@@xatsukox503 look within is probably my favourite track tbh. Also athanasia only plays just before the first encounter and at the ending cutscene, the music for the chase is actually the ending of reckless.

Sechrist back it again with the piano banger. For those wondering, Michael Sechrist also did Deep Stone Lullaby, Prophecy, and if I'm not mistaken the Splicer music. Absolute unit of a composer. Edit: I am mistaken, Rotem Moav and Skye Lewin actually composed the Splicer music (great job by the way). That said Sechrist did work on some other stuff I didn't realize such as Salvation itself (though the original motif could have been composed by someone else, I am not sure though)!
Insane that he was laid off. It's going to be real hard to care about D2s music post Final Shape. There are still talented musicians there but it'll be missing a lot without both Michaels.
The beauty of the Throne World, the Tragedy of Savathûn's story, the Hive being tricked to eternal slavery, the mysteries of The Queen and her deceits, our fight against a threat that too much like us, the prelude to something far greater than we are... all perfectly encapsulated in 4 minutes and 21 seconds.
Hearing this while exploring Savathun's castle was such a phenomenal experience. Got goosebumps hearing it for the first time by looking at the scenery
Well, functionally 3/4 and 6/8 are the same, right? So it really comes down to feel and style, like in the section around 1:12, where it switches from feeling like 3/4 to feeling like 6/8 due to the percussive hits on the 4th note of the 6/8 (or the + of 2 in 3/4)
Playing through the Legendary campaign today on my 3rd character, I intentionally stopped progressing through the Apothecary after killing the enemies outside just to jam out. Turned my music up. Such a banger. _\,,/
@@therealsirchewy Ironically Halo games had the same issue with people acting like O'Donnell was the only composer and overlooking Salvatori's contributions
skye actually said in a interview once, no song is ever written by one person inside bungie, the person credited is usually just the one who came up with the motif or a hook
Might be my favorite in the whole dlc. Finishing up that big fight in the Alluring Curtain and then waltzing through the scintillating halls, looking at all the red flowers, and admiring the statues right as the calm part of this hits with Laura Intravia's wonderful vocals is a vibe and a half.
Try listening to it on 1.25x and you’ll get a whole different experience of this song. Makes it sounds like Savathun’s been deceived by the witness but starts to be disheartened and makes her every last move she got to kill you quickly as she can.
This plays when you're fighting that one lightbearer acolyte and if you put it on legendary its like you're fighting for your own life behind the screen.
what a masterpiece my absolute favorite OST describe the expansion the witch queen so well and when it play in story Mission: #7 - The Last Chance it gives me goosebumps every time I reach part @2:51 love it Bungie
I find that Oryx's (The Taken King) ost is far more grand and befitting of a warrior and king, but Savathûn's (The Witch Queen) is far more edgy and silent, like a snake creeping on its prey, a bit like her
Someone made a fan theme for Xivu, honestly, I wasn't a huge fan, but they did have the genius idea of using cabal horns and leitmotif for her which is huge points for that idea alone.

Throne World feels like Wonderland. It’s perfect, and yet I feel nothing but dread upon visiting.
a world in the abyss created violence and deception, covered with light, what did you expect?

yea all that music definitely has its own distinct almost futuristic vibe and it’s all incredible
Lotsa Michaels working on Bungie's music apparently.

The hive, the alien, the deception, the guardian, the light..
You can hear it all in this track and its what makes this one so perfect.
Best song in the OST imo, reminds me of Athanasia which was my fave from Beyond Light
Same

This is by far one of the greatest Destiny 2 OST overall, I get goosebums ever time hearing it ingame
Hearing this while exploring Savathun's castle was such a phenomenal experience. Got goosebumps hearing it for the first time by looking at the scenery
Don’t mind me, just timestamping my favorite leitmotif in the expansion at 0:00 and 2:52
"Throne World" Patrol
"The Last Chance" Mission:
"Lightbearer Acolyte"
2:12 Phase 2
3:54 End
Whatever that pitch bending synth is at 0:14 hits just right
Def top 3 best Destiny songs of all time
The time signature change from 3/4 to 6/8 at 1:35 is fantastic. And then it changes back in the outro.
Plus it’s in Eb minor. This is the curse of absolute pitch.

This is this years Deep Stone Lullaby. I already know it.
This is my favorite. Just beautiful and menacing.
I love this song here. It's by far my number 1 song from the whole soundtrack.
This track is just too good. That piano got me actin' mischievous and full of mal-intent.
Gotta love everyone praising Salvatori for a Sechrist track
I mean, it's not like you can see that anywhere. Not everyone's gonna buy the OST for 10$ to see the notes.
Still, people gotta realise Salvatori isn't Bungie's only composer
@@therealsirchewy Ironically Halo games had the same issue with people acting like O'Donnell was the only composer and overlooking Salvatori's contributions

Congrats for the composers and all the team around that project, everything is stunning.
My favorite part was the ending at 4:02 time stamp. Close your eyes and you can feel it. Damn! 👏
Just first few notes, first seconds when it started playing during ViDoc I knew it's going to be the best track and couldn't wait for full version.
Finished the campaign a few weeks back, clicking this video hit me with emotions i did not expect
Try listening to it on 1.25x and you’ll get a whole different experience of this song. Makes it sounds like Savathun’s been deceived by the witness but starts to be disheartened and makes her every last move she got to kill you quickly as she can.
The best and my favorite soundtrack of the whole expansion
I still cant get over how awesome this is
Hands down one of my favorite tracks in the entire soundtrack. Just amazing piano intro and sounds of mystery, magic and deception and impending doom
This plays when you're fighting that one lightbearer acolyte and if you put it on legendary its like you're fighting for your own life behind the screen.
Really portrays the misery of the Hive and Savathun, mixed with a sense of wonder and trickery, the songs says "where did it all go wrong..."
This is my favorite track right here
what a masterpiece my absolute favorite OST describe the expansion the witch queen so well and when it play in story Mission: #7 - The Last Chance it gives me goosebumps every time I reach part @2:51 love it Bungie
0:00 to 0:44 is so beautiful and wish there was more of it
Goosebumps almost straight away. Another great piece by the Destiny composers
