Calamity Mod Music - "Nightmarish Perfection" - Exo Mechs (Unofficial)

[@DodgedMusic]

To all new viewers: This is a Terraria music channel, so feel free to stick around. What was your favorite segment?

[@epicgamerpolihedral]

artemis and apollo has the best part no doubt

[@neophyte_7777]

agree, the twins are the best. i sorta miss the screaming sine/saw of thanatos, though

[@epicgamerpolihedral]

@@neophyte_7777 ong bro, thanatos carried the original

[@wattle20]

absolutely Thanatos', it brings a sort of playful "you can't escape!" vibe you don't hear anywhere else in the track, with Ares' coming at a close second because it sounds like skeleton metal, and i can be a big sucker for that at times.

[@DodgedMusic]

fun fact: all climax sections have the alarm. I.E. The beginning and end of Artemis and Apollo, Ares, Thanatos, and also the Finale. They're just quieter in some segments due to mixing being hard with so many instruments.

[@Meowlegend7]

"What a terrifying marvel of engineering. Draedon's specialty always lay in the machines of war, but these are immaculate. His bold claim that no God can match his work is, however… incorrect." - Jungle Tyrant, Yharim "Finale" segment is my favorite! Great job once again, we are so back!

[@besquareorbethere8093]

This certainly stands out among other fanmade Exo Mech themes, the pacing and instrumentation really sell the feeling that these machines rival gods in power. Even the intro is full of this power and confidence.

[@Meowlegend7]

Draedon thinks his machines are surpassing Gods, but that is wrong of course.

That Draedon motif with the metal guitar was genuine peak

[@jonathanhutchinson7431]

This song sounds like it could be in a nightmare difficulty of calamity. Insane work, man.

[@w8ves]

THIS IS SOO GOOOD!! I'm so glad you took your time on this piece, it's purely peak! Your iconic style and riffs + the uniqueness this piece has from the others is sooo... good TT

[@xxggmanxx5826]

the previous versions were good but like kinda too calm but this one gives this kick in the butt! awesome work!

[@RemusVentanus]

Шикарная тема! С каждой новой музыкой Ваше творчество становится всё лучше и лучше! Всех благ Вам!

[@wizniumgames8804]

I LOVE the Ares part!

[@abluerat7087]

This music is just like the tittle, nightmarish perfection

[@Atomicegg556]

I listened to this and it was an immediate Like, and I’m quite stubborn about what I like

[@kelvinbixler8876]

Bro this hits so hard! Awesome job!

I feel like your calamity songs should have unofficial in the title, by the way this is really good, one of your best tracks yet

[@DodgedMusic]

...does "fan made" not mean the same thing?

[@Sepulchre0001]

@@DodgedMusic honestly I only saw it on the title after I posted this comment

[@Sepulchre0001]

@@DodgedMusic also, I'm curious what the reason for cryogens motif was

[@DodgedMusic]

I had to really search to find a motif I could reference for them. Here's that story: Thanatos, Devourer, makes sense. Ares, Intimidating, makes sense. Artemis & Apollo, I had no idea. I did some lore searching, and settled on Cryogen due to the fact that an entire page of the Ice Lab's Draedon Log is on Permafrost, and his connection to Calamitas. Permafrost was more of a tool for wisdom and guidance, similarly to how the Twins were used for intel/spying. There's also Permafrost's connection to Calamitas, and the fact that Apollo was supposed to match Calamitas' flames. It was either Cryogen, or Calamitas, and Calamitas is literally the next or prior boss, and is overused, meanwhile Cryogen sounded really cool, broke up the scale for more variety, and is underutilized in the soundtrack. So a combination of slight lore reasons, and practicality.

[@pucctherailgunner]

masterpiece

[@ThisCatIsASilverCat]

you should get hired

[@daboss4318]

Feels like you cranked touhou and bells...and touhou bells more than any other calamity composer

[@DodgedMusic]

Hahaha No. A lot of fan composers use them as much as possible. I used them in a few bits here, a few bits there. I also only use the bells from Touhou in this one.

[@Despacite]

that's cool. Keep making music!

1:12 i swear this sounds awfully like toykomania from that one painter sans i forgot the name of

this song broke my game when i tried to listen to it from ultrasonic dawg :sob:

yeah for some reason Ultrasonic doesnt really work on Exo Mechs for a couple reasons just listen to it in the background and GIVE ME MORE VIEWS-

[@Thelnir]

​@doddged2 Just wait until I figure out how to code mods. Trust me, things are going to get crazy. Well, crazier.

​@@Thelnirgonna be lit 🔥

[@aceofconquest5745]

goodjob man

[@UltimatelyGangsty]

This is amazing! You deserve way more recognition for this piece. By any chance could you tell me the name of the map/world being used in the fight? I see a lot of people using it yet never mention what it is anywhere.

[@DodgedMusic]

I remember that the platforms are from the Infernum trailers or something, and they credited them in the description. I just extended those platforms and put wayyy more of them in a world arena.

[@greengear5005]

i spot a sforzando guitar with the METAL GTX soundfont, am i correct?

​@@YourAverageInnovationOfficer Me too!

[@yaksolo]

Почему никто не упоминает этот шикарный визуал?

[@Thelnir]

Mind if I use this for a post-Yharim exos fight in a year or two?

[@DodgedMusic]

Not at all, just credit me somewhere in the mod description or steam page and you're all set.

[@Thelnir]

​​@@DodgedMusicFair warning: I am probably going to be using a LOT of your music once I get there. Also, would you be open to making some custom tracks for that mod?

[@DodgedMusic]

absolutely. I will warn that the primary mod that's using my tracks is a Calamity add-on, but you can still use 'em, dw All my licenses are non-exclusive, so they don't have say over who I let use my stuff.

[@Thelnir]

​@doddged2 Thanks! If you're wondering what I have planned, it's mostly a content mod, with a compatibility patch between Infernum and Fargo's Souls.

[@Thelnir]

You turn off blood/gore, screen shake, and screen effects because you don't like them. I turn them off because my laptop can't handle them. We are not the same.

[@DodgedMusic]

Except I DID DISABLE THEM FOR A SIMILAR REASON The only reason the video looks nice is because I added stuff in post During the recording, because I was still on my Old PC, recording took far too much ram to have nice graphics on lmao Otherwise there would be even more noticeable FPS drops gottem

[@Thelnir]

​@doddged2 Hey, if it makes you feel better, I have a VERY good laptop, and it maxes out at about 35 FPS when ALL spawnrates are disabled, so the fact that you can get anything over 20 during this is actually rather impressive by comparison.

[@summyt09]

WHEN ARE WE GETTING THIS AS A MOD I NEED IT

[@DodgedMusic]

Going to have to use Ultrasonic!

[@АртурМанчук-ч6я]

Ares is the best,personally for me,and Thanatos is the least...Calamity-like?So,yeah,overall track is good,like,really great. Strong 8.5/10,personally for me. And,also,I have one question. You're done with Calamity,at least partially. Would you continue to do tracks for other bosses,or move to something else?

[@DodgedMusic]

I'll be doing Xeroc, maybe Noxus, and Yharim. However, I'm going to take a small break and then do some free work for people on Tmod before those.

[@Meowlegend7]

​@@DodgedMusicI cannot wait for the Yharim!

[@YourAverageInnovationOfficer]

ay rq what is the sword-like projectile weapon that is used in the fight?

[@DodgedMusic]

In the fight I was using the Seraphim, and Wraithwing primary (both rogue) Normally I go melee but the Dragon's Rage is so good against Thanatos that I switched to get footage

[@YourAverageInnovationOfficer]

​@@DodgedMusicthank you dude, keep up the good work, btw, ur music is really good

[@Thelnir]

​@@DodgedMusic That explains why I didn't recognize the projectiles. I'm a summoner main that primarily focuses on crowd control and evasion. I usually don't use rogue weapons past pre-hard.

[@DodgedMusic]

@@Thelnir I tend to stick to one class to the end in playthroughs.

[@sanscomic4226]

Good song but doesn't fit with how chaotic the fight can be.

[@DodgedMusic]

wait til this guy hears the actual song lmao

[@sanscomic4226]

@@DodgedMusic...? Link,now.

[@DodgedMusic]

@@sanscomic4226 CD did a stream (like a year ago) and even in its extremely unfinished state it wasn't Your Best Nightmare type stuff. It was mostly heavy rather than chaotic, mainly because a lot of chaos may fit the fight but it doesn't fit the character. Also, this is a fansong, I would be nuking my own video if it was less listenable, since it's not actually going in the game. It also is my song, and I don't feel like doing a piece of fan-work if it's not representative of my style. It's coming out this month I heard so you can listen to it then.
