Hey looks like I made it on time with this one, just want you to know your music is very nice on my ears and I appreciate your skill. That being said this one sounds really nice! As usual you make a tired brain like mine love music more n more with your great and awesomr ways. Hope too see another commentary lol, the man talking more about the cool stuff he makes. Honestly this one reminds me straight at home with the entire game as a whole, those drums seriously gosh. Cannot wait for music composers to react to these ones, like it is so cool to live in the day and age where, good music can continue to be my drug of choice. Thank you, really, Thank you. Big fan of your music.

awesome album

[@Spaze47]

I get so emotional listening to these tracks. There's such a peculiar sense of melancholy interwoven in the Risk of Rain OST. Even during the high energy, intense, headbanging moments, there's always a part of me that feels like bursting into tears. Genuinely, that's not a joke, it hits me that hard. Chris' work is quite simply *beautiful* beyond belief.

[@gabster137]

Aurelionite is female

[@The_Jumping_Box]

@@gabster137 "her perfection" would be referring to Aurelionite, a perfect guardian, feared by the brothers who created her, whose power eventually leaks into a golden statue made by lemurians in Providence's image. His Passion is referring to Providence, the Bulwark of the Weak, who would go rescuing species from going extinct by offering them a home, who the golden statue was made in the image of. His anger and Loneliness refers to Mithrix, The King of Nothing, who resented his brother for protecting the weak to the extent that he betrayed him, causing his brother to lock him away on the moon of Petrichor V, alone. The heretics of Petrichor V,, his followers, corrupt the statue with Lunar Corruption This all comes together to create the false son

Wait a second, you might be onto something here, maybe that's the intended "order" of the song?

[@VoidAcrid]

Chris has said in the past that there isn’t any particular order to the three parts of Om Mani. That’s why they’re separated in the album instead of being one big song, or all right next to each other in the album order.

@@VoidAcrid We'll only know when the DLC arrives and we hear them ingame to get a sense on what they're supposed to be

[@MrZEPYRO]

@@VoidAcrid Right. I saw that in the stream chat during premiere. But after listening to them in that way, I can’t help but think it’s somewhat intentional to listen to these songs both ways. 3 to 1, 1 to 3. It’s a really fun listen regardless if it’s intentional or not tho ^^

[@ankurloomba1579]

I believe I’ve mentioned this in my previous comments about your music, but I’m always amazed by how you achieve such brilliance. Oṃ Maṇi Padme Hūṃ (all three parts) along with the rest of the album from the DLC is nothing short of spectacular, and as someone with half Indian heritage, it resonates deeply with me. The nuanced pitch bending, combined with the subtle presence of tanpuras and tablas, is very well balanced. You've managed to honor the essence of a different culture while seamlessly integrating your distinctive electronic style. This track is a prime example of how artists can thoughtfully approach fusion, blending diverse influences to create something truly exceptional. Thank you once again for being a constant source of inspiration and delivering such high-quality music!

[@StarAwed]

Everything in this album is composed so beautifully, the work you've done for this is incredible and paid off. Hope you see this, thank you for everything.

The soundtrack for Seekers Of The Storm is perfect Chris. I started playing ROR2 because of friends but I stayed playing it because of the soundtrack itself. I hope to see whatever you compose next! Though it might be a while I’m guessing, because of how much has went into the soundtrack. Thanks for all the amazing songs!

[@ethanpetersen3089]

this was a fantastic piece and probably my favorite off this latest album for the dlc. i love that the sounds remind me of previous entries in the franchise and yet they circumvent all the familiarity that I expected.

If I had to guess, this is how all the songs are going to show up ingame: It Can’t Rain All The Time - stage theme A Tempestuous Noise of Thunder and Lightning Heard - boss theme I Should Build the Man a Statue - boss theme Yane No Mori- stage theme Forgot The Cry Of Gulls -boss theme Om Mani Padme Hum, part 3- stage theme Om Mani Padme Hum, Part 1 and 2 - False Son’s 1st and 2nd fight Tlālōcān - False Son’s 3rd phase/fight Om Mani Padme Hum, part 1 was used in the announcement trailer for SotS, so I presume it would be False Son’s boss theme (and a comment Chris left on the OMPH2 video says that the 3 songs are not part of one song, meaning that they are used in different boss fights/ places). Listening to OMPH3, makes me think it’s a stage theme and not boss theme because of how chill it is, also there are way too many boss sounding themes in the SotS OST already, so it kinda has to be a stage theme. I only think Tlālōcān is the final boss/phase theme because it uses DFR and we can’t have a final boss theme without DFR in it.

[@moster1539]

It can't rain all the time is already a stage track
