people have said this before, but this is the first time I've ever felt like this just CAN'T be from a roblox game. It's so high quality this is unbelievable
arch mage has to be paying this man heavily, naktigonis could be working for some popular non roblox games but he chooses to work for a little roblox game
@@lewmm i also think naktigonis is doing music for deepwoken so he has an even higher chance to get a position is a game like elden ring or smth, kinda like a job reference.
@@lewmm I mean I wouldnt say "little" this gaem can reach 50k active players and considering all 50k of those players payed 5 bucks for the game, imagine how much would play without the price? And 50k isn't even "little" its still massive.
I think most of the tracks are really good i just hate the default combat music. Its too ambient , i want something more active. I think L2 music is definitely a must-unmute though
the whole song, of course, shares themes from the killing wind / other layer 2 tracks. here are some other motifs I've found (or at least thought to have found) 0:35 oscillation 1:13 to sleep, dreaming , transitions into dies irae 1:22 unrelated but I fucking love everything that follows this point 1:45 the hammers call 1:51 the dies irae, a recurring depths motif 2:01 ^ here too 2:30 a scoundrel's reverie (this one surprised me) 2:39 symphony of strife / sin-smelted scoriae 2:49 lacrimosa dies illa (classic depths drums), they continue in variations 'til the end 3:32 dies irae :)
it gives me the same vibes as Delirium in TBoI, where the song is an irrational mixture of previous songs as the character pieces it together in a moment of frenzy
I can see it when I listen to this; being jumped my no-life max levels while I’m a freshie right out the doors of the Lordsgrove. As I try to run, threshers, Legion snipers, and hive mechs attack. The survival rate is low, and just a few hits from the max level will kill me.
You actually nailed this song, the role it has in layer 2’s aesthetic is so important and adds a whole new feeling and understanding of stress whenever you fight something
Deepwoken easily has the best soundtrack of any Roblox game I'm aware of. The music really makes the game extra special, and it wouldn't feel anything like it without it.
Any good game with a good soundtrack game pretty much wouldn’t feel anything like it without one. Tower defense simulator has lots of really good osts too but yeah I think deepwoken ost is so much better
while layer 1's combat theme was full of doom and suspense, this has so much more of an unhinged, "where am i?? what the hell is going on!?" Kind of feeling. Its so chaotic and terrifying, well representing the feeling of most who entered the second layer for the first time. while the first layer was risky, for the most part you knew what to expect. This, however, is something entirely new, unknown, and uncharted. you have no idea what could be around the next corner, but you know it may very well be the end of you. chaos and disorder rule this realm, and you have no other choice but to brave through the incomprehensible trials ahead.
Funny thing is L2 is a dungeon with a mostly linear path than L1 with an open world, both maps are equally rememberable tbh, you know what to expect in both
@@js_jack was talking about layer 2 mainly from the perspective of someone who hadn't experienced layer 2 in any way prior to entering it but yeah if anything its safer than layer 1 because of the existence of the the light hook.

I think a very essential part of this song, which most people tend to overlook, is how the track seem to absolutely *mock you* from the start 'till the end. It all really began at 0:32 where the chaos subsides and you attempt to grasp the area that you're in, only to be absolutely hit by the melody spinning all over the place in a laughing-esque progression, as if even the track itself is laughing at you for doing something as foolish as putting yourself on a silver platter for the Depths to retrieve with a golden spoon. The melodies that follows doesn't really help neither, moments of respite are few and far between, and the chaos never goes away. The tension, the screams, and the insanity, all coming together in a grand symphony of mockery, only to end in a melody that's ever-so-familiar. *Your efforts are worth nothing* , and to continue marching is to see to it that you will die knowing too little, and never enough. Though for us, I suppose it's better than dying peacefully, knowing absolutely nothing. Which is why I adore this track in particular. It's an organized mess of sounds that works well in tandem with each other, and portrays a very clear picture of our fear most primal. Though I simply wish I could've enjoyed it more if not for the kind of colorful people you tend to meet while playing this game.

I was just listening to all your musical pieces and suffered a heart attack when I saw a new video suddenly appear. I am so glad that I can now listen to this from an official source. Thank you for your contribution to Deepwoken community. Your music has a special place in my heart.
This song portrays so much intensity and chaos in every way I can think. Naktigonis does so well with making music fit a specific tone and it's honestly amazing how good he is. Please drop more of these OSTs. I'm genuinely excited for the next🙏
Gives me chills everytime.. These screams and voices are so perfect.. Imagine layer 2 irl your just there sitting frozen not knowing what to do and hearing voices form everywhere..
This Song Sounds lunatic in ITS own right, Like you've lost all sanity you Had and you have come to accept that you will die or persevere, but you have No Hope of both.
Layer 2 genuinely scares me the lore is just perfect when I read the dialogue of that one ignition union guy next to the lamp I never looked at carbuncles the same again
- writings of Apprentice Hero This is the third day without food. Chaser refuses to let us near the Ignition Union's settlement here. I understand we're at odds with the Union, but... I'm hungry. I'm cold. They have heat there, so I've been told. Their lamps, they can burn away the parasites. A few members of the expedition got fed up with Chaser, and tried to sneak away, but they weren't in their bunks the following morning. Maybe they did get away, and are staying with the Union now? Skeli told me the Union's settlement was along the ground floor beneath the bridges, marked by steam towers, but.. I heard it's dangerous. Bounders reside there. I don't know what to do.. I may just seek out the settlement myself. I need warmth. The fourth day has come. I'm growing weaker by the hour, as it becomes harder to move. I contemplated eating the snow, but.. I've already seen what happens to those it sticks to. But, I'm hungry.. so, so hungry. Maybe my stomach could handle it? I don't know if the eggs would be able to survive such conditions, or if I'd be sentencing myself to an earlier death. What choice do I have? To die slow hopelessly, or gamble a chance to live? I'll think about it more. If I'm unable to move far, then.. I suppose I'll try it. There's something inside. There's a whisper inside. There's movement inside. There's something wrong. There's something wrong. There's something wrong. There's something-
layer 2's music is genuinely some of the greatest music i have ever heard in gaming, glad to have discovered this absolute masterpiece of a game and ost
the insanity in this OST is SO well done its a combination of panic, insanity and a sense that you are out of your depth exploring such a place truly a masterpiece designed to make you FEEL the insanity and panic when you enter a fight its almost too well done
i love similar to how in layer 1's music the way the player perceives the music based on their experience changes, like how in layer 1's music usually gives chills to newer players, those who have had experience with the game find it comforting and calm. Similar to that this track is all over the place, representing the chaos, uncertainty, and fear during the first runs within the second layer. most people with more experience instead find it in a more invigorating battle theme rather than pure chaos, similar to getting used to the second layer and making sense of the chaos.
As someone who hasn't been 2 layer 2, this sounds like the owl hivemind for vision shaper's boss battle theme as it sounds like you are caught in one big illusion of mirrors and vision altering whirldwinds with the hivemind enjoying it. Even the name insomnia describes how it feels to be in the depths and how the owl is slowly draining what is left of your own mind as a visionshaper away
Naktigonis... You always find a way to give. You are WAY too underrated. Whatever setting the Deepwoken team asks you to do, you nail it. From the heartfelt feeling of being home, to being completely insane in a deep part of the depths, not knowing which direction is which, with monsters that will surely bring your demise, you make it all fit so perfectly. You deserve way more recognition for your work.
An excellent ost as always. It's possible to discern the Leit motif of the depth which makes us feel like we are about to wipe at any time. With it being more intense and as a bit of insanity to it, it really associates well with the enemies we encounter in Layer 2 which look almost like Eldritch horrors. This song complements the grotesque style of layer 2 ( For the monsters and the fact that snow is parasite eggs ) perfectly. You have a huge talent in music and it's so great to see that you make music for one of our favorite games. Thank you very much Naktigonis for giving our favorite game a music that reinforces so much the atmosphere. Side-note : I love the description
The whole song feels like a downward spiral slowly getting more chaotic as time goes on, and the little roars and groans in the background add to the eirie vibe, this song 100% complements the atmosphere of layer 2 the whole where am i and what is happening enviornment is perfectly depicted in this song and makes me want to purposely go in harms way just to jam to this. It also completely parallels the menu theme in both name and vibe, while the menu theme "to sleep, dreaming" is mellow and chill almost like a dream, insomnia is the complete opposite taking more of a scary/unsettling turn. 11/10 song its amazing how much detail went into a Roblox game🔥
I love the visual of the video, seems reminiscent of an eye, with veins straining the pupil, and the more "calm" sections of the song has the patterns more contained in the sound bar.
oh my godddddd this piece gives such dreadful yet aspirational vibes. not only that, but the visuals also amplify these affects ten fold with the intense shakes and flashes. good work man.
I really love all the chaos. The song itself just sounds broken, from the eye of a viewer it just seems like there's no pattern or symmetry AT ALL. If The Killing Winds was supposed to give me the feeling of "You're not supposed to be here," then INSOMNIA is the reason. Layer 2's whole ost so far has been phenomenal, and definitely some of your best works yet. The fact that I can get this feeling while not even under the massive pressure of being in Layer 2 and fighting whatever abomination I came across for this song to play speaks to your musical competence.
Ever since this soundtrack was leaked I loved it incredibly Its just a pure representation of how you don't know what's going on and you aren't supposed to understand, and it's all made into an amazing melody.
This is incredible. Deepwoken isn't half of what it is without Naktigonis, honest. This takes the adrenaline and insanity of the knowledge that you are about to face a fate worse than death over and over, and *shows* it. Your mind refusing to accept the fact that you are going to die here even while your insides are exposed right in front of your eyes and your limbs are mutilated. "This is all a dream... This could never possibly happen to me... I'll wake up from this nightmare! I will wake up from this nightmare! PLEASE WAKE ME UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE ALREADY!" oh you poor sinner are mistaken. You are about to be judged by sinners far worse.
I really like this, nothing pumps me up more than depths combat tracks Ethiron deafens the depths with its sheer presence while the kyrsgarde worship it in the background
A million views! Congrats, Nakti, you’re one of the most talented artists i’ve seen lately, and you totally deserve this. Can’t wait to hear more bangers while my sanity crumbles!
can we just talk about the description bro. The thought of ''The Hunted turning into the Hunter'' gave me chills, just imagine a lamb howling or a mouse eating a falcon
Man you add so much effort to these, you even always add the effort to the descriptions and now even the flashing lights warning with the morse code: "Deepwoken". Keep doing great songs that make the game so much better!!!
Infested winds with no guidance, blood spilled by betraying, voices in one's mind to be lost at any moment and a broken world with songs ever so near yet unknown! Haha.. keep your hard work above the clouds Naktigonis !! loving the corrupted touch, laughs and the insane amount of different instruments!!!
This combat music is insane, and it feels like something is chasing you. You can't see where it comes from, and you are feeling desperate screaming. Well done
I absolutely adore the flashing between light and dark as well as how the tendrils, or what ever the effects are shift in an instant at the start to perfectly create the sense of true terror
Nagt, i love your music, its so ominous when you furst enter the second layer like you know you are in too deep... But this, oh this gives me the chills
to me, here’s how i see the depths combat themes scyphozia: everything you’ve worked for is on the line. your life, your journeys, your connections, could all be severed with one mistake. this is especially true for pvp, you know that at the end, only one of you will remain. eternal gale: you might make it out alive, maybe. but if you do, you will not be the same. we all know deepwoken’s motif of “the song”. i see the song as an underlying truth, and those who know it, can shape its power into whatever they want. layer 1s them had a more organized song, and therefor organized power, making everything more clear. layer 2s theme is way more chaotic, driving a force to turn anyone truly insane. add ignition union origin
kinda funny how you describe it, mainly because layer 1 is what makes people insane (also its not because of yunshul). you dont get insanity in layer 2 because layer 2 is more "understandable" to the mind. while layer 1 is gravity defying, and generally defies any laws that the human mind is familiar one - which causes insanity.
naktigonis you literally are my idol and holy shit does this just show how good you are at music. you can tell how good this was made it gives me spider person from undertale near 1:35 and i can hear some of oscillation thank you for making just a masterpiece its crazy good.
Nah we as the deepwoken community don't deserve you, if not for your music I don't know if I'd be able to enjoy deepwoken as much as I currently am. I love you man.
He managed to harness true chaos into a melodic rhythm, although the sound isn't pleasing it certainly gives the correct effect. Fear. Most impressively he has managed to follow the rules of Atonal Music whilst keeping this song orderly. You are a brilliant composer Naktigonis. Not only this but there is so much hidden within the video. The morse code at the beginning under the warning says DEEPWOKEN!. There are also the melodies of his other songs implemented into the video, which I believe indicates the players life flashing before their eyes.
The Eternal Gale is a mystery to all of us but through what this song provides for us it allows for a tone of unhinged and insanity with it ending calmly with our original layer 1 theme but still have some uncertainty to it. The second layer is vastly different than it’s predecessor being that only the strongest may survive and showing no resemblance of our world like what we see in Scyphozia, It’s unknown and out to kill you no matter what you are.
came to layer 2 accidentally whilst throwing myself off the deep cliffs repeatedly after trying to get good at trial of one.... and oh my god the music of this place. certified bangers
Love the small details to this, especially near the middle. You can hear laughing during a break which you could say it's Chaser laughing since he does that a lot during the fight. For the other sounds I guess you could compare it something like a Bounder or any other unworldly creature in Layer 2. Overall great music for a Roblox game, really went wild with this and it sounds amazing!
you have 100% outdone yourself, this is my favorite deepwoken ost and it gets better every single time. terrifying enough already and we still havent seen the horror of the other 7 layers

I was just listening to all your musical pieces and suffered a heart attack when I saw a new video suddenly appear. I am so glad that I can now listen to this from an official source.
Thank you for your contribution to Deepwoken community. Your music has a special place in my heart.

Did you wipe? Normally when I have a heart attack, I out-heal it at a campfire or graceful flame.

This song portrays so much intensity and chaos in every way I can think. Naktigonis does so well with making music fit a specific tone and it's honestly amazing how good he is. Please drop more of these OSTs. I'm genuinely excited for the next🙏
Let it be noted that this song was made with the screams of freshies being chased by power 15 voidwalkers
The laugh was also made with said voidwalkers
Gives me chills everytime.. These screams and voices are so perfect.. Imagine layer 2 irl your just there sitting frozen not knowing what to do and hearing voices form everywhere..
This Song Sounds lunatic in ITS own right, Like you've lost all sanity you Had and you have come to accept that you will die or persevere, but you have No Hope of both.
@@TheTotallyRealRedMistisn't that kinda the point *shrug*
that's not snow..
Layer 2 genuinely scares me the lore is just perfect when I read the dialogue of that one ignition union guy next to the lamp I never looked at carbuncles the same again
fr
- writings of Apprentice Hero
This is the third day without food. Chaser refuses to let us near the Ignition Union's settlement here. I understand we're at odds with the Union, but... I'm hungry. I'm cold. They have heat there, so I've been told. Their lamps, they can burn away the parasites. A few members of the expedition got fed up with Chaser, and tried to sneak away, but they weren't in their bunks the following morning. Maybe they did get away, and are staying with the Union now? Skeli told me the Union's settlement was along the ground floor beneath the bridges, marked by steam towers, but.. I heard it's dangerous. Bounders reside there. I don't know what to do.. I may just seek out the settlement myself. I need warmth.
The fourth day has come. I'm growing weaker by the hour, as it becomes harder to move. I contemplated eating the snow, but.. I've already seen what happens to those it sticks to. But, I'm hungry.. so, so hungry. Maybe my stomach could handle it? I don't know if the eggs would be able to survive such conditions, or if I'd be sentencing myself to an earlier death. What choice do I have? To die slow hopelessly, or gamble a chance to live? I'll think about it more. If I'm unable to move far, then.. I suppose I'll try it.
There's something inside.
There's a whisper inside.
There's movement inside.

layer 2's music is genuinely some of the greatest music i have ever heard in gaming, glad to have discovered this absolute masterpiece of a game and ost
the insanity in this OST is SO well done its a combination of panic, insanity and a sense that you are out of your depth exploring such a place truly a masterpiece designed to make you FEEL the insanity and panic when you enter a fight its almost too well done
i love similar to how in layer 1's music the way the player perceives the music based on their experience changes, like how in layer 1's music usually gives chills to newer players, those who have had experience with the game find it comforting and calm. Similar to that this track is all over the place, representing the chaos, uncertainty, and fear during the first runs within the second layer. most people with more experience instead find it in a more invigorating battle theme rather than pure chaos, similar to getting used to the second layer and making sense of the chaos.
hey pookie! found you
As someone who hasn't been 2 layer 2, this sounds like the owl hivemind for vision shaper's boss battle theme as it sounds like you are caught in one big illusion of mirrors and vision altering whirldwinds with the hivemind enjoying it. Even the name insomnia describes how it feels to be in the depths and how the owl is slowly draining what is left of your own mind as a visionshaper away
your 7 layers off that one bud
Bro is in the 3rd layers 💀
Once again, another great song made by none other than Mr. Naktigonis! Keep up the good work.

oh yeah have a fun time at SAHcon
Naktigonis... You always find a way to give. You are WAY too underrated. Whatever setting the Deepwoken team asks you to do, you nail it. From the heartfelt feeling of being home, to being completely insane in a deep part of the depths, not knowing which direction is which, with monsters that will surely bring your demise, you make it all fit so perfectly. You deserve way more recognition for your work.
An excellent ost as always. It's possible to discern the Leit motif of the depth which makes us feel like we are about to wipe at any time. With it being more intense and as a bit of insanity to it, it really associates well with the enemies we encounter in Layer 2 which look almost like Eldritch horrors. This song complements the grotesque style of layer 2 ( For the monsters and the fact that snow is parasite eggs ) perfectly. You have a huge talent in music and it's so great to see that you make music for one of our favorite games.
Thank you very much Naktigonis for giving our favorite game a music that reinforces so much the atmosphere.
Side-note : I love the description
Wait till layer 3 bro

so you're telling me i could've listened to this fire beat when i accidently got to layer 2 as a freshie
You wouldn't have lasted long either way them enemies fr beat my rear end raw
@@hid2437 ayo 🤨
The whole song feels like a downward spiral slowly getting more chaotic as time goes on, and the little roars and groans in the background add to the eirie vibe, this song 100% complements the atmosphere of layer 2 the whole where am i and what is happening enviornment is perfectly depicted in this song and makes me want to purposely go in harms way just to jam to this. It also completely parallels the menu theme in both name and vibe, while the menu theme "to sleep, dreaming" is mellow and chill almost like a dream, insomnia is the complete opposite taking more of a scary/unsettling turn. 11/10 song its amazing how much detail went into a Roblox game🔥
I love the visual of the video, seems reminiscent of an eye, with veins straining the pupil, and the more "calm" sections of the song has the patterns more contained in the sound bar.
dude you’re a genius i didn’t even realize that wtf
also ties in with the storm (eye of the storm) and how it is eternal (insomnia, eye of the storm won’t close)
oh my godddddd this piece gives such dreadful yet aspirational vibes. not only that, but the visuals also amplify these affects ten fold with the intense shakes and flashes. good work man.
He really took "application of the song" to a higher level than the old world
I really love all the chaos. The song itself just sounds broken, from the eye of a viewer it just seems like there's no pattern or symmetry AT ALL. If The Killing Winds was supposed to give me the feeling of "You're not supposed to be here," then INSOMNIA is the reason. Layer 2's whole ost so far has been phenomenal, and definitely some of your best works yet. The fact that I can get this feeling while not even under the massive pressure of being in Layer 2 and fighting whatever abomination I came across for this song to play speaks to your musical competence.
everytime i listen to this i feel uncomfortably terrified but at the same time I love this song so much
Layer 2 is my favourite place in deepwoken, great lore,creepy surroundings, scary enemies and great soundtracks!
bro i got jumpscared so hard when the "screaming" part coincidentally came on when i was locked in combat with 2 bounders in firfire
Worth my time love how it's 1 AM and the name of the song is INSOMNIA
i listen to this when i feel like im going insane, the sounds just seem comforting at those moments for some reason
Ever since this soundtrack was leaked I loved it incredibly
Its just a pure representation of how you don't know what's going on and you aren't supposed to understand, and it's all made into an amazing melody.
I love how the sound track as well a the timing of the changing and flashing lights feel like you really are going insane
The bounder beating the shit out of you when this fucking bop at 1:20 starts
This is incredible. Deepwoken isn't half of what it is without Naktigonis, honest.
This takes the adrenaline and insanity of the knowledge that you are about to face a fate worse than death over and over, and *shows* it. Your mind refusing to accept the fact that you are going to die here even while your insides are exposed right in front of your eyes and your limbs are mutilated. "This is all a dream... This could never possibly happen to me... I'll wake up from this nightmare! I will wake up from this nightmare! PLEASE WAKE ME UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE ALREADY!" oh you poor sinner are mistaken. You are about to be judged by sinners far worse.
damn, that's one way to describe the feeling of wiping 😭😭😭😭
Seems like greed has driven this man into his demise

Most sane deepwoken player:

I really like this, nothing pumps me up more than depths combat tracks
Ethiron deafens the depths with its sheer presence while the kyrsgarde worship it in the background
A million views! Congrats, Nakti, you’re one of the most talented artists i’ve seen lately, and you totally deserve this. Can’t wait to hear more bangers while my sanity crumbles!
Probably the best composed OST in the game as of right now, it just feels so right in every aspect of it, awesome job dude
can we just talk about the description bro. The thought of ''The Hunted turning into the Hunter'' gave me chills, just imagine a lamb howling or a mouse eating a falcon
1:50 those creatures' sound in background just make this song into next level
it’s a dude screaming
The screams of people who wiped in layer 2
the way the original music is incorporated into the soundtrack is amazingly well done
Honestly this guy deserves a medal, a lot actually
i love how the beat of the song almost sounds like you can hear your own heartbeat, this is magnificent
Man you add so much effort to these, you even always add the effort to the descriptions and now even the flashing lights warning with the morse code: "Deepwoken". Keep doing great songs that make the game so much better!!!
Really?
Infested winds with no guidance, blood spilled by betraying, voices in one's mind to be lost at any moment and a broken world with songs ever so near yet unknown! Haha.. keep your hard work above the clouds Naktigonis !! loving the corrupted touch, laughs and the insane amount of different instruments!!!
The fact that you make your music by ear for the most part is amazing with all the works you've done
This combat music is insane, and it feels like something is chasing you. You can't see where it comes from, and you are feeling desperate screaming. Well done
bounder moment
Love how that motif you hear is The Song itself, but it's way more intense down here, like you're going closer to the sun's center.
I absolutely adore the flashing between light and dark as well as how the tendrils, or what ever the effects are shift in an instant at the start to perfectly create the sense of true terror
Nagt, i love your music, its so ominous when you furst enter the second layer like you know you are in too deep... But this, oh this gives me the chills
to me, here’s how i see the depths combat themes
scyphozia: everything you’ve worked for is on the line. your life, your journeys, your connections, could all be severed with one mistake. this is especially true for pvp, you know that at the end, only one of you will remain.
eternal gale: you might make it out alive, maybe. but if you do, you will not be the same. we all know deepwoken’s motif of “the song”. i see the song as an underlying truth, and those who know it, can shape its power into whatever they want. layer 1s them had a more organized song, and therefor organized power, making everything more clear. layer 2s theme is way more chaotic, driving a force to turn anyone truly insane.
add ignition union origin
kinda funny how you describe it, mainly because layer 1 is what makes people insane (also its not because of yunshul). you dont get insanity in layer 2 because layer 2 is more "understandable" to the mind. while layer 1 is gravity defying, and generally defies any laws that the human mind is familiar one - which causes insanity.
holy shit they added the origin
Dude I got news for ya
You'll never guess what
You’ll never believe this
When I first heard this during my Layer 2 expedition, I felt a deep sense of despair, adding to the battle against a new and unknown enemy.
honestly one of the best songs in the entire DW ost

Nah we as the deepwoken community don't deserve you, if not for your music I don't know if I'd be able to enjoy deepwoken as much as I currently am. I love you man.
all of the depths soundtrack is incredible ESPECIALLY LAYER 2 YOURE SO GOOD WTF
He managed to harness true chaos into a melodic rhythm, although the sound isn't pleasing it certainly gives the correct effect. Fear. Most impressively he has managed to follow the rules of Atonal Music whilst keeping this song orderly. You are a brilliant composer Naktigonis. Not only this but there is so much hidden within the video. The morse code at the beginning under the warning says DEEPWOKEN!. There are also the melodies of his other songs implemented into the video, which I believe indicates the players life flashing before their eyes.
the chaos of the video fits the sense of panic in the song. awesome.
also love how the leitmotif is incorporated!!
This song blew my mind! (literally)
bro didn't have enough knowledge🤯🤯🤯
SO WE REACH 1 MILLION VIEWS, CONGRATS NAK!!! I hope more and more of your songs get recognized and so do you!
The Eternal Gale is a mystery to all of us but through what this song provides for us it allows for a tone of unhinged and insanity with it ending calmly with our original layer 1 theme but still have some uncertainty to it. The second layer is vastly different than it’s predecessor being that only the strongest may survive and showing no resemblance of our world like what we see in Scyphozia, It’s unknown and out to kill you no matter what you are.
came to layer 2 accidentally whilst throwing myself off the deep cliffs repeatedly after trying to get good at trial of one.... and oh my god the music of this place. certified bangers
This actually sounds like I'm fighting for my life. Good work and I can't wait for the other soundtracks!
I’ll come back here in years and feel super nostalgic
Congrats on a million views, your style of music fits Deepwoken perfectly, without you this game wouldn't be what it is now.
Amazing work, I can't believe how well this song has manifested insanity, your work is mind blowing.
what i hear as i get stun locked aba combo straight up destroyed by the kyrsguards with their big juicy block breaking javelins
Tbh, this is one of the most menacing soundtracks I’ve ever heard. Amazing work you did, Naktigonis
Love the small details to this, especially near the middle. You can hear laughing during a break which you could say it's Chaser laughing since he does that a lot during the fight. For the other sounds I guess you could compare it something like a Bounder or any other unworldly creature in Layer 2. Overall great music for a Roblox game, really went wild with this and it sounds amazing!
you have 100% outdone yourself, this is my favorite deepwoken ost and it gets better every single time. terrifying enough already and we still havent seen the horror of the other 7 layers
The amount of times I listened to this during stressful moments
