Another awesome OST!!! Great job,Mr.Chatwood! Your tracks aways set the perfect mood in the game! I hope to see more of your work in the future. Ps: I loved the violin in the background
"The poor Miller. Thrice a victim. The seasons took his livelihood. I took his land. And, incountable years later, the comet has taken his humanity. My only regret is that I did not live to see that shoddy mill smashed to pieces by miraculous bounty reap from beyond the void."
She's actually just wondering how much these crystals would go for on the black market. "Maybe I could market them as a dietary supplement... no, maybe an exotic candy?"
Insert badass-funny-wierd name here! The look on her face is more of curiosity to me. Almost like she is studying it. Or she is just wondering what it costs. Either way. She isn’t frightened. She is curios. Anyone in there right mind would be
She's surprisingly useful, if you buff her dodge and speed. Flashpowder to drop stealth, Fortifying Vapors to get people off of deaths door, Invigorating Vapors to give a team-wide dodge boost, and Nervous Stab to clean up stuff like Sycophants.
There are two reasons to play Darkest Dungeon: 1. It's a good game. 2. The fucking music, man. Atmospheric, majestic, mystical, and yet, neither heroic, nor encouraging. Just perfect.
Of all the soundtracks for this dlcs, and even including the base game, I think it's my favorite for the feeling it carries. It make you realize the situation is indeed almost completely hopeless. You're killing ennemies again and again just for more to show up, and even if you manage to clear a full wave, it doesn't mean you're victorious: You just get to fight another day against the goons of a cosmic abomination for whom humanity is just a pest, and your elite mercenaries are barely a speck of dust in its huge eye, enough to stall it for maybe a moment, but what is a moment in that universe when the laws of time and physics are more a suggestion than the basis of the world they should be? And yet you fight, you keep pushing forward with the futile hope that you will reach the end of this madness and eliminate those aberrations that should not exist by all logic once and for all. And finally, by the end, when you pushed deep enough, the horrible truth hit you: You're not defending the human world against those anomalies. You and your men are the anomaly in this cosmic aberration.

Farmhand: Ceaseless Labor Me: "Ceaseless Labor", that's a pretty neat name for an enemy attack. Ceaseless definitely isn't the most esoteric term in this game's writing, but it is still a nice word that I don't hear too often. I wonder what other moves this monster has. Farmhand: Pause from Labor Me: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!?
They will keep tilling that cursed soil, til they completely lose their humanity and more still... No hell is worse than this limbo, the only semblance of mercy they can get lies at the end of a gun barrel, or the sharp edge of a blade.

Des années plus tard, je n'ai toujours pas les mots pour d'écrire à quels point cette musique est incroyable, a chaque note et rythme différent une émotion différente se joue, lié a tant de souvenir et de ressenti, une pur merveille.
The stars bestow many things upon this earth. Light. Beauty. The promise of dawn. But here? In this jagged realm seeping through the cracks in the walls separating comfortable mundanity from what ought to remain as naught but a lunatic's feverish delusions? Their sickly emerald refractions bring nothing but despair. Half-shattered monstrosities, alien enough to be unsettling while retaining enough of what they once were to be tragic. And the only promise they bring is of a bloodstained night without end, filled with the tortured shrieks of the damned and the broken cackling of madmen.
Actually, that kind of explains the choice of adventurers for the art. The Antiquarian's eye for baubles is valuable against enemies of a crystalline disposition. The Occultist has already communed with and discovered things from the Abyss, so who else is better to research this new threat. And who better to smash things than the Bounty Hunter (well, perhaps the Man at Arms?) . Also, can you really make that madman any crazier? Plus, the guy has stress relief to keep everyone sane.
I'LL COMPARE COLOUR CHARTS WITH YOU WHEN I'M NOT BEING STOMPED INTO THE DIRT BY ROTTING HORSE CARCASSES WITH STALACTITES GROWING OUT OF THEIR ARSEHOLES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Rando Okay honey-bun, but are you really going to wear this helmet with this plate armor ? Silver really don't go well with copper, darling. Don't be surprised that they keep bugging you; you're an offense to fashion. *Insanity in form of attire ! Madman is the one who would wear such a hellish combination of protector !* See ? Even your ancestor think that it's a bad idea, sweetie.
I feel like this is the most tragic music that you have made in the whole game. Much less dark, but much sadder, the missing piece of tragedy that you composed with incredible talent, as usual.
I think it reflects the fact that the miller and his folks were, contrarily to most of the people dealing with the Ancestor, completely innocent. They were turned into husks for nothing, while all the other somewhat ended up paying the price of their deeds and/or hedonism.
Man, I absolutely love that each track in DD has some sort of emerging heroic theme, that gets drowned by the overarching track. Like at 2:05 you can hear a new theme trying to grow, just to be destroyed by the alien "peupeupeupeu"
As much as I love the early tracks you have composed for DD, the DLC soundtrack absolutely blows it out of the water. You've gotten so much more confident with your style and I cannot imagine playing the game without your music. Glad you were brought back on board for the sequel!
Dear Stuart, I read from a game review video that you and your lawyers worked hard to release RUclips commentators from copyrights restrictions so that they could create content about DD freely. Huge respect for you and most certainly hope to continue to count on your talents in DD2!
The colors, how they dance. How they sing! A dirge of infinite possibilities! But not for us! No, it was never meant for our kind! This is for *them.* For *them* it is a promise of new experiences and life! A chance to run wild and free across the boundless fabric of existence! But for us? It is naught but the curtain call for our way of life. A keening, falsetto chorus of insanity! There is nothing for us in those blighted stars... ONLY RUIN. WE ARE DOOMED, WE ARE ALL DOOMED.
The thing I love about the Color of Madness OST is the fact that It goes from Upbeat Combat to Song of sadness really quickly down the line. That, and how out of place it is to the rest of the OSTs. Making It clear that whatever is there clearly wasn't supposed to be or stay there in the estate
This has such a unique sound compared to other games, its not just because the game itself is different but the music also, excellent job on giving us players a formidable, unique, setting.
I really like the introduction of synth- / e-guitar sound in this track, a possible symbol of the stellar, alien, futuristic (?) nature of the new threat of this DLC. Great work!
I think this is my favourite OST from Darkest Dungeon. This song has such a... severity. Powerful, yet almost melancholic. It also has this subtle, otherworldly quality - I especially appreciate that it is subtle and not the whole focus of the song. Fittingly, it feels like an endless barrage of monsters thrown your way, weathered and beaten you hope for an end, yet there is no such thing in sight... Incidentally, the song is perfect to work on an arduous task.
This ost also describes how you struggle to fight your way to the very end. Like all of your units have low hp and yet there are enemies still coming. It's just so powerful
Teal will forever be known as the true color of madness. And this song will play in my mind whenever I see or hear the word "teal". Excellent work as always, Stuart!
I rarely do this but I bought several of your songs on Itunes with "All Things Must Come" being one of them. There's something about these songs that shake me out of my apathy and embolden me to take action when I am paralyzed by fear and doubt.
For my entire life I didn't leave a single comment on RUclips, but I couldn't resist this time. Stuart, you and Jesper Kyd are my favourite composers. While everyone else are getting worse and keep copying each other, your every track is a masterpiece. I'm listening to your music since Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and I was never disappointed. Thank you for all your work.
This piece and "Dark Mitochondria" are probably the best music compositions I have ever heard in any videogame (three decades of gaming and not slowing down lol). Even when the gameplay gets boring the music still makes playing worthwile. It's amazing how well you capture the sensation of slowly going insane while valiantly trying to hold on to your withering humanity during the final epic battles. Hats of to you sir!
People like you inspired me to become composer,Keichi Okabe had final straw(and convinced me to play piano) but without you and many other composers it wouldnt be possible, thank you for your magnifiscant job
Stuart Chatwood not that I became one,yet it's my dream, I'll practice hard ln piano and later other instruments to create things,I'll have plan b job in case something goes wrong. Music is something magical to me, more i practice more i understand about it,yet i still know nothing, maybe one day i will be able to contribute to culture with my pieces of art. Do you have any tips for absolute newbie in creating music?
We’re gonna find out what our old man did _this_ time around. Anyways, this track feels much more “alien” than the other soundtracks, which is fitting. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I also hear a bit of the final dungeon’s track.
And once again the Master of one of my favorite game surprised me again with this magnificient soundtrack (I think I did over do it but who cares the soundtrack is awesome)
No wonder If you are Hollywood movie Composer ! Absolutaly falling love into ur music. Cant imagine this game without your Musics. MUSICS are beyond the best !
More arrive, foolishly seeking glorious music...in this domain, of the damned....Seriously though, all jokes aside, this is epic. There is no more fitting music to accompany Wayne June than the Legendary works of Stuart Chatwood.
i really love how this piece is composed Stuart, to me the main theme is not stress or despair but melancholy and sadness, which in itself is beautiful, but opposed to the military type percussion played it gives it an hopeful feeling of battle. It's like the Miller said "look at all my life, swept away by man time and even space, all things must come to an end" with the strings And we and our heroes put our foot in the sand with the percussion to say "true, we'll all be dust one day, but NOT today" It's honestly so fitting for its title and beautifully expressive to me :)
Despair, endless traveling, tragic loss, tireless marching, bearing the pain, resisting the madness, embracing the madness, using the madness, becoming a monster yourself. This is what i feel when i listen to this song, and i love it! Wonderfully done Mr Chatwood.
Man the heroes of darkest dungeon have a lot in common with the SCP foundation, they cannot trully break the tide of horrors, they cannot put the abominations from the deep forever to rest. All they can do is let the world continue existing just one more day. Containing the horrors, not defeating them. Securing the darkest state, not reclaiming it. Protecting those beyond its walls, but never trully keeping them safe.
This sounds and the theme by itself are ON POINT! reflects and depicts very well the confusion of facing an enemy that you dont know if its from past, present or future, between lapses, your mind drifts from battle to battle, not letting your mind rest, its never ending harass.
Agreed, Town in Chaos is superb, with many more like the Final Combat. This one is beautiful christ, just listening right now as I write. Keep it up Stuart Chatwood! I love your work.
Dear God... This is seriously AMAZING! I honestly didn't think you could make something better than "Town in Chaos" but I was sooooo wrong. That's just... Damn... You're god damn awesome!
When I first launched the Darkest Dungeon, back in early access, I instantly fell in love with the OST. I didn't expect it to get even better with future additions, but it certainly did. I hope to hear even more.
There's something about this one that brings me to the edge of tears... It's just too much for my feelings; there's hope and despair and the promise that all this will play out again, eventually.
“When the comet crashed on our world, it brought with it a new tide of horrors each radiating with the sickly colors of madness from the farthest reaches of the cosmos. It’s newfound servants till at our soil and souls, corrupting it with its influence and seeding its malicious intent. Those who were unfortunate enough to be turned had their forms twisted to a horrible parody similar to that of the agent from beyond. From the very sawmill where the fabric of reality is torn at the seams, pours out every vile creature from every nightmarish kin aided by the unholy might of their masters, to face those who dare set foot upon the sleepers ever expanding territory. It seems almost if the abomination from the void is unstoppable, unmatched by any mortal being. But they are no different. They will fall before you like those who had faced you previously. They will perish whether it be from a tip of a sharpened blade, the end of a blunderbuss, the corrosiveness of acidic concoctions, the eldritch incantations of dark deities, whatever weaponry you shall come to bear. Whatever the means may be, you shall extinguish this infestation from the stars.”
Stuart Chatwood you are a genius! Your music is a masterpiece and im proud to say you are my favourite composer alongside with Paul Romero. I just hope you'll get more fame in time that you deserve.
Amazing soundtrack, you did such a great job with this. I don't know if you knew all about the DLCs story and that made you create such emotionally accurate pieces of music that describe the story perfectly, or maybe they just told you something very plain like "hey it's about time and space being convoluted and teriffying". In any case, you hit the spot 100% on this one. Also I've just realised I've been listening to your music since I was a kid, because I played both prince of persia sands of time and warrior within, the soundtrack in there was outstanding too! thank you for creating masterpieces such as this one
This is exactly the kind of music I would imagine playing if I fought a bunch of crystal things while time and space are being distorted. Perfect job as always Stuart!
As always, thank you so much. The half of the pleasure that I get when playing DD is actually listening to your superb music. I really hope for more DLC, and for more work from you. Keep up the good work
"It was a scene from a vision of Fuseli, and over all the rest reigned that riot of luminous amorphousness, that alien and undimensioned rainbow of cryptic poison from the well-seething, feeling, lapping, reaching, scintillating, straining, and malignly bubbling in its cosmic and unrecognisable chromaticism."
This has to easily be my favorite track in the entire game. It stands apart so much from everything else just how the farmstead stands apart from the rest of the game. Truly amazing work Mr. Chatwood.
My heart is pounding with fury and sadness. My eyes are clouded with tears of sorrow. Curse you, Ancestor, curse you for all eternity. Brilliant work, Mr. Chatwood, chapeau.
I must thank you creator of this wonderful piece, I have used this and many more of your songs for study and designing purpose, and to this day I have passed all my classes amd now I am in my university faculty of arquitechture.
Systematically, the music you compose is the perfect thing to listen to in my opinion. Thank you for being the composer for Darkest Dungeon, it makes the game that much more enjoyable. This one is tied with Bloodletting of the Crimson Court for being my favorite music in the game. Keep it up man.
Simply brilliant. I thought Town in Chaos was the peak of Darkest Dungeon music, but this is the best so far. I love the dramatic/desperate motive and sad-ish choir. And percussion, my goodness. You truly are the master of all things drumming. Absoultely fantastic.
I accepted the idea that all things must end very early on in my first darkest dungeon experience... but I still find myself wishing that it just wasn't true sometimes, like when I played this song for the first time. You nailed it again Chatwood.
You could play this in an office full of 50 year old tax accountants and everyone would immediately grab their swords, pistols and axes to charge into the void. Top notch.
The Senescence Is my favorite of the new tracks, but you truly hit the comet out of the cosmic ballpark with all five new songs. Thank you for what you have made!
Darkest Dungeon is totaly unique and awesome for the narrator's voice AND for all those musics. Thanks a lot Mr. Chatwood ! Please, follow RedHook for their future project, it would not be the same without you ! Greetings from France !
And he comes up with a unique, gripping soundtrack yet again. The choir bits really got me. Darkest Dungeon's DLC releases are always the best.... Because of the new music.
Absolutely fantastic as per usual. Keep up the great work man. I honestly do not know how well the game would do if the audio wasn't as stunning as the gameplay
This one sounds strangely heroic. Like a desperate kind of heroism. Fighting against eldritch horrors beyond anyone's understanding. Hopeless. Yet continuing to fight on.
Is this how an eargasm feels like? Jesus i don´t even think they pay you enough for all the masterpieces in one game, is even harder now to pick a favorite.
Stuart, your talents shine through once again! This and Bloodletting are my absolute favorite songs in the game, red hook is so lucky to have someone like you on their team!
Every time I think you've created your best. You blow me away with another one. Well done Sir. I could not believe the gorgeous music I almost missed because my headphones weren't working.
Another awesome OST!!!

Stuart, you and Jesper Kyd are my favourite composers. While everyone else are getting worse and keep copying each other, your every track is a masterpiece. I'm listening to your music since Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and I was never disappointed.
Thank you for all your work.
Sick Skye thanks for making me your first comment!
This piece and "Dark Mitochondria" are probably the best music compositions I have ever heard in any videogame (three decades of gaming and not slowing down lol). Even when the gameplay gets boring the music still makes playing worthwile. It's amazing how well you capture the sensation of slowly going insane while valiantly trying to hold on to your withering humanity during the final epic battles. Hats of to you sir!

People like you inspired me to become composer,Keichi Okabe had final straw(and convinced me to play piano) but without you and many other composers it wouldnt be possible, thank you for your magnifiscant job
Wow. Very honored to influence people in this way.
Stuart Chatwood not that I became one,yet it's my dream, I'll practice hard ln piano and later other instruments to create things,I'll have plan b job in case something goes wrong. Music is something magical to me, more i practice more i understand about it,yet i still know nothing, maybe one day i will be able to contribute to culture with my pieces of art. Do you have any tips for absolute newbie in creating music?
We’re gonna find out what our old man did _this_ time around.
Anyways, this track feels much more “alien” than the other soundtracks, which is fitting. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I also hear a bit of the final dungeon’s track.
Sanguine And "Town in chaos", I think.
Makes sense since you effectively get thrown through "time and space", encountering enemies from the dungeons you've been through in the past
Meta4z The space between worlds is no place for mortal men.
Sanguine In time, you will know the tragic extent of my failings.
My guess is that the old guy decided to use the alien time warping crystals to rapidly age a variety of liquors.
This is the same legend that gave us the Prince of Persia soundtrack. I'm forever grateful, thank you.
And once again the Master of one of my favorite game surprised me again with this magnificient soundtrack (I think I did over do it but who cares the soundtrack is awesome)
thanks for sharing your comments!
No wonder If you are Hollywood movie Composer ! Absolutaly falling love into ur music. Cant imagine this game without your Musics. MUSICS are beyond the best !
Somehow it never occurred to me to listen to this game's ost just for the atmosphere.
More arrive, foolishly seeking glorious music...in this domain, of the damned....Seriously though, all jokes aside, this is epic. There is no more fitting music to accompany Wayne June than the Legendary works of Stuart Chatwood.
i really love how this piece is composed Stuart, to me the main theme is not stress or despair but melancholy and sadness, which in itself is beautiful, but opposed to the military type percussion played it gives it an hopeful feeling of battle.
It's like the Miller said "look at all my life, swept away by man time and even space, all things must come to an end" with the strings
And we and our heroes put our foot in the sand with the percussion to say "true, we'll all be dust one day, but NOT today"
It's honestly so fitting for its title and beautifully expressive to me :)
Despair, endless traveling, tragic loss, tireless marching, bearing the pain, resisting the madness, embracing the madness, using the madness, becoming a monster yourself.
This is what i feel when i listen to this song, and i love it!
Wonderfully done Mr Chatwood.
Man the heroes of darkest dungeon have a lot in common with the SCP foundation, they cannot trully break the tide of horrors, they cannot put the abominations from the deep forever to rest. All they can do is let the world continue existing just one more day. Containing the horrors, not defeating them. Securing the darkest state, not reclaiming it. Protecting those beyond its walls, but never trully keeping them safe.
I often come back and listen to this and just appreciate how great it is.
This sounds and the theme by itself are ON POINT! reflects and depicts very well the confusion of facing an enemy that you dont know if its from past, present or future, between lapses, your mind drifts from battle to battle, not letting your mind rest, its never ending harass.
Brilliant as always, Mr. Stuart! While I still personally prefer "Town In Chaos", this definitely takes second place and is still amazing!
Agreed, Town in Chaos is superb, with many more like the Final Combat. This one is beautiful christ, just listening right now as I write. Keep it up Stuart Chatwood! I love your work.
Dear God... This is seriously AMAZING! I honestly didn't think you could make something better than "Town in Chaos" but I was sooooo wrong. That's just... Damn... You're god damn awesome!
This is probably my favorite soundtrack in the entirety of Darkest Dungeon
When I first launched the Darkest Dungeon, back in early access, I instantly fell in love with the OST. I didn't expect it to get even better with future additions, but it certainly did. I hope to hear even more.
Stuart Chatwood, i think you're not a human, a man can't make a soundtrack like this
*"Masterfully executed!"* Another great track - darkest dungeon, hands down, has one of the best soundtracks in any game I've played!
This sounds very unusual, yet the resulting melody suits the theme nore than anything else could. Great music, as usual.
Glad you're enjoying this piece.
It is more melancholic, mysterious, and otherworldly sounding tune which differentiates it from the other themes. Good job Stuart!
There's something about this one that brings me to the edge of tears... It's just too much for my feelings; there's hope and despair and the promise that all this will play out again, eventually.
Darkest Dungeon OST is an absolute masterpiece!
“When the comet crashed on our world, it brought with it a new tide of horrors each radiating with the sickly colors of madness from the farthest reaches of the cosmos.
It’s newfound servants till at our soil and souls, corrupting it with its influence and seeding its malicious intent. Those who were unfortunate enough to be turned had their forms twisted to a horrible parody similar to that of the agent from beyond.
From the very sawmill where the fabric of reality is torn at the seams, pours out every vile creature from every nightmarish kin aided by the unholy might of their masters, to face those who dare set foot upon the sleepers ever expanding territory. It seems almost if the abomination from the void is unstoppable, unmatched by any mortal being.
But they are no different. They will fall before you like those who had faced you previously. They will perish whether it be from a tip of a sharpened blade, the end of a blunderbuss, the corrosiveness of acidic concoctions, the eldritch incantations of dark deities, whatever weaponry you shall come to bear.
Whatever the means may be, you shall extinguish this infestation from the stars.”
Stuart Chatwood you are a genius! Your music is a masterpiece and im proud to say you are my favourite composer alongside with Paul Romero. I just hope you'll get more fame in time that you deserve.
Amazing soundtrack, you did such a great job with this.
I don't know if you knew all about the DLCs story and that made you create such emotionally accurate pieces of music that describe the story perfectly, or maybe they just told you something very plain like "hey it's about time and space being convoluted and teriffying". In any case, you hit the spot 100% on this one.
Also I've just realised I've been listening to your music since I was a kid, because I played both prince of persia sands of time and warrior within, the soundtrack in there was outstanding too!
thank you for creating masterpieces such as this one
5 tracks for one DLC, each one a masterpiece. You've absolutely spoiled us this time!
This is exactly the kind of music I would imagine playing if I fought a bunch of crystal things while time and space are being distorted. Perfect job as always Stuart!
As always, thank you so much.
The half of the pleasure that I get when playing DD is actually listening to your superb music.
I really hope for more DLC, and for more work from you.
Keep up the good work
"It was a scene from a vision of Fuseli, and over all the rest reigned that riot of luminous amorphousness, that alien and undimensioned rainbow of cryptic poison from the well-seething, feeling, lapping, reaching, scintillating, straining, and malignly bubbling in its cosmic and unrecognisable chromaticism."
It's amazing that Stuart Chatwood has looked at most, if not all the comments, and responded to most of them.
It’s my pleasure to thank everyone for listening. I look forward to release more soundtracks in the future.
Those ethereal sounds... Perfect Mr. Chatwood, as always. Greetings from Italy. 🇮🇹❤️
Gabriele Riso ciao!
This has to easily be my favorite track in the entire game. It stands apart so much from everything else just how the farmstead stands apart from the rest of the game. Truly amazing work Mr. Chatwood.
One of my favourite tracks in the game as well.
May i ask if you're doing the score for the second game?
Gnome Tasty expect an announcement soon! :)
I will await the announcement with open eyes and ears!
You just keep getting better and better, don’t you?
My heart is pounding with fury and sadness.
My eyes are clouded with tears of sorrow.
Curse you, Ancestor, curse you for all eternity.
Brilliant work, Mr. Chatwood, chapeau.
This music is a brilliant confluence of skill and purpose. You've outdone yourself, dude...
Best of this DLC's OST. This is not for the Miller fight, but the sad atmosphere fits him well.
Bravo Mr Chatwood, this is amazing!Please upload the rest as well!Thank you again for making this game greater than it already was!
there is good music, there is amazing music, then there is stuart chatwood's music.
thanks for such an attractive track.
I must thank you creator of this wonderful piece, I have used this and many more of your songs for study and designing purpose, and to this day I have passed all my classes amd now I am in my university faculty of arquitechture.
Wow, thank you!
Systematically, the music you compose is the perfect thing to listen to in my opinion. Thank you for being the composer for Darkest Dungeon, it makes the game that much more enjoyable.
This one is tied with Bloodletting of the Crimson Court for being my favorite music in the game. Keep it up man.
Simply brilliant. I thought Town in Chaos was the peak of Darkest Dungeon music, but this is the best so far. I love the dramatic/desperate motive and sad-ish choir. And percussion, my goodness. You truly are the master of all things drumming. Absoultely fantastic.
I confused myself as well. I’m not sure which is my favorite anymore either.
Speaking of favorite songs, I want to thank you and Tea Party for Ocean at the End. It keeps me going for almost a year now.
I accepted the idea that all things must end very early on in my first darkest dungeon experience... but I still find myself wishing that it just wasn't true sometimes, like when I played this song for the first time. You nailed it again Chatwood.
Time has no dominion here... Damn, what a sick track, can't stop listening to it! You sir, are a genius.
You could play this in an office full of 50 year old tax accountants and everyone would immediately grab their swords, pistols and axes to charge into the void. Top notch.
The Senescence Is my favorite of the new tracks, but you truly hit the comet out of the cosmic ballpark with all five new songs. Thank you for what you have made!
Darkest Dungeon is totaly unique and awesome for the narrator's voice AND for all those musics. Thanks a lot Mr. Chatwood ! Please, follow RedHook for their future project, it would not be the same without you ! Greetings from France !
Red Hook are amazing. I look forward to working on more stuff in the future...
And he comes up with a unique, gripping soundtrack yet again. The choir bits really got me. Darkest Dungeon's DLC releases are always the best.... Because of the new music.
Absolutely fantastic as per usual. Keep up the great work man. I honestly do not know how well the game would do if the audio wasn't as stunning as the gameplay
I can't help you by nothing more but a humble thumbsup. Keep it going. You're the trully one who can show us the beauty of terror and madness.
“How can you be so sure this is real, is this not the dream of a resting god?”
Time has no dominion over your music stuart, amazing work !
This one sounds strangely heroic. Like a desperate kind of heroism. Fighting against eldritch horrors beyond anyone's understanding. Hopeless. Yet continuing to fight on.
Thank you so much for letting us listen to this! It's fantastic work as usual, right up there with Town In Chaos!
TrinityBloodFan02 these two are my favorites.
"behold..the infinte malignity..of the stars!"
Just got back into playing Darkest Dungeon again. God, I forgot how much I love the soundtrack.
This song is GodLike! Thanks a million times for composing this pure Madness and sharing it!
Is this how an eargasm feels like? Jesus i don´t even think they pay you enough for all the masterpieces in one game, is even harder now to pick a favorite.
I really like Darkest Dungeon’s soundtrack, it really makes you want to play again and again, you really know how to do masterpieces
Your a Genius Stuart , honestly it's hard to belive how good your music is
Looped, this is my favorite music for training, feels like there's no end and at some point you doubt there ever was a beginning
Stuart, your talents shine through once again! This and Bloodletting are my absolute favorite songs in the game, red hook is so lucky to have someone like you on their team!
big smoke I’m lucky to have Redhook. Those guys and gals are amazing as well!
Behold, the infinite malignity of the stars! Very well composed, definitely gives you a sense of hopelessness while lost in time and space.
You done it again. As much as I love Darkest Dungeon , the music goes on to be used during my d&d sessions.Awesome.
Every time I think you've created your best. You blow me away with another one. Well done Sir. I could not believe the gorgeous music I almost missed because my headphones weren't working.
