Aviators - We Evolve (Risk of Rain 2 Song | Alternative)

Imagine my shock when I found out that this game didn't have murderously dangerous rain

There are lots of games like that actually. It's a well-established trope.

ah yes when you achieve enlightenment and the game runs out of memory. i know it well

[@hmmmooops]

what does that mean?

[@Sleksin]

@@hmmmooops They mean crashing the game as in a critical failure of the program (in this case by overloading it with how much shit is going on). Since RoR (both of them) embrace absurdity and chaos, crashing the game is almost like a rite of passage.

[@DeadPerfection]

I love the fact that a large chunk of the playerbase agrees that there should be a crash counter in the stats menu.

[@DarkPillWarrior]

As someone who put over 2000 hours into Risk of Rain 2, I can't believe I didn't realize this song was inspired by it. If I had listened to it a couple of times, fully, I would have noticed the vibes from the instruments and the lyrics. I can play this song on repeat while playing Risk of Rain 2 and the music doesn't feel off at all, it feels like it was made for it.

[@zedmanul7472]

Aviators making a RoR2 song was not something I knew I needed

[@theh.i.v.e9036]

A song about Risk of Rain 2 of all things, was not something we ever expected to see. A pleasant surprise to be sure.

[@SG-jb7tz]

I was like yo nice that exists ?

[@DarkPillWarrior]

I didn't know either. If I had listened to the song the whole way through a few times I could have probably figured it out, because of the distinct sounds from the instruments. The lyrics could be for several games, but, they really do fit Risk of Rain very well.

[@csgilmore3536]

Nice work. The note of the music really blends well with the scenery. I had one point where I suddenly realized there hadn't been any lyrics for a while, just instrumental that fit the scenes.

[@Rick-uq4bz]

Hi Aviators, I've been following your music for the past 8-ish years. The first song I heard was Open Your Eyes, and it's been an amazing journey ever since. Keep up the amazing work, and thank you.

[@TheSwordofFlames]

Bro that was my first Avi song too (but I heard the Spectra remix first lol)

Mine was resurrection

[@randombrazilian4534]

Mine was one of the fnaf ones. I think it was "our little horror story", or any of the ones around that time

[@michaelramon2411]

I actually don't know anything about Risk of Rain, but this has been my favorite track on this album since I first heard it several months ago. I think it's because it has the moody Lovecraftian vibe about barely-knowable alien terrors, but the line "our nightmares will evolve - and so must we" strikes a very different tone. Humanity may have a very small place in the universe, but it was built to adapt and overcome challenges, and it has been very successful in that regard. The alien horrors may be insurmountable, but they might not be, and it is at the core of our nature to change however is necessary to overcome and survive. Not knowing the original inspiration, I got a "apocalyptic war with aliens that humanity is slowly starting to win" vibe from it.

[@undeadlordmonroe1794]

Basically a spaceship crashes in an alien planet, where everything, including the planet is trying to kill the survivors, who fight and fight until they face god himself, but at the end, are they truly still themselves?

@@nitwriter4804 ahhhh, you haven't gotten to all the logs. So, story of the brothers is they are stuck on planet, Mith figures out crafting and wants to do it with Prov, they have fun, but Prov is really attached to living things while mith sees em as toys. Eventually Prov views Mith as too cruel, and when they test out a gate system, Mith goes first, and Prov breaks it behind him, trapping him on the moon

[@undertonetm7692]

I'm convinced that you would be able to remix this song along with "They'll never find us". Both songs have a very similar vibe to it, at least for me that is.

[@LucifersFate]

Not gonna lie... that would be very interesting. I wonder if my limited knowledge of music can pull that off👀

[@NightmareMoon9964]

It would be funny if he would do what he does sometimes: do "acoustic" version, when he refers to previous songs. For example: *_Incandescent_* have references to *Where I Belong* . *_Apocalypse State if Mind (Acoustic)_* have references to *Ashes* I'm positive that there's another one example, but I can't remember now. Anyway, not exactly acoustic, but some VIP, which refers to _They'll Never Find Us_ indeed would be great.

[@thebigdaddyking4536]

[@RuneAether]

somehow missed this one when it came out, but you absolutely nailed it. perfectly encapsulated everything about Risk of Rain 2, from the chilling lyrics to the almost alien backing track. you managed to harness the feel of Chris Christodoulou's perfect soundtrack into a perfect song, with an instrumental that sounds like it could have been ripped straight out of the game. outstanding work as usual

[@triplej26532]

This is one of my favorite tracks for Dreams of the Deep album. The instrumental gives a great atmosphere of prepping yourself to survive in the world created around you. It's the first time I ever heard of the game Risk of Rain 2. If I have the time, I'll give it a shot just for the heck of it. Probably die a lot like many other games like Dark Souls, Halo, Bloodstained Curse of the Moon and plenty of others.

[@cymonin5549]

I'd say it's worth giving it a try. It's really addicting, and fun alone or w/ friends

[@whozak479]

I love this game and I love your music. I'd be very interested to hear more from you on this game especially if you have been looking into the story from logs and such. Two sibling child gods side by side slowly figuring out molding matter and life itself until they turn against someone alongside a cast of sci-fi characters with a dystopian theme to each of them. The slow pace of the song surprised me as I wasn't expecting it, although it works well along with the character focused narrative. However I think a song in the pace of the game would be really cool to hear especially from you. Stay safe, stay awesome

[@palladian2289]
