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.
Is this a piece of in-game text?
Nope, Alan just writes well
That is genuinely my favourite comment on youtube. Goosebumps man.
Oh man... that's some good stuff.
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.
This game can be cinematic at times
@@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
Just get some crossbows;)
Fear? Of course half naked barbarians in fear of five archers behind shieldwall.
And then you Just pray ur lads hold the line and dish good damage
I won't deny it, whenever I see barbarians I rush to fight them just to hear this soundtrack.
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.

Friend: so what kind music are you into nowadays?
Me an intellectual:
THE DEPICTION OF MY LIFE..
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 :)
Thank you Steve!
My puppy turned into a bear listening to this. Truly awesome artful pieces of music.

This is *THE* best soundtrack in the game, I listen to it all the time, it should be on spotify or something
It is 🤘 open.spotify.com/track/57jALGMiFnLbAyACdvj5KP?si=12cc771f26394849
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.
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.
Their axes and groovy throat singing get stuck in your head alike :D
Drang nach Osten, mr hitler.
You mean they steal every last _mark*_
These are teutons, you filthy anglo.
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.
Those are the juice son, not barbarians. Barbarians Live wild and free.
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
Cheers @nohlavopi!
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?
Foul northlander! Back to the Chaos wastes you go!
Then they shall have to accept only yours
And they will drink from your skull
@@arashparthian_112 THAT´S A NICE HEAD YOU HAVE ON YOUR SHOULDERS
I have full plate armour and a big sword ⚔️
Listening on repeat! That Soundtrack is totally awesome!
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"
*Confused screaming*
"You might not like it, but this is what peak masculinity looks like."
A bunch of Champions came in, absolutely wrecked my men, and fucked off. Gigachads who ended my playthrough.
i just discovered this game...40 hrs in 3 days....And this song is pure energy
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. :)
The first part of this song specifically makes me think of Void (Battle) from FTL.
Rs player ?
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!
Thank you, very much appreciated
now it's sand music
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)
Just half? ;)
My fucking god, good job writing that.
Nice description. Brings back old memories. Now i have to play it...
Your*
They could go crazy in a sequel this franchise is the start of the GOAT of turn based strategy.
Been using your tracks in my D&D campaign, it seriously lifts up the immersion. Thank you.
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 :)
If this instills fear into you than may your ancestors help you.
@@SaksischeDonder 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.
Just amazing
This soundtrack is absolutely fantastic
For the old gods and the new ones! Cant wait for the release tomorrow!
Holy war will soon be upon us
god damn incredible ost you fellas have made, and a stellar addition to it this track is
Этим ребятам не нужна блестящая броня и красивое оружие чтобы нагонять жути! Настоящие монстры, обожаю старт за варваров!
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.
Think of it akin to the "vikings" and the "saxons" basicaly same peeps but some of them like raiding a little more.
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.
Let's not forget you can sometimes recruit a barbarian in the northmost castles. I'd say yes to this post lol.
My dad went out walking the dog with this song in my playlist. Came back as a 7ft viking walking an eight legged horse.
So this OST has sold me on the DLC. Absolutely amazing work here I wish there was more.
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.
The fact that that translation works is pretty wild haha
Hello, would like to hear about our lord and saviour, Davkul?
Yes actually, I would like to
Let me hear the Voice of Davkul!
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
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
Chaos & Norscan love this song
Thanks for blessing our ears with this masterpiece, my brothers.
Chaos COMES
Chaos is not coming. Chaos AWAITS us.
ah, an intellectual, i see you serve lord khorne as well
@Svarog Samo Empire bajo moj ;)
@Svarog Naravno, bas sad igram , put kultista, zanimljiva stvar, sa legends modom. i jos 10 drugih da zacine igru. Ti?
@Svarog ja uvek stavim to na random, pa ko dodje neka dodje, sada se zadisilo da orci vrse invaziju, mnogo je dobra igra, takodje pogledaj "Battle Brothers Legends" mod, kada jednom probas, nikad neces vise igrati vanilu, veruj mi ;)
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.
REND FOR THE OLD GODS!
wrong game wrong game
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.
This is fantastic, cant imagine how you guys would tackle a sci-fi battle brothers. This track just oozes flavor.
I love everything about this DLC... Cant wait to play it!
Когда я слушаю эту мелодию, у меня возникает желание построить драккар, и отправиться грабить Англию!

@@shadowbear6894 🤣🤣🤣🤣
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)
Ha that would be awesome, wouldn't say no to that
The original song is awesome but if you try it on 2.0 you can truly feel your blood RUSHING
lmao just tried that :D KINOSE!
This is a fantastic song, great work! I see that you guys also worked on the OST for Terra Invicta, another gem.
Damn this is the soundtrack you hear when a freaking 8 barbarians use adrenaline rush knowing you're bros are fu*ked bext turn

its actually insanely good huge props to all involved on this!! :)
Damn these tracks are so good. Adds so much to what was already a really nifty game, aesthetically speaking.
This hits harder than a barbarian chosen
You guys killed it with this one
Лучший саундтрек к игре, что я слышал.
such talent omgggggggggggg
2:41 best part
Great stuff as usual.
Still listening in 2021! This track is inspirational and helps me focus.
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
There's a good reason why they are called " Chosen " my friend..
Skill issue
Best battle song I've ever heard, hands down!
Best track of the entire (amazing) soundtrack!
Started WFH and put the ost on.
*20 secs later*
Zoom call with the Barbarian Bear clan and welcomed as a plunder analyst in the firm.
"Well I just lost 6 good men, but at least I feel culturally enriched"
Rend for the Old Gods!
*Stumbling Scratch*
my men are being slaughtered but the music is a skull basher
*mercenary in trouble*
*War dog comes to aid*
*Barbarian Kings kills War Dog*
*mercenary panics*
*Barbarian Kings kills Mercenary*
*Eye twitches*
Maximus: "Alright You've kill one my battle brothers and now you've kill my war dog now it's personal"
*Mercenarys move forward to kill other barbarians and now encircle the king*
*Barbarian King panics*
*Maximus smashes his Bastard Sword down his shoulder*
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 🎶
I misread "chant" for "chads"
Damn, this track tho. Haven't played the game for a long time, but this thing rocks.
Richtig geiler Stuff.
This is one of the very best tracks ever created for a videogame. Skol!
You guys need to work on M&B soundtracks , it would be a great game + best soundtrack ever
i would totally agree buit M&B will never be lauched
F
@@hanarielgodlike9283 you sure about that?
@@hanarielgodlike9283 lmao better delete your comment
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!
It's not an actual language but we tried our best to make it sound atmospheric. Had some good laughs recording the vocals ^^
@@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.
@@breakdownepiphanies3364 I would die to see those recordings
@@CptZhu Sadly there is no video footage sorry :D
@@Daipeter just pure improvization, we didn't go full Tolkien on this haha
Pffft how many runs have I lost to this soundtrack... XD
This is my favorite
Damn! This is amazing even without any game context!
Excellent!
I notice that when fighting chosen, my brother's heads seem to get larger than their bodies.
One of my favorite tracks in the game :)
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 !
Lyrics at the start are like: "Get...going... TEN PERCENT... get...going...TEN PERCENT!"
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!
Yes that's a Nyckelharpa indeed. Good ear!
I need someone to mod Total war Warhammer by adding this OST to Norsca please
Top 3 my favorite games
listening to this music, I felt some ... ADRENALINE
lifting weights at the gym with this song grows my testosterone up to 300%
Good man

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.
Chills at 4:35 you guys are amazing
The Barbarians OST is absolutely awesome! A question about this one - does it use hurdy-gurdy? Clacking and the drone give that impression...
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!
@@breakdownepiphanies3364 Thank you! I was today years old when I learned Nyckelharpa exists :)
people dont buy a game for the sound track
me: i want that c:
this is the reason I hang out north... a LOT
my beard grows 2 inches everytime i listen to this song.
12 me vs 8 chosen.
Ps:
Great Songs
I don't know how many times I loaded my autosave playing this game and I still fucking like it.
Khorne hungers! Blood for the Blood god!
Hearing this wonderful song is worth getting your company slaughtered on day 2.
When the savage crown calls your name and horrors that were long forgotten rise again - what will you answer, sellsword?
lov of battlegraund maps
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.
