Terraria is such a innocent and jolly game that its somewhat morbid lore comes as a real surprise. Especially with this mod.
Agreed, base Terraria lore is wild, and Calamity cranks it up even more. Not that the lore being wild is a bad thing, it's just that most of the lore comes from outside the game.
"Innocent and jolly game" you forgetting Wall of Flesh
@@mrvoid2607 Wall of Jolly Flesh 😩
Rainbow cat sword distracts from the fact that Cthulhu murdered a dryads entire family and then some.
@@mrvoid2607 far more than just the wall of flesh
"Fighting in the sky" is a PERFECT way to describe this fight
As well as „going up and down“
Can't forget: his mentioning of a meteor descending? He has NO idea just how correct he was.

You literally described the whole Terraria's fighting procces. You basically fly up and down, because you can have wings. While fighting the enemy that attacks you, it usually also flies.

I would sell my manhood to see one
i would pay upon infinitum for this
It would be epic, no, more then epic
Calamity has a deep and complex lore so let me keep it simple.
The boss you're fighting here is Supreme Calamitas, The Brimstone Witch. The song is describing her thoughts and feelings about the state of the world.
The god of this world, Yharim, has brought chaos and destruction on it, hence the name "Calamity". You're goal is to kill him to bring peace to the world.
At the end of the fight, Calamitas expresses hope that you might be powerful enough to destroy Yharim, as she herself has lost hope.
There's a whole bunch of stuff I left for the sake of simplicity, but that's should give you an idea of what this mod is
Technically Yharim is not a god, but is an INSANELY strong king, a tyrant. He made so many fucked up things in the world just to become strong, he is such a tyrant that he knows for himself that if he should die he will be going to hell.
And because of this he tries to freeze hell
I would reckon the vocals are a third party describing calamitas and the player's thoughts and actions. a litteral greek chorus. the first section is definitely for calamitas, the second section is def for the player, and the third is a grand chorus of the state of the world.
"Who shall emerge, from the ashes of calamity?
Yharim is basically the god emperor of Warhammer 40k not actually a god but achieved such high status he basically is one
@@silverstar1614 thing is i heard something about draedon saying that we are alot like the king
and that if ANYONE can dethrone him its us
Lyrics, as posted on DM Dokuro's bandcamp
=Grief - Perspective of Calamitas=
No more holding back
They'll wish for demise
They thought they were invincible
But you could see through their hollow lies
You've seen how far they've come
How many they've slain
You will gladly tear their limbs apart
All before they start to kill again
They were seen as a threat by the moment the dragon was killed by their hand
Now you're sent to demolish the foe upon your ruler's despondent demand
Something tells you they have scaled in their power
Should they win, it shall be your final hour
But you still have control of the fight
If they mess up, you might have a chance to destroy them
But is this the right path that you've taken?
Are your morals correct, or mistaken?
Are you sure you want to lose your mind
From a legend whose power could salvage mankind?
=Lament - Perspective of the Player=
You have known for certain
Your path is one of justice
All those who try to obstruct shall have paid the ultimate price
Yet, upon inspection
Your foe is overwhelming
But you remember what she tried to sacrifice
Signs of self-disappointment start infiltrating
(These putrid emotions begin to take control)
Symptoms of paranoia begin invading
(Such petty emotions have sabotaged your soul)
Your mental fortitude is fading
Losing trust, ending friendship, and rage escalating
Right on the road to your sadness
Watching closely as courage turns into madness
Are you sure you'd want to lose your life
From a witch who had caused you nothing but strife?
=Epiphany=
The end has come;
The witch and the prophecy
Deciding fates with the world on the line
Who shall emerge
From the ashes of calamity?
How shall this fable end through these legends intertwined?
End of reasoning
Carnage and pain
A feral sense of dominance
As all the blood melts into the rain
A clash of history
In blood, sweat and tears
This war will cause our world to change
And will be remembered through the years
The part that starts with “End of reasoning” is actually repeated
I'd imagine the npcs from their houses would be the ones to sing the chorus, except for the demolitionist, the goblin tinkerer, the arms dealer and the witch doctor, the former two probably not having singing voices and the latter two not wanting to sing.
@@Solesteam except they are probably dead from all the brimstone falling from the sky
@@Solesteam I myself imagine that the souls of the world itself sings to both the fighters, you can see that the music is someone talking to both challengers, and the npcs probably don't know the Brimstone Witch Calamitas, so i presume its the world itself. And the last part of the music besides "Acceptance" is the world talking about themselves and the both challengers and their effects on the world.
I wonder how seriously the devs of the mod take the lore, considering it's just a collection of bosses in one of the most silly games out there
Terraria Calamity is the biggest mod for Terraria. It has a whole dev team working on the mod itself. Calamity is a great expansions on terraria and Stained, Brutal Calamity is the theme of Supreme Calamitas the final boss of the mod. The whole mod is a banger and the music is pretty good too. Some select tracks from Calamity go VERY hard. Most of the ost for calamity is made by DM dokuro.
_Current_ final boss, to be specific. The mod is still in development and new bosses are planned for the future.
I'll have to try it out!
It's a shame the community harassed DM dokuro enough that he quit making music for it...
@@Armameteus Agreed they intend to add another boss harder than supreme
@@zarakichin4941 Well i'm not sure if harder but exo mechs are supposed to fought around the same time as supreme calamitas so its arguable if calamitas is the final boss anymore
The Calamity mod's music is such a wild thing. The composer sadly needed to step away from the mod for his own mental health, but his work is definitely phenomenal.
For context in regards to the last part of the song, that's when the boss is basically defeated, and waits for you to bring down the final blow while giving a small monologue.
Whered the exo mechs go-
@@MikeDaShiba_GD Different composer(s)
@@Ellie-bs5zq ok, 👍🏻
@@MikeDaShiba_GD Composer is CDMusic
Actually, you spare Calamitas now.
I love how he just understood almost everything about the boss battle just from the soundtrack. He got it spot on!
:)
that's the magic of music. good music can tell stories without an actuall story
That means both dokuro was able to create a work of art that can tell you everything you need to know without words, and marco* being able to decipher it throughly.
Just goes to show how good both of them are at music.
or rather the song storytelling is good
Kind of insane really how how a mod for an indie game has such a legendary soundtrack sounding like something you'd hear In a high end jrpg. Evan more impressive the fact it was all done by one guy seriously dm dokuro is an absolute legend definitely up there with yuka kitqmura and Alex roe definitely one of the greats. It's a damn shame the the fans took him for granted. seriously though you need to check out the whole calamity soundtrack there's not a single bad song in there. They are all absolute bangers and worth a listen dm dokuro truly is the goat
Even the (4?) songs in calamity not made by dm are still very high quality, especially corrosion!
It's a real shame, he turned his back on calamity because he acted like a jerk to the devs. He apologized, but still left anyways.
@@AlexSmith-tp7xu no it was actually started with toxic fans demanding for him to make music, and for him it felt like he wasn’t making it because he wanted to, he felt like he had to. He didn’t enjoy it anymore because of toxic fans. Maybe this led to him being rude to devs, but this is the real reason he quit
@@klondikebar2849 he had am apology video and all he said was he took the devs for granted, left them on read for long periods if time, and was arrogant. So I didn't know about the rest, you're probably right, that behavior was probably caused by the fan irritation
@@AlexSmith-tp7xu mix of both i think, honestly sad to see, but best to put it behind and appreciate the gorgeous ost we were still given (late, sorry)
Marco: enjoying the entire OST
Me: *having PTSD cuz 177013 times lost to the boss*
relatable but damn, what a banger of a song
I think that they made it very easy in the latest versions. Considering how it was before... I played Calamity recently, last time before it was years ago. This time i struggled on Exo Mechs, but defeated Supreme Calamitas in first try on death+master! Could it still be the memory of fight? I don't know.
@@Disorder2312 I think the big thing was that, aside from lowering numbers across the board, boss and player side, they also got rid of her hit limit, so she no longer insta-kills if you get hit too many times
Like sans fight... Hard battle, but song hits harder
@@Disorder2312 Not really, it still lives up to the name of the actual final boss, however, you just got better and better
Its cool that he said the church bells meant salvation, because Supreme calamitas, the boss who is fought with this song, is the only boss in the game that you sort of "spare". You win the fight, but then she joins you and becomes one of the town npcs.

Even base game Terraria has music that has no business being as good as it is for such a seemingly cute game
Plantera's theme
The Otherworld OST is full of bangers.
Heavy metal Chrismas song
oh wait funni thick crab mushroom
Crimson
Fascinating that you mention ascending and descending, "flying in the sky" is how you described it. At this point in the fight (since this is a boss theme), you're being chased by very big projectiles and have to fly in slow circles for the rest of the fight to keep them from catching up to you, and the music follows that gameplay loop, you can even hear that circular motion within those parts you were describing and I think it's so cool! You can even hear the projectiles come in at 9:07, and it's incredible that even someone who has never seen the fight picked up on it. As a couple other comments already pointed out, there's lyrics and you should definitely look them up, it gives a lot more context to the actual fight. Love the video, great work as always!
Not just that, but the ascension and descension fits in a less literal sense too. As you go through the phases the boss alternates between vulnerable and invulnerable states, forcing the player to fight hard and deal as much damage as they can before they're whittled down, and retreating and trying to survive the onslaught as the boss becomes immune to damage. The whole fight becomes a pendulum oscillating in opposite directions as Calamitas and the player alternate between hunter and hunted.
Imagine my SHOCK when when I get a notification saying marco is reviewing a calamity song. The mod completely changes the game and the level of effort that went and continues to go into it is astounding, gameplay, story, and lore wise but none more so (in my opinion) than DM DOKURO's contribution to the music. The music of calamity breathes new life into the game in a way only music can and there are so many tracks worth looking at there. This is the final bosses theme and its epic composition reflects just how truly momumental the fight is. Your observation about ascending and descending is on point as jumping and flying around is a hallmark of Terraria combat. So happy you took a look at this song and I can't think of a better way to have broken up my otherwise monotonous Monday. Great job as always man, look forward to more
Yes, you'd need to try HARD to make a bad soundtrack.... or make one that sticks with people... for over 4 YEARS!!
It's my fault, I say it in a comment in other video and he said that he will listen it and when i saw the notification i was like OMG, too bro
to be honest i think calamity would be far better off as its own thing, separate from terraria.
the music and story is cool, but if we look past that and see it as just a terraria mod it's actually not that great
calamity's bosses are poorly designed, with a majority of the difficulty coming from seemingly random floating projectiles as opposed to unique attacks that align with the boss' theme like certain mods such as polarities do it
the progression, for the most part, i think is alright. some weapons and materials are quite grindy to acquire such as life alloys that just require mining or grinding the ravager over and over. i think the early-hardmode rework was very well done, though. it was very enjoyable.
the rogue class feels a little unnecessary, since a lot of thrown melee weapons such as the daybreak already fit the category of "rogue" almost perfectly. not to mention how ridiculously overpowered a lot of weapons from the class are.
calamity devs limit their own work by putting it within the boundaries of a terraria mod, which is quite a poor medium to use in order to tell a story. they have talent and it shows, i just feel like it's being used in the wrong place.
@@eater9494 Fair. I think whenever a group of people set out to create something unique (like calamity) trying to frame it within a prexisting framework its going to be inheritly limiting
@@eater9494 I manage to not really get hit in the fights all that much. Exo mechs aside (cause yeah they are just random projectiles) most of the bosses aren’t that bad.
I do have to say though, I liked the really old DoG a lot better, the one where it would spawn a second copy in at full health when it got to 30% HP, and you’d have to weaken the second one below that before killing the first, or you’d end up in an infinite loop. That made it much more about strategy and not just skill. Plus it would charge you much more aggressively then, so it felt like a real threat. Now it just sorta moves close to you and you have to make sure you don’t let it get to close. Pretty big downgrade in my mind.
fun fact: the lyrics weren't actually recorded live, they came from a virtual instrument called symphonic choirs, some sort of Text-to-Speech software to make it clearer. But I mean, song is still awesome
what. how.
@@Resetium ruclips.net/video/aI5Gg2-mhmU/видео.html
the singer is DM DOKURO himself, the choir is what wasnt recorded
oh yeah, except for that part, I forgot about it, whoops @@cade-music
What I like is that the music simulteniously talks to two persons. The choir section is meant to adress the boss (Supreme Calamitas) as her confidence becomes more and more shaken the further the fight progresses.
Meanwhile the solo singer talks to the player, trying to shake them as much as possible, while the player becomes more and more anxious to stay alive, as the fight progresses towards the end. The singer clearly tries to steal the end of the fight hype, hoping to replace it with fear of dying so close to the end.
That's actually an interesting concept since, as the player, you only get a vague idea of what calamitas may be thinking, symbolised with the harder to understand lyrics
Meanwhile the more contrasted pop singing is directed towards you as it actively tries to get your attention
@@DodgeThatAttack I'm pretty sure the choir singing was made with a synthesizer and why it's hard to follow.
i actually thought the solo singer was a representation of yharon, since the same voice is used in RotJD and yharon is supposed to eb defeated prior to this boss
You should most definitely do a stream reacting to the entire soundtrack of calamity, every single one of the songs are worth listening
Yes please
Yeah, most are worth listening
Thils The entire soundtrack is so dang good!
I wanna hear him react to Infestation.
@@titocristobal5573 don’t we all
I'm sure others could explain it better but at its core Terraria is an adventure game centred around resource management and crafting systems. You defeat bosses, take their loot, explore the massive world, and search for rare materials so you can defeat harder bosses. Also found it funny that you mentioned the idea of the chords wavering up and down as that pretty accurately describes the character's movement during boss fights, desperately flying up and down to avoid projectiles.
The Calamity mod is a modification for Terraria which adds more than double the content of the base game. Most of the music in the mod was done by DM DOKURO as a labor of love with tracks ranging from EDM to orchestral metal and even synthwave. The mod is focused on providing the player with difficult-but-rewarding encounters and stretching the game well past the base game limitations.
It’s a bullet hell with Minecraft in between
The entire Calamity mod OST is ABSURD. We have leitmotifs everywhere, lots of tracks that fit really well with the biome/fight they're put into... DM Dokuro really made something beautiful with this one.
I'd heavily recommend listening to Return to Slime, Hadopelagic Pressure, 1NF3S+@+!0N and The Devourer of Gods (Nonstop Mix). Each one wildy different, but extremely fitting.
Lovely video!
no leimotifs only motifs
@@Kkbleeblob eeeeeeh, dunno about that. there are TONS of recurrent motifs exclusively associated with bosses and places scattered through the soundtrack, and that would make them leitmotifs, as far my understanding of leitmotifs and motifs go.
@@leafyr0kr leitmotifs are motifs that appear when a character appears. most motifs in calamity appear when a character who is related to the motif appears, but not when the actual character appears (apart from their actual theme)

The best part of video game music is that there are no rules for what you are or are not allowed to do. Who said pop singing doesn't belong in an orchestral symphony‽
@@angeldude101 yea absolutely
This soundtrack is honestly so good man, DM DOKURO did such a phenomenal job with the music for the time he was a part of it. If you want some other recommendations:
-"The Devourer of Gods (Nonstop Mix)", it's a song about the same length as this, just that it's 3 or so tracks stitched together to make up one complete track, more specifically, it's the tracks "Servants of the Scourge", "Scourge of the Universe", and "Universal Collapse" put together, they're all good on their own, but I recommend the Nonstop Mix for the proper experience
-"1NF3S+@+!0N", which is just an absolute bop in particular
-"Roar of The Jungle Dragon"
-"Catastrophes before the calamity"
Adding "Storms before the Catastrophe" and the Forbidden Lullaby suite to this list. The music is just so good.
This list pretty much perfect.
Edit, just remembered the slime god theme exist
listening to infestation while farming its lootbag to sell for money is a banger
Adding Interstellar Stomper here. Its really underrated in the community.
@@fate503 there's a reason for that and that's the fact that all the other songs are better
You should totally listen to the whole ost. The insight you give on your videos is amazing and I'd love to hear what you have to say about the rest of this amazing ost!
So, side note, the choir is actually singing lyrics as well. It's just very difficult to make out without the lyrics.
Every shift in the song's tone represents a change in phase, and on the original video on DM Dokuro's channel, this is represented by the colour shifting and the name of the section of the song appearing on screen. The final section with the reverberating bells and piano is the finale of the battle, where Calamitas, the Witch of Calamity, surrenders, commits to a small monologue, and waits for you to finish her off.
Well not quite finish her off anymore, she has a change of heart about the player and instead thinks maybe you could be better than him, maybe you could be the one to end what's gone on for far too long and finally being free of what she thought was an inescapable prison joins your side to aid you in the final task.
@@desestscourge6240 in game this translates as her becoming a town npc
@@ghasterra8950 in lore she recognises the player as the "Chosen one" the one that can take down Yharim. So she joins the fight agenised Yharim
Hate to be a contrarian... but I think the chorus is actually DAW-ed in, (listen to the attacks, and how they are all similar)
I want to eventually see a version that has a real choir singing it, then it's perfect
@@OwenHa never claimed otherwise, but you're probably right. Makes sense though, not like Dokuro could afford an entire Choir for a mod song.
I did not expect this at all
Happy to see it though!
I have been waiting for it since Marco said he had recorded it during a stream
Same
I didn't expect to see this, and I didn't expect to see sans...

Something to note about the song phases:
(The choir is actually speaking in English)
Phase 1 - The choir follows Calamitas’ point of view, commenting on her thoughts and reservations/doubts about the player (and herself!) and how much of an unstoppable force they’ve become:
“You will gladly tear their limbs apart / All before they start to kill again”
“But is this the right path that you’ve taken? / Are your morals correct or mistaken?”
Phase 2 switches to the player’s point of view, while Calamitas cranks up the heat by attacking faster and summoning her brothers. Despite being a god-killing monstrosity by now, Supreme Calamitas is proving herself to be on par with, or even BETTER than you. The player begins to have doubts, and fear starts welling up in the back of their mind, that they might not make it out alive:
“Signs of self-disappointment start infiltrating / Symptoms of paranoia begin invading / Your mental fortitude is fading”
Phase 3 is when the player gets ahold of themselves and Calamitas starts to understand that she’ll seriously die if she doesn’t give this fight everything she’s got. She becomes desperate, releasing every summon and firing as many brimstone fireballs as she can muster in an attempt to kill the player. The choir is now taking note of the scale of the battle, how it’s like a war between two deities:
“End of reasoning / Carnage and pain
A feral sense of dominance / As all the blood melts into the rain
A clash of history / In blood, sweat, and tears
This war will cause our world to change / and will be remembered through the years…”
And Phase 4 is when, having put her all into the battle to no avail, Calamitas gives up, admitting her defeat.
Calamity mod is probably the most popular mod (considered by a lot of people ,,The best mod") for Terraria, which is such a great game.
This OST plays during the final boss battle which is literally agonizing (Because of the difficulty level, bullet hell), the song has 4 phases that changes during battle and it fits so well for that epic final, last fight. I really recommend listening to more songs from Calamity Mod, they are pretty awesome.
I feel like there is no best mod:
Calamity makes you feel powerful after each challenge you overcome and when you go back to an older foe you can now melt them just to show how much stronger you've become
Fargos Souls presents you insurmountable challenge after insurmountable challenge even after you've won you can go back to a recently defeated one to relive the intensity
Thorium extends on the Terraria feel making it seem like the adventure continues
Split is flashy neon eye candy enough to give your eyes diabetes.
In a good way of course.
No, the final boss isnt out yet, and his name is Yharim, The Jungle Tyrant
@@Egghead012 As of now, the sorcerer who holds the mod titles name is the final boss since as you said, the planned finale isn't out, like when Skeletron was the final blss before hard mode was a thing, and then the mechanical trio, and then Ocram, and then Golem.
not sure if it was that specific order, I'm not well versed in Terrarian history.
@@Solesteam i think that golem was ever the "final boss" of the game, as ocram existed right until moon lord got added.
(Im also not well versed it terraria history)
@@convects9656 I heard from someone pretty recently that Ocram was actually a lot weaker than Golem. That pared with the fact that his spawn items were made out of items before and somewhere in the middle of the mech tier of items makes Ocram not the final boss during the time between Golem being added and Ocram's removal.
When you liked this then you should definitely hear "Roar of the Jungle Dragon" in my opinion even better than the Calamitas theme
Same here!
When I heard the lyrics to that song, I was so hyped up.
Personally think it's slightly overrated. I'm more of an instrumental guy than a vocals guy, so I'm more for Scourge of the Universe, Unholy Insurgence and Infestation
@@mattemathias3242 the DoG nonstop mix is a permanent resident on my playlist.
@@eredkaiser DoG is my favorite boss in any video game.
Banger soundtrack, really skill based, and the sentinels build up to it really nicely.
I also have a theory that each of the sentinels represent something about the DoG: Storm Weaver represents his form, Ceaseless Void represents his endless hunger, and Signus represents his ego (not too sure about this one tho)
This song is supposed to describe the clashing of two cosmic forces. An unstoppable force meets an immovable object. This song does an amazing job.
OMG you actualy did Calamity mod. First music reaction channel ive seen dive into smthn so niche. Nice one Im sure you will enjoy them. DM Dokuro outdid himself while making them.

The choir in this song is actually singing English lyrics, although not so clearly. If you search up the lyrics you will see them describing the battle against you and the enemy and the morals of it.
No most of it is Spanish although hard to decipher. Only English part is upfront and clear.
@@amonumenttoalallyoursins1207 bruh, you are literally wrong, just google the lyrics and listen closely, what spanish are you talking about
Now all you need to listen to is to Terraria Calamity Mod's "Scourge of the Universe" and "UNIVERSAL COLLAPSE" and the most important music in the mod, Crabulon's theme "1NF3S+@+!0N"
Time for worm 🪱🪱🪱 and crab 🦀🦀🦀
my favorite is still roar of the jungle dragon
This really sucker punched me, damn.
We are just having a calamity playthrough with my friends and the music is, yes, really good ^-^
I remember when I first listened to this song... I was amazed. Then when I listened to the song a second time while staring at the lyrics? That feeling I had goes beyond words. It was as if something powerful was revealed.
So, this song plays during one of the last bosses you ever fight in the mod, at least for now. The boss herself is a witch named Calamitas and her magic is apparently strong enough to dissipate part of an ocean, and make a portion of hell unlivable. Like, actual hell full of fire, she managed to make an entire section of hell even worse.
But she didn't do these things willingly. She had been taken captive by another character from the mod, Yharim. She was essentially broken down by Yharim and used as his personal magical executioner. Eventually she gets free and runs from Yharim, trying to just ignore everything and live the rest of her life in fear. Until the player character, simply called the Terrarian in the mod, summons her to fight them. This theme then plays as Calamitas tries to kill the player, until eventually her will is broken down and you win.
The boss fight is hard but rewarding imo, and the theme changes and loops depending on what phase you're on.
The look on his face at 3:13, during that transition, is amazing-
This is one of my favorite songs for so many reasons and that transition is one of them :D
Trust us when we say that other songs part of the Calamity mod will not disappoint if you choose to review them
I absolutely gods damned agree on the classical music's evolution being in videogames. The games Fromsoftware made and their respective soundtracks are the living proof of such a sentiment, honestly. Since we're in the topic, definitely give a try to Universal Colapse. It may not be entirely classical, but it's absolutely worth listening to. Hope you enjoy it!
YES I WAITED LIKE 6 MONTHS FOR THIS! LESSSS GOOOOO! THANK YOU MAN!
A little bit of explanation is needed to fully enjoy this song however:
First of all the entire choir is made up of english lyrics (very hard to tell for me at least) that give the song much more meaning than just interpreting it as "video game choir".
The lyrics are structured in 3 different parts that seperate the song (noticable because of the major tonal shifts).
Lyrics go as follows:
-=Grief=-
No more holding back
They'll wish for demise
They thought they were invincible
But you could see through their hollow lies
You've seen how far they've come
How many they've slain
You will gladly tear their limbs apart
All before they start to kill again
They were seen as a threat by the moment the dragon was killed by their hand
Now you're sent to demolish the foe upon your ruler's despondent demand
Something tells you they have scaled in their power
Should they win, it shall be your final hour
But you still have control of the fight
If they mess up, you might have a chance to destroy them
But is this the right path that you've taken?
Are your morals correct, or mistaken?
Are you sure you want to lose your mind
From a legend whose power could salvage mankind?
-- This first chapter is written from the witches/(bosses) point of view telling how she was sent to kill the player (who was at that point already known as an absolutely manic, undefeated killing machine across the world) against her will and the doubts she has regarding whether she can defeat him/her (the player) or whether it's even the morally correct thing to do for the world at large.
-=Lament=-
You have known for certain
Your path is one of justice
All those who try to obstruct shall have paid the ultimate price
Yet, upon inspection
Your foe is overwhelming
But you remember what she tried to sacrifice
Signs of self-disappointment start infiltrating
(choir: These putrid emotions begin to take control)
Symptoms of paranoia begin invading
(choir: Such petty emotions have sabotaged your soul)
Your mental fortitude is fading
Losing trust, ending friendship, and rage escalating
Right on the road to your sadness
Watching closely as courage turns into madness
Are you sure you'd want to lose your life
From a witch who had caused you nothing but strife?
-- This second part speaks for the player. The choir starts singing of the player's path for justice, defeating powerful foes to save the world but when the singer (who is supposed to represent the player-character) kicks in the tale turns around full 180* and reveals the player's own doubts about how all the killing they'd done on their path for self-righteousness can never be justified and wears them down.
-=Epiphany=-
The end has come;
The witch and the prophecy
Deciding fates with the world on the line
Who shall emerge
From the ashes of calamity?
How shall this fable end through these legends intertwined?
End of reasoning
Carnage and pain
A feral sense of dominance
As all the blood melts into the rain
A clash of history
In blood, sweat and tears
This war will cause our world to change
And will be remembered through the years
-- This entire part is played twice. It represents the climax of the piece telling of the epic battle between the player and the witch who are currently fighting over the future of the world and their ideals.
-=The final 4th part also has a name but I forgot it and it's not listed in the original description so well...=-
This part is only the last minute or so with the trademark DMDOKURO bells (tm). I'd guess it represents the release from struggle for the witch and the players mourning for her death knowing that if he fails now going forward it will have been in vain.
(we'll just leave out the part where the witch becomes a npc after the fight ok... lore-wise she's dead at that point).
Hope this was helpful!
The last part is Acceptance I believe. The point at which she gives up, realizing she cannot kill you, so prefers to warn you of that which bound her.
I'll never understand how you can picture such a vivid picture and story while it lines up almost exactly with what usually happens when this song plays, a back and forward, up and down flying dodging and in the end a fall to the ground. A short talk, and the end.
Shout out to whoever requested Terraria Calamity music, it bangs really hard and it feels underrated because it's for an unofficial mod. This game is also an excellent stream game imo (especially with Calamity). There is a ludicrous amount of cool things to discover, many epic fights, but also a lot of downtime to build, gear up, explore, etc. It's one of those games that once you start you can't stop, it's that good.
DM Dokuro's Magnum Opus. He literally got depression after this song. I think he is still recovering.
TLDR people were asking him for this theme, like, for a long time. And they didn't stopped not even after it's realease. Other bad things happened, too (This is just an opinion of a viewer, I can't speak for him, of course)
The fans were pestering him to no end, with the final result being him pulling himself out of the project, due to how toxic people were getting. As with all good things, this was ruined by the fans.
@@MultiMelodia from what i heard, fans were sending him literal death threats so he did some things he regrets and pulled out of calamity entirely
@@arstotzka6520 such a shame that some people are such mouthbreathers that they think literal death threats have any effect whatsoever other than the exact opposite of what they want. Some people shouldn't have access to the internet.
Oh, very unique! Never even considered listening to music from _mods!_ That brings in a whole new world of possibilities.
Holy god I never thought you’d get around to Terraria, this game has such unique and incredible music.
Terraria Calamity Mod
But the Original Terraria soundtracks are still good though
@@kamelingil I meant the game as a whole, including all the mods. I know what the calamity mod is.
Calamity mod is some of the best test of friendship with you and your buddies lol. An amazing video game experience.
My friend going afk while I almost solo devourer of gods before he comes back
@@Storse i killed polterghast as summoner when my 3 friends gone afk.
That was fun
This song shifting around constantly is very reminiscing of the different "phases" of the boss fight in the game too, playing it while listening to this song makes it even better, especially that last bit where the last boss says their final words (didn't wanna spoil too much but its really amazing). Just leaving it here in case no one else mentioned it
You should definitely listen to the rest of Calamity's Ost, it's honestly beautiful and worth the listen.
11:11 ascending and descending and ascending and descending, not unlike what happens when you don't have a pair of wings that has long enough flight time for a whole 10+ minute song.
Waw didn't expect Terraria here, especially Calamity Mod. Props to DM Dokuro!
I love this song, because it aims at a different feeling than most terraria boss music, both vanilla and modded.
This track, rather than trying to get you exited or get your heart pumping at 999 bpm, it perfectly embodies the feeling a final boss in a game like this should have, which is the feeling that what you're doing is the final step to a resolution, it works especially considering it's a very important character in the lore of the mod.
calamity is love
You have no idea how much I love seeing this music being listened and reacted to. Very much some of my favorite video game music in this and roar of the jungle dragon. So glad to see someone who truly appreciates music reacting to this song.
In your Le Signora reaction video I watched recently, after you said how little real opera is used in game soundtrack, I instantly thought about this piece of music and how'd you react to it. Glad I'm not the only one, this track is definitely worth your time!
I NEVER THOUGHT YOU’D DO CALAMITY MUSIC IM SO HAPPY!
Amazing video. Your musical experience is is so satisfying to listen to when you react to some of my favorite tracks. Your ability to interpret music is really impressive and it shows how passionate you are about the medium. Bravo!
i think the best way for this to be presented in a concert hall would be the curtains open to reveal the piano and singers and stuff but stop half way and then right before the electric guitar starts they open the rest of the way to reveal a dude who looks like a classic electric guitar guy with long hair and a leather jacket and ripped jeans with sunglasses on and the drums and stuff and then they start playing.
the BELLS the DOKURO BELLS BRO
catastrophes before the calamity which is the calmer version of this was sooo nice to leave playing in the background too
What a welcome surprise! It would be absolutely stellar to see your reaction to the rest of the soundtrack. This track is just the tip of the iceberg of Calamity. Thank you for choosing this piece to react to!
This is the most out of field song i never expected you to cover, the entire calamity mod soundtrack is amazing, please check out more!
i always love it when someone can describe the boss, or the lore, or the fight correctly based on how the music plays.
really speaks to the skills of both the composer, and the listener
This is why I like your Marco, how many other music reviewer‘s will discredit it just because it’s a mod that isn’t made by the publisher, but you sat there and listen to the full thing and gave your opinion on it.
The reason why there is so much shifting in the song is because there is multiple phases of supreme calamitas
DMDokuro is so fucking talented, I'm still a bit mad the community ended up chasing him away from Calamity altogether. The mod definitely wouldn't be as popular as it is without his music being so iconic. I still get goosebumps listening to this, Yharon's theme, DoG's theme, even lesser ones like Crabulon, Plaguebringer, Polterghast still have absolute bangers
Honestly, I didn't expect my personal favorite videogame theme to be reacted, but it's really nice to see you reacting it
While DM DOKURO considers Calamity soundtrack as a great curse, the music he made for many of bosses are true works of art, into which he poured his heart and soul. All of it, as you noted, to tell a story by means available to him. Perhaps you might be interested to check more of his works in the future. Not necessarily to react to them, but perhaps just to enjoy it.
Part of the thing that you sorta caught on to is that in game, the boss fight is cut into 4 different phases and for each phase a different part of the song plays. The final section is the boss giving up and talking to you. She sits there and talks, and you're forced to just wait.
I really like that you said at the end it feels like the dust settles , and things are just falling . Ashes , lots and lots of ashes in this case . This track is the Brimstone Witch, Calamitas’ theme , and she has laid waste to many of the biomes featured in the mod - and when I say laid waste , I mean leveled pretty much . Like the biome , the brimstone crags , where the Brimstone Elemental is one of few survivors in the biome , hence the title of her track , “Left Alone” . Calamitas is so cool , and the fact that you described it so perfectly without being informed about calamity mod is so cool to me , absolutely love how in depth you went in the video , great work ! 🙏🏻
the church bell means "resignation" is the part where calamitas knows she is about to die and stops moving so the player can kill her without resistance, you literally went through the whole game to get to that moment where you have at your feet the final boss and you realize that he also has feelings and a little sanity in his mind (calamitas suffers from mental disturbance and is controlled by forbidden dark magic so in the whole fight you fight against someone corrupted by power).
he looks like jetstream sam in the thumbnail
DM Dokuro's work is probably some of my favorite part of the Calamity's mod, and while i will not go into extended detail on the comment section of a bystanders, it really pains me to see how much the community of this mods fandom really burnt him and others who spent time working on this mod, and from what i recall of the time, Stained, Brutal was written at a very, turbulant time. I highly suggest giving a listen to more of Dokuro's work, he's made some great peices
I really enjoy your videos, and I hope you find them as enjoyable to create as I do to watch. Thanks for the great stuff
I absolutely do
Dude, thank you for listening to this! This is one of my favorite pieces of music from any video game. I would love to see this preformed at a concert hall or something like that
Man now that you’ve started this, you gotta check out “Roar of the Jungle Dragon” from Calamity. There’s so many amazing songs in this mod
funny how its not even the game its a mod
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO MORE OF THIS OST! It's so damn good! It's been a favorite of mine for probably more than 4 years at this point, every track is just SO good.
i'm so glad you listened to this song. genuinely one of my favorite video game tracks of all time from one of my favorite soundtracks of all time
I haven't watched this yet obviously but...this is the most random music reaction I've seen yet (in a good way)
Your interpretation of song and what it sounds like is pretty much exactly what happens in the game while you fight the boss it's for
I didn't think Marco would review an OST such as this but I am so glad because the work that has put into this track and all the other tracks in Calamity Mod is stellar and I would be more than overjoyed to see some others from the same list reviewed. The composer for this song was DM DOKURO and I find it fascinating how many different genres and instruments were all blended together into this dynamic track and am glad to see some appreciation for DOKURO's work.
You should honestly react to the entire of the calamity OST. It's one of the most fun-to-listen-to OSTs of all time, ESPECIALLY for just being a mod for an indie game.
YOOOOOO I’ve been waiting for this!!! I’m so happy you actually took my suggestion.
People go crazy for Roar of the Jungle Deagon (understandable), but in my opinion, this is Calamity music at its peak. The combining of all these different genres and making them all come together in a way that works both in and out of the game is just brilliant. Truly a masterpiece, and shows just how much freedom you can have when writing a piece for a video game.
To follow-up on this, this is going to involve spoilers for the Calamity mod, but basically, this music is what plays during the current final boss, Supreme Calamitas (they plan to add more bosses after her, but for now, she’s the final boss). Her lore is complicated, but to put it simply, she is only fighting you because she feels like that is the only choice she has. She knows she’s fighting on the wrong side, but it’s the only thing she knows, so she fights you. The ending bit is much more somber because during that part of the fight, she isn’t fighting anymore. She knows you’re stronger than her, so she gives up and let’s you strike her down. It’s kinda sad, because truthfully, she never wanted to fight you in the fight place, but she did it anyway because it was her duty. And in the end, she doesn’t want to die, but knows it’s the only way forward for you, so she lets you finish the job.
The lyrics for that middle section, called “Grief” goes like this:
Signs of self-disappointment start infiltrating.
Symptoms of paranoia begin invading.
Your mental fortitude is fading.
Losing trust, ending friendships, and rage escalating.
Right on the road to your sadness,
Watching closely as courage turns into madness,
Are you sure you want to lose your life
From a witch who has caused you
Nothing but strife?
To me, I believe it’s speaking to Calamitas. Maybe her conscience or something telling her that she shouldn’t be fighting this fight. But honestly, it’s up to interpretation, and that’s what I like about it.
I had a passing thought earlier today about you listening to some of the Calamity Mod OST on this channel, and here we are!
I would absolutely LOVE to see more of DM Dokuro's Calamity Mod OST on this channel. There are so many amazing songs on that soundtrack that to suggest a single one is actually really difficult.
That said, if I had to point out some specifically, there are a set of songs that link together and build up to the theme of one of the final bosses of the mod; The Devourer of Gods. You can find all the themes in order on Dokuro's channel, as "The Devourer of Gods (Nonstop Mix)". Would love to see you check it out some time.
Anyway, great video as usual, keep doing what you're doing!
Just found ur channel from this vid, amazing song, amazing reaction and super acurate fight description actually. The entire DM DOKURO Calamity playlist is such a banger, definetly worth listening to more songs from the playlist called "The Tale of a Cruel World". I will for sure watch more of ur song reactions :3
He looks so spot-on with Jetstream Sam screaming in the thumbnail
LOL
Stained, Brutal Calamity is not only my favorite song from the OST, but one of my favorite songs ever
Seeing this video come out is CRAAAZY love this reaction
Man, now I really want to see you listen to the whole calamity soundtrack. Though there aren't many vocals, it's full of interesting new ideas and wildly differing music.
DM DOKURO it's a fricking genius, absolutely love his hard work and admire his talent, also I haven't think so deeply about the OST but seeing it in this way just make it better, great video :)
you should definitely do more of these!
I am so happy to have someone react to this.
This was for the longest time the musical number that played when you fought against the final boss of the Terraria Calamity Mod.
Yout hit it right on the head with a lot of your analysis. This is basicly a 5 maybe 7 stage boss fight with both intermissions of boss invulnerabillity and a part of summoning two brothers with names synnonymous of Calamity. And the ending is basicly the boss letting you finish it off, cause of... Lore
Hot damn this tipped me over the edge and I had to subscribe. I had been passively looking at some of your videos over the past week or two and enjoyed your perspective on a lot of the gaming music I consider most important to me over the years but honestly never did I expect you to get to it so soon, which of course is a very pleasant surprise.
Lmao, literally within the past day or two I remember checking in on your Halloween music stream and thinking maybe I could suggest something from this OST, but alas I joined the stream too late, but I guess it worked out.
Hope you see more of this amazing mod’s soundtrack and I’ll try to catch the next stream.
Nice to have you here ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love how the viewer can perfectly see how much you are enjoying this music.
I especially like the end of the song. It definitely has a sense of finality to it. The fight is over. But there's this sense of unease I get, like "Is it over? Is it really over?" I love how you describe the church bells as salvation though!
3:17 his expression change got me laughing
That was very amazing, as a long-time terraria and calamity mod big fan, I love watching people versed in music reacting to these amazing soundtracks that DM Dokuro created, and I'd love if you could check out some other calamity mod songs, especially Roar of the Jungle Dragon, which is also very epic!
I would definitely love to see more of the Calamity OST from you! The songs on there are phenomenal
After having hundreds of hours on this mod alone, I absolutely love how you visualized elements of the song pretty much portraying the scenario spot on, really makes us appreciate the effort put into the song even more
