I love how between "Double Fucking Rainbow", "You're Gonna Need a Bigger Ukulele", "The Face of the Deep" and now THIS, this has been solidified as the official "OH SHIT" theme of the series, which is made even more poignant by the usage of the game's main theme leitmotif in this particular composition. The rain has indeed returned, and oh, how it thunders! Much love, Chris! Amazing work as always!
i know that the double f***ing rainbow riff didn't really start out as any special theme, it only really became that when it became part of "you're gonna need a bigger ukulele", and then later got referenced in " the face of the deep", but let's be honest everyone kinda considers it the "final boss leitmotif kinda thing" at this point so you cannot imagine how happy i am that it kinda got retconned into the providence fight as well, but without just straightup replacing the original song, which i wouldn't have wanted but the buildup with what i consider the "risk of rain" leitmotif (the 4 notes that appear all over coalescence and various other tracks), also the sound textures basically uniting your old style from ror1 with the newer stuff from survivors of the void, up until that big reveal this song has it all this song is the culmination this song is risk of rain
It wasn't written as a "special" theme but it was my favourite theme ever since 2013, so it's not an accident that I revisit it constantly. Who knows, maybe we'll hear it again in the future...
As Engineer, deploying his Prototype Laser Turret at exactly 1:31 is the perfect timing for it to blast Providence as the music drops. I have become well practiced in the timing.
"I am now, as a matter of fact, about to fire my laser and by extension end this man's whole career." -Chad Engineer, head of the revolt against excessive cybernetics. "Today, we are all sons of bitches." -Laser Turret.
Was super hyped to hear this play during Providence’ new phase. Finally ties the 3 bosses together with a shared motif across their songs, here’s hoping it follows suit with the False Son…
Being COMPLETELY blind on the new game, but played 5 years or ROR1 and a ton of ROR2, and this hitting and a SUDDEN FOURTH PHASE? You guys found a way to bring back that "First time playing" feeling with this banger. I was so excited
When the green lasers show up and you see "You thought THAT was enough to kill ME?!" and you hear this, it's like a top 3 ror moment. the "OHSHITOHSHIT" that this motif brought so many times is back
Inarguably the most remarkable motif in the entire trilogy so far. From Double Freaking Rainbow, to You're Gonna Need a Bigger Ukulele, then to The Face of the Deep, now finishing with tremendous precipitation into this absolute master of a piece. Can't wait for even more versions of this legendary feeling that it gives to me.
OH MY GOD. I was caught so off guard by the new phase. I was so relieved to have finally beaten Providence and then the music begins to drum back up and... BWOOOOOOOOM FIRE EVERYWHERE! I LOVE IT! Your music helps bring even more life to the beautifully animated sprites. It is truly an exquisite combination, thank you Chris for the stunning iconic soundtracks of these games
Been listening to your music since ror dropped in 2013, this is my new favorite. When I first heard it I literally said "OH SHIT" out loud. Your music has always conveyed a lot of emotion and certainly made the game way more impactful for me. Love your work!
*Proceeds to beat the boss the first time* *Waits for credits* *The music begins to crescendo and sky darkens* *"DID YOU THINK ME BEATEN?"* *gets killed by the boss due to the unexpectancy*
Just saving this to my favorites playlist in advance. I loved the small samples of this track that we've heard, so getting to hear the full version will be just another highlight of my day. Edit: Damn that was cool. Hearing it in game was incredible, it really made me feel like a badass.
Ever since I first heard this in the original RoRR trailer, I have been eagerly awaiting its official release. And now since that day has come, I am beyond ecstatic.
This theme singlehandedly skyrocketed Providence as one of my favorite final bosses of all time. The fight itself was action packed, and was really fun, but then I get jump scared by that unexpected final phase, and this banger starts playing in the background. I love how this letimotif keeps reappearing, and how it connects everything together. Providence, Mithrix, and even Voiding all share this motif somewhere in there tracks, and it's beautiful how subtle, yet also obvious it is to connect them together And I saw somewhere that Chris said we may see the theme again, and I bet you it'll be in the theme for the False Son in SotS...
The ONLY negative thing about this theme, through all of the iterations, has been that by the time it gets to the hype parts either the boss is already dead or I am, and there is literally no in between with this game lmao. Absolutely amazing track as always though Chris!
This is actually some of the best music I’ve heard in my life. I discovered the ROR and DEADBOLT games because I came across the music and loved it so much that I decided to buy the games (usually it’s the other way around) to hear the music in its intended setting. You have been by far my favorite composer ever, I genuinely cried while listening to Coalescence after all these years.
Interesting to note that the magma worm on the cover art for ROR returns is actually upside down (the eye is on the bottom of the magma worms jaw) also Chris, your music is actually chillingly amazing. Since risk of rain the first, to now, every time you release music my jaw drops!! Keep up the amazing work! Can't wait for ror2 DLC!!!
This piece, much like Providence himself, moves with more purpose than any song that uses the Double Fucking Rainbow leitmotif. Then, it withdraws a bit, showing how enigmatic of a character Providence is to the Survivor at this point in time. He gets them wondering: who is this guy? Why was he so hellbent on bringing down the Contact Light? He moves with more purpose, but what is his purpose? And most of all, why does the Survivor feel like they've made a terrible mistake?... ...Why did they have a teleporter from Petrichor V on the ship?
I was so, so happy when I saw this released. More music from Chris is making me gleee. RoR2 was my favourite game soundtrack of the decade rivaled maybe only by Hunt Showdowns music. Eagerly waiting for more tracks.
I absolutely love those notes where it bends up or down to like 1/4 step. Don't know if that was actually the case but I just love that effect. It feels wild and primal.
My first time playing Risk of Rain one in any capacity was with this game, and the OST really took me by surprise. I knew to expect good things since I played RoR2 as well, but the moment around 1:40 really brought the tension during the final boss to 11. Very well done!
Personally, I like the original Double F-ing Rainbow more. It just has a more gritty feel to it than this one, and the slower BPM made it feel very heavy and tense. This one is almost too happy in comparison. Not saying it's bad by any means, just saying I prefer the original.
Arriving at Providence. Phase 1: He's got some new moves now, how cute. Phase 2: His sneks look so HD! Phase 3: Alright time to wrap this up and unlock Sniper for beating the game... ... ... ...why can't I click on the console to leave the planet? ... ... PHASE F**KING 4: Oh it's this track again... _STARTS TO PANIC_
I really didn't pay much atention to the "instruments" of RoR ost before, well, maybe just that "chainsaw guitar riffs" in the begining of Boat Made From a Sheet of Newspaper, as i call them, but this SCREAMING synth on 1:40 just... M-m, chef kiss. While player don't know what do with forth fase and screams in confusion, this track screams too, about that very danger in front of you, incomprehensive powerful being that just refused to die second time in a row and now starts blasting green lasers all over arena. And you better do something with it right now.
ngl, this was fantastic for the new 4th phase, i absolutely love how it has a similar contrast to the other major boss songs in the series and honestly fits well with how dramatic it feels lol
All the boss themes have so much personality ill write what I personally hear in them Double fishing rainbow makes me think of determination and victory through sheer will. Providence refuses to go down without a fight and a fight you will certaintly get. You're gonna need a bigger ukulele is more violent and grainy mithrix isnt happy to see you and fully plans on squahing this insignificant bug. It sounds of a cruel ruthless nature with the synth tying it together as something otherwordly that has no real place. The face of the deep is agressive it opens with the signature risk of rain boss synth which presents this grand behemoth before you. Then cuts to a low guitar sound with drums later pariing with a saxophone which cant be heard in any of the other sings showing how differnt this strange world yluve found yourself in is as it grows in aggresiveness as the song goes on it very much gives "you come into my house and tell me how to arrange my furniture" vibe. And it crescendos in the end with grainy guitar part that shows the voidlings panic as it runs out of places to run and has to stare down death in a last stand.
i beat Providence last night, and when this played as he got back up and started doing his own pizza cutter i started freaking the fuck out, never in my life did i expect that to happen

I bought it and played it. Its good.
one of the best decisions of your life
You won't regret the purchase, it's a fun game! I also had ZERO plans of purchasing it myself until I saw the release trailer ^^
game's no slouch my dude.
Welcome aboard the UES Contact Light. We wish you a safe flight and a smooth landing at your intended destination.

Played the remaster a few months after beating the original, and this part came out of absolutely nowhere, they somehow made the fight even cooler
A Rainbow Fishing, Doubly
Inarguably the most remarkable motif in the entire trilogy so far.

Can't wait for even more versions of this legendary feeling that it gives to me.
Don't forget the Coalescence motif in almost every song
this and coalescence fr
