I love how much more confident this theme is compared to the first game's more somber piano theme. In the first game, you were very much a fish out of water, learning as you went along while just trying to rescue your son and survive the inhuman abominations you came across. But this time, both you the player, and the characters in-game know exactly what it is that they're heading into and you're both a lot more prepared to handle whatever you may come across.
When you're fed up with losing stamina from running and hacking in the first game, so you decided to bring a shotgun and a finally useful crossbow with you this time.
I've been listening to the snippets of this ost in the trailers for the past 3 years, now i can finally listen to the entire thing lol. My ears are pleased.
As a fan of the original Forest since early access I am so glad to not only see the update timer at the top of the menu but also that Gabe is back, all these tracks are bangers.
GOATED soundtrack, let us choose between this and the new one, i personally love this much more, and the old helicopter menu background was also way cooler.
This theme is perfect for this game.I love how the first 30 seconds starts like a fearless , more powerful theme that has a fight in it with the shotgun sounds and heavy drums but the slowly playing sounds in 0:31 always gives me chills.Its like the way of the theme reminding you that this island is filled with despair , danger , monstoristy and most important , lack of humanity.
The last track from the first game was like more of the horrors of the first and the situation that was placed on you to save your son while this one shows that you are more determine to survive and you are not afraid to go the extra mile to get what you came for. This track overall just sounds so epic. I could imagine if this was part of a HHN maze. And this will be the queue music.
1:05-1:40 is literally the main character slow motion, badass walking away from a pile of mutilated cannibals. He walks in slow motion towards the camera dripping in bone-armor and blood.
Damn, literally one of the best main menu sounds i have ever Heard. The cocking sound symbolises that you Are not afraid of the enemies anymore. You are ready to FIGHT DEMONS, once again.
bro the feeling when i opened this game up for the first time at 5am on a school day was fucking amazing, this music rolled and i was so fucking gassed i can't explain it. Thats the first time i was that gassed for a game in a veryyyy very long time, i hope i can relive that feeling again man
The progression from this to what we have now is perfect. You are a mercenary that perhaps specializes in demons or are used to them, as evidenced by your tattoo, and you are very well prepared for the job, everything was going to plan, you were gonna arrive to the island on time… but all that preparation went out the window the moment the pilot was shot, the only other survivor being rendered deaf and helpless. Days later you have gotten into a routine of building, exploring, and killing any cannibals or mutants you come across. Welcome to the island, we hope you enjoy your stay…
I really dig the 80s synthwave sound you gave this track. BTW if you take this same track and put it to what has been released of the remake of Metal Gear Solid from the PS1, it matches really well!
nothing got me more pumped to play Sons of the Forest than hearing this on the main menu. real ones will know this sound track. 4 full play throughs before 1.0 and I miss hearing this theme.
I miss this theme. The new one feels more attune to the atmosphere of the game, but this is peak epicness. I feel like chopping down the whole forest and conquering every cave with my shotgun. Fighting monsters the whole night, while also have my trusty Kelvin and 3-legged sexy Rambo with the most badass outfits on my side.
Proud to be one of the first alpha stage players for the Forest, and Sons of the Forest. Never realized how it would take off back then, but boy am I glad it did!
ive never loved a game franchise as much as the forest franchise. endnight has made my fav game. thank you endnight for making this franchise. i will never stop playing this game. i will play for the rest of my life. i hope you bring out a third one. Much Love
Так же из первой части у тебя появляется страх к игре , но и к этому добавляется интерес и если ты знаешь the forest ,то во 2-ой части мы увидем Тимми и 1 главного героя ❤
just marking my self even tho i havent still played this game. i played the forest with my friend it was peak. We were hyped for this game to come to console but then i sold my ps4 and he bought ps5. so even if it would come for ps we wouldnt be able to play it together
Hey Gabe Castro just want to let you know that this song is amazing, you created a masterpiece brother. Sometimes I wake up with this song in my head, ready to start my day. This is the power it has. Thank you 💪💪
He's done it yet again. Masterpiece of a game, masterpiece of a theme. Love how this plays while you're in the pause menu in-game even when playing Multiplayer.
Such a good main menu theme song. I love the difference between the original The Forest and Sons of the Forest. Someone already commented about this, but the music difference to both games hits hard. The first game you didn't know what you were getting into, and now SOTF you do. The music symbolizes that well in my opinion.
The Forest ost : You will feel sadness and depression
Sons of the Forest ost : *You are ready to become Epic and Badass*
Yes. And the fear of returning to the forest
Ready to fight demons. Stay strong comrades!
Racks Shotgun with Malicious Intent!
@@gabthehunter7774 yes! We are back cannibals! Time for y’all to run and hide 😝
Even on hard difficulty the shotgun still puts in work

Analysis appreciated
i agree, good way of viewing it
Yeah, the game is much more shooting and less running...
AND I LOVE IT ! To be honest, the first one was too much running...
reminds me of doom for some reason
When you're fed up with losing stamina from running and hacking in the first game, so you decided to bring a shotgun and a finally useful crossbow with you this time.
"It's just a forest exploration game, you don't have to go hard with the music"
Gabe Castro:
i live this song 😍
darn skippy!
Thank you for making amazing music for this amazing game series!!!!
this game is shit
The theme music sounds like a 80s horror movie
Thank Who?
@@darnellatterbury5151Oscar worthy music
Oh my God, this music completely describes this game. The Legendary Return of the Forest.
Based.
I've been listening to the snippets of this ost in the trailers for the past 3 years, now i can finally listen to the entire thing lol. My ears are pleased.
IKR
Amen
yeah from the very trailer I was so impressed and now we got the whole and it turned out incredible.
Ya I was in that boat to since that first trailer.
This sounds like the music from those cheesy 80s B movies and I love it. Fits the mood of SotF perfectly, and it’s a great synthwave song on its own!!
Reminds me of Predator
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is calling lol
@@katherinedearmond303 That and Generation Zero lol
My favorite song of the 80s))
It reminded me of Predator 1987.
I miss this old song!
Man, a lot of games are coming out with some incredible soundtracks recently.
If you’re not already aware of him, check out Mick Gordon
@@Andrew-fm8tv honestly game ost is better than 99% of the radio nowadays
@@God_of_the_cringe facts! There is only one good radio and thats Rádió 1 "csak igazi mai sláger"
true, like Ark Ascended
As a fan of the original Forest since early access I am so glad to not only see the update timer at the top of the menu but also that Gabe is back, all these tracks are bangers.
This goes unbeliveable hard man, the gun reloading sounds are the cherry on top! Absolutely amazing man
a lot better than the new one.
gabe castro is the thing that makes sons of the forest a `the forest` game
GOATED soundtrack, let us choose between this and the new one, i personally love this much more, and the old helicopter menu background was also way cooler.
That shotgun shutter sound is freaking awesome
I LOVE THAT PART!
*Chak chak*
Familiar, ancient, primal horrors delievered in a modern package. Brilliant.
The first game was 'present,' this one is in the near future
The Forest theme sounds mysterious, scary and sad
Sons of the Forest theme is literally screaming "Sup b**** I'm back for MORE"
Just started a new game with friends... man I miss this theme. It felt good to start up the game feeling like a total badass
Should've kept this in 1.0
No, the new version should play at the beginning and this version should play after completing the game.
@@metroplex29Agreed. I was just thinking about that. Kinda like Entropy: Zero 2 where after you fight the advisor the old theme plays
@@metroplex29 I prefer this one's confident mood, fits SotF better than the new one but that's just my opinion.
@@mojs0facts!
@@metroplex29 Thematically that would just fit perfectly.
Man I absolutely love your music. Greetings from Italy!
Sons of the forest theme: 🎸🥁
The forest theme: 🎻🎹

😢we may not be that lucky😢
I miss this menu theme, it always got me way more pumped to play.
Gabe, why you guys changed it this one fits perfectly
probably to keep a closer tone to the first forest, just a guess tho
People complaining about the theme not being sad and scary like in the original The Forest is my guess.
They should’ve kept this, this is way better than the new title screen music
They literally just used the music from pause menu and i dont even know how do i describe my anger
Yeah i know but still happy about 1.0 tho
this theme is INSANE. i love it so much 😍
also, the synth is giving stranger things… gabe castro for the s5 trailer music? that would be AMAZING
Best intro Song IN EVER GAmes is AWESOME
Its finally here, after all these years of waiting.
Comments cool and all BUT IS THAT A HALF LIFE PFP
@@lrenrut thats right bro
i played this game the moment it came out and now im getting ready to play it when it's 1.0 version
I would just sit 30 minutes in the menu to hear this song. It's incredible ! The mix between action music and synthwave ❤
OG Main track right here, the new one can't hold a candle to this
Why does this song hit so hard? I love every bit of it.
I have no words for how good this is! Love it!!
This theme will never be forgotten
The mix of 80s action with military themes in this instrumental is amazing.
reminds me of the predator 1987 man I loved that movie
So glad to see you working on the Second Game too! Thank you so much for your amazing work, Gabe!
This theme sounds memorable, great job, Gabe!
Rip OG SOTF theme
RIP
I bough the game at 7 p.m. But I didn't start a new game until 8 p.m. listening the main menu music. AMAZING.
Gotta be here to mark history
One of the best game themes for sure
Goosebumps. An amazing theme for an amazing game. Thank you Gabe Castro
This music is just epic!!!!!! I really want to play Sons of The Forest
It's on steam go ahead.
@@studiedturtle4139 you think it's that easy if everyone has a PC or certain requirements to play it
@@BrandonMorals I'm playing it with a $600 laptop It works fine.
@@studiedturtle4139 'only' $600
@@airpond2893 600 for a laptop laptop that can handle sons of the forest is a bargain.
The best theme to ever exist... rip
The Forest: You wish you hadn't crashed here.
Sons of The Foest: They wish you hadn't crashed here.
I like it that much that it's know my phone-call sound
Thanks, Gabe Castro for creating one of the most amazing soundtrack I ever heard
GABE HYPE LETS FUCKING GOOO!!!!!

When Sotf first came out, I found myself leaving it on the main menu listening to the music for like an hour.
this is truly the best soundtrack i have heard in 3 months
a survival horror game’s ost has no right to go this hard and yet it does
I really dig the 80s synthwave sound you gave this track.
BTW if you take this same track and put it to what has been released of the remake of Metal Gear Solid from the PS1, it matches really well!
Probably the best game soundtrack released in 10+ years this is insane. Good stuff
This music gives me a feeling you approaching a more deadlier island than the first part.
So glad gabe is still making the music for this game
Absolutely great work on the music! I fired up this game today and I remember being absolutely STUNNED when this came on... I love it so much!!!
The music in the boomboxes ingame is awesome i would like to put these tracks into my play list. Great work for this amazing game😍
Hardbass adidas 😆
nothing got me more pumped to play Sons of the Forest than hearing this on the main menu. real ones will know this sound track. 4 full play throughs before 1.0 and I miss hearing this theme.
Bring back this music to sons of the forest it is far bether than new one
That shotgun sound click click is so awesome keept me pumped up long time
This is honestly SO GOOD
The music in the game (and already in the trailers) is just great. It fits the tone and situation of / in the game and just builds on the atmosphere.
I miss this theme. The new one feels more attune to the atmosphere of the game, but this is peak epicness. I feel like chopping down the whole forest and conquering every cave with my shotgun.

Why change the music?!
because the dev suck
@@thanhtrung8753nah thats just not right
Always remember "Fight demons"
Masterpiece
gabe what is this?? THIS IS A DAMN MASTERPIECE, YOU ARE A TRUE LEGEND
ive never loved a game franchise as much as the forest franchise. endnight has made my fav game. thank you endnight for making this franchise. i will never stop playing this game. i will play for the rest of my life. i hope you bring out a third one. Much Love
Так же из первой части у тебя появляется страх к игре , но и к этому добавляется интерес и если ты знаешь the forest ,то во 2-ой части мы увидем Тимми и 1 главного героя ❤
wow, you'll never stop amazing us with your fantastic music!
just marking my self even tho i havent still played this game. i played the forest with my friend it was peak. We were hyped for this game to come to console but then i sold my ps4 and he bought ps5. so even if it would come for ps we wouldnt be able to play it together
if SotF comes to console,maybe there is a chance that the game gets Crossplay
@@HuxleyR77 i sure do hope so but ofcourse i have another friend that just bought pc so i can play with them if needed
@Random-x5m9i hey man,kinda asking,if you want another player,im free.
works with me but not 100% if i will
Ultimate "locked and loaded," "Timmy isn't messing around," "this time it's personal" moment.
This version is better then new one
I would not have expected this kind of music for something like The Forest, but I wholeheartedly welcome it. It's badass.
I’m so glad to have gabe back the first game had a awesome soundtrack
You did an amazing job on this one. Love to just leave the main menu open just to listen to this
lol same here
already nostalgic
Hey Gabe Castro just want to let you know that this song is amazing, you created a masterpiece brother. Sometimes I wake up with this song in my head, ready to start my day. This is the power it has. Thank you 💪💪
Glad to see you are still working with Endnight
And he’s back for more super high quality bangers in another romp through the woods!
I've been listening to this for a few hours now. Thanks for another banger, Gabe!
I‘m a fan of the fact that after 9 years since the release of the first part, they still committed the same composer! 🙏💯
certified forest classic
This ver is better that the new version
He's done it yet again. Masterpiece of a game, masterpiece of a theme. Love how this plays while you're in the pause menu in-game even when playing Multiplayer.
Absolutely love your sountracks my dude!! I hope you get to be part of many more games or other stuff in the future!
WOOOAAOOOoo!! Yee baby! Finally! I have been waiting for the release of both the game and your music tracks!
Perfect game
Such a good main menu theme song. I love the difference between the original The Forest and Sons of the Forest. Someone already commented about this, but the music difference to both games hits hard. The first game you didn't know what you were getting into, and now SOTF you do. The music symbolizes that well in my opinion.
i absolutely love the cocking sound!! its such a perfect addition
They should add an option to switch themes in the main menu
My favorite video game composer by far has always been Michael Wyckoff, but I think that he has competition now
They are both great
Absolutely in love with this Theme! Really feels like you're becoming "The Legend Of The Forest"
I absolutely love the 80's horror films style in this track, great job!!!
it's so awesome to hear your music again, can't wait for more tracks!
