Awesome Video Game Music 138: Roar of the Departed Souls

[Espionage120559]

I guess at 2:24 some guy started flicking a lightswitch...

[saririza1]

awakening the chaos, dynal battle roar of the departed soul theye`re awesome

[TerminalStench07]

DAT GUITAR.

[ArtenMorningstarr]

This song relaxes me... imma go take a nap.

[MasterChef306]

AAARRGH!

I had the extreme misfortune of leaving this on my favorites list right after "The Moon" from ducktales. Now whenever I'm inattentive, it's that calming 8-bit tune immediately followed by the AHHH AHHH AHHH AHHH of the chorus. I really must figure out how to fix that.

[killerdude93]

there needs to be some replay feature that repeats at certain points of the song so that way it seems like the song is going on forever and not hearing a fade or a stop in between listening

[Lokiallen12345]

@killerdude93 In the URL, type in "loop" after youtube. There you can set it so the song loops at whatever point you wish. Fun times!

[killerdude93]

@Lokiallen12345 oh thank you, you're a life saver :D

[UltimegaSeven]

I love this song so much...

[imani2114]

do i hear a little bit of Still More Fighting in there

[8BallsEmperor]

This would also fit well with Kefka ^^.

[DarcAbyss]

8 people disliked this. Okay, quick question: HOW? How could any person dislike this? I'm pretty sure I felt myself die a little inside.

[lucarioman69]

when I hear the first part of the song, I always imagine the night shift episode of spongebob. the part where squidward says "He GETS YA!" and spongebob like, screams repeatedly for however long it was XD

[Konkfan7]

@lucarioman69 I want someone to make a video of that.

[derubor]

Anyone else thinks Nobuo Uematsu is a genius?

[ups8898]

@derubor me he is not a genius he is a god

[angelofdarkness25050]

oh so you want a yelling contest do you? ahh! ahh ! ahh! im winning! ahh! ahh ! ahh!!

[NorwegianCarWrecker]

@angelofdarkness25050 .. ahh! ahh aaahh.. chaw.. *pass out*

[angelofdarkness25050]

@NorwegianCarWrecker hah! i won against the song and you!

[Anangryviking]

@angelofdarkness25050 Good for you! Get all those A's out of your system!

[Blackwiz555]

@Anangryviking and H's to, dont for get the H's

[eddyshitofoko]

@angelofdarkness25050 family guy ftw^^

[Alkiryas]

My reaction: Gongoraaaaaaa!

[superdimentiobrolyX]

are those lyrics german? they sound like it.

[Rellik165]

@superdimentiobrolyX I know the chanting is in Japanese, but I'm unsure what language the rest of it is in... if they are singing in a language.

[Shephyr]

@Rellik165 Everything is in japanese. It's just that the way they sing it seems like they are chanting something weird.

[JuanDVene]

@superdimentiobrolyX I believe it's Japanese

[JuanDVene]

@superdimentiobrolyX You can tell it's Japanese because it doesn't really rhyme.

[Rsnubsmustdie]

HOLY FUCK. Pyramid head got a new helmet!

[chainsawjack555]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooo.000000000000000 my god!!!!!!!!!!

[cookieofcourage]

to quote pyschadelicsnake

"I DON'T CARE IF I HAVE TO FIGHT PYRAMID HEAD!!!...

..WITH SUPER SAYIAN ABILITIES!!!!!!"

[Beastdemon666]

pyramid head shaped monster is actually trying to get a hug, just look to his other 2 arms without sharpening-evil-magic objects... see that is cute

[TheShadowPersona]

I remember this.....this hour long battle..Love this song!

[AwsmChimera]

Then, the HUH! HOOH! HAH! happens and the masks float away from Ra(who was hidden in the swarm. He starts chanting while Joe runs after him. (Chanting slows in the back) the masks start gathering. They form a giant beast face and charge at Joe(who just sees what they've formed) at the last HAAAAAHHH!

[AwsmChimera]

This plays as my friend Joe fights his last battle in the story. His opponent(wearing Majora's mask), Ra, starts floating and two large spikes erupt from his back. Then the metal kicks in and Joe finds himself surrounded by 2000 heads. The faces swirl around like a tornado. Ramming into Joe(some have horns or blades and some are shooting out there mouths.

[XCAltoona]

A good reminder that, no matter how many great videogame composers are out there...

Holy shit Nobuo Uematsu.

[RaynesX]

@AdalHRivera too good, and made me feel super nerdy for getting it XD

[DrStrangefate]

1:23 Shit just got real....

[DarbyBellisle]

I feel as though this piece has a pieces of what alot of other boss themes throughout Square Enix's history have had. brings back memories.

[OneTrueBelmont]

@DarbyBellisle You can hear just an echo of Dancing Mad in there.

[DarbyBellisle]

I want a PS3 port of Lost Odyssey finally

[Rellik165]

Hey, did anyone else notice what language they're singing (chanting?) in near the end? I think it's Japanese, it it's hard to tell.

[ineedmorenaruto]

@Rellik165 it is japanese. it sounds like a new sub-genre of rap =O

[Cherryblossoms13100]

*my first thoughts of this song* goodby face, gonna miss you when you melt off ;,)

[blackbloodedsaint11]

WHO gave pyramid head an upgrade.....

[Rellik165]

@blackbloodedsaint11 The creator of Final Fantasy. =)

[blackbloodedsaint11]

@Rellik165 aparently he dont know what hes done D:

[Xasmelu]

@blackbloodedsaint11 the same person who decided to give him such awesome music! =D

[ohaithere27]

This song just SCREAMS "You're fucked bro, might as well fall on your sword right now to shorten your misery." And I don't usually like stuff like this.

[Richarddwc]

whats this from anyhow? a ff game?

[Ericanious]

@Richarddwc

Made by many of the same folks, but it's Lost Odyssey. If you like FF check it out, but it'll take a bit of time to get into.

[Gamemaster25a]

Might get lost Lost Odessey just for this.

[Espionage120559]

This song + Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Final Boss = Beyond epic win.

[Cherryblossoms13100]

Meh, the song is catchy, i guess (totally joking, this song is absolutely facfe meltin' good)

[doommaster956]

*looks up and sees the head*o.0 awwww we have to fight that?!?!?!? *sh*ts a brick*awsome theme though

[ohaithere27]

I now want to play this game... and I don't know a thing about it...

[TeRBoozooka]

@dorolover Eww...

[MrZebster]

This is what happens when Goro and Pyramid Head have a child.

[PokePal79]

Pyramid Head: Daddy?

[ShinyHoundoom229]

@PokePal79 Wait. if THAT is Pyramid Head's dad, does that make him Jesus?

[PokePal79]

@ShinyHoundoom229 Okay, if he's the Lord Jesus, I'm beeing an Atheist.

[TheEternalOtaku]

@PokePal79 If that's Jesus I Don't even want to know what Satan looks like

[PokePal79]

@TheEternalOtaku Me neither. 0_0

[Dualwieldingroxas]

@TheEternalOtaku Satan would be that thing made out of lava, with blue fire for eyes and hands, and a huge tail with infinite spikes to it. Oh, and it can fly xD

[JuanDVene]

wait im sorry i havent played this game so... Who is the one in the picture?

[theheavy117]

If Pyramid Head became a god, he'd look like this.

[DoroLover]

At the beginning, I shat enough bricks to recreate New York City O_O

Then the rest of the song kicked in, and I felt better :D

[SegaNightmare]

@DoroLover damn boy you at a bit didn't ya ;)

[Lunataari]

O.o

[marcellolepi]

The Best Villain's Music EVER!!!

Remember THE BATTLE AGAINST SEPHIROTH!!!!

[AwsmChimera]

I want this to be Ronald McDonald's theme...

[shinnuXIII]

@AwsmChimera

NO!....this shall be woody's theme

[MrZebster]

Pyramid head is evolving! Pyramid head evolved into Pyramid head but more Badass!

[AgentDC76]

1:01 - now THAT's more like it! Usually I like choral segments, but I find the one in the onset of this piece grating and choppy for some reason. That said, I like the choral elements in the rest of the piece.

[Luxen675]

Thank god Pyramid God doesn't appear in a Silent Hill game....

[shinnuXIII]

@Luxen675

but it sounds like an epic final boss though.

[IIIxKiiNGxIII]

/watch?v=rXX06MTs6i0

[AdalHRivera]

Pyramid Head's trainer didn't press the B button...

[Megamaster219]

@AdalHRivera Trainer: Oh f*ck, what have I done?!

[Warriorsfan0111111]

Man, when I first heard this, I was like, 'Holy crap. This is freakin' epic!'

The initial battle with Gongora is pretty intense, because (!!!Ending Spoiler Alert!!!) the Immortals are now mortal and things could become very bad for them.

(End Spoiler)

There is a part in the song that sounds as if it could be transitioned into Dancing Mad, which cays a few things about Gongora that most people guessed early on in the game.

[robloxfan459]

everyone is forgetting for pyramid head to evolve it needs a chuck norris tear...

[AdalHRivera]

@robloxfan459

Chuck Norris doesnt cry tears, dude. TEARS CRY CHUCK NORRIS

[LakuitaBro1559]

Some one should play this on Dec. 21. LIKE ITS GONNA HAPPEN

[TheCalamity2]

This is the most badass title for a song.

[phaselotus]

ugh god i remember fighting this boss with this song playing i was so fuckin pumped...

[xXimyourworstXx]

we are playing this in my marching band. Zombie theme. its so fucking badass

[Cbozo295]

@xXimyourworstXx Oh really? Is it that Fucking Badass? Jk it is. Especially in a zombie themed show.

[negotiatorsheep1]

[Cthlhu4President]

[dead8063]

@Cthlhu4President Gongora the immortal better than kefka and sephiroth COMBINED

[Cherryblossoms13100]

@dead8063 1. i thought it was pyramid head first time i saw it :P

2. Kekfa+sepheroth<Kefka...it would downgrade him.

[TwistedNsanity]

Damn that's epic!

[GuyOnShorts]

seven months ago i was like HOLY SHIT I KISS THE FLOOR BEHIND WHOEVER CAN PLAY THIS. Seven months later I play the drum parts + most riffs... especially from 1:22

[toastyblues06]

Holy shit is right...minus the Chuck Norris fanboys.

[Konohagakure8]

@toastyblues06

SShhhhhhhh

he heard you

[SKnight8046]

is that a keyblade he's holding? woah this is great :)

[Tibiademon555]

@SKnight8046 No, thats a staff.

[Syt96]

Actually I think this music would play if Chuck Norris was evolving. What a day that would be.

[ragnaroktomorro]

was waiting for this. If you hadn't added this, I would have made you aware.

[Syt96]

Your Pyramid Head is evolving....

Your Pyramid Head is now Pyramid God.

Pyramid God has learned: Knife Scrape x4 Godly Rape and Brute Drag

[KhaleoNinja]

00:28 crepped me out, if you're using a headphone, it passes one side to the other.

[zelpyzelp]

@KhaleoNinja headphones and ear-buds for the win!!!

[deathknight246810]

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

[shadeslay406]

I did not think it was possible to like a song that was weirder than One Winged Angel. I was wrong. Epic.

[GuyOnShorts]

i defy anyone to make a guitar/drums cover for this song for Guitar Hero

[SirTotallyAwesome]

I love the wheedling electric guitar in the background.

[jibber102]

*boss battle comes up*

Me: Hope I'm ready for thi--wait....This sounds kind of creepy...Oh, dang. This is really...F*** YEAH!!!!!! COME GET YOUR ASS KICKED, BOSSMAN!!!!!

[supermao1997]

[Lanser747]

Best description ever



[TheLostPierrots]

[bugworrall]

Holy sh*t indeed, Peanut.

Holy sh*t indeed.

[9werewolf]

Are the singers at the beginning, laughing at me? Those damn assholes! >:( *Guitar part comes* Now I feel better. *Chorus* Is that your way to apologize to people? :D

[VampireBoy0009]

Pyramid Head: WHAT? EGYPT OWNS ME? >:U

[SlayerZaraki]

Pyramid Head: Jesus Form!

[LordWill753]

This thng looks like something that would show up in my nightmares :/ Epic song though! :D

[dyldragon1]

AUTARCH!!!! How is this not at least #6 on your top 50 boss themes!!!!

[dyldragon1]

Ahh, Lost Odyesy, so underated.

[YouNoobxD94]

@dyldragon1 So underrated that you can't even spell it right...

[Iemanonymous1]

HO~OH HO~OH HO~OH HO~OH HO~OH HO~OH

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~OH

[Waffersforever]

A freaky intro that transcends into complete awesome. This is MUSIC at its best.

[DarkMind95]

[Glitchesftw]

@DarkMind95 lost odyssey for xbox 360

[HoukouAoi123]

holy shit o.o

[Darkrai1276]

dam lost odessy is hard as fuck i cant even beat the third boss, thats th giant electric worm thing

[warumtueichdass]

@Darkrai1276 That is the hardest boss in the game, the bosses after it are easier.

[OverlordLS]

That thing looks like Pyramid Head on nightmare crack.

[SuperAwesomedude98]

My first reactions to this: Okay just a bunch of HA's, okay 30 seconds in, wait that sounds like a... chainsaw. Okay now it's cool, wait something big is going to happen whats happening! HOLY CRAP, HOLY, OMG, TOO EPIC. (listens to the rest of the song). OMG, TOO EPIC, (plop, fall, crash.) OW, BUT STILL EPIC.

[NemesisTheZombieKing]

you know a boss is gonna kick your ass when

1. the boss is four armed titan.

2. the boss looks like pyramid head

3. the boss' theme song starts off by LAUGHING AT YOU

[robloxfan459]

this song just freaking sweats OVERNINETHOUSAND TIMES THE EPICNESS OF ROCK!!!!

[createDXemnas]

it's pyramid heads ancestor. giga pyrahead

[RedMegaXIII]

dark world and dancing mad

[icentfindaname]

This song just screaming "AWSOMENESS" but its so awsome that all we can hear is "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA!"

[TLtimelord]

lol it's Pyramid Head's dad

[xXCha0sK1ngXx]

Too. Much. Awesome. O_e

[ThisGirlisColdHearte]

Sounds like FF7.

[Doughty321]

This was such a great game and then to cap it off the final boss was awesome and the ending was superb.

[EuroGamer360]

This is EPIC!

[cerberus00]

this song is too awesome for this boss he's so fuckin easy to beat

[Ziforb]

PYRAMID HEAD REVEALED HIS TRUE FORM!

[robloxfan459]

@Ziforb PYRAMID HEAD MUST HAVE USED THE OVER NINETHOUSAND ORB!

[Cthlhu4President]

@Ziforb

What? Pyramid Head is evolving! It Became HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

[Ziforb]

@Cthlhu4President Pyramid Head is evolving! It became....

OH THIS IS BAD. *Hoovy face of sheer terror*

[Cthlhu4President]

@Ziforb

I'm gonna go hide behind some Space Marines

[jumjalalabash]

@Ziforb What?! Pyramid Head is evolving?! Pyramid Head has evolved into Rhombus Shiva!

[SegaNightmare]

@Ziforb thats what I thought

[Gundamluverx]

Whenever Chuck Norris takes a crap, this plays!

[Threadnaught]

@Gundamluverx How fitting...

Personally I hate Chuck Norris, remember Bruce Lee? He kicked Chuck Norris' ass, if any part of the meme was true Bruce Lee would've exploded upon thinking about that fight.

This song doesn't do it for me either, it just sounds like Uematsu couldn't be bothered and just threw something substandard together to appease the FPS fanboys and get his paycheck. Though I like the part when the guitar starts playing.

[Gundamluverx]

@Threadnaught Well, I like this song,  you're not getting me to agree with you!

[Threadnaught]

@Gundamluverx True, I just hate the Chuck Norris meme and need to vent every so often.

Like I said though, the bit where the guitar plays in it's own is nice.

[Videogamefreak16]

@Gundamluverx

dont chuck norris jokes get old?

[Gundamluverx]

@Videogamefreak16 Well, the fact that it's one of the top comments says otherwise!

[shadeslay406]

@Gundamluverx up to 1:00 is just him walking into the bathroom.

[Tibiademon555]

@Gundamluverx OH GOD THE MENTAL IMAGE!

[Megamaster219]

@Gundamluverx From 0:00 to 1:00 is him walking to the bathroom.

[negotiatorsheep1]

@Gundamluverx LOL, Especially when 0:29 comes X3

[zdubb87]

my face is melting
