Destiny: Rise of Iron - Aksis Theme (Extended) - Raid Edit

Since I found SnaKe M0NsT3R's edit to be incorrect and sounding too much like the OST's "Eyes Up" after the additional intro (no offence to them), I took upon myself to cobble together- SIVA-ify- an extended version from all parts of the original song as well as recorded in-game audio.
Artists: Michael Salvatori, Skye Lewin, C Paul Johnson & Rotem Moav.
Here is a link to the pictures used for the video, taken by yours truly:

For Aksis, this is his final stand and meeting the ones who killed Sepiks (twice) and his followers. It was the most important day of his life. For us...it's every Tuesday.

[@TheOneTrueStAN]

I'll admit it... This is my favorite raid boss. Probably an unpopular opinion, but I just feel that this one was the most climactic and challenging boss battles in Destiny. The entire team needed to be alive and alert at all times and the music is classic Bungie levels of awesome and really gets me pumped every time I hear it. Plus those last 10 seconds or so where he's at 2% health and everyone's firing everything they have at Aksis, not even wasting the time to reload as your team guns him down is just amazing. Aksis is an awesome battle. Challenging but leaves me feeling accomplished every time I manage to bring him down with my team.

[@ghostlypenguin4417]

Ian Knight and the siva density critical part is like "you're succeeding, go again!"

[@daxzenjravencoolers1183]

Ian Knight exactly like that

[@Darkness-dv6sz]

Ian Knight What's interesting is that he may not be in complete control of SIVA. In the Grimoire, it states that Aksis, in his own words is saying, "Sometimes I do things without thinking about them, like something else is pulling the strings" This shows that maybe Aksis isn't actually controlling SIVA, but either SIVA is controlling him, or something else entirely

[@oliverhenderson6222]

[@KingSangos]

Deep below in the darkest recesses of the Plaguelands is a forgotten vault of untold mysteries. For centuries it remained untouched; a forgotten relic of an age long past. But now, after the fall of the Taken King, something... or someone... ~consume enhance replicate~ ... has claimed dominance over it. Rooting itself deep within the soil of the Cosmodrome, a once disgraced Eliksni Splicer Priest has begun its dark pilgrimage unto godhood. For in the end, why worship a machine god when you can become one? ~consume enhance replicate~ This was the modus operandi of the once-hated criminal known as Aksis. It was he who discovered the nano-plague, SIVA and it was he who led the Splicer's crusade against the people of the Last City and their Guardians. Yet Aksis' mind was not his own. Rather, its mind was becoming something greater; something new. No longer the god in the machine ~consume enhance replicate~ , but a machine in the god. Take heed, Guardians. The foe you face today is unlike any you have ever faced. Yes. you may have put a stop to Time's Conflux, defeated the Son of Oryx, punished the Kell of Kells and destroyed the Taken King. But will your light... and your determination... be enough to destroy one who is no longer himself? Dare you venture deep beneath the Cosmodrome to face the Archon Prime? ~consume enhance replicate~

The music is particularly prominent in this raid. In Atheon you were to focused to pay attention to the music and in crota it was only when you were about to split his colon in half with a sword that the music really built up, oryx (When the challenge mode was on) It was a shouting fest until it was over, the best part is when everyone retreats after damage phase to the pillars and the epic build up happens when he decides to blow up everything. TLDR; It's an amazing sound track that makes most Guardians moist.

[@danielfuentes2999]

Kinda, he doesn't have a living brain but he does have his consciousness in the metal body of his

[@SleeperJohns]

See, this is the one that's in the raid. Even the original was incorrect or my Headphones were too good.

[@KnightValfodr]

The original "Eyes Up" was done solely for the soundtrack release, so of course what we hear in-game is different. Also, most of the bits of music in Aksis's fight are randomized after throwing bombs on him for the first time.

[@atomicbaconbits6695]

It actually repeats after each SIVA Density Critical without the intro. And the begins to loop the song until either you beat him or wipe.

[@KnightValfodr]

I've noticed that the entire segment from 0:00-1:46 is invariable (with 0:54 being the first time you receive empowerment) according to every other channel's playthrough of the fight, and from then on breaks down to whether you have forced Aksis into teleporting, or are stalling until he himself starts emitting SIVA critical, in which case 2:25-3:25 (SIVA density critical motif) overrides every other theme, even when you clutched the bomb throwing phase and are on your way to stun and damage him. I've also observed that the SIVA density motif can sometimes fail to trigger if your team happens to DPS Aksis faster than the theme can keep up with. Rise of Iron's main motif can only start blaring during the stunning phase, so that's pretty much the fight's musical pattern.

I know but Crota's End is a good raid too but It hasn't a soundtrack like this, Im waiting for the Wrath of Machines return to Destiny 2.

Honestly no words can truly explain the majesty and intensity of this theme. It works so beautifully with the actual fight. If you do this raid enough, specifically this encounter you can pick up exactly which part was happening at each point cause the entire fight is on a timer. You can feel the empowerment of being super charged with light too the point of boiling out of you. This is you, your guardian at the most powerful they've ever been, even in Destiny 2 we haven't been past this point yet. And then using that light too rip the corrupted SIVA out of aksis too stun him long enough to you too damage. And I also love that they didn't have any axe mechanics because this i any about the iron lords this is about you and your journey. You start the game out by killing the Devil Archon, how fitting is it that you end the game by defeating the most powerful Fallen too ever live.

We're all Legends

[@kyroterra4380]

Witht he exception of Vault of Glass being reprised...this theme is so iconic that it was adopted as the iron banner theme for Destiny 2, this is why I vote Aksis as THE best raid boss music in both D1 and D2.

[@maxiGNR87]

Amazing work!

Still the best raid change my mind.

Never played Destiny 1. But I'm so glad I found this. Man this would've been sick to play through in D1

[@abdoul5176]

Lol I feel you haven't touched a single Destiny game yet but I'm obsessed with the universe and lore I'll probably start with D3.

[@commentingchannel9776]

@@abdoul5176 I really recommend that you try out New Light the moment it comes out. It gives you access to all D2Y1 content, and, well, it's free, and if you like it, you can buy the expansions and it shouldn't be too hard for you to catch up on the most relevant content, especially after Shadowkeep potentially renders some currently must-have items less useful in favour of the new items.

[@abdoul5176]

@@commentingchannel9776 Thanks for the suggestion. New Light sounds great but playing any game atm isn't possible for me right now, life doesn't allow it.

PERFECT SONG

[@theroad599]

Randall Cattermole for one who seek perfection yet not a Kell..

[@DeadChocobo]

he had surpassed Kell of Kells...Skolas can suck it, Aksis ascended into the heavens.

[@theroad599]

Ian Knight but still an archon aksis is more powerful than skolas but the only thing that skolas has better than aksis is that he ascended into Kell and that is a great thing.. size of body'cleverness' more control over the banner and even got a archon. House of devils is weak that's why aksis couldn't be a kell even in the final battle you fight only shanks.. remember the army that skolas have in the final battle?

[@spider-man2153]

Saito Road don't forget vosik has an army too you know

[@DeadChocobo]

technically the House of Devils is the biggest threat to the last city and Cosmodrome...they are the only house that actively moves closer and closer to the city, and ignores the boundaries of the wall. House of Kings is not really active, more strategists that would let the Devils take the lead. And if I may just speculate for a moment..i believe Skolas wanted House of Devils more than any other house because they are the biggest fighters. They sent the Silent Fang after them specifically.

[@randomstuff1419]

i mean if its challenge mode yes that would be a reset

[@sirsleepy1411]

LegoTS Productions The best feeling is when your group DPS is kinda' meh and Aksis has shit loads of health by the final rotation. But then everyone finally pulls themselves together and clutches the crap out of him with perfect timing and consistent crits for the kill. That was my first challenge mode Aksis kill, and it was the most glorious moment in the game.

[@TisDansk]

Probably the best piece in destiny history

Here before the inevitable return in D2, best Raidboss music imo

[@Fuzely]

I'm not so sure about this masterpiece returning in D2 anymore

[@thegreatdavinci3894]

Listening to that absolute last minute always hits soo hard. To me it just reminds me that although rn in both the game and in life we are facing by far our greatest challenges we are reminded that through it all we are never alone and the ones we love and love us back be it friends and family are always behind us when we push back our own darkness and once victory is achieved and we keep our eyes up, we know that there are many more to come but we’ll be stronger than before to meet them

[@KillaManReaper2]

Wrath of the machine was undeniably my favorite raid in destiny history. I have a group of 7 or 8 friends and when we played this raid it was among the best experiences I had in destiny. Sure it was difficult at first but once we advanced in power level and learned the mechanics it was so much fun to run through. Also had some of my favorite weapons in destiny's history only second to vaults weapons.
