This song doesn't just stick out to me because of how good it is, it's also because of what was happening while this was playing. The whole scene was amazing and terrifying.

[@elianalkoutami1935]

i agree it is a very good match to the energy of the scene

[@topotu_7473]

The sound effects and scream really add to it so much

[@bvp794]

Very true! Any time I hear this song, i can vividly play its part in the show in my mind..

Yess! Footsteps of Doom is one of my favorites from season 4 alongside “From you 2000 years ago”. It’s a beautiful track you should check out sometime!

[@viriatox9782]

Great reaction of one of the best AOT tracks. A fun fact: When the footsteps are heard, it is always 4 footsteps. That's because the number 4 in Japanese has a similar pronunciation to the word "death". Because of this, in Death Note, many of the notebook rules have that number (within 40 seconds of writing a person's name, that person will die; or you have 6 minutes and 40 seconds (400 seconds) to write a specific cause of death). death, etcetera).

[@lucaspoon4202]

Or... also just because the song is in 4/4 like most songs in general lol Unless someone like the composer or idk explained all that.

[@alberto.delbono]

@@lucaspoon4202 i think this song can also be written is 6/8

[@adistyacnugroho7583]

Ah, i got what you you talk. In Japanese, number 4 eventually said by "yon" but "shi" not always came with the talks. That because 4 "shi" also had a meaning "death". For example like "omae wa mo SHIndeiru."

[@mkon29]

@@adistyacnugroho7583 that's because "yon" is a kunyomi (traditional japanese reading) and "shi" is an onyomi (chinese reading) of the character 四 (4) which they borrowed from China, as basically all the other hieroglyphs (kanji). So, in China, the number 4 is also considered unlucky, as well as in Japan. :)

[@ookami5329]

that's so awesome

[@danielduarte6802]

0:11 "Before Lights Out" and "Apetitan" are basically different versions of the same song. "Apetitan" is the epic instrumental version; "Before Lights Out" is the rock version with lyrics; "tooth-i:" is the tragic instrumental version.

[@curse5697]

[@mkon29]

"This chord progression is so dark" - Dude. Imagine us, the show viewers, experiencing this score for the first time along with the possibly one of the DARKEST scenes in the anime (not gonna spoil, dw ^^). But it honestly felt like my soul was leaving my body at that moment, while I was frozen to the screen, it was so eerie and disturbing 😬😰

[@Bosston62]

Now that you're watching the show, going back to listen to these tracks after is gonna feel way different and way more emotional

[@freiheit1074]

Footsteps of doom is one of the pieces that gives you the dark feel of footsteps that will bring doom.

The moment the episode this came with dropped, Angel of Doom by Shiro Sagisu played in Evangelion 1.11 was dethroned as my favorite song immediately (and I love that song) Just goes to show how much work was put into this masterpiece! (wait I'm just now realizing that my two recent favorite songs had "of Doom" in the title lol)

[@dimitrisnikoloulis4071]

From the best anime series soundtracks. Kohta Yamamoto did an excellent job.

[@asinjizalo9553]

Yes People were afraid that the music would lose quality because Hiroyuki Sawano is no longer involved as intensely since he doesn't really compose a new theme for the final part. In my opinion it was a necessary change I think it allows to have tracks that sound a little different from what we have already heard and since the final season is different from the rest we had to bring something else. Even if Sawano could have done it himself, I have no doubt about it. But as he works closely with KOHTA YAMAMOTO on many projects so he composed the main music I think he said it's in good hands while staying in the kind of sounds we make since he influences each other Thanks to this I think that aot will forever have one of the most remarkable ost for an anime in any case with an obvious link to its history for everything you hear

[@naisaShip]

when this started playing in the anime I was literally terrified. especially that creepy sound in the background at a certain point. as an anime only I was frozen.

[@rashad0026]

Check out other songs from this season like Splinter Wolf, The Warriors, The Successor, Nightmare, Zeek's Plan, Night of the End, Into the Night. Ashes on the Fire PTV.

[@stevenyee1055]

MAN-Child was also pretty good, love its erie tone.

[@siddharthgaur2205]

This ost is literally how to summon a demon lord 😉 and it fits for the scene this was created for .

YES! F*CKING YES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG! Always a pleasure to listen to your analysis about one of my favourite ost of all time.

[@AtlasBenighted]

Thanks!

[@hla0roo]

What makes this piece so especially brilliant is how the composer develops his three themes and overlays them with each other. There is very little in the way of anything "new," just excellent reusing of previous material. That and the fact that this is probably the darkest "apocalypse" theme I've ever heard. Eat your heart out Orff!

[@supert5678]

Such a perfect song for that apocalyptic feel. Favorite of season 4 for sure

[@curse5697]

Day 95 of requesting House of Sacred Remains from Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. Beautifully atmospheric track and one of my fave's from video games in general. It'd be awesome to hear what you think of it. It's the theme of a level set starting from a cathedral and ending in the crypts through lots of library areas, it's not a particularly significant or infamous level at all but I think the track really reflects the hallowed grounds housing sacred relics beautifully. The 4 minute upload from the Castlevania Sound Team is the one to listen to.
