When u deal 215 damage and inflict burning
🤌🏿 delicious
divine
And not get stunned!
Getting Pongorma to use Bombo Genesis was always super rewarding too, since he talks about it on the airship
There's something cool about a party member you trust having some backstory with the main antagonist
@@hamppu83 Thanks, it's YungVenuz from nuclear throne (or Gun Godz) mixed with an angery emoji
@@Boamere Ah, a man of culture I see.
The backstory is
"I have been locked in this vault awaiting a worthy opponent."
"Wow."
"Fight me."
"OK lol"
"haha yeah"
@@davejohansen8603there's more before that
@@davejohansen8603 My Hylics lore is rusty but if I remember correctly, Pongo was one of the main knights for Gibby or something like that
It's so neat how this song is not only much more agressive than the rest of Hylics 2 but also uses several melodies from battle themes. It's saying like "no, Pongorma is here to kick ass. That's it." In a way dialogue or character design alone couldn't.
His walking animation helps on this too, he really goes around like clay Doomguy or something xD
Hylics is such a special project. Everything about it is so wonderful.
He's a prickly ass kicker
"fight me"
- Pongorma
00:08
"Pongorma use Lightning"
the fancy meat computer bits fit great thematically, considering pongorma's slight alignment with gibby's ideas
Alas, he became habituated to that shabby planet.
i could also see it like the fancy meat beat is a military march type thing, and it supposed to symbolize pongorma being part of gibby's forces at some point (just a headcanon)
@@chuck_salamone Very well. There is no need for verbal debate. I've bathed in the terrestrial juice.
Witness my omnipotence.
@@themetalmario77 GIBBYYYYYY!
Imo its just battle theme, pongorma is here for one thing only
POV: You're not sure what the fuck just happened but you're down about 200 health and are on fire
I like the little reference to Fancy Meat Computer, nice way of bringing back up the fact that Pongorma used to agree with Gibbys no rules mindset
Hell yeah. He has become habituated to that shabby planet...
I like to think that Pongorma used to be the strongest soldier in Gibby's army, and that's why he was sealed in the first game
0:05 "Pongorma does LIGHTNING"
0:25 That's a Big Stick
1:35 Draw a Dog
1:53 Finale
3:55 Fancy Meat Computer
i never noticed draw a dog was in there thats so cool
Hang on what do you /mean/ part of this song is Draw a Dog
@@rd_ctrlr5311 listen to it and listen to draw a dog!
@@miqslol No I did, and I can see the resemblance. My disbelief comes from the fact that Chuck turned that song into *that* part of this song
Oh god they turned the fart song into a metal riff 😭
All hail Pongorma, greatest of the dread knights of Viithorn.
I love how aggressive, yet heroic sounding this track is, perfect for Pongorma himself.
is nobody going to talk about how badass the intro is
It is indeed quite badass!
that lightning noise 🤤
you dont need too, it speaks for itself
@@chuck_salamone It genuinely gives me chills everytime i hear it
@@mftenshi_ Then you are gonna love the new music I am working on for Hylics...
[muffled sounds of gorilla violence]
"... Fight me." - Pongorma
"Alas, I've become habituated to this shabby planet." - Also Pongorma
Man knows what he's about, and how to get what he wants. A fight.
For real. He’s both cheeks on the same badass.
Wasn't Pongorma supposed to be a boss in the second game too? This would've been so perfect for it.
Definitely suits him to have a boss music
If he supose to be a boss in the second game, the reason should also be a kind of a trial like the first. I imagine something relatable to make him leave his outpost at the castle
@@kennym249 like he's testing Wayne's abilities? I suppose he'd be more like a tutorial boss then.
1:36 what enemies hear when pongorma gets to charge up
@@hamppu83 ikr? chuck successfully made draw a dog threatening somehow and it's amazing.
Once I set it to X2 speed I noticed it, what a mad lad.
Dude is rocking a final boss theme harder than the actual final boss’s theme
The kind of music that drips into the ears.
unctous and gnarly
Superfluously stylish. Satiny gratuity.
Always liked Pongorma. Kinda says something that outside of Wayne, Gibby tries reaching out to Pongorma too. Maybe his title of a badass warrior is known across the land.
Hits harder than his charge up with lightning
The 1 dislike was from Gibby
I love this song very much, I especially like the sound of the guitar! ︎ I'm glad I was born in an era when there were authors who made wonderful games and music. (I'm a Japanese who doesn't understand English, so I rely on Google Translate to write my impressions, and I hope the English text is correct.)
Of course, I love not only this song but also other songs! ︎
ありがとうございます!より多くの音楽が進行中です!
Concuerdo.
とても良い英語
Your translation was good 👌 music is understandable by all languages
imagining the Hylics 1 Pongorma walking really fast to this song is really funny to me
JUST IMAGINED IT HEHEHSJSH
Finale leitmotiv hits hard.
Gear up. You won’t be ready for when you hear it in a new context. Soon.
uh oh
Oh shit
Oh my god…
I just knew Pongorma would have the best theme.
Oof the adrenaline rush this theme gives me feels so nice! In all honesty I didn't care much for Pongorma in the first game. I couldn't really get a hold on his personality and his look wasn't inspiring to me either. Oh man did the sequel rectify that hard. His new design is awesome first of all. Additionally the details and this theme make his personality even in the first game pretty clear. Pongorma's polite and formal dialogue comes off like a loyal knight and his lightning gesture and theme really shows the aggression and fierceness a dark knight should have! A loyal well mannered person who loves fighting just to blast someone with as much gunpower as possible. Hell yeah!
Hahaha, hell yeah.
It's so rare for a party members theme to sound like an actual boss battle.
tbh deafening myself with this because my family is too loud while im doing work is so good
because honestly the OST and musican expansion for hylics 2 is fucking amazing (as is the OST for hylics 1)
this game and its music will always hold a special little place in my neurodivergent brain as "the coolest game ive ever seen". Both Mason and Chuck are inspos for me in art, and just wanting to let out all the weirdness I can during creation.
I'm happy hearing one song on Spotify lead me to this fucking amazing game
Let it out! Embrace the weird!!!
This song sounds like it’s saying “It’s a good thing this guy is on your side, because if he weren’t…”
I love how the battle theme is also included to let you know he’s ALWAYS ready to throw down.
Pongorma is basically if Zodd the Immortal somehow joined the Hawks after they beat him.
best thing abt this is that I don't think anyone expected it just appeared out of nowhere and I love it also Pongorma's theme is my fav
chuck and mason have both been talking abt it on twitter, but they released it several days early. so i guess it was a surprise at the end of the day!
@@IsisNiko oh mb then I just didn't hear abt it lol
Makes me wanna dance like Pongorma's animation in the game.
"okay chuck it's just for my silly game, you don't need to make anything too crazy"
Chuck making the soundtrack a bop AND making these absolute masterpieces: mhm
Whoops.
@@chuck_salamone
buh whu
Moonage Lobotomy is so good
I can't get over how incredibly catchy and funky this is. It's so good. I have not the words to describe it.
static generated floof lightning boy
Only the best for my man Pongorma! love it!
I had to write something that exemplified that “wrestling entrance music” vibe.
Did NOT expect to hear the melody of Finale to show up as such a sick riff here and man is that awesome
AND it’s the finale track of the EP!
Most befitting of a Knight of Yīīthorn.
God, what a banger! The distorted lightning in the beginning, the triplets at the end, all the callbacks to Finale and Fancy Meat Computer... it's so good!!
Wow, pongorma’s track hits hard. I appreciate these four themes so much.
Sounds way more primal and metal, like Rob Zombie.
Ding ding ding!
@@chuck_salamone
Nice inspiration there, works perfectly for Pongorma
And yet it uses the name of a Death Metal band.
ruclips.net/video/QL19beIJSE0/видео.html
@@ayylmao8901 honestly coincidental. I didn’t know about this band until someone pointed it out to me shortly after release.
More HYLICS content?!?!!? This is fantastic!!!
I was having such a horrible day... thank you so much for this! It definitely made my day
I really wonder what Ideal Gibby shared with Pongorma to cause Pongorma to work for him. Maybe it had something to do with "if you work for me, i will give your life real meaning" or something along those lines, since every character up until then spoke in meaningless abstract words. And since Pongorma was presumably some sort of knight, he did have some form of loyalty to him.
There is just no way to know…
Господи, вот это шедевр! Да и Понгорма - мой самый любимый персонаж из главной четвёрки.
Буду ждать третью часть!
Ничего себе меня залайкали!
Понго лучший!!
1:35 Draw a Doberman
Noticed that too. It’s weird having a goofy Hylics 1 song turned into something this heavy.
I can see Pongorma head banging this in a metal concert when he's not in the spotlight, beautiful xD
she*
oh wait fuck
ruclips.net/video/S3mih066l9w/видео.html
This exists.
This song gives me a sense of nostalgia in a very weird way. I've had a friend who was very into Hylics but I was too stubborn to get more into it and when I have gotten more into it he was gone from the internet seemingly entirely, for a reason I still don't fully understand, so Hylics alone hold a sentimental value to me. The other reason is that this music oddly enough kinda reminds me of Bionicle with it's music from the commercials and other stuff. I think both of the Hylics games and their soundtracks have squeezed more emotions out of me than any other rpg/rpg maker games. Thank you Mason and Chuck.
Love those tambourines!
I can't get enough tambourine in my compositions, honestly.
@@chuck_salamone and here ya are! Hello
You close your eyes.
And you see a bar, filled to the brim with heavies.
They bear faces - strangers within your subconsciousness as you look around.
The bartender grabs your attention, giving you something strong to rattle your senses with.
Then, as you have that first sip, a song bellows in your head with an indescribable pulse.
You recall the ideas and plans within your head, enemies that must be fought.
With every gulp, the bar feels more and more familiar to you. The faces - echoes of your bravery and insight.
You finish the glass, and look to the band playing that very same song,
And as you open your eyes...
Faces once foreign, lands once unknown, and a song that cannot be described...
Become known. Become friends. Become ideas.
And as the song continues to clear itself in your mind, you get to work.
This actually perfectly describes the gameplay of hylics (as well as the fandom)
Whole track's a blast, but that "Finale" callback at 1:53 followed immediately by the mellow, distorted reflection of space and time itself before it goes back to the initial heavy beat lifts my soul into another realm...
Also is it just me or do the guitars in this track specifically really sound like the OST to SMT: Digital Devil Saga?
i think the callback appears closer around 3:50
@@themetalmario77 Now that you pointed it out I do hear one there too
@@desolationofprog5729 the part you put was a motif of Finale, not Fancy Meat Computer
@@themetalmario77 Yeah doing a side-by-side comparison with both tracks makes it obvious to me now, thanks for pointing it out!
Yeah I got strong SMT vibes too, hope any future projects these guys do has grooves like this
this is still on my workout playlist just so one day i may cast lightning like my mans pongorma does it just gets me hype
If I could marry a song it would probably be this one
Hahaha, hell yeah. "I now pronounce you This Song and You."
I've loved this entire album but I think this takes the cake for my fave. I assumed I'd like Somsnosa's the most but in a sucker for heavier guitar stuff. Absolutely excellent.
Heavier Guitar, you say?
ruclips.net/video/W5K2Q281DH0/видео.html
The guitar motif from 1:53 and onward is sooo good
I just finished Hylics 2 the other day after being obsessed with the OST for years, and just found these the other day and they are so fantastic. I love how this really plays into the feel of the Lightning move, it was always so satisfying to use ingame, and I love how it uses elements of Fancy Meat Computer as well (my favorite track in the game). Such a good piece of art.
POV: You are about to get electrocuted
Imagine in a hypothetical scenario in which we can fight with Pongorma again and this song play
wayne and pongorma decide to spar on the airship for fun and this is the result
Yo Hylics 2 ost is pretty chill, this stands out so much while retaining the essense of the ost, i love it
I love it when the main character's leitmotif and the enemy's leitmotif combine to make an absolute banger of a fighting theme.
the section starting at 4:00 is like a fusion of "fancy meat computer" and "for whom the bell tolls" by metallica
Pongorma strives for battle & freedom in all aspects of the kaliedoscopic universe, he suceded his omnipotent powers to Wayne, whose ideals held greater strength than the feeble Gibby, & so this vial of sound finds purchase in our ears in this monolothic demonstration of Pongorma as a person
ok so i have listened to this particular track DOZENS of times since its release, and im only JUST NOW NOTICING that the Finale motif is in here as well. considering the knowledge we have now wrt As The World Begins to Wane, i think that motif might be meant to imply that this is pongorma's final stand. like obvs everybody already knows abt the 8 billion battle motifs used for this song, but I've never seen anyone mention Finale.
On that note, Chuck you sly son of a BITCH i just now ALSO noticed you snuck Draw a Dog in here as well.
Hahahahahah. Yeah, I had to. The finale motif is in there because pongorma is most likely musing about his inevitable end. His finale…and yet he is the one the brings the lives of his foes to an end in a regularly basis.
This song perfectly captures Pongorma
Can't wait for Hylics 3.
That "charge up" at the beginning is banging!
very feeting for red helmet knight.
Draw A Dog getting a cameo in this intense of a track is. mwah. chef’s kiss. art. tres magnifique
You found it!
oh my god
WHAT??? IT DOES???
@@phommonteros 1:36
OH MY *LORD*. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-
Ah, the violence-junkie of the group! Always up for a battle!
Mason has posted more music, this is truly a great time to be alive
(3:03) Is that the Draw A Dog motif? I never imagined it could sound so sick
hot damn it is. as thats my go-to “inane brain shit” song, this pleases me *greatly*
What does this mean? Can you explain.
@@Logandroid Hylics 1 had a track called "Draw A Dog", it's referenced at 1:36 and again at 3:03
Best song by moonage lobotomy!
Heavy metal clay! Perfect!
I'm assuming both you and Salamone are predominantly guitarists, but you did an excellent job with the drums on this one, they have a nice forward momentum feel to them.
Tune into the live stream tonight for a full analytical breakdown! Mason’s YT channel, 9pm eastern. All compositions are my playing/programming, aside from every second verse on each track, which I reserved for Mason. His addition of electronic instruments really flavored all of these tracks nicely, I’m so pleased with how interpreted each of these pieces!
this is the best one out of all of them. im in love with this sound!!!!
Banger
@@AlanDaniel500 TAL CUAL
The distortions at the beginning remind me of PSI thunder from earthbound/mother, keeping with the lightning theme
this one slaps the hardest
This song is so fucking baller. If I was a boss I'd want this as a theme.
My man just drop a bomin music. Made my night
pongorma is who i rely on to F shit up
Charges, sips poolwine, yeets enemy into different universe.
BTW, has anyone considered the fact that the Mania buff in Hylics 2 shows a very human heart?
This was such a pleasant surprise!! Gosh having a great morning listening to all these killer tracks 🖤
the xeno arcadia motif
Now with the recent and this music, i'm searching for lore.
Same
I think it’s also really sick to go back and compare the two
Those who seek just might find....
Holy damn, this sounds good
Heat me, oh fire tunes.
Lol at the Draw A Dog LeMotif! The original had such a nauseating uneasiness that would just sit in your gut and fill it with dread. I'm glad someone recognized it's potential as an intimidating warcry! LMAO!
holy hecc I need to toss this in my workout playlist it makes me feel ⚡ POWERFUL ⚡
this song is so damn baddas, love it
BADASS* I FREAKING HAE MY BAD SPELLING ON GOD
3:04 is that... the melody from Draw A Dog?
Hahaha, yeah.
Reminds me of a Hylics-ified version of something the actual band Bolt Thrower would make. Minus the lack of vocals, of course.
when you drive fast in your town at 3:00 AM
I sewer, Hylics 3 better have a Pongorma boss fight, this song is too good to lie waiting forever.
It could happen.
I sew the theory for Hylics 3's story talking about Wayne becoming the new Gibby after killing them.
Pongorma could by his bodyguard.
Or maybe ruler of a new line of Wayne knights.
Or maybe join our team thinking Wayne's gone too far as king of New moon or something.
Boy Hylics 3 is going to be great.
or it's just a friendly idfk
this shit is crazy !!!! i honest to god gasped when i realized Chuck snuck Finale in there- super underappreciated track i love deeply
A secret Pongorma fight woulda been so cool. Maybe make it one on one between Wayne and him for some extra difficulty.
Pongorma is my favorite character, i love his helmet, so cool !
I'm still not sure if the blue on him in the second game is just his clothing, or his actual fur and he is naked.
A name so badass it works for a warhammer gun, one of the greatest deathmetal bands of all time AND a bad ass theme for a zany rpg character. awesome
I just love your work, man.
some truly hexagonal dope
1:53 is where it gets REALLY good.
I’ve been listening to this all week!
This capture the power of Pongorma
pongorma's lightning attack always made me think of that one wkuk skit where they were singing about religion and hats
