WE ARE READY@@GamingWithRJ.
Was about to ask, War Without Reason may be my favorite track in the entire game, and THAT’S saying something!
I love my alarm breakcore :3@@grantowens7537
My favorite bit of trivia about the game is that Hakita actually forgot to give Gabriel a theme in Act 2. Less than 24 hours before Act 2 *released to the public*, Hakita theorized, planned, and made Death of God’s Will, and added it to the game a mere 4 hours before release of Act 2. And supposedly, he vomited afterwards from the stress and anxiety.
I Loooooooove anxiety vomit :)
When was this mentioned? I literally had to listen to Death of God's Will again and I literally don't believe that, it's too good??? /srs
@@teaganwillier-lauck638 i cannot for the life of me find where hakita said it so this is gonna sound farfetched but he did indeed pump the song out 24 hours before the act released! however, he put the MIDI or work in progress version of gabriel's theme in the game before replacing it with the finalized version of death of god's will a day later. god bless game devs
@@saltmansodahe said it on the discord
And here I was thinking Project Aces were the only one to pull off the "one last soundtrack" maneuver.
I think I should get Ultrakill.
When Minos Prime says “Die,” it is a subtle nod to how he is going to kill you.
Wait really? I never noticed that because I've never died to Minos 👀
When Sisyphus Prime says “Be gone.” it is a subtle nod to how he is going to cause the absence of your life, therefore causing it to be gone.
this is best observed on violent difficulty
damn yall get to hear minos prime voicelines?
Im still stuck with flesh prison
youre almost there, I swear!@@hypotheticalneutronstar
The whole OST will either:
1. Make you feel like the most baddass mf alive
2. Give you crippling depression
I haven't hit the depression arc yet, I be bumpin this shit in the car, takin turns at 40 mph
Yea if you get good enough at the game you get depressed everytime you fight minos because he dies before the requiem motif plays
lmao that is not me, I think I'm pretty good at the game, but Minos has continued whooping me after I started practicing@@BatuhanDere
@@DJCerealSauce6455 well i got too good and im clinically insane now. I uploaded the game on school pc network and play it if i can. To the point where my classmates who only watch tiktok and play sports are slowly giving gaming a try
Minos' theme does both
8:58 "The good news is that I wont get copyrighted for using these songs becasue the motherf**ker died in 1918" is the most out of pocket thing I have heard in a while
YOU'RE GONNA LOOK AT ME AND YOURE GONNA TELL ME THAT IM WRONG?
Yes.
@@DJCerealSauce6455you weren’t wrong but goddamn was the delivery was so out of left field.
@@DJCerealSauce6455why did I read that in a Gabriel voice
@@DJCerealSauce6455😂based
im pretty sure that according to Hakita, V1 is not the main character, Gabriel is, we are just that side antagonist that accidentally changed him personality wise completely by just beating the shit out of him for fuel
Y'know what, that makes the story even cooler than it already is
V1 isn’t the main character.
V1 isn’t even an antagonist.
V1 is the fucking conflict.
@@randomlittleidot this goes so hard
You know it would be really cool to have a dlc or something where you play as Gabriel to see what he was doing in between acts
@@bigimp3018
He was "Fighting a fucktillion machines"
Tenebre Rosso Sangue isn’t just a song for me. It’s a fucking experience.
And that experience is probably one of the best that I can possibly ever how.
Every. Single. Time.
This comment goes hard man, I have a physical bodily reaction when this song comes on that leads me liable to crashing my car if I play it
Time has been persisting for 2.5 Billion years or something, and I happened to be existing within the 10 or so years for TRS, lets fucking go@revolverjesus98
It is a piece of music that stands alongside only a select few songs in video game history. Songs like Bury the Light that are benchmarks of musical quality in the industry. It is nothing short of phenomenal.
44:28 You're actually on point here. In the Divine Comedy, circles 1 to 5 are considered "Upper Hell", where sinners that didn't actively seek to harm others are punished. Souls there are in a bad place, but not actively tortured. Circles 6 to 9 is "Lower Hell" and that's where true punishment begins since sinners in those circles did try to cause harm to others.
I actually didn't know that to be the lore accurate meaning behind layers 6 and beyond, thanks!
@revolverjesus98 apart from limbo, those are just torture
@revolverjesus98 4th circle was actually just wasters and hoarders rolling boulders (or huge bags of gold in some interpretations) against each other. The molten gold thing was an invention of the EA game because otherwise the level would be rather dull.
6th circle was being entombed in a grave filled with hellfire, the punishment you described there was reserved for blasphemers in the third ring of Violence (7th circle)
And 8th circle featured much more.
@revolverjesus98 That was specifically for fortune tellers and false prophets in Fraud
@@eduardodiaz9942 it was quite an ironic punishment as the fortune tellers and fake prophets had to guess where they would step next considering what they did while still alive.
"What kind of idiot would watch an hour long video about the ULTRAKILL ost at 3am??"

35:58 he protects his ship due to how Gabriel “saved” the ferryman from the endless seas of wrath due to their faith. The ferryman even has his Fancam Edit of Gabriel in the ship; the idol is also an appreciation of Gabriel and is given “life” by the holy cloak that Gabriel gave the ferryman so breaking it would reasonably piss the ferryman off.
FANCAM EDIT KILLED ME 💀, but yeah this is actually more accurate than what I was spouting, and again, I think I deserve that for just destroying someones property
@@DJCerealSauce6455if theres only 10 likes, im one of them
There are multiple ferrymen though.
In the canon of the game, isn't the ferryman in 5-2 the only ferryman until you kill him? Or are we legitimizing the ferryman in P-2?@@reaperlod
@@DJCerealSauce6455i feel like its the same situation with all the other reocourring enemies considering ALMOST every enemy is a living breathing human doomed to hell in which i think the ferrymen are people sent to hell but were always a worshiper from day 1 ig in which hell would realize this and turn said human into a ferryman, yes hell gives you an enemy based on if your actions were famous or you did little to no actions that were witnessed. it's kind of complicated
"Or you have some sort of masochism problem and you think of"
*ORDER*
*TENEBRE ROSSO SANGUE*
Yes. I do think of those two, thanks for informing me of my issues
I’m an empath :3
Where *WAR*
Something interesting I had noticed: in the weezer room for P-2, I think the music playing in the background used a Shepard's tone. Explained most simply, it's an auditory illusion where it sounds like the pitch is endlessly increasing, and I think this was chosen for that room because of how sudden it is and it reflecting the relentlessness of the enemies in this level - as well as the perfection and dedication it demands. I find that this is really effective at inducing anxiety to the player; the fuzziness of the texture, the fluctuating volume, and this is meant to be only the beginning. What an introduction.
I should have assumed there was a name for that kind of illusion, that is actually so sick when I think about it, but also
Microwave go brrrrrr
What even is the name of that “song”
@@helpme165 buddy holly
i love that we call the p2 cerberus room the "wheezer" room

I played 50 hours of ULTRAKILL with 0% music. Instead I was listening to 50 hours of arguing with my friends about politics and what color of fish tastes the best.
I beg your pardon??
very obviously purple
@@crazygamecrafter8830nahh , red fish taste best
na blue fish is easily the best
I played 683 hours with music you fucking nonsense human being
The music during the drop in 6-1 was one of the most viscerally epic moments I’ve had in a video game.
Love this, love everything about this, it's like one of the best songs for probably the best gauntlet/arena level, and it SHOULD have that feeling
the drop on 6-1 is one of the coolest experiences in any videogame, from the build up, to the music, suddenly the screen turning a bright red. It's so fucking cool
When V1 fights, all he sees is red, and 6-1 gives it to you in spades@@Kaiser25
Altars of Apostasy my beloved
I always wanted to play ultrakill but I never could as I sucked at it
But then a few months ago I went back ( just when the layer 7 update dropped) I got through v2 , i got through Gabriel and I also got through the ferryman
I entered heresy, got to that arena THAT MUSIC AND MY JAW DROPPED ! I was finally playing ultrakill , im effortlessly killing everyone YESSSS then a cerbrus killed me lol
I like how he refers to the band that made the music "the team" as if it's not just Hakita alone
I waft in between calling single people a team and calling a team a single entity and a team a single person, it all get's very confusing lol
The voices help Hakita, the whole team is there!
Hakita is at his best when he hasn't taken his schizo meds yet @@minithegameguy4674
"wow!!! a cool soundtrack about the tragedy of hell with an impressive solo composer!!!!" -----> :D
Keygen church and meganeko are also there, hakita also borrowed clair de lune from debussy so he's technically a composer, some of the songs are remixes of bach's music so like debussy technically a composer so it's not only hakita
edit: also did I forget health? (a whole band consisting of 3 people made a cybergrind song called hateful) and quetzal tirado who made the saxophone for deep blue and a bit of his saxophone solo of chaos actually making it into the ost and made the sound effect for the sisyphean insurrectionist horn
conclusion: debussy, bach, quetzal tirado (all 3 technically), meganeko, keygen church also composed for the game
You're not in Minos's corpse's guts. Hakita himself said that his mouth was a portal to the next layer of Hell, which is just the Gluttony layer.
seems like a bizarre transition point, but I won't knocck him for it
@@DJCerealSauce6455hakita explained before that the geometry and structure of hell is very non euclidean
I mean yeah it makes sense, there's obviously no real way to make all the layers of hell flow together like that, so this is a totally valid explanation. After some thought I've realized that a part of this whole bit was me trying to make a joke at the expense of the peoples perceptions of me. I knew at the time that I was recording that layer 3 was not actually IN King Minos, but I really wanted to make those 2 out of pocket jokes, so I did them. Little did I know, people thought I was serious which is not to their fault lol@@daktotathecolossus7404
Isn't P-1 actually inside Minos?
@@reaperlodnope. The flesh prison(s) were made outside of the husks.
Ultrakill has SINGLE-HANDEDLY altered my main production genre. Even when I’m making music I can’t stop Ultrakilling. I’ve downloaded countless amen breaks, tried my hand at making my own P-3 fan OST, the works.
Ultrakill as a game, and Ultrakill as an OST are absolute masterclasses in entertainment
You and me are on the same wavelength lol
Fun fact about the track Halls Of Secreligious Remains, it plays during your second ever encounter with the Hideous Masses. The first time, Catle Vein was playing, in the level Halls Of Sacred Remains.
So far that’s two-for-two on the Castle Vein motif accompanying the Hideous Mass. Makes me wonder if there’s gonna be a third occurance in Act III?
wait what? I'm hopping on to check this right now
Masterpiece. I do have to add that “Tenebre Rosso Sangue“ actually means “Dark Red Blood“ or “Red Dark Blood“. However, “Blood red Darkness“ is one of the coolest things I have ever heard, so we should petition to have the name changed to “Buio Rosso Sangue” (Blood Red Darkness)
Thank you google translate for being so blatantly wrong, but spitting out the coolest name ever
@@DJCerealSauce6455i was gonna correct you because when the song came out i google translated it and it gave me dark red blood, but them i checked and now it's blood red darkness. So i changed for some reason.
Honestly I don't trust google, I trust the power of the italians, and I think dark red blood makes more sense, but I now think Blood Red darkness sounds cooler lol@@thealdoc
Italian here;
Tenebre is like dark fog, something you can't see
Rosso sangue Is literally red blood, so blood red darkness is the literal translation, cool af if you ask me@@DJCerealSauce6455
more than "buio" it's better to choose "oscurità", adapts it more
Dude, it's not just good to me. It's goddamn insane. It legit inspired me to learn how to produce music. Also I don't see many people doing a full reaction of Ultrakill's soundtrack, so this was nice. Keep up the good work!
Bless you sir, I was lucky enough to already know how to produce before getting into this (for that one dumb ass joke), but I wish you many successes in your future in production!!
nice username lol
As someone who has 1,000+ hours on People Playground, Scrap Mechanic, and Terraria, and with 0 hours on ULTRAKILL, I think this games soundtrack is about 4th in my favorites.
I mean, that's a pretty impressive for having 0 play time lol
@@DJCerealSauce6455 To be fair, people playground doesn't have a OST, just unnerving ambient noises.
@@meltedlawnflamingoalbeit very unnerving and well made ambient noises
People playground has ost?
45:36 I literally did cry the first time I listened to altars of apostasy, this song is so fucking beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time
YOU ARE MY PROOF, this shit is so beautiful
@@DJCerealSauce6455 Thanks, I appreciate it! I genuinely think this track is in my top 5 in the entire game, even going up against titans like Order and Death of Gods will. It reminds you that you’re not on some pleasure cruise, you are descending deeper and deeper into hell, possibly with no chance of ever getting out. It’s also really helped me get through some tough times recently lol
Damn... I ain't realize the music was THAT powerful, even though I think I consider Altars to be a titan@@kingcyrusrodan6772
@@DJCerealSauce6455 Lol yeah
Nah i cried when i saw those hideous masses
Wtf the quality of this is so clean why does it have so little attention. Your commentary is so interesting and entertaining, as well
It's only been a day which might explain it lol, but I'm glad to hear that my style of commentary is enticing
that’s why he’s the milk
Fr (though as of writing its at like 22k which, while a lot, is still underrated for this quality)
Duel and Sands of Tide made me pick up guitar again after like 5 years of not playing. Now I'm into Jazz and Bossa Nova, a weird leap from a metal OST but the music theory behind a lot of the songs are so interesting.
Like, I didn't even realise that Order was in 3/4. From one review of the OST (the music teacher one) the reviewer used the word "E Phrygian" and it got me hooked instantly.
Ultrakill is a more powerful medium than I think any of the team members understand, that's awesome that you're back into guitar, regardless of what you're working on now!
There's also many more interesting time signatures that I noticed in the soundtrack, but of course i realized them only AFTER i completed and uploaded the video lol
I actually love *_"A Complete and Utter Destruction of the Senses"_*
I think most of us do, but it's so offensive, thus making it a good punching bag for a joke
@@DJCerealSauce6455 It matches our brain waves
its not good for listening, but it fits the situation youre in inside the game
@@Fishii444 I have actually never played the game, I just listen to some of the Ost every so often. All of the songs are *bad* to listen too... sitting. If you need to move and do something quickly i highly recommend this song 😅
Idk if anyone else has said it or noticed, but while listening to Death of god's will on repeat, it occurred to me that the orchestral elements and synth/electric elements are almost in opposition, as if the track itself represents V1 and Gabriel's brutal conflict. The way it ebbs and flows, with each "side" taking the lead from each other, much like the actual fight
Hold on wait, this is fucking genius, I need to relisten to this song, will report back
@@DJCerealSauce6455 ... Damn. Bro didn't report back.
@@FungusFindersBeware honestly, the main place where I see this back and forth is during that really brief downtime right after the violin crescendo. In the edited version with Gabriels voicelines it woud be right as he's saying "is this what I lost to" and then it does that thing, someone described that as V1 finally getting a hit in on Gabriel that makes him feel something
it's gonna be corny, I know, but I cannot BELIEVE how good this video essay (or documentary) is, I have never seen a video so good to give me proper goosebumps and get me glued to the screen, it passed like a breeze and it was so worth watching, THIS is the kind of content that I try to find when looking on RUclips, THANK YOU
Hey man, i don’t think it’s corny, but whether or not it is doesn’t matter. It’s important for people to find the things they viscerally enjoy, and I’m happy that this ended up being one of those things for you :)
57:42 the best way ive heard described this song is PURE POWER it feels like blasting throuugh the gates to a fortress at full tilt
As soon as the drop hits, V1 just kicks down the doors to hell
"Into the Fire" is, hands down, the singular best first level song ever made. It's actually my favorite in the whole soundtrack.
As I get older, I agree with this more
It's one of my favourites too! it's probably the reason I got so interested in the soundtrack and the game itself
THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! IVE BEEN LISTENING TO THE SOUNDTRACK OF ULTRAKILL FOR MANY MONTHS BECAUSE ITS SOO INSANE
AND FULL OF DETAIL, THANK YOU!
YOU ARE MY PEOPLE!!
Gabriel in 9-3's theme is gonna be FUCKING CRAZY DUDE like you know he's gonna like play his swords like a bass guitar or something when you are getting to him.
If I walk into the 9-3 arena and Gabriel is playing the BGM on his sword, I'm going to lose my shit 💀
Gabriel becomes madness combat REAL!?!?!
"Now peep this organ solo, machine."
Also sisphus theme can smoothly transition to Minos theme and sounds very nice aswell.
Now this is one of the things I can safely agree with because I've heard this, shit goes hard
@@DJCerealSauce6455 I think the vid was called war but order drop kicks in, my memory ain't really that good.
Playing Duel and deep blue back to back is absolutely mint
honestly man, they really dehydrated me only to rehydrate me, spongebob style
no it’s dancer in the darkness to duel to deep blue to he is the light in my darkness to death odyssey to death odyssey aftermath to abyss and the serpent
it just keeps going and going until it stops@@hypotheticallyenov5594
How did you not talk about the song that plays during the scene where Gabriel takes out the council? I it works so well with the dialogue and imagery, if you read the text at the right speed the way the song ramps up as the scene gets more intense is actually genius and I don’t see anyone talking about it. I know it’s not a custom song but the use of classical music throughout the game is so good and most ppl focus on Claire de lune and the lead up to both Gabriel fights but this section is probably my favourite.
Honestly that specific part of the song is sick as hell, I just didn’t have the timing right to fit it in
I thought this had 500k views, not just _500_ . This needs more attention.

It's almost like I made this video specifically for this point :P
Thank you for the kind words, and I hope to keep up this quality for the future
Also, if you search up DJ Cereal Sauce on streaming platforms, you'll find more like it if you're into that :)
Ultrakill is if NUH UH was a game. It's amazing.
And also “it’s not a bug, it’s a game mechanic, we swear”
Fun fact that I don't know if you knew but Hakita wrote "The Death of God's Will" only a few hours before act 2 released because he forgot to make a song for the boss fight. :)
I remember hearing about this, but knowing that he forgot to make one is fucking hilarious
Leitmotifs from all over the first chapter are in Order and the same can be said for War. Truly f***ing incredible. Especially the requiem and sands of time motifs.
If I was a more technical musician, I probably would have picked up on more of these, but it's still fucking hard as hell!
ULTRACHURCH is actually an early version of what eventually became Tenebre Rosso Sangue, and it's also inspired by Running From Evil from Doom 2.
You’re telling me they took an early access track for a different track, and then made THAT BANGER TOO???
With me being a musician in college, I had to learn to appreciate music from many different genres. Not just the Bachs and Beethovens and whatnot, but multiple genres. Some of which I’ve never heard of.
Ultrakill’s OST, as you said, is a delight. The first song I was introduced to was ORDER during a drive back home when my brother was playing it.
With me having Perfect Pitch and all that good stuff (side note, Perfect Pitch is a curse) I was identifying key changes throughout the entire song as well as the time signature (3/4 time, E minor, G minor for a bit, back to E minor, then back to G minor and then to B flat minor). When the B flat minor section hit (the Requiem motif) I was thinking to myself “That is tragic desperation. Like you must avenge those that are lost”. At the time, I didn’t know Minos’ story, it was just a good song to listen to.
I guess to answer the whole emotional perspective that Marco is able to determine is that it’s something that you can’t really force to determine. It’s something that just comes and goes, it can ebb and flow, it changes with time. After all, art (music, visual art, acting, and even literature) are expressions of an emotion or multiple emotions.
god youre so fucking smart what the heck 😅, glad to see someone like you in this community
Tenebre Rosso Sangue and "The Gauntlet" to me always felt like the peak of V-1 and the players journey through hell so far. By now you're a bloody manmade nightmare, and now your enemy is an army of some of the most powerful creatures and machines you've ever fought, and as the song goes on and you progress through the level you just continue tearing through enemy after enemy until you eventually reach the final encounter where your speed has to match the song itself to beat the most difficult combination of enemies imaginable.
At least, thats how it feels when you're not dying every 10 seconds to the 2 mindflayers.
I love this song.
Yeah, the song would be WAAAAY more epic, if I wasn't awful and kept dying all the time
a complete and utter destruction of the senses is my favourite track tbh, I love how it tickles my ears and helps me concentrate at work when I listen to it at max volume
you will not convince me you actually listen to CAUDOTS at full volume to help you concentrate, you simply won't
1:06:06 - its really nice to hear someone else talk about the insanity that are these drums lol, i spent like two months trying to arrange them 😭
yeah dude I aint fucken with those drum sequences
1:11:12 Fun fact the cybergrind is actually canon it is said that the terminals you use not only have emotions (or sentient) but they put you into a game of a sort the Robots where the robots can train their skills, they have to plug in a cable to practice. which is really cool, Good job hakita you have created a amazing game
5:17 bro you went through the effort of editing that literal blink-and-you'll-miss-it effect, underrated as hell

shh 🤫 don’t reveal my secret
I would just like to add something about 5-2 (the ferrymen in particular).
You said that you wondered about why the ferryman was so desperate to protect the boat and suggested fear of Gabriel's punishment, but it is actually the opposite. In the first room with the idol, there is a book next to said idol. The book is the diary of a ferryman in which he describes how Gabriel came down to him and told him the words that we see the hologram say in the next level. This moved him so much, that he now acts out of a blind devotion to Gabriel, instead of a devotion to God/his job. He closes the entry with "Radiant is Gabriel, for he is the light in my darkness", hence the name for the track.
This is further supported by the terminal entry, in which it reads that the cloth over ferrymen's heads was given to them as a symbol of their devotion to god. Because of mankind now dying there is no more need for them and they aimlessly wander the layers of hell, with Gabriel being the only one to appreciate their services. They hope desperately for the angels to give them passage into heaven, but we as the players know that this will never happen. Or maybe, Hakita throws every story element up until so far out of the window and has us open heaven somehow, fulfilling the wishes of the few ferrymen that remain. I'm going to be honest, this only makes the ferrymen so much more tragic, hoping for a salvation that will never come and either being led on by Gabriel or V1 coming between Gabriel and his promise of saving them.
Anyways yeah that was about it, if I find more tidbits about the lore I might update this comment idk.
(Also you called Minos a god which I know might've been a figure of speech but he's not a god at all, he's just a regular human with a really strong will. Also, Gluttony doesn't take place in his corpse. Common misconception.)
The weird thing is that despite me knowing that before making the video, I definitely did not make it clear that I understood that. It was a weirdly ignorant thing of me to say but it makes much more sense when you consider the fact that Ferryman is essentially saying "this is MY ship, there are many like but this one is MINE, without me, my ship is useless, without my ship, I am useless"
Also thank youi for the clarification on Minos not being a god lol, I actually didn't know that, for whatever reason
As for Gluttony, I'm sad for that to not be the case because thematically it would be cool, but I also recognize how stupid it would be for Gabriel to be at the bottom of the corpse of a guy he killed lol
I feel like you nailed the feel of the music in this game. Might be one of my favorite games ever, and I absolutely love the soundtrack. Great video
Hey man, I put a deceptively high amount of thought into this and I’m glad you enjoy it!

This game's ost is one of the greatest ost I've heard in my life, genuinely love every single level and the way it's themes reflect on the ost. My favorite by far is 6-1, I actually almost cried when I heard the motif for the first time... I still had like 400 hours in the game? the motif made me feel nostalgic of the first time I played 3-1, that amazing feeling of discovering a new challenge. The completely recontextualized that motif to me, it really makes me think of how far I've come with my skill in the game. (The motif is Glory's motif)
Amazing video, dude, I hope you go far
Also one more thing A Complete and Utter Destruction of the Senses IS AN AMAZING SONG
Yes, Yes, and Yes, I love seeing people who feel this passionately about a thing as I am.
I appreciate the kind words
I also love Destruction of the Senses, that's the joke :>
I think the fact that ACT III is not out yet is hinting at the possibility of Sex Update replacing the whole game
I don't know how I will feel if they replace Ultrakill Godfist Suicide with Ultrakill Sex Update
It's not called GodFIST suicide without a reason
Not a sex update, a fisting update
17:26 It has been stated that you aren't "in King Minos' guts, but rather this is the gluttony layer and the gate in his mouth was for a smooth transition out of the level rather than for lore.
I feel so betrayed every time someone mentions this :(
"ULTRAKILL's music is a fucking delight to listen to. Well, except for-"
*A Complete and Utter Destruction of the Senses intensifies*
i mean hakita wasn't wrong with the title lmao
The song sounds like overstimulation, and is easily my most picked on song, but even the most picked on song is still too fire 🔥

Also, pinning this in case someone needs a timecode
@@DJCerealSauce6455Cool!
The theme title 34:24 confused me to be honest.
😮
The first song I think of when I hear ultrakill music is the 5-S theme
Yeah, it has some bangers. Ultrakill was actually the thing that introduced me to breakcore. I like this style of music.
Also, it makes you feel like a TOTAL BADASS when you’re playing!
I’ll accept “some bangers”lol
I also fully accept that for a lot of people, the soundtrack only shines in the context of playing the game, as, to be fair, that is essentially what it’s meant for
@@DJCerealSauce6455 Just listening to it when I’m reading or coding is still cool, it makes me feel like I have more energy.
as someone who has over 300 hours on ultrakill and has 100% completed every save file slot multiple times over, i can confirm this is the way i felt about the songs in the game that i just couldnt figure out how to put into words, you explained it better than i could imagine explaining it. from the bottom of my ultrakill-addicted heart, thank you for making this video.
Bro. I GOT YOU!! Keep kicking ass, and we’ll see how many more hours you get once Act III comes out
i like how often everything surrounding ultrakill goes out of its way to remind people that hakita is a massive musical nerd
and that he's up there with his inspirations
BIIIIIG nerd behavior on his part, love it tho
This video fucking fire.
Underrated af. The editing is so good too.
I appreciate the kind words man, I will hopefully continue to bring things to the quality that y'all are expecting of me
10:40 that's a reference to the witness especially since the level's called "the witless"
I've never played The Witness, and I'd like to apologize, but now I know due to all you gracious commenters
@@DJCerealSauce6455 lol
Thank you FY page.
For me, I love choir, specifically if its used in intense tracks like the end bit for TRS or just heavy tracks in general. It elevates stuff like that by a lot for me.
It’s like “even the entire church is cheering me on… or maybe booing me, I can’t quite tell yet”
@@DJCerealSauce6455 it might be hell itself cheering you on in the context of Ultrakill lore, and with TRS, with Marcos explanation where it goes from some sort of sadness to pure rage, I feel like its more of how Sisyphus felt during his war on heaven, War being how he feels now.
160 FOV Or nothing.
NO, PLEASE LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE
What a hecking NERD! git gud 360 FOV or nothing lol
160 fov cured my depression
I personally perefer 125 FOV... it feels just right
40 fov is best
There is at least 2 références to Iron maiden in greed layer, first the Name slaves to power is a référence to powerslave (With both taking place in a désert With pyramid) and the night easter Can also be Seen as a reference to 2 minutes to midnight wich is in the powerslave album
"ah... Free at last" *_starts hearing the first notes to 'MURDER' by miricale musical_*
ANOTHER MIRACLE MUSICAL REFERENCE, I DINT GET IT 😢😢😢😢
@@DJCerealSauce6455 the whole album is on RUclips and I'm sorry for doing it again. It just hits me like a hammer every time I hear those notes cause of just how similar they are.
Correction. Not just the whole album, but miracle musicals ONLY EXISTING ALBUM!!
WHERE THE HELL ARE THE TREES⁉️🔥🔥
My anxiety went all over the place from staring at the player’s health changing randomly while hoping they don’t die lol
I play so dirty in this game, while hoping the boss doesn't realize I'm at 2 HP lol
Indie developers trying to not make a banger: difficulty imposible
Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Risk of Rain devs looking at you rn 👀
inscryption and madness nexus devs too@@DJCerealSauce6455
Whenever i listen to pretty much any song from the ultrakill soundtrack i get goosebumps and shivers. Thats how good the soundtrack is because that rarely happens when im listening to other music.
Also, tenebre rosso sangue could mean deep red blood in Latin. Either way both names are very fitting for the level
Google translate did not do me justice lol
I'm pretty sure 1-S is actually a reference to The Witness, a puzzle game with somewhat similar puzzles. It's just that the track for 1-S is called "Sanctuary in the garden of the mind", which could be a reference to one of the endings for The Witness where you are actually just suffering from diseases in a hospital and the gameplay was a ruse made up by your mind to distract you from your fate
You are probably the 30th person to correct me here, and you are right, thank you :)
you posted a video about ultrakill so the algorithm is about to bless you lol
God bless you ultrakill community and RUclips ❤️❤️❤️
45:19 love the movements and shots lining up to the notes that was amazing
Also this is a great video amazing job :)
that was genuinely a complete accident lol, but I supposed being musically inclined allows these kinds of mistakes to happen
Also thank you for the kind words!
17:04 The music sounds like it was made for a specific thing but then someone didn’t know it’s original use and misused it for intermission music for their game.
Yeah, I like to think of my music like that lol
The only video over an hour I’ve watched 3 times in a row. This video flows perfectly and I like the clips you put in. Also, I agree that ultrakill has the best soundtrack, with terraria’s calamity soundtrack in close second. What a top tier video.
Btw, if you still haven’t gotten that P rank on p-2, try switching your sharpshooter pistol to the normal version, as it gives you more shots that can be used to nuke malicious faces or just instakill fodder enemies. Also save your dashes and slide when you can.
A ton of people have been putting Terrarias Calamity Mod OST in the comments, also I'm glad that you've enjoyed it that much lol
I've been trying to get back into using normal sharpshooter, my only crutch is Slab Sharpshooter being really good for how I clear out the Weezer room@@christian1862
Didn’t realize how good versus and divine intervention were until I heard it a few times. I LOVE the guitar these tracks,they just go so hard, and they really fit in with where they’re placed in the game (I mean so does every other track, but these two stuck out to me)
1:34 bro is not autistic (he cant comprehend the forkoncetamicplatecore gene of music)
glad our tisms have aligned on this one, specifically ultrakill (our dumbasses bounce ultrakill off each other like crazy)
(also i find it funny how Ultrakill just annihilates any and all video's bitrates because its ultrakill)
Yes and yes Kirbus
I feel like blood red darkness represents the sheer desperation of the enemies in the level trying to stop you from reaching Sisyphus because they know, if v1 gets there, Sisyphus will break out of the prison, and if he beats v1, everyone is screwed
This is a pretty valid theory honestly, and that goes pretty hard too
@@DJCerealSauce6455 thanks
22:44 i think it’s also a refernce to iron maiden’s 1984 album powerslave (slaves to power) and if you look at the album cover it’s also a pyramid
This is 100% correct
very nice inversion, paying Gianni to say that was the last thing I though would happen
200 bits can take you very far sometimes lol
my favorite in tenebre rosso is the back to back organ part 1:00:51. its almost as if Gabriel from the organ room, summond 5 hands to slam the hell out of the keyboard out of pure rage. and still, somehow, made it even more heavenly. (not pun intended)
5 man Organ solo would be dummy evil
everytime a hard-ass electric guitar solo i unintentionally scream "aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH IMBUSINGGGGGGGG"
Honestly, I think it's the tism, but electric guitar breakdowns make me scitter and scatter uncontrollably
teebre rosso sangue got me back into playing piano,, lovely song but FUCK if it's hard to keep the right tempo when playing
Y'know what, that's a huge left turn that I wouldn't expect, but that's super cool to hear!
That was actually a really good well made video. I love how you take some time literally for evey song in game and i appreciated that. Good luck in making a futures videos
I appreciate the support mane, if I make something similar to this, I will definitely write out everything, so I don't spend like 30 seconds on 1 song, and 7 on another
The thought process when you first see the mindflayer was spot on.
Ultrakill players love the g r e e n robot, and then they kill you
fun fact: when you were talking about requiem and order having cross referencing (12:57) there is also another reference in glory that goes along with it, makes sense cause its the level you have go to go in order to get to minos.
Someone else pointed this out to me, I have not found it yet, but maybe soon
@@DJCerealSauce6455 ah, it’s near the very beginning before the piano part I belive
4:35 from wiki page: "Cerberus is a benchwarmer for the LA lakers."
Fun Cerberus Facts :D
1-1's level name is a reference to Yes's Heart Of The Sunrise, also a beautiful song that I love
I watched this video about 5 times by now. There's very few youtubers that are able to do that, great job :3
DANG! 5 times??? You’re absolutely insane!!
the video was so good that I watched it all the way through, it was really damn good. Great music btw
I appreciate the support on this video from you :))
I wish hakita would make layer 7 it’s own album because 7-3 is just a beautiful level but also has a beautiful soundtrack.
I'm pretty sure he's about to drop it within this next week or so
I like how the VA of Gabriel voiced almost all of his own memes.
I meeeeean, it pays well
gianni has always been a massive meme lord lol, almost everything in his channel is just shitposts. Finding out he voiced gabriel was the most surreal thing ever. "wait, they hired the funny meme guy to voice act for this game???"
@DJCerealSauce6455 And yet not many do that... The only similar thing I know is one Russian guy who voiced almost all of the Demon Slayer dub and Demon Slayer Abridged in Russian as well.
I actually love a complete and utter destruction of the senses. It's got such an interesting and harsh sound.
I think it's really well designed, the flaming is a joke
@@DJCerealSauce6455 reminds me of how one of daft punk's older tracks (using this as an example because I really like dp) got stereotyped as weird noise (it was very funny imo)
My senses are utter destructed
Hakita looked at ultrakill's soundtrack and just said: "may your bangers be many and your disapointments few"
I dont... I mean... actually, yes :)
10:55 this is based on The Witness, actually
23:00 this is also a Dune reference
Dune huh? A man of culture I see
I think this soundtrack is an absolute masterpiece! Tenebre Rosso Sangue is EASILY my favorite piece, and I'm trying to learn Versus Reprise on the guitar at the moment. I reeeeaaaally want to play the game itself one day, it looks so fun and I really enjoy looking at gameplay :) I have to thank my best friend for introducing me to the memes and the MUSIC!!! In the past three days i've probably spent more time thinking about Ultrakill than anything else. So yeah, great video!!!
Also, i need to ask: why does your interface look so different from all the other videos I've seen? is that a recent update that i just haven't seen yet? :00
No recent updates to my knowledge, it’s just a different hud in the games settings lol
Also I’m glad you enjoyed the video, I’m glad you enjoy the games soundtrack, and I’m hoping you have an excellent first gameplay experience!
i end up listening to the soundtrack while playing other games because it just slaps that hard
also the prime sanctum themes give me ptsd flashbacks
And THATS what I meant when I said “you’re a masochist” At the beginning
@@DJCerealSauce6455 ok just because i intentionally give myself trauma by listening to order and war does not mean i am a masochist
Minos prime is the definition of a true king.
I like my kings see through
I like, no LOVE this video, it's always 1 hour videos of commentary especially THIS because it talks about the OST which definitely deserves praise and be talked about
Also you just sound and remind me of Soundsmith (a tf2 youtuber) I just love the commentary alot (quite funny) i love it
an edit after watching this video, I had no idea you ONLY HAD a thousand subs, WAYYYY too underrated, too much
it really feels like the video was made by and for the entire community, new and old players.
this video is amazing and i cannot stress that it's not getting recognition it deserves (I do feel like ultrakill is underrated)
Bro there's like 4 other people who have said I sound like SoundSmith lol, I can kind of hear it, but it's hilarious how those 2 games don't line up even a little bit
Also thank you for the kind words :))
12:55 blud doesnt realize minos is the KING OF LUST!!
DONT YOU LIE ON MY NAME
