too.
WE ARE GETTING DR MODI WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🔊🔊🔊🔊🔥🔥🔥🔥
when on spotifyyyy
THANK YOU KEVIN SO MUCH FOR THIS MASTERPIECE❤🎉
