Drummer Reacts to "Arknights EP - All hail Savior!"

[@nekurokundesu]

The company who made this game is a music company in disguise.

[@CatharsisYT]

Ah, just like Riot Games then

[@Jukantos]

@@CatharsisYT Riot outsources their music to some very talented studios, but HyperGryph unironically made their own music label called Monster Siren Records. They unironically ARE a music company (although primarily still a game developer). And of course it immediately became a meme in the community that they are primarily a music company using the game to finance their musical extravagance.

[@sli136]

Interesting you mentioned RWBY, because the singer did sing for RWBY vol6 end credit song. And the composer for many RWBY songs Jeff and Casey Lee Williams also worked on at least one song for Arknights. Arknights music is a deep rabbit hole though. Any genre you can think of, classical to rock to country to hip hop, they probably have a few covered.

[@sli136]

Let us know your interested genre, whether we should focus on rock / heavy metal or something entirely different. Arknights music charm is not just the quality of individual songs, which does have an excellent standard, but its sheer variety. If you search in KZbin you will find many other musicians' reaction / jamming of Arknights songs. There might be AK fans providing you with a decent playlist to go through. Would love to see your reaction or even cover in the future!

I'm a fan of all music personally. Bluegrass to black metal, orchestral to showtunes and everything between

Dum Dum Dum, another one joins this rabbit hole that is Monster Sirens Records, Arknights' music label

[@sibericusthefrosty9950]

Fun Fact: This song serves no purpose in the game, and it is simply to assert the character's (which in this case, Gavial the Invincible) character. My recommendations are: - Real Me - Zone 10^-18 - Operation Pine Soot And from an in-game band, Alive Until Sunset: - Aflame Avenue - ALIVE

[@beo3828]

The company that makes the music for Arkknights is called Monster Siren (MSR). It's all extremely good and it covers pretty much every single genre you can think by now.

Good reaction! Was fun for sure. Arknights is interesting because they have a HUGE variety in their songs. This is up there on rock side of things. I would also recommend: Radiant Eternal Flame Alive Keep The Torch Field in the Light But jeez there is so much good music made arknights. Definitely a music company in disguise. If there is ever a particular genre you want to hear arknights definitely has it somewhere.

[@similartracks]

Vocal is Adrienne Cowan.. her band is Seven Spires.. definitely worth checking out fun fact... Spires track "Lightbringer"(my least fav) features Casey id start with "Gods of Debauchery" followed by "Cabaret of Dreams" if interested

[@kapacb2412]

Recommendations for another track would be next: Eternal Flame March on! Martyr Guiding Ahead boss battle theme Ideal City Carnival boss battle theme Undertopia I think for now it's enough, but there's so much more!

[@Ananda_Pramudana]

Glad you enjoyed it Maybe next you can hear to "Operation Pyrite" or "Eternal Flame" from Arknights

[@MrTsunamie231]

CC#1 Operation Pyrite for sure is a recommendation.

[@andrzej335]

Most of the cc themes from arknights are a hit. Maybe not so drum concentrated but still bangers. Operation pyrite and pine soot would be a good begining.

[@tomatomaki]

The start of an infection. Jokes aside, i do really glad you've enjoyed Arknights' song so far.

[@Petterwass]

The vocals are so amazing in this. Both this and Awaken has amazing female vocals but at completely opposite ends of the scale

[@JullOxW]

Hey! I don't comment on other videos but guess I have to on this one 🤣 Glad you enjoyed the music that much! Arknights is indeed a gacha game but I like to say that compared to others gachas, the money you spent in is nicely used. :p There's a joke amongst the community that Hypergryph (Arknights's devs company) "is a music company" and not a game one. I'm not knowledgeable enough to understand all the references you talked about, but there's indeed a lot of inspiration in all the game songs (and a wide variety of genras), I can't say if this specific song was inspired by other music artists though. One thing about the audio mix of your video btw. We can't hear you clear enough when the music is playing, it's too loud compared to your audio and I think you should try to fix that on your next one. As for the songs recommendation. I'll leave a few ones but I think it would be better to pick from another comment (to change) 👍 - Spark for Dream: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noWbkGWBdr6VsNU - Radiant: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5m4m3djYrqIjJY Hope my fellow Arknights comrade will find your channel and subscribe!

I loved the reactions during the song, All Hail Savior goes really hard. My personal recommendation for other Arknights tracks is Boiling Blood, ALIVE and Radiant

[@VCE4]

I would call that a suitable introduction Welcome to the world of Arknights

[@SigmentKurosai]

Arknights EPs cover almost every genre imaginable. Nothing goes this hard among them, IMO, but other great tracks include Boiling Blood, Renegade, Speed of Light, Eternal Flame and Radiant. For instrumental tracks, I recommend And Yet It Wanes, Field in the Light amd Bridge to the Dawn.

[@manoi8]

well that's a good song for an introduction, they have a lot of "fun" music, can't wait to see your reaction to other songs

[@saeran_z]

it's funny how mobile games, gacha games even, has proven to have good impressions on people just by the music alone, lol as a 3 year player on Arknights, I can say that playing this game is a hurdle (it is very hard, especially being a tower-defense game) but the music is one of the things that will keep you hooked to play it every new trailer, a new BGM or an EP drops, for the featured characters of that event or maybe evn from the event itself, that's why I think Arknights is one of the mobile gacha games that perfectly balanced the aspect of gaming (tower defense) with the aspect of it's own sheer variety of music. for suggestions for the EPs, since you listened to All hail Savior, I can say you can try listening to "Eternal Flame," "Operation Pyrite," "Operation Pine Soot," and possibly "Real Me" anyway, great reaction, and welcome to the Arknights music rabbit hole, lol

[@kayobee604]

Being hard is the best part, in fact I'd say most of the content is not hard enough. Easy games are not stimulating enough to keep me interested.

[@shoumatsu7]

Well, another one joins the Arknights music hype! My recommendations are gonna be "Radiant" and "Heal the World" :)

[@NoBoZ69]

Arknights things to check out: Character themes, such as: Arknigths EP - Radiant Contingency Contract Ost (all of them) Boss themes: Martyr, Stultifera Navis, etc. Event lobby themes The list goes on as it's a bit of a meme that Hypergryf is a Music Company in Game Company disguise

[@Rezalmd]

In the name of god the most merciful Hello To be honest, I disagree with some game fans who say that Hypergraph is a music company, not a game, even as a joke! I'm an experienced gamer and I've played a lot of Gacha games, but I've never seen so much love and passion from game developers for a mobile game. You can see that all the outfits and skins in this game are made by real designers and in their own in game name. Any music that is made for a part of the game is made for a specific operator and other musics and animations and art styles are clearly in the service of the game. The gameplay is all about respecting the player. Both in the way that the game doesn't delay you to recharge your stamina(Stamina charge not have limtations) and that it doesn't bother you with the third layer of items (items that have a certain percentage of a certain percentage of drop rate). And such items do not exist externally (such as artifacts in Geshin Impact). Arknights game is many like Bloodborne game on PlayStation console. And this is the main reason that cause this game has fewer players compared to Genshin Impact and others.Arnights and Bloodborne are not a casual game.Arknights invite u to challenges and you have to practice for stages and bosses again and again. Exactly what makes us fall in love with Bloodborne. The environment and theme of the game is dark and not made for everyone! Not everyone can enjoy the challenge. Of course, some players of arknights say that we don't have time for practice and challenge, and we want to finish the stage in one hand just by watching the video from yourube and the guidance of others. these players are the ones who don't understand the depth of the game and say that this company is a music company(at least plse dont analysis game).While devlopers sacrificed everything for the game. When I played the new Is2 Arknights mode, I was reminded of the bloodborne dungeons! It was as if I was playing Bloodborne! This level of elegance and beauty has never existed in other gacha games such Ganshin Impact. in Genshin instead, despite the creations like Paimon in Ganshin, it feels like the game is for the age group of ten to fifteen years old! But because of the casualness of the game, the audience of the game is more. Just like Bloodborne has its own audience on the console, and a game like GTA has hundreds of times more audience! Arknights with this depth is revolutionary in Gatcha. The low number of players in this game compared to some other games shuld never mislead you! You have more than 250 operators with different skills that you can deploy ten at the same time. This is also a record. I always had a clichéd feeling about the story of Gacha games and the truth is that it was normal, but when this volume of the depth of the game is played in the background music, the graphics (playing at the highest graphics on average phones without any problems) I came to the conclusion that the creators who put so much love into the work must have paid special attention to the story, and I read more and saw that most of the story of Arcknights and Lore is in the shadows, and again, like Bloodborne, which has no narrative method is special, To understand the story of Arknights, u should to know the operators, go to the side missions, even pay attention to the music of the characters and animations, so that the clues of the story will become familiar to you. I saw many people, when they see a trailer of Arknights on KZbin, they say at the end, what was going on here? I did not understand at all what happened? This is exactly what we call depth and art of games. and respect for established players. The trailer invites you to read Lor and those who have not read it will not understand. Just like Bloodborne, you have to look everywhere from the statues to the papers in the corner of the game and the few cutscenes of the game in order to understand things! Thats not come in one go! every time u undetstand somthing new! Pure art! the detals are important .wich couse Games in holl become deepest and them most complete face of art. u discovered things during gameply with ur own will. The reason why I came to the gaming and I consider it the deepest aspect of art! and now arknights did it very well. You can't ignore the Developers of arknights love for their game, where they sacrificed everything, even making more money, to inject real love and art into their players. They could have gone the other way, they could not make this amount of music in the name of a mobile game, they could have done many things that would disrupt the framework of the game and make the game easier, but not only they do not go this way, but the game is more challeging with with new mods and new updates and mechanics. It will be more challenging! I got to know the creators of the game there, I wrote 5 different points in five different surveys to them and ask them, and all five points were solved or added to the game! I say with certainty that I have never seen such attention and love for the gamers in any other game. Now, does all this mean that the game is okay? Nothing in this world is ever 100%. But if you don't like games like Bloodborne and Challengeing don't come to this game or at least don't provide an analysis! One of the points that bothered me was the childishness of some characters. For example, Amiya, the main character, and the way she talks to us were uncomfortable for me at first, but when I saw the animation of Arknights and saw the level of honesty, purity and simplicity of Amiya in a world full of hypocrisy and lies, this is where I felt a little different from Bloodborne was created, but then i think it was not bad at all because we all went through that time age, when if we made a mistake, it was not on purpose, but it was just an emotional reaction. Its simplicity. Her beauty is not in her eyes or ears or her face. What makes Amiya lovly is her love and kindness for everyone. It doesn't matter if person is her enemy or her friend.she always wanna help them. Now I was thinking that if Amiya was an adult (adults at age who makes war in real world and evey badthing came from them) and had such purpose bad actions, I would never have accepted her as honst speaker! and it was more like the false images of Hollywood movies that saw frequntly from the real world! Arknights animation solved this problem for me! Although I still had a little trouble with the discussion of the animal's tail, horns, and ears, now, for whatever reason, I think it is far from human dignity. But this is due to the fact that the creators made such an effort to create such a work and spent all their art for the game. I would have liked more cases of belief in heaven, hell and God in the game, of course, this is a personal opinion I believe that all the problems of our world will be solved only by the promised sav ior. Sorry for my bad english i am not nattive. (May god guide all of us)
