![NOSFERATU - Official Trailer [HD] - Only In Theaters December 25](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nulvWqYUM8k/mqdefault.jpg)
Happy to finally post some new combat music. You might of heard this in the launch trailer for the game a few weeks back. It's roots lie in the music for THE WARRENS from the first game.
I hope you enjoy. Leave a comment and let me know where you're listening from!
Sorry for the timezone and choice. Most Europeans will be sleeping but then again, I've played my share of games at 3am!
Make that four AM. And university doesn't help with staying up late for something exciting.
But regardless, I will easily wait for the time I am awake. _Regroup, reassemble. Music is timeless, after all._
as much as I enjoyed discovering the first two themes during the premiere, I am already listening the whole album non stop since I bought the game and soundtrack, so i will not stay awake the whole night for this one haha, great ost!!
@@StuartChatwood wow AMAZINGGGGG ❤️
@@StuartChatwood perfect for us australians, midday over here!
Official theme song of God Emperor Wilbur
"Dad, why my sister is named Ariana?"
"Becasue your mother loves Ariana Grande's music."
"Thanks dad"
"No problem Stuart"
AHAHA
Good one
@@CBRN-115 Thank you :)

What? Wilbur traded his flags for pecs? Anyone got a picture?

Stuart, I said it before but I use your tracks for my DnD sessions. When I first heard this theme as an homage to the Warrens, I got chills. My players’ party has almost been wiped by werewolves while the Warrens theme played; can’t wait to use this one they will be absolutely terrified.
So I am not the only one who does this 😁
Yup, been doing the exact same thing in my DnD campaigns
Being endorsed by Freddie Mercury is quite a badge of honour for a composer.
Huh... coincidence... i think not! I do also used DD soubdtrack for my first 5e one shot
You made a pavlovian response in your players...
Use it wisely and with evil intentions....
They bred too quickly in the dark...
And now we can't slay them fast enough anymore...
They're coming...
"Tread quickly and carefully. This is Swine country."
As someone who plays your music while playing tabletop games, I’ve gotta say:
Hearing the warrens theme in here was like a slap in the face from an old enemy.
Understand, I used battle in the ruins for the first fight of a campaign, and the party kinda got clapped for the first few rounds.
Suffice it to say, they’re a superstitious bunch now.
You seeing Wilbur again be like: ruclips.net/video/9ePLZyI2jZY/видео.html
Same! We used it too in our campaign. Perfect for harsh grimdark kinda campaigns and sessions. Just great work! - I feel like there is also a part that reminds me of "The Cove Battle" from 3:11 on.
Sluiffice to say
You should remind them that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
The ghost of lil Wilbur haunts me.
I hate to break it to you, but he's not as ghastly as you'd hope... nor... as small.
@@NinjaLayor Now Wilbur will Obliterate Masses!
The Swine Drummer do be doing his job extremely well!
Remember how well and cozy everything was back at the hamlet region? Granted, everything was corrupted: the shadows of the ruin, the twisted paths of wealds, the lovecraftian coves, those sick bloody warrens, god damned courtyard, shattered by the cosmos itself poisoned farmstead, and, ofcourse, the darkest dungeon itself. But it was cozy nonetheless, due to how close everything was and that no matter what, you WILL return back to the tiny hamlet, ordering a respite to those poor souls under your command, be it by the warmth of brothel, or sweet stinging sensation of the whip. You HAD your turf. Home.
For me, this track shows how fucking utterly BAD situation is in Darkest Dungeon universe in the second game. No more close, stiched together, incident of a region. Instead, it is now EVERYTHING IS FUCKING IS DOOMED situation, no matter where you go! You dont have home anymore, no more "hub" area, only a pathetic moments of regaining breath in a nearby inn. The moment i succumbed to my curiocity, i clicked on Sluice as a point of venturing forth, without understanding where will it take me, and without understanding the meaning of the word Sluice itself, because english is not my native. Even when i heard Ancestor say something like: "This area is not only a home to rats", it didnt struck me right away what i have just chosen as my path. Only when i've met the cursed stress halo made in swine style, i finaly realized, where i am...
The Sluice soundtrack shows you so brightly, that no matter where you go, you are coming there as a god damn stranger, unlike, again, back at the hamlet, where you despose of creatures in YOUR home. Remember how patheticly EASY were the warrens even on the "long/hard" difficulty, due to how super tiny they are? Its was just a box that you could abuse untill the end of your days, dodging and ditching the "unpleasant" path, by going up and down. Well, boyo, not anymore, cause here, in this mammoth labyrinth of swine country, you - are a trespasser.
I also like to think, that Wilbur straight up trained the swinefolk how to fight, how to get rid of unwelcomed guests. Notice how much more armored and tactical pigs now are, to the point of little piggies being as scary as big bois...not as scary as Swine Skiver tho, that fuck straight makes me stressed up IRL due to PTSD he left me with from the first game...
Gotta say, that "Sprawl Battle (4) Extended Ver." that you can find here on youtube is fa-a-ar superior of a track in DD2 album (Stuart outdid himself there), but this track works super great with this "new warrens" design.
Sadly, with Foetor existing i guess we will not hear "The Weald encounter" remix, which is my Darkest Dungeon favourite ost, but oh well.
Thank you very much Stuart. Its a real treat
You can hear the Weald tho.
On the freaking mountain.
My' man write a essay and boy, it gives so much in nostalgia and really how DD2 has been bearing the light (pun included) of DD1's legacy.
All to say : nice comment!
Stuart is the only composer besides Toby Fox that I will willingly set a reminder to listen to his music. It's *THAT* good.
I also recommend Christopher Larkin
There are tons of composers you should check out if you like this one.
The Hades OST is made by Zag's voice actor.
Christopher Larkin is a god. (Hollow Knight)
I mean take your pick. There are insane amounts of great orchestra OSTs out there.
@@-ShiraZen- Hades composer is called Darren Korb. Just to make searching for him easier.^^
Graham Plowman is also incredible. He’s on here as well and makes orchestral/soundscapes of HP lovecraft and similar cosmic horror stories.
Mick gordon is good too I dont even like metal but I like his music
I bought the album,
It's sickeningly good to hear those kick ass tracks in 720p so it's not justified it's only worth 8$, I ended up gave 15$.
Can't wait to seeing full released of the album with the game including just as a bonus.
Thanks for the support. Buying the record enables me to keep on doing what I do!
@@StuartChatwood Of course, I would get another copy when it's on Steam too.
Thank you for making the game more immersive and enjoyable.
Was it a challenge to take the old Warrens theme and turn it into something new? I think it turned out great, and I love the use of strings not just in this theme but across the DD2 soundtrack in general. I can’t wait to hear more
I legit got goosebumps when I first heard this. How do you only come up with top shelf stuff man?
I tend to throw out the bad ideas. Some combat cues took me 3 or 4 attempts. I might spend 40-80 hours on a bad idea and then shelf it if it doesn't feel right.
@@StuartChatwood mad respect for the amazing work! You are such a massive part of the atmopshere of DD.
@@StuartChatwood Stuarts Resolve is being tested: Inspired!
Imagine Stuart's cameo in the game as a court musician or something and the ancestor refer to him as an old acquaintance.
Oh man oh man, now I can't stop thinking about revamps of the Ruins and Town in Chaos
This is the best Birthday present ever!
i enjoy the lower strings on this one so much, it really gives off the extreme hopelessness associated with everything surrounding how far the outbreak from the warrens has reached. Just problems mounting on top of problems conveyed through the heavy swings through the strings.
Wilbur: Sigma rule no. 12: Never rely on Beta Swine King, grind yourself into a Sigma Swine Lord instead
I smiled when I saw the warrens again in DD2. I smiled even more when I realized that this theme had bits from the original warrens battle.
Like yourself I was happy to see the return of the Warrens and an opportunity to expand on the original piece of music.
i love it when the idle animation of those little invisible pigs sync with the rhyme of the battle music
Wherever the swine live, the best music in the game WILL be played. This is true in both games. FANTASTIC work here.
Let's get this gamer bread
I already liked the beat to battle in the Warrens, but you went ahead and made it downright intimidating. And I absolutely adore how many more layers there are now to the track, lovely Work.
Foul creatures! You do not scare for as I will be victor..
Little piggie: *squeals*
*THE HORROR IS COMING BACK*
re return to the warrens
Man I do enjoy that callback to the warrens. I always enjoy sequels perpetuating themes while also adding new life to them like this.
The string instruments introduced at 2:50 after almost three minutes of build-up are so goddamn tasteful!! Incredible
I like how sometimes the little pigs dance syncro with the music, perfect theme
What I love most is how the Swine Skulkers look like they’re vibing to their own theme.
This goes on the D&D playlist for sure, please keep up the fantastic work
for 4:13 . I need this , more POWER, same of trailer
4:13 Such a fun little segment of this track. Somehow it perfectly captures the feeling of fighting disgusting pig creatures, I love it so much. Favorite track in the whole series so far.
Me: You can't make Darkest Dungeon music any better than it already is.
Stewart Chatwood: Hold my hope
I knew from the trailer that this one would be a banger, thanks again for the music. The part that starts at 4:14 always get me moving along with the characters!
I'm a terrific gamer, I've played thousand of games I'm almost ashamed of it.
But the common element on EVERY SINGLE HIT in video games was, is and definitely will be the OST. You don't want to replay a game with a shit music, but you'd be able to play a shit game with awesome music.
Hollow knight.
Super Meat Boy.
Hades.
Darkest dungeon.
Binding of Isaac.
The Witcher 3.
Skyrim.
Monster Hunter World.
Outward.
DIvinity Series.
Final Fantasy series.
Wonder Boy remake.
Undertale.
Pokémon is known because of their music too.
Most known sport/car games are the ones with great OST.
Even Nintendo games such as Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and Mario Galaxy are legendary because they have memorable piece of music.
(This list is not in a particular order.)
Some games would benefit from investing more into music, like Dead Cells which is great visually but bland OST-wise...
So as a developer myself, you, Mr. Chatwood, are a hero. You blow life into games and I'm eternally grateful to live in that specific universe where composers do give a shit about video games. Thanks for reminding us that.
Please continue doing what you're doing :)
Now this is how you improve perfection.
4:13 stress level rose up to border line, keeping me in tone and inhuman concentration, reminding that my every wrong step on slippery ground and every wrong inhale of air with metallic smell may send me right into the pit of hungry flesh
You HAVE TO have at least a million subscribers!!! What’s wrong with RUclips algorhytm???!!!!
this guy right here is a legend, from the Tea Party to Prince of Persia soundtracks and DD. you're awesome dude.
I love using your music when I run tabletop games! I can't wait to use this in the next fight my players get into! I only wish we could get more of your work through like independent albums or something, though not sure if you have the time for that.
I plan on releasing a "Table Top" edition of longer cues.
"Ruin has found you at last."
I love how the song just jumps into wild intensity. It's as if you are allowed only a single gasp before the bloodletting piglets come for your regret.
I missed the premiere, but I came as quick as I could nonetheless. Anyway, it's good stuff, yeh, real guttural and primal. Kudos, Chadwood!
I've been playing through the game, still suck at it but doing decent cause yknow, played dd1 all the time. And the music never gets old. love it
This... will be amazing. I feel it in my bones.
Edit: THIS SLAPS! A VIRTUOUS BLOW!
I agree fantastic work ! And praise the omnissiah😂
Valley soundrack is so good with those acoustic guitars,me and my friend loved that song so much,we learned it on the guitars,sounds so good and sad.
If you guys are gonna search for chords: ( your gonna play Em alot just fingerpick first four strings 1 2 3 2 4 3 2 3) then there is some parts that goes, Em,D,C,Am and Am again but you wanna mix there bass notes on the E string 3-2,and Em rolls again and other guitar plays:
B|----5-5-5---5-6-5 and so forth.
Thanks for taking the time with this piece. It's always good to get some real instruments on the tracks.
I have been in Sluice one time and this zone is so incredibly difficult but bringing my entier team to critical state with no health, negative relationships and stressed the fuck out on the FISRT ZONE just to listen this masterpiece, IT'S WORHT IT. And i would do it again. :D
Ah, nothing like a cup of sluice juice and a side of blighted pork to start the day!
Hang on... Recognize those drums... THOSE ARE THE DRUMS FROM THE WARRENS!
When Wilbur got swole
Woo yeah baby
A really fitting alternative for our old warrens music, brings back memories, a polished job as always Mr. Chatwood! Big fan!
This is the theme song for "Your assignments are now due in one hour."
Squealing sounds start playing in my head, remembering those times when someone would have a heart attack because a swine puked at him.
You want jolly atmospherical music? Ask Grant Kirkhope.
You want emotional and dramatic music? Ask Yoko Shimomura and Christopher Larkin.
You want intense adrenalin pumping music? Ask Stuart Chatwood.
Mr. Chatwood, i think no one will disagree that your name truly belongs beside those mentioned above. Ok, maybe those two idiots who disliked this video. They truly dared to be bold.
Thanks for the kind words. Don't worry about the thumbs down. I ask my Mum and Dad to downvote each video! :)
@@StuartChatwood Ok, that is funny.^^
Sorry I missed the premier for this, Stuart. I was busy listening to the track in-game, and then listening to it again after buying your Bandcamp album
Ok i buy Darkest Dungeon® II: The Soundtrack cuz this song
80% of comments be like:
"Thanks, Stuart. I use your music to traumatize my DnD party and it works like a charm!"
Darkest Dungeon wouldn't be the same without you Mr.Chatwood.
I'm still super glad you are on the job.
The music always compliments the area so well, I cant even imagine the pigs without these drums in their music
Yes this is nostalgic for me. Thanks sir Stuart!
Stuart how do produce banger after banger it's unreal🥺🥺
easily my favorite battle theme keep up the amazing work 😍😍😍😳
"Oh my god its the new warrens area are the swine drums back--"
*music starts playing*
THEY ARE SO BACK 🐷🐖🐽🐗💢💥
I love your work!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
This made me realise how much I want a remix of the Cove
I knew it the moment I heard the trailer music, excellent to hear your re-take on the Warrens, we can all agree to hate the disgusting pigmen.
I am also digging your slight use of synths to universally convey how the world has gone awry, sets a nice precedent which you seem to follow along nicely for all of DD2 combat themes .
I bet this made Hans Zimmer envious!
The damp warrens now reek of pestilence and rot. Deal with the unwelcome guests, and restore some semblance of peace to the ancient waterways of our kingdom.
This is an incredibly refreshing take on the original music tracks...the wider range of audio techniques is so incredibly impressive.
Aaaaand loop.
Nope... can't... DD and DD2 ost its way to perfect for worldbuilding for my d&d custom setting
I remember hearing this in game this first time and I immediately knew I was was in trouble
well done!
Anyone else mesmerized by the assassin pigs dancing to the rhytm while playing the game?
This is honestly awesome. It gives of the feeling of a revamped and more intimidating warrens from dd1
The top 3 tracks in The Darkest Dungeon 2 for me so far is:
#1 The Sprawl - The momentum of the buildup to the string crescendo is palpable immersion.
#2 The Tangle - The personification of the Darkest Dungeon wrapped up in one track.
#3 Foetor - The Weald v2. The drums hit hard on a different level. One I haven't felt since the likes of The Dark Knight.
Ok, now here's mine top 3
#1 Battle For The Mountain: hits the sweet spot with a point blank shot
#2 The Shroud: it's got that pirate shanty vibe
#3 The Inn: DD1 camping theme 2.0
WOW WOW AMAZING AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️ AMAZINGGGGG SOUNDTRACK AMAZING
-A dizzying blow to body and brain!
Battle in the Warrens but it SLAPS even more!!
I always chose the sluice for this music. Then I bought the soundtrack which made the game significantly easier
Video game music slaps, Exhibit: 17983. Nice use of percussion.
I like that there’s aspects of the warrens in this, considering the themes for both areas are similar.
Hey Stuart, this track sounds a bit different than the track in the game. Isnt there a plus instrument in the actual game version? Im not sure, maybe im just misheard something. Thanks for the answer.
Good ears. The in game music engine is mixing stems of the different instruments in real time. As a result it sounds slightly different than the mix we are able to make for the soundtrack.
Probably my favorite track in the game, so good!! Fitting music for tribal pigs :D
I was really sceptical about buying dd2 in first place. 3d and all the cliche
Then i heard Return to warrens on trailer.
Next day i bought the game.
Masterpiece
Thanks for believing in the game. It's going to be fun watching the progression leading up to the final release.
I hear the thundering drums of the warrens. Already a favorite of mine!
Dang man, Wilbur got jacked.... yknow what? Good on him.
Will you upload all the others? I absolutely love The Sprawl and the mountain, I understand why you're taking down other video uploads of them since they are your music but I hope I can expect to see those tracks too! They're my favorite. On to this piece, I love how you incorporated the general motif of the warrens from the first game. I love your work, I was excited for DD2 just to see what you've cooked up. It's a shame it's on epic games though...I would much rather prefer if the early access was on steam! I might give in though just so I can hear your tracks in game. Keep up the fantastic work, you are easily my favorite composer!
The other tracks will be uploaded in the coming months.
I don't like uploads that are straight up rips from the soundtrack. It's not fair to me and all the work I've put in.
I have left up the extended versions but if Red Hook or some other partner requests they are removed then I will have to ask for them to be taken down.
I'd like to put out an extended version of the record for table top/D&D gamers to use but I don't have time to get that out yet.
Thanks for your support!
@@StuartChatwood I absolutely understand why you don't like straight rips. It's amazing how awesome your tracks are to listen to and I'm sure it's very frustrating to see them ripped and uploaded. I hope this game gets lots of DLCs so we can hear more of your amazing music!
2:50 so good
It's like Return To The Warrens - but Wilbur has been working out.
and the oscar goes to.. Stuart Chatwood for Sluice and Prince of Persia Warrior Within
I think this is a really good mix of the original DD1 style with the new vibe of DD2.
Best guy it just not amazing
Soun like (return to the warrens)
Ah yes, more music to use for DnD sessions, excellent. Good to see you're killing it just as hard in 2 as you did in 1.
Bits of the warrens comes back to haunt me and I love it.
hearing the part at 4:14 while the skulkers spin around after doing their attack is just perfect
Damn, that's some *ENERGY*
Listening from Moscow at 4:30 in the morning
Thanks for staying up so late!
this sounds VERY prince of persia-ish and i love it
YEAHH!!!
I’m very unlearned in the specifics of music composition but I’ve always loved the industrial sounding percussions in the Warrens in DD1. So glad they came back with a vengeance.
And the strings added onto the warrens melody make it sound so tense.
