The prequel to "When The Long Night Ended", "He Who Devoured The Dark" is a concept song about a character who ended the age of dark over a thousand years after the events at the end of Dark Souls 3, when the age of dark ended and the age of humanity began with a new kindled flame. This is also the reason why this song only hints at the style of music that Dark Souls has, since it is all about ushering in a new age.
" when the age of dark ended and the age of humanity began with a new kindled flame" isnt the age of dark is the age of humans ? or am i forgetting something
@@azouhakim2004 Indeed the age of dark is the end of the age of the gods that was way long prolonged by Gwyn when he lit the flame to fight against inevitable fate, which would have humanity rise from that age of dark over time. This post dark souls 3 story concept is just explaining when humanity would rise out of the dark apocalyptic phase that dark souls 3 ended on, and start to build their own sovereignty, be prosperous ect...
@@SolasComposer oh i thought by your quote that humanity rises out of the dark meaning it stops the dark and turns it into light but yeah that explains it nice music!
@@azouhakim2004 Thank you 🧡. And yeah this concept story is just about humanity lighting their own flame but just thousands of years later after Dark Souls 3 events, the apocalypse and end of the gods.
"When I was a little boy.... I used to be afraid of the dark. I don't know, I just felt like there was something in there watching me. But now? I AM the fuckin dark! And I bring the darkness with me!" - Jackie Estacado
I really love the music that starts at 0:20 and the female vocals as well. It is dark and calm, and it gives me the feeling that a gentle dark storm will consume the world; however, you find out that it isn't gentle and that it is a horrific and unpleasing storm.
Dude looks like a mix of The Penetrator, The Good Hunter and The Tarnished. Really good work on the song! It really sounds like a more dark age souls game. Yet remains gentle in a way. The world may yet contain dangers to face, but now you feel moments of peace and a more graceful purpose.

My DM used this music as a background music when we met our two first and real antagonists in our D&D campaign yesterday, I was so excited because I was the one who told him about you ! I really enjoy your work a lot 😳😳
this is so good! I've never seen any of your other works but this alone makes me very very curious, for once I'm happy with what RUclips recommended to me.
This is one of the coolest channels on RUclips glad I found it. Incredible composition and orchestration as well as perfect mix and master. Long live vgm and soundtracks!
Thank you so much 🧡, lots more in this style to come, I recommend my song called "When The Long Night Ended" and "Throes Of Ascension" for a similar style. Definitely lots more to come in this format as well, working on another in this area right now as I send this. 😂
This is crazy good, Idk if you'll like the comparison but this sounds like the perfect mix between Dragon Age Origins - The Witcher and Divinity 2 soundtrack. Absolutely phenomenal.
@@SolasComposer You should check out the main soundtrack of Dragon Age Origins by Inon Zur, especially the Menu soundtrack, I am the One and Leliana's Song, lovely stuff and kinda in line with your amazing song. Also Divinity meaning Original Sin but mainly Divinity 2 Dragon Knight Saga.
Always love myself more Dark Souls content. And as the fire keeper said, even through the dark, the flickering of embers are to be noticed. A new fire perhaps. Kinda like the community itself, the age of fire(the release of games) has ended, we are in an age of Dark, yet the hint of new embers emerging grow ever bright(new content that people make, or games like elden ring)
Really glad you appreciate it 🧡. You should check out "Dark Souls Archthrones", if you haven't yet it's an upcoming Dark Souls 3 mod that looks completely transformative.
Thank you 🧡, it's actually very different to the game's music, but it's inspired by a new age after the game's time period is long over, so makes sense in a way.
During the dark days of death, when the corpses of the hunted beasts started to rise and hunt us, a hunter stood up to fight the source or the infecction: the dark dragon of the plage. He fought with his adamant spirit and gigantic blade, taking the live of the demon after a hunt that lasted days. After his victory, the legendary sun hunter was known as...
when the ensemble cast realizes that even with the power of team work, the villain was only kinda half trying and is now having an internal backstory/dialogue justifying his actions
This music honestly is helping me with my book. It feels like the theme for the villain in my book. If I make a show of said book I would love this song in it.
@@SolasComposer Bless your wonderful work! It sings to my heart, plays on the very strings of my heart u.u (I'm a diehard Souls OST fan as well, so no wonder VwV)
The man garbed in black armour stood tall on the battlefield, his two crimson blades glinting in the sunlight. His enemies trembled in fear as they stared into his cold, emotionless eyes, which seemed to hold a dark and ancient power. The air around him seemed to grow colder as he began to move, his armour clanking with each step. The ground beneath his feet cracked and withered, as if in fear of his presence. His enemies could feel their own strength draining away as if the very life force was being sucked out of them. With a fierce battle cry, the man lunged forward, his blades slicing through the air with deadly precision. His enemies fought back with all their might, but it was no use. The man's armour absorbed their attacks, and with each strike of his blades, he devoured their strength, leaving them weak and helpless before him. The battle was intense, and the ground was littered with the bodies of the fallen. But the man in black armour emerged victorious, his blades dripping with the blood of his enemies. His eyes seemed to blaze with an unquenchable hunger as he walked among the dead as if searching for more to feed on. As he stood victorious, the man let out a sinister, guttural laugh that chilled the bones of all who heard it. He could feel the strength of his enemies coursing through his veins, making him stronger and more powerful than ever before. With a final glance at the carnage he had wrought, the man turned and disappeared into the darkness, his blades still glowing with the power of his defeated foes. His enemies knew that they would never be safe as long as he was still out there, hunting for more to feed on.
He who fought but never won the wars... but allways won the battles... for a blade that sliced armys is a thing to fear... but the drawback is allways lost... and finally won the battle to usher the demolished flame into oblivion...
"The road? Oh, they say it's noticeably empty, both from the carrion and from the traders. There are tales that say: "a man engulfed in darkness" walked there, but I don't believe in it, neither in him nor in these tales." "Who is this "man consumed by darkness"? I don't know, I give beer to drunks but I'm not obliged to listen to their brandy" "And you want to know about "The Man Consumed by Darkness, huh?" Well, sit down. "There was a man named Pan Jan of Bremen, a noble knight with a big soul, and once returning from a campaign, his detachment along with him was waylaid by mercenaries hired by Pan Johan of Saxony, and the mercenaries had the advantage in numbers, but none of them returned, as did Pan Jan's retinue, however, when they went to look for Pan's body, his body was not found, and the only traces leading from there to there led to the Altar. The WITCH'S Altar! There was no body of Pan Jan there, but there were bodies of witches, and they were all killed with swords, one of them was definitely Pan Yan's"
Maybe because I just finished playing it but reminds me more of God of War Ragnarock then it does Dark Souls. Would love it if you made some music inspired by that.

Yeah, the vocals start at 2:00. I was talking about the instrument that started at 0:20.
Sorry about the confusion, English isn't my language.
@@SolasComposer Do you have a recommended Tagelharpa musician, almost all of the examples I found is quite slow in comparison to your style.
This sounds like an OST for a Villian in a D&D campaign, one who is always following the party and appearing to fight them at the worst possible times
Recommend through spotify, what a BANGER
Ashen one leaves with the little dark age, leading the bearer of the curse and the chosen undead.
This is INCREDIBLE music. I hope you blow up in popularity during 2023, you deserve it!
