A pierced shoulder, a grazed neck, a shaft in the thigh. The swirling runic tattoos that covered him from head to toe were supposed to protect him from harm, but arrow after arrow found its mark. Yet if the tribal drummer felt pain or fear as he beat his war drums, he did not show it, holding his ground behind the Chosen and leading a chant of the ancestors to inspire courage and great deeds in battle even as he bled out. Through fading vision he saw tribal champions struck down one by one, and though he knew he and his tribe were doomed, his battle-song only grew stronger and clearer, an exultation of worthy foes, gods satisfied, and a glorious afterlife.
Better watch out for the chosen though. They're a pain to fight even lategame, not to mention the reavers are a nightmare to fight early on. And to think I thought them the equivalent of bandit raiders... this game constantly surprises me with its challenging enemies.
Hell, this is one of the best soundtrack and game combinations. Whoever played knows. When you see a band of heavily armored barbarians in front of you and this music starts playing ... Respect based on fear.
@@cruzaider5339 on god for a turn based tactics game this has its moments, one time my beast slayer captain decapitated 2 unhold giants at once with a greatswords swing, dropped my jaw
Battle Brothers is the best example for an excellent game filled by his soundtracks, game mechanics and battles without any big graphic engine! Just Love it, best ingame Soundtracks ever heard :)
First time seeing barbarian Chosen on the world map: "Huh. Never fought those before, but I'm pretty well armored and trained, we're all at full health, my best men are all on the fighting line, and theyre outnumbered 12 to 5. I think it'll be ok." Tactical map, as this starts playing: "Oh GOD what the hell are THOSE THINGS"
They murder the innocent They steal every last penny Those who they abduct probably meet fate worse than death But holy fuck, I would lie if I said I don't love their ost.
Some barbarians are actually friendly, random quest where the barbarian king is actually trying to prevent the march of northen undead into the realm of men, you either kill him for 10k or help him at exchange he march away in the endless trundra, wich wield 7k his gratitude as a gift as well..... fucking love this game storytelling.
I still remeber hot summer days of 2020 , me, my covid positiv test and 20days of quarantin and playing this game.. 20 strait days.. some times i would just enter battle and live this singing while i would cook my diner or something.. happy days... chears from Croatia
I can't believe this game doesn't even have a Wikipedia article and yet the soundtrack is of this level of quality and consistency. Breakdown Epiphanies, take a fucking bow.
How can they lose when the voices of their forefathers, carried on the wind that chills to the bone, cheer them on, praising the old gods and mocking the effete fashions of the southerners?
Your tracks in this game are simply haunting. They really stand out from the rest and are in my opinion one of the strongest points of the game. I'll be closely following your work from now on since everything you did for this game is pure gold. Can't wait to see what you do next! Cheers!
This one, along with the two bandit tracks, is one of the best pieces of VGM I've ever heard. You guys should have way more recognition for that, it's like Ben Prunty's FTL soundtrack levels of quality. Also sounds like some research went into those tracks, particularly the instruments you are using and the way you are using them in. Keep it up, it's a pleasure to listen to every bit of music you produce. :)
That feeling when you march out into the frozen wastes to meet a barbarian army head on, you're men decked out in the finest civilized armours and weapons, their morale high, nothing can go wrong, then the horde approaches, a swarm of thralls throw themselves at your men as fodder, heads go flying, their masters laughing with glee. You're men stand strong when you hear the quakes, two armoured unholds start wading through the line of battle a maniacal barbarian cracking his whip, you're men go flying. Disorder in the ranks as you frantically order them to hold and fight, the beastmaster being riddled with crossbow bolts and arrowheads, the unholds break loose, the barbarians lose their nerve and hack at them as you hack at their backs. You think victory is near when the barbarian king finally steps forward flanked on both sides by his chosen bodyguards, you give the order for your elites to charge, warhammers and Zweihanders in hand, again heads go flying, permanent injuries are inflicted, but when all is said and done you hold the barbarians king bloody head high. Another day another contract. (i fucking love this game if you didn't realise already and i would murder half the frozen north for a sequel, in 3D)
Northern Hounds bark in the distance as a first topless viking high on mushrooms wielding throwing axes appears and then this beat starts and game immersion is complete.
Both new tracks are pretty dark and... alive, I mean, it connects us with the old gods and the power of nature. It's deeper than a simple viking or nordic style, as I can myself feel the basic feelings proto-germans must have felt while their shamans were throat singing : fear and respect. Raw music for raw feelings. Anyways, once again, great quality. I hope I will be soon able to listen to new songs you worked on for other projects. I wish they would have ordered at least 4 or 5 new songs, but they probably ran out of money, cause the better the pricier :)
@@Uncle-Shredder Well, I guess you didn't make any effort to understand the nuances of "fear", knowing that it's obviously not the music itself that's supposed to be scary or whatever, but the contextual universe expressed through it, that each person can imagine. May your ancestors help you.
@Fro Ing Im actually referring to Proto-Germans (I dont know how to name them precisely otherwise) as people who lived during Mesolithic (around 10.000 years ago) in places that will be Scandinavia/ancient Germany thousands years later. So actually there were no germans, nor slavs, nor greeks nor even romans yet. And we are pretty sure that this group of people of Kongemose culture used to perform shamanic rituals (maybe even since the Paleolithic), but none can prove that they did throat singing too, I must grant you.
Oh, god(s), i LOVE what you did with the bass after 3:20, this is just epic. Thank you for what you did for this game, wouldnt be as memorable as it is without the music, amazing work
The most legible lirics are: "vei lan sei dori ma vei vainar! Stei lan sei dorima vei vainar!" Google translator says that it is translated from Romanian as: "You will come if you want to hunt me down! You are the one who wants to hunt me down!" I know that lirics are just some sort of gibberish, but they sound too meaningfull. Transcription and translation of this song as pointless as much sense we saw when we listened to it for the first time. As for me the same lines mean appeals to the old gods to give strength and power. Magnificent soundtrack! Nice work for nice game.
You guys are incredible. After starting up a new company with the DLC, I can definitely say that this song in particular is my favorite new thing to be added so far. My only complaint is that there isn't more music! Keep up the awesome work
The track’s called ‘Chant for the Old Gods’, but the Northerners also call their pantheon the Old Gods. Does that mean that the two cultures may have a similar religion? With how sometimes you can resolve conflicts with barbarians in a ‘more civilized’ way (a duel instead of destroying a whole camp), does that put barbarians and human of the North much closer than they seem?
well, considering this is basically europe... the various noble houses are comparable to european statelets of the middle ages, as in they likely descended from the various hunnic tribes that populated europe following fall of western rome...aka barbarians.
They're basically cavemen/vikings. Big, primitive, violent guys. They do not have the same religion, as implied by the Barbarian start. They capture a priest, and are about to kill him because they think he is going to preach them his religion, but he tells them there's coin to be made in the South.
There are probably more similarities than they'd like to admit. Given the Northerners are germanic/celtic and the Barbarians are Norse/Caveman. But I don't think this is The Barbs doing the chanting, so much as the northerners wading into battle against them in the snow.
You guys really kicked butt with the BB soundtrack. Not even being hyperbolic - I play a lot of games and listen to a lot of music. You nailed it. Keep up the good work.
This is the untold story of a culture left behind in distant, harsh and cold lands, whose warriors came here to try their luck and prosper with the axe and sword to, perhaps, return rich to their women and children someday, abiding by their warmonger ways, just as their ancestors always did.
Awesome soundtrack! It's one of the best viking-themed song I've ever heard. Authors of Vikings tv-series definitely should invite you to write a soundtrack for their next show)
This is one of the most ecstatic, emotional, mystic, MASTERPIECE (this word gets thrown around too liberally nowadays, but here it's justified) pieces of music.

Is the language just vaguely-Northern chanting, or is the language being sung an actual one? Either way, really looking forward to this- that Lone Wolf start sounds like just the thing for me!
@@breakdownepiphanies3364 That's amazing! The fact that it's not an actual language i mean. It truly puts the listener under the impression or atmosphere that they are venturing into a truly foreign land.
walking in the snowy woods with my Brothers and Sister. All are happy and in good mood, then, ambush. we are surrounded by barbarian with a giant beast in armor. love it !
Is the instrument Nyckelharpa? If not it sounds pretty similar. Some other artist i heard have played some on that instrument. Either way this really captured me when i went north for the first time. Very nicely done!
I don't suspect that I shall direct a movie set in the frigid north of a barbarian land, but if I do, I'm hiring Breakdown Epiphanies to write the music 🎶
Reminds me of that one time I tried to take on 8 Barbarian Chosens with my fresh out of 100 Days company. I thought to meself, what could possibly go wrong lmao rawr xD. Oh my sweet summer child...... Inb4 my frontline gets slaughtered, backliners beaten to a pulp, and the very few that survives are permanently traumatised. All while this OST chanting in the background. Since then, Barbarian Chosens has been added to the many things that I am allergic to in Battle Brothers. Great soundtrack all in all, but not so sure about the PTSD part.
Had a lvl 16 battleforged brother in full barbarian king armor face a chosen with a hammer. The brother had a bit over 100hp After that 1 swing from it, he was left with 30hp
Close, it's a Nyckelharpa which has similar mechanics for pressing down the strings but it is played with a bow and not with a crank like the hurdy gurdy. They do sound similar though agreed!
I dont even know the game this music is in, i just love this so much, it takes me to a whole different world. I know this whole track by heart at this point.
It's been 10 months since this post but I hope you've found the game by now friend, if not it's Battle Brothers, specifically the Warriors of the North DLC and its well worth it.
I just realized there is subtle chants from the left speaker on my headphones that I never realized this until now because my left speaker never worked.
I wish more games would make the effort for thematic soundtracks (music that only plays under precise circumstances) Everyone remembers "one winged angel" from FF7 because it was only used in the Jenova/Sephiroth fight and not randomly all the time. Total War used a special "climax of the attack" system for their battles, so music would be most intense the moment the battle gets to the "big clash", but for some reason they stopped using that... When you fight barbarians in BB this music comes up and it immediately makes the fight feel special. Wish more games would utilize this.
truly one of the best song if not the best song paired with a game. I wish there was more informations of your work and hope you get other contracts for games. Even discounting game the music is awesome for those who like neo tribal neo pagan music.
Thanks Dacia! Yes this is the full version of that track. We also uploaded the second Barbarian battle track but the RUclips algo decided to match a phrase in it with a ten year old latino pop song. :D We hope we can share that one soon.

I dont even know the game this music is in, i just love this so much, it takes me to a whole different world. I know this whole track by heart at this point.
It's been 10 months since this post but I hope you've found the game by now friend, if not it's Battle Brothers, specifically the Warriors of the North DLC and its well worth it.
I just realized there is subtle chants from the left speaker on my headphones that I never realized this until now because my left speaker never worked.
Good man
my men are being slaughtered but the music is a skull basher
When the savage crown calls your name and horrors that were long forgotten rise again - what will you answer, sellsword?
I wish more games would make the effort for thematic soundtracks (music that only plays under precise circumstances)
Everyone remembers "one winged angel" from FF7 because it was only used in the Jenova/Sephiroth fight and not randomly all the time.
Total War used a special "climax of the attack" system for their battles, so music would be most intense the moment the battle gets to the "big clash", but for some reason they stopped using that...
When you fight barbarians in BB this music comes up and it immediately makes the fight feel special.
Wish more games would utilize this.
Pffft how many runs have I lost to this soundtrack... XD
truly one of the best song if not the best song paired with a game. I wish there was more informations of your work and hope you get other contracts for games. Even discounting game the music is awesome for those who like neo tribal neo pagan music.

this is the reason I hang out north... a LOT
Os barbaros chegando na batalha cantando "não sei" kkkkkk. Esse jogo é uma maravilha ❤
people dont buy a game for the sound track
me: i want that c:
Hearing this wonderful song is worth getting your company slaughtered on day 2.
I don't know how many times I loaded my autosave playing this game and I still fucking like it.
Is this the full version of the preview track that was posted a month or two ago? You guys did a brilliant job!
Thanks Dacia! Yes this is the full version of that track. We also uploaded the second Barbarian battle track but the RUclips algo decided to match a phrase in it with a ten year old latino pop song. :D We hope we can share that one soon.
my beard grows 2 inches everytime i listen to this song.
Khorne hungers! Blood for the Blood god!

Beautiful music! Do you by any chance have the lyrics and a translation for that haunting chant?
