Hey everyone, This song took quite long to make, simply because the solo was as far as I have ever pushed myself with one. Never done tapping before this, nor a run as long as this, nor connected melodic lines with them... so it is suffice to say that this was a first time for a lot of things! You can find this track on: Bandcamp: davidcsontos.bandcamp.com/track/in-the-maw-of-the-ouroboros Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/6RQL78GUjTp1mh54Qhmf1r?si=qSgH5AzRRz-dzvy3KqZIZA Amazon Music : music.amazon.co.uk/albums/B0C25K589T?marketplaceId=A1F83G8C2ARO7P&musicTerritory=GB&ref=dm_sh_BGc5xIgy20lhXnAqRUCOlkwGl&trackAsin=B0C24YP94T
Cold sweat? That usually means bad dreams, but now what ever monster there was in the bad dream is about have a bad dream about you now that you listen to this
Very evocative, and the description story resonated with me heavily. I have very frequent nightmares as a side effect of severe generalized anxiety disorder, worsened by ADHD. When I was a child, I was scared to fall asleep, because the nightmares would traumatize me so much. Now that I am a bit older and medicated for ADHD, my nightmares have subsided somewhat. I feel that I am on the other side of fighting my own head for sleep, the vast majority of the time. To me, this song seems like an anthem for finding victory in resilience, in fighting the long fight against mental struggles. Wonderful song!
I got so inspired by this track, I made a good chunk of story, and bossfight idea im actually pretty proud of, in this nine minutes for my upcoming ttrpg campaign. So yeah, I too think this guy can make one of best OSTs ever.
Even tho i don't relate to the description story, this song feels like constant running from something, and that something never gets off your tail, like you are in a loop of running, but the more you run, the more you feed the beast. Also i like that throughout the song the leitmotif stays the same most of the time and even when its not there, your mind "hears" it subconsciously, its like nothing except environment changes from running, but the problems always stand right behind your back, even when it seems that you finally got away. Thats what an ouroboros is for a mere human, not a mythical creature, but a state of constant pain and running, a never ending cycle of suffering without an option to fight, draining you until you wither away, and then get absorbed by the beast, joining the others who failed. Edit 1: OOOHHH i also just noticed that the small tsk in the beginning and similar parts is like a clock ticking, indicating that time cuts short and you have little to no of it to make a decision, keep running till you die, or finally take your chances and fight. But then, in the end of the song it suddenly stops ticking entirely, while the sounds of eternal cycle only fade away, claiming another victim, and going for another...
That is an interesting interpretation! I have my own too, but the beauty of music is that there can be a hundred different ways to imagine what it means. Thank you for this. I always enjoy reading such comments.
Ever since i found this song a few weeks ago i cant stop listening, and now knowing that it has such a creative story behind it... Oddly relatable, as someone who struggles with bad dreams and was afraid of going to sleep ever since i was little Nowadays i go to sleep with the help of having conversations with friends over the phone, and it helps a bit, but it doesn't take away the fact that the nightmares might still come when i least expect it lol Lets hope Thomas has more luck
I was putting together a playlist for myself and found this in it's recommendations. Was not expecting the music to go as hard as the title god damn, probably a new favorite of mine now. Great work bro. 🤘
that description kind of happened to me recently. i had a bad experience a few years back, then found a women online who had similar one to me. doubt i'll ever meet her. but i'd certainly love to.
This music gives the feeling of someone fighting, fighting, and fighting, without any break like getting thrown into the nightmare that you wont be able to defeat but still trying to. Truly greatest and badassest track i ever heard, the guitar was majestic Get well thomas
Oh, I think I know what you're talking about XD That's just me tapping the guitar strings with a pick very lightly. Thanks for the listen! I do think that looking back on it, this track turned out really great!
@@SaticCerebrumProductions That's great to hear. This song is actually part of a concept album called "Beyond". If you are looking for similar stuff, that would be what I'd recommend!
One of the best songs I could ever hear on since I first heard it, and as an artist it inspires me a lot for animation, and just drawing mainly as I blast this on repeat, and high volume for hours.
i love listening to this while in in the taxi on my way to school, helps keep me sane as I’m the first one picked up and last one dropped off in a taxi of like 4 other people or something.
Really nice song. Unfortunately, the drama of it was a little lost on me because I got recommended it while listening to another song called "Born To Shit (Forced To Wipe)." I guess Thomas was a strange fellow even without the insomnia. 乁( ⁰͡ Ĺ̯ ⁰͡ ) ㄏ In seriousness, I'll have to give this a listen another time when I'm in the right mindset to take in more abstract storytelling, but I really enjoyed the music otherwise.
This music feels like you're a gamemaster in a roleplay game and you're dying for 3 months then got helped from someone called the Doctor to pass this phase, coming back to the writing of the scenario, then offering your players a really good and fun moment every friday... oh and your name is Thomas. However, it would never happen in real life, right?
Excellent music, but I also have to commend you on the name choice. The name was definitely interesting and evocative enough to check it out (and the music kept me listening!)
Some of that higher guitar accents reminds me of stuff like Soulfly, an example being Soulfly from the album Soulfly, and the general melancholic musical void of filled sounds it puts me in reminds me of Archangel (another Soulfly song) or Floods and The Sleep (Pantera). But it still sounds really unique and cool on its own. In other words, this song rocks.
Thank you. It is great that you showed what it reminded you of. Music is like a messy road that just so happens to cross for us, and I always enjoy listening to where others have been.
Listening to this I imagined a massive blue dragon covered in highly conductive metal armor, wielding a to-scale crossbow it made itself. They call him the Eye of the Storm, because whenever this legendary marauder is on the hunt a storm fit to electrify miles of sky, land and sea follows in his wake. Lightning is his herald, and thunder his *wrath*! Also just imagine a five story dragon in armor with a crossbow that shoots Redwood Tree sized explosive tipped bolts at you. Talk about a pants shitting image haha! Anyways great work, you've made a song that gives me *You are at the heart of the storm, faced with what should be a myth* vibes. Easily going into my all-time favorite tracks next to *Tenebrae Rosso Sanguie* (Might have misspelled it) from *Ultrakill.* Either way it is a privilege to subscribe to you. Edit: Have you ever considered doing a cover of *In The House In a Heartbeat* from *28 Days Later*? I think it'd be right up your alley!
Thank you. The solo took almost as long, if not longer than the track to make, but stuff like this can greatly differ based on how much inspiration I'm feeling.
@@davidcsontos I just wish that it wasn't always first on recommended: the description can't be changed on the topic videos, and the description here gives a backdrop as to what the music is representing: a man's last, valiant stand, against his unending insomnia and nightmares.

Well this was a pleasant surprise to wake up at 3 in the morning in a cold sweat to.
Hopefully not like Thomas... otherwise you might need to take a trek to the Middle East, to follow in his footsteps.
@@davidcsontos Well at least I know the perfect song to play when I do so.
Cold sweat? That usually means bad dreams, but now what ever monster there was in the bad dream is about have a bad dream about you now that you listen to this
He hE! You seem pretty powerful! Wanna spar a round or two?
This gives me the vibe of someone locked in a endless battle. They’ve been winning, but for how long?
Get well soon, Thomas, btw.
haha, you are pretty close.

Thank you for sharing this! Despite the topic, I've really enjoyed reading your experience. Hope that all will be well. 👍
Someone genuinely needs to hire you to compose a game OST. You would do amazing at it.
I got so inspired by this track, I made a good chunk of story, and bossfight idea im actually pretty proud of, in this nine minutes for my upcoming ttrpg campaign.
So yeah, I too think this guy can make one of best OSTs ever.
ooh,i'd LOVE to hear about the story and boss fight idea if you feel comfortable sharing.@@leBruhMan
The beautiful writing of the simple phrase of "In the Maw of the Ouroboros" is fantastic- To be in the maw of the Ouroboros is to be self-consuming.
Or it could be that you are in a constant cycle of doing things over and over again.
Insanity.
I've listened to this so many times, it rocks harder each time
I have always dreamed of hearing music that could tell me anything without spoiling a word. Dreams Come True. And not only from the recipient.
Even tho i don't relate to the description story, this song feels like constant running from something, and that something never gets off your tail, like you are in a loop of running, but the more you run, the more you feed the beast. Also i like that throughout the song the leitmotif stays the same most of the time and even when its not there, your mind "hears" it subconsciously, its like nothing except environment changes from running, but the problems always stand right behind your back, even when it seems that you finally got away.

That is a great way to describe it. Thank you!
I found this song sunday.
It's thursday, and it's still stuck in my head.
Good work.
May it stay stuck for a long time! 😆
Underrated as hell
Mad song goes well with the story definitely adding it to the playlist
Just perfect recomendation for a morning wake up call. Amazing sound, man. Simplistic cover art really adds to the mood
I'm in love with this sound
i dont want to say it but arround 4:57 you can hear a faint twitter notification also im addicted to this song
Oh, I think I know what you're talking about XD That's just me tapping the guitar strings with a pick very lightly. Thanks for the listen! I do think that looking back on it, this track turned out really great!
@@davidcsontos it turned really well,i always listen to this track when i start coding stuff,great music i might check your other tracks as well

Getting a lot of risk of rain 2 ost vibes from this but with a lot more grit. Great stuff

This song is awesome 🤘
Commenting for the algorythm to push more this gem!
Thank you. 🤘
the ouroboros is infinite, good symbolism
Maybe I'm just crazy, but it greatly reminds me of the Half-Life 2 Soundtrack. I don't know why, but it just sort of fits with the game's soundtracks.
This music makes me feel like a guy with metal arms named Aaron would be Rogue again...
Excellent music, but I also have to commend you on the name choice. The name was definitely interesting and evocative enough to check it out (and the music kept me listening!)
Thank you! 👍
Very cool!

This is seriously phenomenal, do tabs of this exist? I'd love to try to learn it.
No. There are no tabs currently, but this might be something I do in the future.
This riff is fucking tasty
Been listening to a lot of Gojira Magma lately so that might be just the inspiration XD.
@@davidcsontos is there more to the story or is this the beginning or what
@Glockroach I think it will remain a single for now. I won't be making an album for at least a couple months, so the story is what you make of it!
This sounds indescribably similar to risk of rain boss music (that is a compliment).
TABS. I NEED TABS! I play the guitar and oh boy I. WANNA. PLAY. THAT. 🔥🔥🔥
Unfortunately, I do not currently have tabs for the track, but that might change in the future. But it would not happen for a while.
@@davidcsontos aw damn that's too bad but I'm staying tuned tho!

Damn mate, how much time did it took to develop and polish those skills and this track?? Keep going, hard af.
Thank you. The solo took almost as long, if not longer than the track to make, but stuff like this can greatly differ based on how much inspiration I'm feeling.
fire
Hellfire even.
Inthe background did you add the azaan? (The voice going aaaaaaaa)
Yes (but it's not me).
Anyone have the guitar tabs for this ???
Sorry for the late reply! Was there a particular part that you were looking at?
This music sounds familiar, or perhaps the style is familiar. I know it's progressive metal, but parts of the song sound like older Rush. I enjoy it.
Not too sure. I don't listen to Rush, but I do to bands that were likely inspired by them.
what is this?
A song with a little story to it.
Gorgeous art passing through your ears
Sounds amazing it reminds me of rammstein 🤘
Topic Channels always stealing the views for the main video.
I don't mind. I wouldn't personally call it 'stealing', because I am in control of both (which in this instance is all under one channel).

@@Lamadon_Pyreus I can see that, yes. To tell you the truth, I am just happy that it is getting views, regardless of the method.
Too bad he doesnt make it..........
I'm not ouroborous
I have been told if i manage to fall asleep while listening to this i get to play doom in my sleep did i hear that right?
Just make sure you can wake up! 😆
