I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says: 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." - J. Robert Oppenheimer
@@desperate.1897 I feel like that message should make me feel satisfied when I'm finished the game, but it's more depressing than anything. What is the poor reaper to do when there are no more missions..?
he's becoming Hoppo in-house Music guy ... it's a great thing. Supergiant games works like that too and it shows in the quality of their games. Working with an OST from the start helps refine what the mood of the game is supposed to be, it keeps the whole thing on track. Like you couldn't imagine playing Isaac or Meat Boy without the sick melodies from Danny B.
I recently went back to play Deadbolt, one of my favorite games by heart, and now that I have a greater emotional and worldly understanding I understand how precious this game is. The music in this game manages to immerse us in this chaotic, lonely and melancholic world, where not everyone is happy or has good endings. Some laugh, many cry and scream for help. When you understand this game, you know that every undead you killed had a life. Before they were people, and even after they were resurrected, they did not stop being people. Each one with their own problems and concerns, their pains and frustrations, their melancholy and loneliness to face, in addition to the battle for their daily survival, just like us, normal people. This game has such intense depth that you start to feel a strong empathy for the undead you kill. Most of them may not even be your enemies, just your adversaries, just unfortunate beings who crossed your path and could not have a choice between peace or war, peace was never an option in this chaotic, cold and lonely world.
I played Risk of Rain a lot 2 years ago, and started playing Deadbolt a few weeks ago, I knew it was another OST by Chris Christodoulou when I heard it ! Awesome work !
I love how unafraid you are to have the lead dance outside the harmony in this soundtrack! This track especially, it's done so well, and it fits perfectly with the concept of the game. I really appreciate the thought (that may (or may not have been)) put into creating dem nasty harmonies with the guitar. Excellent pacing too, especially with the challenge of the repetitive bass-line. I think it's a unique style, and it's inspiring :D Good luck with RoR2!
Thank you! I can assure you there is not one random harmony, melody, rhythm or combination thereof in the soundtrack. We gave this *a lot* of thought :)
Almost all the guitars (at least all the good ones) are played by my friend and guitarist extraordinaire Christos Spirakis. The acoustic drums are played by another good friend, Thanasi Moustogiannis. The rest of the junk is me.
Guará All three potentially create music. The way I see it composing is a rather esoteric process that includes (but is not limited to) the organization of the sounds in a piece of music (melody, harmony, instrumentation, form, etc.). Producing has more to do with the final result and can involve things like sound design, mixing, creative effects, etc. In modern music making the two definitely overlap. The term "musician" to me is more associated with the performer. Some performers are players (i.e. orchestra musician), some are interpreters (like a soloist) and some are "creators" (i.e. improvisers in a jazz ensemble, etc.). But the terms are blurred. For example, Miles Davis is a musician (trumpet player) but also a composer and improviser. So I guess you can use either term depending on context. :)
XD Some damn logic right here.Wait,let me make it better: SON,WHATEVER YOU DO,DON'T OPEN THE GOD DAMN DOOR! But dad,it is mister Reaper! Wait,the DJ? Yeah! OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR,NOW!
This might be one of the coziest songs I’ve heard in a game yet. Feels wonderful to hear this come on after I’ve completed a difficult mission in the game, sometimes I just sit there and listen for a while.
the little "it's not a guitar :)" annotation is so funny lmao. it's seriously impressive that you can make a sound like this with a synthesizer. mad props to you
Can't believe how much I listen to this album everyday since I played the game around 2016. This one being my favorite. Chris you truly are a genius and this is fantastic job. Thanks thanks thanks !
Late to the commenting party , I bought this game on march 23rd 2016 and I slept on it for a long while but the soundtrack is what drove me to hunt for 3 stars on almost all levels. Your ability to create unique soundscapes and fully immerse the player into a specific universe just through music is seldom matched in the game scoring industry in my opinion. I discovered your music playing risk of rain and I've been hooked ever since , you're up there with the GOATs like mick gordon , jeremy soule, danny baranowsky , austin wintory , lena raine ,C418 i'm sure i'm forgetting plenty of other talented people that have made good games reach legendary status with their musical prowess.
I recommend checking out Tim Follin, dude was one of if not the best NES music producers. He made tracks like the silver surfer lv 1 theme, and Pictionary title screen theme. That's not a mistake nor a joke his pictionary theme is insanely good. edit: He also worked on the soundtracks of Time-Trax for the Sega Genesis and Plok for the SNES. Both of which are amazing.
Thank you! I assume you haven't finished the game so there's more to discover-or maybe you did, I know it took me much more than 82 min. :) There are also some that are only available for the level editor so make sure you check them out here (or wherever you listen to music!)
Started playing the game yesterday. I was like "hey, this kind of sounds like it's made by the same guy who made the ROR soundtrack." Then I was like "oh, hey, it is!" Really nice soundtrack, Chris! I look forward to seeing you again in more of my future favorites. :D
I've just finished the game, I loved it. The soundtrack fit perfectly. The ending was amazing, just like the game itself, and all I can say is, Amazing work Hopoo Games, and Amazing Soundtrack Chris.
omg, everything Chris makes is godlike. i first discovered risk of rain and i was like, okay, this awesomeness cant be topped even by the guy himself and now this kicks ror's ost's ass. i guess i have to dig even deeper.
I think that he has reached a certain level of skill where he can adapt almost, if not, perfectly to any other genres or styles while still adding part of his own style to mix things up. Truly an amazing artist, and an amazing composer.
I don't know what to say. This is just masterpiece of a soundtrack. When i was in the headquaters instead of going for a mission i just sat on the couch, and vibed to this song. Thanks for making the game better.
The RoR2 Soundtrack is easily my most listened album of all time. I didn't figure that would ever change, but when the first track in the OST of a game I've never even heard of is this much of a banger, I just might be wrong.
when i first played deadbolt on the vita, i stayed in the room to listen to whole song and play the album regularly when im at work. thank you for making such amazing music
First hearing this was bliss. Chilling at home after the first mission, I was stuck just vibing. Then that synth just rolls in screaming oh my GAWD dude.
WOW. I didn't know that this game is by the developers of Risk of Rain. Then I saw the music is also by the same composer! The game has been out for month, but once I realized this, I immediately bought it. Immediately fell in love with the music. Honestly you even surpassed the soundtrack of Risk of Rain. This is just beautiful. I wait in the mission end screen just to listen to this. (with "this" I'm referring to the whole soundtrack)
I honestly sat in mission select for half an hour listening to this in awe, then played more so I could here the rest of the phenomenal tracks, amazing job as always :)
Definitely worth it, it's superb! I really like how the music is louder or softer depending on where your character is in the level, though I don't know of that's your doing. Are you planning on doing a commentary with this soundtrack like you did with RoR's?
Hey Chris just want to say I still love dead bolt and I love the soundtrack I think you did an amazing job and it's my fave video game soundtrack of all time ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bought the game and the music just floored me, especially this beat. Literally stopped playing and danced to the music. Already picked up the soundtrack, outstanding job.
You the GOAT of vidya music in my mind Deadbolt and RoR are fucking amazing. It's rare I idle in a game and just listen to the tunes, but you make me do that every song.
Hi Chris! I just want to thank you and your music, it really helped me a lot last week, when I had to do some tests for my job, now I just have to get a final appointment and I should do the job of my dreams! so thank you a lot! PS : I just bought your music on bandcamp, I had to get it ^^
Chris, man. Your work is one of a few video game soundtrack artists that really inspired me to learn to make music of my own. Here I am coming back to this album after some time, still sounds just as good as it did the first time. Really can't sing enough praises of your work, so many beautiful tracks that have helped pull me so intensely into the worlds Hopoo has created. They wouldn't be the same without you. Keep doing what you do. Hopefully one day I'll have made some music of my own, there's no doubt in my mind it'll have influences from your soundtracks.
I got suggested this soundtrack on spotify and without even realizing it was a game ost I absolutely loved it. It inspired me to play the game and it was such a great decision because this game was one of the best sandbox games I’ve ever played. The game has such an amazing level of freedom with each level encouraging you to try different approaches to get through each level with a wonderful set of weapons and enemy types that really keeps the game fresh. The ost and gameplay combined this was genuinely one of my favorite games I’ve played this year. Thank you guys for the wonderful experience :)
Well my dude, a full year after the release of these tunes and I must say, you're gonna go places. Hell, one day I bet you'll be doing the soundtrack for Hitman. And I do mean it, good job man. And keep up the tunes!
Is it just me or this is the type of music that plays when you're at your 30s and just lit a cigar on a Friday afternoon at your local bar and you asking the bar tender the usual as he wipes the glasses and pour a drink for you after a long day of work at a minimum wage office
In all honesty, this is the first time a game has made me stop to look up the OST in all of its true glory in years. Damn good work my man. Pixelated murder never felt so smooth.
At first I was just waiting for the game. Then I found out Chris would be on the soundtrack job. I have never looked so forward to a game. I don't mind all the mission quits because I want no deaths when this is the song I'm always greeted with. Fantastic work.
I LOVE, just LOVE Deadbolt, found it somewhere but is was a pleasant surprise. Couple a' days ago i was casually browsing Bandcamp and OHMYGOD the Deadbolt soundtrack!. Every bit as good as the game, this thing is beautiful.
Just beat normal mode today and this was a blast! I remember Deadbolt about a year or two ago. I gave up due to a lack of understanding and frustration but after coming back I loved everything! It was a good time, and your music made the experience practically perfect. I'm gonna try to beat hard mode and it's gonna be pretty tilting but I know the music will make the experience easier. I really enjoyed Deadbolt and I can't wait to eventually try Risk of rain! (Also sorry about any extra notifications, RUclips bugged out!)
You are a master among musicians, I may not have played the game, but seeing your name attached to the music instantly let's me know the music will be stellar. Thanks for the hard work.
This song, and every other song you make, has such a distinct feel. They all sorta slowly layer on themselves, they all got that funky sound to em, and the way you do synth stuff just has such a unique feel. This came on in a spotify shuffle while I was listening to the ROR2 ost, and it was apparently one of *your* songs by the thirty second mark. Its so mellow, but the guitar just rips in and brings a real strangely soft dread to the piece. I feel at peace, but I also feel like I shouldn't. Its strange, and its something that a song hasn't really done to me before. I like it. Dont know how many ways I can compliment you, and all the wonderful people you work with. I hope you keep doing whatever makes you passionate- because thats the best way I can describe your tracks. Filled with passion.
Your listening to you DJ Reaper. while im not killing, im chilling, and sending the world some vibes to get you through the world. Sit by your fire place, hang with some candles, and sleep the sleep of living dead... (i tried by best to be reaper...)
I don’t think I’ll ever get over how much I love this album. How is every track so goddamn good? I was even excited for the stems to release so I could listen to my favourite parts isolated.
by far my favorite track of yours... love how the lead slowly dances away from the key, and the tones are just fantastic! the distorted guitar sounds almost like a thurman on crack.
HYPE. Dayum, man. I love the mellowness in this song. In fact..... I REALLY like this song. It's probably up there on my favorites. I'm excited to listen to some more of this OST in the future, if THIS is what we're opening with!
Chris Christodoulou Lol I just sent this video to my friend, aaaaannnndddd... He instantly said "I love this soundtrack, how much money do I need to throw at the game?" And then he impulse bought Deadbolt, and I don't even think he knows what GENRE deadbolt is. XD Needless to say, you influenced him to impulse buy a game that he knew nothing about, but... You also made sure that his purchase was a great one. I have high hopes for the game. Can't wait to purchase it myself. *EDIT* Turns out my friend is a little troll. He just spend money on The Division and decided NOT to buy Deadbolt... Yet...He seemed super hyped about Deadbolt.
+Zebo12345678 whoah whoah whoah m8. I actually bought The division much earlier today. About 5 hours before. I was right about to buy the game when i remembered that i had just spent 60 bucks earlier. I am still VERY tempted to buy this game however. ....must.....save....money.....eghhhh.....
okay please, how is that tone achieved in the final solo? its just too frickin’ sweet. i’ve been coming back to this song as a kind of home base for the past year and a half, and that last solo really takes me to another world lol. i would love to learn it, but know i’d struggle with getting anywhere near that tone lol
I just went to your channel to find some Risk of Rain OST to listen to, and now I find more awesome songs xD I've bought Deadbolt, and your music adds so much to the game's atmosphere - Fantastic work! :D

The music is simply flowing. Good vibes.
quick question to you. Someone who "creates" music is a producer, a composer or a musician
Guará All three potentially create music. The way I see it composing is a rather esoteric process that includes (but is not limited to) the organization of the sounds in a piece of music (melody, harmony, instrumentation, form, etc.). Producing has more to do with the final result and can involve things like sound design, mixing, creative effects, etc. In modern music making the two definitely overlap.

I LOVE, just LOVE Deadbolt, found it somewhere but is was a pleasant surprise. Couple a' days ago i was casually browsing Bandcamp and OHMYGOD the Deadbolt soundtrack!. Every bit as good as the game, this thing is beautiful.
Been a fan of your producing ever since Risk of Rain, you got da type of music i need. I show your stuff to my friends and they love it too!
Just beat normal mode today and this was a blast! I remember Deadbolt about a year or two ago. I gave up due to a lack of understanding and frustration but after coming back I loved everything!
It was a good time, and your music made the experience practically perfect. I'm gonna try to beat hard mode and it's gonna be pretty tilting but I know the music will make the experience easier. I really enjoyed Deadbolt and I can't wait to eventually try Risk of rain!
(Also sorry about any extra notifications, RUclips bugged out!)
You are a master among musicians, I may not have played the game, but seeing your name attached to the music instantly let's me know the music will be stellar. Thanks for the hard work.
Beautiful music man I have this and others of your music on my Spotify playlist
Great Work, you'll do great things, keep improving!
+Plagued Frost Are you implying that he hasn't already done great things?
Nope...
This song is just so good, so smooth, I love all of it
This song, and every other song you make, has such a distinct feel. They all sorta slowly layer on themselves, they all got that funky sound to em, and the way you do synth stuff just has such a unique feel. This came on in a spotify shuffle while I was listening to the ROR2 ost, and it was apparently one of *your* songs by the thirty second mark. Its so mellow, but the guitar just rips in and brings a real strangely soft dread to the piece. I feel at peace, but I also feel like I shouldn't. Its strange, and its something that a song hasn't really done to me before. I like it.
Dont know how many ways I can compliment you, and all the wonderful people you work with. I hope you keep doing whatever makes you passionate- because thats the best way I can describe your tracks. Filled with passion.
glad to see that you work again with hopoo, this song is so good !
Your listening to you DJ Reaper. while im not killing, im chilling, and sending the world some vibes to get you through the world. Sit by your fire place, hang with some candles, and sleep the sleep of living dead... (i tried by best to be reaper...)
Khai Coleman that reminded me of the Screams' rapping from Scary Movie 1 :D
cool! :D
I somehow read this in a smooth Dave Fennoy voice....
I don’t think I’ll ever get over how much I love this album. How is every track so goddamn good? I was even excited for the stems to release so I could listen to my favourite parts isolated.
Awesome tune! I'm addicted! The keyboard solo on 1:34 is killing!!! Great vibes!
by far my favorite track of yours... love how the lead slowly dances away from the key, and the tones are just fantastic! the distorted guitar sounds almost like a thurman on crack.
I love this, it's got a film noir vibe to it that fits the themes of the game really well
such an underrated gem, im hoping for deadbolt 2
its always good to hear your new stuff Chris, keep up the amazing work :)
"Look upon your reflection" said the fireplace. "and remember that you are different. You are not undead."
this game and its ost is the only thing that have proven to me that love at first sight is a real thing
i would play this game again just to listen to the music
solid work. the whole soundtrack is just amazing
HYPE.
Dayum, man. I love the mellowness in this song. In fact..... I REALLY like this song. It's probably up there on my favorites. I'm excited to listen to some more of this OST in the future, if THIS is what we're opening with!
Chris Christodoulou Lol I just sent this video to my friend, aaaaannnndddd... He instantly said "I love this soundtrack, how much money do I need to throw at the game?"
And then he impulse bought Deadbolt, and I don't even think he knows what GENRE deadbolt is. XD
Needless to say, you influenced him to impulse buy a game that he knew nothing about, but...
You also made sure that his purchase was a great one. I have high hopes for the game. Can't wait to purchase it myself.
*EDIT*
Turns out my friend is a little troll. He just spend money on The Division and decided NOT to buy Deadbolt... Yet...He seemed super hyped about Deadbolt.
+Zebo12345678 whoah whoah whoah m8. I actually bought The division much earlier today. About 5 hours before. I was right about to buy the game when i remembered that i had just spent 60 bucks earlier. I am still VERY tempted to buy this game however. ....must.....save....money.....eghhhh.....
> > > > > What scale did you use at 1:33?
Thanks a lot!
Mostly based on F dorian (because it has both Fm and Gm triads), using G dorian too (A and E naturals), mixed with plenty of chromatic freedom :)
when i here this music i feel like i cant control my body anymore this is awesome dude !
Mission accomplished! Thank for this comment, love it!
Haha, sorry if you tried to understand what I wrote.
I was pretty young and my spelling/Grammar wasn't that decent...
Wait woah. Are these new thumbnails in relation to the "upcoming projects" Hopoo has in store for the future?
okay please, how is that tone achieved in the final solo? its just too frickin’ sweet. i’ve been coming back to this song as a kind of home base for the past year and a half, and that last solo really takes me to another world lol. i would love to learn it, but know i’d struggle with getting anywhere near that tone lol
Outstanding.
A truly great OST for a truly great game.
this hits so damn smoothly each new listen
I just went to your channel to find some Risk of Rain OST to listen to, and now I find more awesome songs xD I've bought Deadbolt, and your music adds so much to the game's atmosphere - Fantastic work! :D
Don't worry, I've just subscribed today! :D
AMAZING
This is absolutely astounding!
I like how abusive the end solo was, your guitar is a legend for enduring so much punishment for such an incredible song.
I mean this in the best possible way
Because the attacking the guitar has been a running theme in the risk of rain albums in a few spots haha love it
I mean, I hate to say it but the end solo is actually not a guitar :)
this game and the hotline miami series have my favorite OST's. i love the style.
