This is from KI Central talking about Mick's Tweet about Spinal's theme! Fact One: Spinal’s new theme was a global effort that combined the talents of twenty people across five countries over three months. Fact Two: The “Spinal Choir” consisted of thirteen men singing in Swedish in Gothenburg. The lyrics were written by Mick Gordon and Pontus Rufelt. Fact Three: The choir is pretending to be warriors who are attempting to summon Spinal to aid them in a foreboding battle. Fact Four: The brass for Spinal was recorded and arranged by Hugh Davies in Guildford, UK. Fact Five: The “horn” sound you hear over the ‘Ready’ text is the sound of a Tibetan Kangling, a human leg bone flute.
This character use to scare me when I was a child. I use to HATE skeletons when I was young and my brother would always use him against me. Though my god did they capture him so well in this game. This music is fantastic too, I love that they kept the old bone noises from the first one in there.
Sadly these days, I feel like kids have become so use to realistic and pretty visuals that I don't know if they even would be entirely scared of spinal. I mean he was a pile of pixels back when we were kids but those were like.. The hot graphics. Though I'm sure there are some more sheltered children out there that may actually be pretty freaked out for sure. xD
It's kinda hard to hear some parts but here's the best i got for you guys. Born by the first. Warrior. Emperor. Ruler. Body of bones. No heart. Baptised in blood. Soulless. Lifeless.(3x) Evil demon. The hero of the people. A homeless god. Is resting here. Body of bones. No heart. Baptised in blood. Soulless. Lifeless. The forest is crashing, the village is on the run, the enemy is burning our lands. Shaking their swords and hitting their sheilds, ready to slay us all. We pray to you Spinal, leave your body, become our chieftain and grab your weapon. Grant us your strength during this battle. Wake up, wake up, mighty god. Fate is falling, over our land, the winds are blowing, the ground is shaking. The enemy is gathering around our kingdom, ready to crush us. Warriors gather around holy grave, calling for Spinal, the God of war. Help we need during this battle. Save us, save us, mighty god. Stand! Stand! Stand! The forest is crashing, the village is on the run, the enemy is burning our lands. Shaking their swords and hitting their sheilds, ready to slay us all. We eat our mushrooms to gather the strength from ??? Grab your axes, chainmail and helmets. The powers of the god, Spinal we receive. Victory, victory, victory is ours. The people are screaming for our help, Spinal wakes up, leaving his grave. With a mighty shout he gather his troops, ready to fight for us all.

UP... NOW! SPINAL! SPINAL! SPINAL! SPI-NAL! SPI-NAL! RISE! KILL... THEM... ALL SPINAL! SPINAL! SPINAL! SPI-NAL!
Wanna add a bit to that. In between the first and second verses, they're saying "slåss" which means "Fight". So after the intro, I'd put that in there.
Sadly, I cannot. I'm incapable of anything regarding Swedish. The only reason I knew that particular word was because I recalled it being written on Mick's Instagram when he teased that particular section. And I'm certain he wouldn't do that at random, especially not in Swedish.
+Otakahunt Well i'm swedish so there shouldn't be any problem. Again though, It's kinda hard to hear a couple of words. Född av furste. Krigare. Kejsare. Härskare. Kropp av ben. Inget hjärta. Döpt i blod. Själlös. Livlös. (x3) Ond demon. Folkets hjälte. Hemlös gud. Vilar här Kropp av ben. Inget hjärta. Döpt i blod. Själlös. Livlös. Skogen den brakar, boskap på flykt, fienden bränner våra marker. Rasslar med svärd och slår på sköldar, redo att dräpa oss nu. Vi ber till dig spinal, lämna din kropp, bli våran hövding ta till vapnet. Skänk oss din styrka vid denna strid. Vakna vakna, mäktiga gud. Ödet det faller, över vårt land, vindarna viner, marken skakar. Fienden samlas runt vårt rike, redo att kuva oss nu.

Lämnar graven. Med kraftigt tjut, han samlar trupper redo att slåss för oss nu Vi ber till dig spinal, lämna din kropp, bli våran hövding ta till vapnet. Skänk oss din styrka i denna strid.

This is damn epic. I tought for years how could look a game like KI with modern graphics and concepts, but I never imagined Spinal looking so badass and with swedish choirs screaming his name. DH really did a great job, it is so sad that they must leave this project to others.
I first heard this when I was in upper secondary school and loved it, I'm from Sweden so ofc it was fun to hear your language in a song I actually like (Sadly I find most of swedish music bad), but at the time I didn't know that it was Mick Gordon who did it. Years later I hear the DOOM soundtrack and fell in love with all of it instantly... AND NOW... even more years later I remember this song and go back to listen... And I find out that Mick Gordon made this as well... what a fucking master of a composer he is
English Translation (Roughly; My Swedish ain't as good as it used to be) King and Prince Warrior Emperor Rulers Evil Demon People's hero Homeless God Rests here Body of bones No heart Dubbed in blood Soulless, Lifeless The darkness that falls on our land The wind, the wines - the ground shakes, the enemy gathers around our kingdom Ready to subjugate us now We warriors gather at the holy grave We Call on Spinal - Warrior God Help we need at this moment Save us! Save us! Mighty God!
An amazing piece... Truly befitting of the character and homage to the original and second installment theme. Couldn't be happier... THANK YOU MIKE GORDON FOR YOU AWESOME WORK ON ALL THESE THEMES!!!
Bro, don't take me wrong. I think you did a beautiful job over here, but I'm totally convinced that giving the wav is just wrong. At least, Mick Gordon (quick fact.. you misspelled his last name on the description) :p is adviced of this? I know we love his work, and that's why you did the video and I'm here. But I don't know, video is ok, giving the wav, not sure, we should contact with him and ask if he think is ok. : )
Syn Slonca You have a valid point and your right. My main goal was just to allow gamers and fans to experience the music and how good it sounds. Mick did a fantastic job and I do want him to get full credit for it so I took the WAV file down. Sorry guys but I had to do the right thing here. Thanks for understanding and thank you for bringing this to my attention. I spelled his name right now :D
RKosmik Whats the difference? people are going to convert the youtube audio to wave anyway? and besides its not like your not uploading the games original audio assetts?
RKosmik I say that it is perfectly fine until they release the soundtrack for purchase. As far as I know they haven't but if they did point me in the direction of it I'll buy it in a heart beat. I mean how else are we supposed to obtain this music otherwise? I just think you should post the download link until the release the OST for purchase then I agree that you should take it down.
After reading some of the posted lyrics on here, this song makes it seem like he's not a villain. In fact it kinda makes him look like a hero of old, leading an army from long ago and the people are trying to bring him back to get him and his army to help fight the enemy.
Basically. In the song's context, they're trying to summon their warrior god Spinal to leave the dead and give them his courage and strength to overtake their enemies.
I love the music in KI. Spinal and Fulgore's themes are probably my favorites. Jago's is pretty catchy also. I cannot wait for the season 2 characters!
Holy shit, Spinal's ultra combo is so damn hype. It's probably the best out of all three seasons, all the other ultras can barely get me as excited as Spinal's. I can even hear a little chant before the end of the combo that vaguely sounds like a bunch of guy yelling "Don't stop!"
Is it wrong for me to imagine myself, sword in hand, charging into a horde of enemies...and killing the whole lot of them single-handed? And all this happens with this theme in the background?
btw this is my 2nd favorite theme from the entire game. My favorites are now in this order: 1. Sabrewulf 2. Spinal 3. Thunder 4-7 jump around depending on my mood, currently their sitting like this 4. Glacius 5. Orchid 6. Jago 7. Sadira
***** Ahaa.. I get your point, I guess I choice my favorite music by the feeling that marks on me. And Sabrewulf's has this heartbreaking and maddening melody, that transports me immediatly to this gothic Frankensteinian world of night, shadows and evil experiments. I think that's the magic of Mick's music, he know how to give personality to the songs, something really weird in producers nowadays.
***** I admit that I put Sabrewulf's theme first because over everything else he's my main character. Plus I love the Gothic feeling of it. Although I do admit that the pacing isn't the best but I enjoy it just the same. I love the fact that Spinal's theme is so freaking dark. It fits him perfectly I think.
Syn Slonca I think that's what this soundtrack does so well in General. It does an amazing job of letting you know exactly who the theme pertains to. Each one sounds so fitting with the character. I just hope they decide to officially release this soundtrack in some form (even if it's not the complete themes that RKosmik put together so I can buy it and support this game in another way.
I have to agree with what a lot of people are saying about the themes. Each one brings their own style and personality, fitting the characters excellently. I also like them because they are both very image invoking, or so I see it. I can see this sort of song being sung by a bunch of Viking sailors as sort of an unholy sea shanty, or something like that. Which, of course, with Spinal's pirate theme fits him excellently.
This song is great and all, but its kinda weird for a nordic person like me, as the singing and chanting here is definitively swedish. I guess its pretty cool though, not many games use scandinavian shit.
The best thing about this song is that, according to the composer, this is basically a song about warriors attempting to summon Spinal to aid them in battle! That's fucking awesome!
Mick Gordon is an absolute fucking madman. Not only did he make this soundtrack a tour de force and worthy of the KI name, but in so many ways it surpasses the old OSTs. Holy SHIT.
+jobey burgoon, well they need someone to protect them and they seek revenge on their attackers, so they choose to summon a dark viking-god to help them in battle. Also the viking gods are often very bloody and what other would think as dark or demonic, like Odin imprisoning his grandchildren for eternity for just being born differently. They mirror the harsh society that that worshiped them, and who needed to be harsh themselves to survive.
The naval commander of the skeleton army, over the many centuries that the skeleton war has gone on for, spinal has made a name for himself, striking fear into the hearts of the opposition.
Bloody hell, I didn't even know you could download him yet. Also sorry to hear you had to get up so early for weeks to rip a song for a video game. That being said I downloaded it immediately and I'm currently headbanging my neck off. Thanks dude :)
RKosmik sorry to say this but one way or another ppl WILL get these themes. When killer cuts comes out I can bet the official ones won't sound like the in game ones.....Kinda like the Orchid theme that Mick has on his soundcloud...as long as your not requesting money I see nothing wrong....now I'm glad I downloaded this before you took it down so now I don't feel like I waited a month for nothing....in my opinion your doing a great job and thank you for this theme and keep up the good work you don't need to change a thing
Did you know that every day millions of skeletons are summugled through airport security? Inside each and every one of us there is a skeleton just waiting to burst out.
My body is not ready...
but my bones are.
I like these *bone* jokes
Always gets my *funny bone*
how humerus
This is from KI Central talking about Mick's Tweet about Spinal's theme!

A human leg bone flute, huh? Well that doesn't sound strange to people other than me at all. :/
DAMN...
ThePseudonoob PEOPLE DIED FOR SPINAL!
Wow RKosmik dude, you have to tell me where did you get all that information. It's brilliant. :)
RKosmik Nevermind, I missed the first paragraph. :pp
This character use to scare me when I was a child. I use to HATE skeletons when I was young and my brother would always use him against me. Though my god did they capture him so well in this game. This music is fantastic too, I love that they kept the old bone noises from the first one in there.
Also forgot to also say they kept that damn amazing laugh too! :)

Imagine if you were a kid and you saw -this- for spinal. If KI 1 Spinal scared you.
Sadly these days, I feel like kids have become so use to realistic and pretty visuals that I don't know if they even would be entirely scared of spinal. I mean he was a pile of pixels back when we were kids but those were like.. The hot graphics.
Though I'm sure there are some more sheltered children out there that may actually be pretty freaked out for sure. xD
I don't think I've ever heard of anyone being afraid of skeletons before.

Wanna add a bit to that. In between the first and second verses, they're saying "slåss" which means "Fight". So after the intro, I'd put that in there.
Can you also tell the non-translated one?
Its abit hard to sing with the song in english when its actually not. :D
Sadly, I cannot. I'm incapable of anything regarding Swedish. The only reason I knew that particular word was because I recalled it being written on Mick's Instagram when he teased that particular section. And I'm certain he wouldn't do that at random, especially not in Swedish.

SKELETON WARRIORS
Skeleton Warriors!
Spooky Scary Skeletons.
This song manages to be metal without a dominating presence of electric guitars.
thus proving my theory: its not the instruments, its the spirit behind the song
Damn, well noticed. I play this while working out and it pumps me the FUCK up
It's dominated by the most metal brass section and the most hardcore xylophone instead
Awesome workout song..

That is Mick Gordon's specialty. His song Cultist Base is a great example of this. No guitars, just face-ripping synths.
Anyone notice this entire song has traces of his KI 1 theme? it's riddled everywhere not just in the idle music
Mick gordon purposely put that in as an Easter egg
It's in every ost of the characters themes it's pretty cool
@@datdamnkez I mean not just as an Easter egg, but as an essential part of what makes it Spinal's theme
@@deddrz2549 I agree
The growling bass line and Scandinavian lyrics give it the feeling of black metal. Fuckin' brutal!! :D
Probably one of the coolest skeleton characters in all of gaming. I love how they hooked him up for this game.
This theme makes a character that was previously pretty damn generic rad as all hell. Shame I won't ever play his game, since xbone.
It's xbox
Bryan Guidos Some call it xbone either because as joke or because XBox ONE = XBONE .
XBone? Spinal is a skeleton!

Body of bones

Baptised in Blood
Soulless , lifeless
evil Demon
people's hero
homeless God

The forest the talking , cattle on the run
The enemy burns our chips
Rattle with swords and turn on the shields
Ready to slay us now
We pray to Thee spinal leave your body
Join our princes , take up arms
Grant us your strength in this battle
Wake up wake up, mighty God
Darkness is falling over our country
The winds wines, the ground shakes
The enemy gather around our realm , ready to subjugate us now
Warriors gather at the sacred tomb
Calls on Spinal , the warrior god
Help we need in this battle
Save us, save us mighty God
Skin ! skin ! skin !
We eat mushrooms for power and intoxication
Brings up axes, armour , helmets
With God Spinals strength and courage
Victory , victory, victory is ours
Kingdom there screaming for our help
Spinal he wakes up , leaving the grave
With sharp howl he gathers troops
Ready to fight for us now
SPI-NAL! RISE! LICH! KING!
SPINAL! SPINAL! SPINAL! SPI-NAL!

Is that closer?
So it's supposed to sound like they're trying to summon Spinal to aid them.
9:29 really sounds like it worked.
The warrior god Spinal rises to drive his blade before his enemies.
ALL HAIL SKELETOR'S BROTHER.
10:30 sounds like he killed those who summoned him then went back to his grave
Bolek Lolek
That would suck. Spend all that time to summon him and all he does is kill you and go back to sleep.
This is damn epic. I tought for years how could look a game like KI with modern graphics and concepts, but I never imagined Spinal looking so badass and with swedish choirs screaming his name.
DH really did a great job, it is so sad that they must leave this project to others.
I first heard this when I was in upper secondary school and loved it, I'm from Sweden so ofc it was fun to hear your language in a song I actually like (Sadly I find most of swedish music bad), but at the time I didn't know that it was Mick Gordon who did it. Years later I hear the DOOM soundtrack and fell in love with all of it instantly... AND NOW... even more years later I remember this song and go back to listen... And I find out that Mick Gordon made this as well... what a fucking master of a composer he is
English Translation (Roughly; My Swedish ain't as good as it used to be)
King and Prince
Warrior
Emperor
Rulers
Evil Demon
People's hero
Homeless
God Rests here
Body of bones
No heart
Dubbed in blood
Soulless, Lifeless
The darkness that falls on our land
The wind, the wines - the ground shakes, the enemy gathers around our kingdom
Ready to subjugate us now
We warriors gather at the holy grave
We Call on Spinal - Warrior God
Help we need at this moment
Save us! Save us! Mighty God!
Better than nothing I always say. Thx for the translation.
Thank you! *does the recon corp salute*
christian alonzo That's Survey Corps to you recruit!
Well done. This I really appreciate. Sub for you!
05:04 HEY! Your Using My ArtWork for Spinal's 2nd Stage from My DeviantART!, Why Thank You for Using It. (:
I only pick the best :D
+conkeronine I admire your work. lol
conkeronine nice work
love your work bro
You know even after the release of Kan Ra, Omen, and Aganos I can still say that spinal has the best theme.
I agree man!
Broly-Chan This and Omen are pretty much tied tbh.
And Maya's
1.This
2.Kan Ra
3. Omen
4. Fulgore
5. Chief thunder.
A new challenger arrived
Guy deserves many more subscribers.
Thanks, man.
Song is a musical masterpiece. Everything about it is so right and screams SPINAL!
Quite literally to if you hear the near end of the song cx
An amazing piece... Truly befitting of the character and homage to the original and second installment theme. Couldn't be happier... THANK YOU MIKE GORDON FOR YOU AWESOME WORK ON ALL THESE THEMES!!!
I listen to this while I'm doing my sprint workouts. It's amazing how much this song pumps me up.
I didn't think they could do better than ki 2 spinals theme...this song is now part of my exercise.
FULL BOSSNESS IS ACTIVATED!!!
Y'all didn't like him that much in KI 2 Like not that imitating? Lol!😆but makes him imitating
WAVE File is now in description. Sorry about that! Glad you guys like it as much as I do :D
Bro, don't take me wrong. I think you did a beautiful job over here, but I'm totally convinced that giving the wav is just wrong. At least, Mick Gordon (quick fact.. you misspelled his last name on the description) :p is adviced of this? I know we love his work, and that's why you did the video and I'm here. But I don't know, video is ok, giving the wav, not sure, we should contact with him and ask if he think is ok. : )
Syn Slonca You have a valid point and your right. My main goal was just to allow gamers and fans to experience the music and how good it sounds. Mick did a fantastic job and I do want him to get full credit for it so I took the WAV file down. Sorry guys but I had to do the right thing here. Thanks for understanding and thank you for bringing this to my attention. I spelled his name right now :D
RKosmik Whats the difference? people are going to convert the youtube audio to wave anyway? and besides its not like your not uploading the games original audio assetts?
RKosmik I say that it is perfectly fine until they release the soundtrack for purchase. As far as I know they haven't but if they did point me in the direction of it I'll buy it in a heart beat. I mean how else are we supposed to obtain this music otherwise? I just think you should post the download link until the release the OST for purchase then I agree that you should take it down.
I don't see it in the description. Maybe google screwed up the interface too much for me to figure it out. Where do I find it?
The intro is so powerful and hypnotizing, like a chant or mantra. Spinal's theme is fucking amazing.
That's exactly it. The whole song is ONE huge chant of warriors to their god Spinal in order for his aid in battle.
this theme is epicness, sound like a rammstein pirates
jaki gira Best comment lol
Like Rammstein meets Alestorm with a generous helping of Meshuggah?
After reading some of the posted lyrics on here, this song makes it seem like he's not a villain. In fact it kinda makes him look like a hero of old, leading an army from long ago and the people are trying to bring him back to get him and his army to help fight the enemy.
Indeed, he comes across as an ancient hero who was deified for his actions and is thus now worshipped as a God.
Basically. In the song's context, they're trying to summon their warrior god Spinal to leave the dead and give them his courage and strength to overtake their enemies.
***** He can obviously fight like a son of a gun if Vikings are trying to summon him lol.
Spinal, rise...Spinal, rise !!!
Reminds me of: "Arise, chicken...chicken, arise!"
sofa king we todd edd. (I'm glad that i'm not the only one who thought that)
When I die, and I come face to face with the grim reaper, my only wish that this song plays as my spirit battles it's way into the afterlife.
I love the music in KI. Spinal and Fulgore's themes are probably my favorites. Jago's is pretty catchy also. I cannot wait for the season 2 characters!
Holy shit, Spinal's ultra combo is so damn hype. It's probably the best out of all three seasons, all the other ultras can barely get me as excited as Spinal's.
I can even hear a little chant before the end of the combo that vaguely sounds like a bunch of guy yelling "Don't stop!"
An awesome theme, rivalled only by Sabrewulf's.
5:29 Jason and the arganout inspired Killer instinct 1 theme
Is it wrong for me to imagine myself, sword in hand, charging into a horde of enemies...and killing the whole lot of them single-handed? And all this happens with this theme in the background?
No I would feel the same. I can even think of all Killer Instinct characters including Sadira preparing for war in the Killer Instinct tournament
Now I know what to blast on speakers during Halloween.
This is so freaking awesome! Among the best themes so far!
btw this is my 2nd favorite theme from the entire game. My favorites are now in this order:
1. Sabrewulf
2. Spinal
3. Thunder
4-7 jump around depending on my mood, currently their sitting like this
4. Glacius
5. Orchid
6. Jago
7. Sadira
Almost...
1. Sabrewulf
2. Spinal
3. Glacius
***** Ahaa.. I get your point, I guess I choice my favorite music by the feeling that marks on me. And Sabrewulf's has this heartbreaking and maddening melody, that transports me immediatly to this gothic Frankensteinian world of night, shadows and evil experiments. I think that's the magic of Mick's music, he know how to give personality to the songs, something really weird in producers nowadays.
***** I admit that I put Sabrewulf's theme first because over everything else he's my main character. Plus I love the Gothic feeling of it. Although I do admit that the pacing isn't the best but I enjoy it just the same.
I love the fact that Spinal's theme is so freaking dark. It fits him perfectly I think.
Syn Slonca I think that's what this soundtrack does so well in General. It does an amazing job of letting you know exactly who the theme pertains to. Each one sounds so fitting with the character. I just hope they decide to officially release this soundtrack in some form (even if it's not the complete themes that RKosmik put together so I can buy it and support this game in another way.
This sounds surprisingly W40K.
by far the sickest song in the game!
is it just me, or does this sound so much better when you're in a fight? xD
How is it possible for all the KI soundtracks to be this good wtf
This is truly a masterwork. I mean, this could easily inspire a game by itself.
In my opinion this is one of the best themes in killer instinct I heard in a long time this definitely fits spinal as a theme
This one theme gives me the same intense feeling the SNES game gave me. This theme is sick.
Damn, yet again i am impressed with this games soundtrack.
This needs to be in a movie epic pirate fight!
I have to agree with what a lot of people are saying about the themes. Each one brings their own style and personality, fitting the characters excellently. I also like them because they are both very image invoking, or so I see it.
I can see this sort of song being sung by a bunch of Viking sailors as sort of an unholy sea shanty, or something like that. Which, of course, with Spinal's pirate theme fits him excellently.
its like his first and second theme combined into this epic track
All I did was turn my head for a day and you already have the Komplete Theme for Spinal! Dude you rock! Keep it up!
This song is great and all, but its kinda weird for a nordic person like me, as the singing and chanting here is definitively swedish. I guess its pretty cool though, not many games use scandinavian shit.
The best thing about this song is that, according to the composer, this is basically a song about warriors attempting to summon Spinal to aid them in battle! That's fucking awesome!
Thanks mr skeletal
Mick Gordon is an absolute fucking madman. Not only did he make this soundtrack a tour de force and worthy of the KI name, but in so many ways it surpasses the old OSTs. Holy SHIT.
Weird the lyrics talk about him being a evil demon but also a hero.
+jobey burgoon, well they need someone to protect them and they seek revenge on their attackers, so they choose to summon a dark viking-god to help them in battle. Also the viking gods are often very bloody and what other would think as dark or demonic, like Odin imprisoning his grandchildren for eternity for just being born differently. They mirror the harsh society that that worshiped them, and who needed to be harsh themselves to survive.
If I ever become a pro wrestler, I'm using this as my theme song.
And get sued by Microsoft.
+Drew Daniel I would like to see you facing John Cena
+gonzalo torchia AJ Styles is more my pace...
***** Or maybe Brock Lesnar
Undead skeleton had no Flesh and meat on him.he nothing but Bone,he is bad to the bone.
This night, Black Pearl Coming for us!
The naval commander of the skeleton army, over the many centuries that the skeleton war has gone on for, spinal has made a name for himself, striking fear into the hearts of the opposition.
Damn the swedish lyrics along with the instrumental sounds good. Anyone know similar songs?
Finntroll. Not much of the Dubstep, but definitely folk influence and swedish lyrics.
*****
I can't thank you enough for that recommendation.
SPINAL!!!!! SPINAL!!!! SPI!!!NALL!!!!!!
imagine a bunch of skeleton vikings doing a Samoan warrior dance
Bloody hell, I didn't even know you could download him yet.
Also sorry to hear you had to get up so early for weeks to rip a song for a video game. That being said I downloaded it immediately and I'm currently headbanging my neck off. Thanks dude :)
Dang, wasn't expecting the theme to be ready this quick. Great job!
only mick gordon can make a theme this badass for fucking captain bones from crashbox
Man, I love this theme.
Great work man really appreciate it ;D
RKosmik sorry to say this but one way or another ppl WILL get these themes. When killer cuts comes out I can bet the official ones won't sound like the in game ones.....Kinda like the Orchid theme that Mick has on his soundcloud...as long as your not requesting money I see nothing wrong....now I'm glad I downloaded this before you took it down so now I don't feel like I waited a month for nothing....in my opinion your doing a great job and thank you for this theme and keep up the good work you don't need to change a thing
Lets all remember that the game still isn't finished yet! Meaning more epic themes coming soon along with Fulgore's!
This is probably my favorite existing theme from KI right now.
Video Speed x Normal = Spinal
Video Speed x 2 = RAH HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Epic
THAT WAS AWESOME
SHIT, THIS IS INTENSE.
This song is so godly. I haven't gotten tired of it for the three years it's existed on my phone
Play Spinal for Skeleton War 2015!
so I drew a character to this song o.o amazing transitions o.o
This is awesome! No wonder this song took so long to make.
Even Though the new Killer Instinct is a BIG DEMO. It is still a Bad ass game
4:39 the original spinal songggggggg
God, that shouting at the end is so fucking cool. I can't help but want to join. SPINAL! SPINAL! SPI!! NAL!!!
Great job, man! Keep up the great work!
You should put these on spotify for people to listen to there as well!
How does this not have 6 Million Views yet ... i must have listened to this for hours on repeat.
I expected a Spooky Scary Skeleton somewhere.
Kind of.
4:52 love that laugh
This is the best character theme that I ever heard. It fits in the level and the character.
if you're looking for the good part 8:29
You guys made sure that Spinal is coming back with this raw classic. Now do the same for Cinder and TJ Combo.
Did you know that every day millions of skeletons are summugled through airport security? Inside each and every one of us there is a skeleton just waiting to burst out.
This song is too good, and I can still hear the klassic theme in there too even better
Boo I demand at the end of the song we get one final spinal troll laugh
I love the swedish lyrics in this song!
El mejor tema de esta franquicia... Lejos !
I think this would be a great soundtrack for the Meg
2021 and listening 💀🤟🏼🎧🔥!!
I was waiting for this, thank you so much
If you listen really closely, you can hear what sounds close to the original "bones" theme layered underneath from the original
@RKosmik: Thanks for uploading these.
