I love how between "Double Fucking Rainbow", "You're Gonna Need a Bigger Ukulele", "The Face of the Deep" and now THIS, this has been solidified as the official "OH SHIT" theme of the series, which is made even more poignant by the usage of the game's main theme leitmotif in this particular composition. The rain has indeed returned, and oh, how it thunders! Much love, Chris! Amazing work as always!

The cover artwork summarizes pretty much the whole game and I love it 'Tiny astronaut vs big things: The game: reloaded'

[@invalidusername3399]

This theme singlehandedly skyrocketed Providence as one of my favorite final bosses of all time. The fight itself was action packed, and was really fun, but then I get jump scared by that unexpected final phase, and this banger starts playing in the background. I love how this letimotif keeps reappearing, and how it connects everything together. Providence, Mithrix, and even Voiding all share this motif somewhere in there tracks, and it's beautiful how subtle, yet also obvious it is to connect them together And I saw somewhere that Chris said we may see the theme again, and I bet you it'll be in the theme for the False Son in SotS...

I really didn't pay much atention to the "instruments" of RoR ost before, well, maybe just that "chainsaw guitar riffs" in the begining of Boat Made From a Sheet of Newspaper, as i call them, but this SCREAMING synth on 1:40 just... M-m, chef kiss. While player don't know what do with forth fase and screams in confusion, this track screams too, about that very danger in front of you, incomprehensive powerful being that just refused to die second time in a row and now starts blasting green lasers all over arena.

And so he left with censor hunger yet to sate...

[@Chelarino]

i know that the double f***ing rainbow riff didn't really start out as any special theme, it only really became that when it became part of "you're gonna need a bigger ukulele", and then later got referenced in " the face of the deep", but let's be honest everyone kinda considers it the "final boss leitmotif kinda thing" at this point so you cannot imagine how happy i am that it kinda got retconned into the providence fight as well, but without just straightup replacing the original song, which i wouldn't have wanted but the buildup with what i consider the "risk of rain" leitmotif (the 4 notes that appear all over coalescence and various other tracks), also the sound textures basically uniting your old style from ror1 with the newer stuff from survivors of the void, up until that big reveal this song has it all this song is the culmination this song is risk of rain

[@AstronautDown]

It wasn't written as a "special" theme but it was my favourite theme ever since 2013, so it's not an accident that I revisit it constantly. Who knows, maybe we'll hear it again in the future...

[@historygamez5106]

its always been implied through lore that providence is the stronger of the two brothers, even as Mithrix could design and build things that providence could not open, it was clear he had to put a large amount of effort into providing his followers with a moment hole, a gate that providence could not break, however, through the lunar items and all other attempts Mithrix made to take over the planet, Providence always found a way to halt that progress.

As Engineer, deploying his Prototype Laser Turret at exactly 1:31 is the perfect timing for it to blast Providence as the music drops. I have become well practiced in the timing.

[@smashpedro]

Inarguably the most remarkable motif in the entire trilogy so far. From Double Freaking Rainbow, to You're Gonna Need a Bigger Ukulele, then to The Face of the Deep, now finishing with tremendous precipitation into this absolute master of a piece.

[@hubertjohnson418]

In my experience if you go to him first loop fourth phase is more than enough to hear the whole theme

[@joelcrapgoecramp]

Personally, I like the original Double F-ing Rainbow more. It just has a more gritty feel to it than this one, and the slower BPM made it feel very heavy and tense. This one is almost too happy in comparison. Not saying it's bad by any means, just saying I prefer the original.

This piece, much like Providence himself, moves with more purpose than any song that uses the Double Fucking Rainbow leitmotif. Then, it withdraws a bit, showing how enigmatic of a character Providence is to the Survivor at this point in time. He gets them wondering: who is this guy? Why was he so hellbent on bringing down the Contact Light? He moves with more purpose, but what is his purpose? And most of all, why does the Survivor feel like they've made a terrible mistake?... ...Why did they have a teleporter from Petrichor V on the ship?

[@ezrastewart543]

Why did they??? I really want to know the lore reason, man....

[@Quaera]

This is actually some of the best music I’ve heard in my life. I discovered the ROR and DEADBOLT games because I came across the music and loved it so much that I decided to buy the games (usually it’s the other way around) to hear the music in its intended setting. You have been by far my favorite composer ever, I genuinely cried while listening to Coalescence after all these years.

Hey Chris, wanted to say great job of amplifying the fear factor I got by ten with this amazing score! It really is the “oh shi-“ theme, and hope it continues. Also I just realized an insane possibility. I know you might not be the guy to make this happen, but what if RORR and Terraria had a crossover update! Providence along with your music would fit so well in terraria’s world, and I’m sure there is an item or two that could be added that came from terraria. Idrk, just sounded like a cool idea, it’d be so cool if that were to happen.

It was fun. Got to fix some stuff that always bugged me.

[@Pavel...]

[@parkercoughlin2226]

All the boss themes have so much personality ill write what I personally hear in them Double fishing rainbow makes me think of determination and victory through sheer will. Providence refuses to go down without a fight and a fight you will certaintly get. You're gonna need a bigger ukulele is more violent and grainy mithrix isnt happy to see you and fully plans on squahing this insignificant bug. It sounds of a cruel ruthless nature with the synth tying it together as something otherwordly that has no real place. The face of the deep is agressive it opens with the signature risk of rain boss synth which presents this grand behemoth before you. Then cuts to a low guitar sound with drums later pariing with a saxophone which cant be heard in any of the other sings showing how differnt this strange world yluve found yourself in is as it grows in aggresiveness as the song goes on it very much gives "you come into my house and tell me how to arrange my furniture" vibe. And it crescendos in the end with grainy guitar part that shows the voidlings panic as it runs out of places to run and has to stare down death in a last stand.
