Is it just me, or does the saxophone not even make an appearance in the in-game version? While fighting the boss and watching other videos of it, it never seems to come up. Why would they deprive us of that?

[@francoantonio9936]

I like how much like with the void and its corruption, like Tougher Times turning into Safer Spaces it feels like the instruments in this song reflect the chaotic nature of the void. Instead of majority of the songs using a (Lead Synth I think i'm no music pro) it "corrupts" it into saxophone which was really unexpected by me and I think it fits the void themed boss very well. The music for me was easily one of the coolest additions in the DLC for me.

[@nwcr_]

This is the best one. Starting with the Mithrix melody was already great, but then the sax kicks in and it just sells the whole thing

[@avi8aviate]

That melody actually originates from a song from Risk of Rain 1. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXqzeHmee7V9nsk

[@mailcs06]

That motif is shared by Providence, Mithrix, and Voidling, so I guess it sort of serves as a “Final Boss” motif for the entire Risk of Rain series.

[@RegalRoyalWasTaken]

Your boss themes are always so unimaginably menacing, I love them.

[@that1guyglitch947]

I still remember how my first audible reaction to Voidling wasnt even of the boss itself, but of getting to the Planetarium and me saying "...Oh. I ammmm *definitely* not supposed to be here, am i..?" But then that confusion was replaced by memes when Voidling appeared. We love giant enemy spider.

[@Mimikium778]

Man, I cannot get over the intro of the song, its such a powerful, outright devastating opener that does a great job at setting up this "end of the world" atmosphere, taking a theme that we used to know as the final boss of the game, and fragmenting it like the void fragments the very planet you are wandering, eventually melting into its own identity after the initial shock of what you're seeing wears off, and you fight to stay alive against this new threat, with the funky sax coming in as you get in the zone. I love this theme. Immensely. And the intro is a major part of why it all just works so well for me. Thank you, Chris!

[@jamesw3036]

This is such a kickass theme but it feels like so much more as well. If I had to describe the tone, it'd be a vengeful madness. It sounds like in your relentless pursuit for answers, to get to the bottom of the mystery, you've fallen into a yawning abyss and continue to plummet.

[@pastatheh7041]

Never have I EVER thought someone could make saxophone work as the _lead_ instrument for a boss theme, but this just hits it out of the goddamn park.

Bigger Ukelele but with such great intermission riffs, and then Tsakas comes out on the sax to feature on this! I actually didn't know much about Tsakas until I saw a vid of him at the Half Note with a Bass player I followed for a while, Yoel Soto a few months ago, regardless, they are all phenomenal musicians! Sometimes, the solos in game are different from the recordings you have here and on bandcamp. Will this sax solo be played in it's entirety in game, too? Or was there a different take used for that? Love how 4:34 resolves almost like 25.3N 91.7E, right before the disgustingly fantastic 4:37 breakdown. I want to thank you, Chris, as one music nerd to another. No other album has made me consistently do 1 of 2 things; sit in solitude at the mastery of tonal emotion coming from the music, or point at my screen and say "God damn, the madman! He did a thing! What did I just hear?! I gotta rewind that back as soon as the piece is over!!!" You can only ever hear something for the first time once, which is a damn shame, but at the very least, for every one thing I hear, I miss like 7, so I can listen to it again and again and it never gets old. So thanks.

[@theblackkoopa2329]

What does one even say to this? The music feels disorienting, never-ending, and clearly has some purposes beyond our comprehension. The entire album has built up to this moment. We ask "out of whose womb came the ice?", and the music replies: "Behold, the face of the deep!" The face disorients us with its magnitude, we see it stretch to infinity within the confines of our field of view, and - horrifyingly - it makes no sense. We are treated, as listeners, the same way that one would treat an ant running across one's desk. An intruder, but hardly even an annoyance. I would say that Bigger Ukulele reflects a sense of anger and defiance, it is very much the theme of a world raging at our presence. This song, in contrast, is what WE feel when we finally see the face of the deep. In particular the reference to Bigger Ukulele implies a boss theme, only for that to be swiftly subverted with, "Wait, what!?" So, we ask why there's a saxophone in a boss theme. The music says, "Behold, the face of the deep!" It does not care if we understand its methods. One could never explain to an ant what the purpose of a desk is. This must be your boldest piece of music ever - for the first handful of listens I actually had no idea how I felt. Well, I actually still don't know how it makes me feel beyond, for lack of better word, 'panic'. Isn't it just wonderful how music can express things that words and images could only ever hint at?
