Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire Custom Theme (Piano)

In this video, I share my custom theme for Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire. This is how I wish the theme sounded, using what worked from Junkie XL's Godzilla VS Kong soundtrack, that being Kong's themes, and ditching the plagiarized Godzilla music in favor of licensing Akira Ifukube's actual Godzilla theme. Additionally, this would combine the original King Kong VS Godzilla theme into the mix to celebrate 70 years of Godzilla and 62 years of King Kong and Godzilla sharing the screen.
The music would have played out very similarly in the actual film with the slow Kong music playing as he discovers the Parrot Frog and then transitioning into the montage catching us up on Godzilla and Kong while the Godzilla VS Kong main title theme is combined with Ifukube's King Kong Vs Godzilla them. This would end with Godzilla fighting Scylla while his original music played.

Holy shit this is amazing - I was not expecting this to be THAT good! Great job. Wingard should let you write the next MV OST.

Thank you so much!! I’m glad you liked it

I just saw the movie yesterday .

[@DMan1954]

Whatcha think of it?

[@Gojirawars03]

Ironically, I don’t think Holkenborg’s Godzilla theme really fully clicked with me the right way until this movie came out. Now I can’t really get it out of my head, lol. Maybe the problem in GvK was that the instrumentation felt too bland, and that, combined with how much the motif was overused in GvK made it feel a lot lamer. In GxK, meanwhile, it appears rarely, in conjunction with Godzilla doing really cool shit, with a faster beat and sometimes a chorus backing up the melody this time around, making it feel a lot more distinct from Ifukube’s theme and helping make it feel more impactful when it’s used.

[@ShinGoji1987Official]

Fantastic rendition man! Really wish we could've gotten something like your version

[@DMan1954]

Thanks, man! It's a shame they're still plagiarizing rather than licensing at the moment. I doubt that'll change for the next one. lol

[@donovancapet8924]

Absolutely amazing! This is a great custom theme and I love the incorporation of several songs old and new. A fully orchestrated version of this song with strings, synths, horns, and all would be so grand and epic

[@WasabiTurtle]

I really appreciate these piano melodies. Something about just an acoustic session is always special. I know you don’t get the most views on these compared to your other content but I hope you don’t stop doing these as long as you’re enjoying making them. The passion to learn not just how to play these songs but to memorize and write some of your own your own sheets! Kudos, good sir!

[@IndecisiveKaiju54]

This is so cool!!! I wish the score for movie had been as impactful. I’m currently learning the piano and I hope to be this good.

Old school classic for the win!! Ps. Love both of them but gonna predict the next one film music going to be a classic theme to the Shows/Hesiei theme

[@dinoxels]

Really love this! Especially how you made the GvK tracks sound..pitch shifted? Played differently than your GvK covers? Idk how to explain it but it’s cool

[@DMan1954]

Thanks! Yeah, I changed the key to fit with the King Kong VS Godzilla main title rather than playing it as it was originally written

[@hugevasectomy5505]

always love your custom themes and covers, keep it up man!

[@acGyakushu_and_Shin]

Wait, what do you mean Bear McCreary and Junkie XL didn't collab and make this masterpiece? On a more serious note, I love that this has the hype energy of Gvk's opening that the original theme failed to deliver on. Your work definitely blows the original soundtrack out of the water. Also, the description implies that this is an alternate opening theme for the movie. Would it be possible for you to write alternate tracks for more scenes in the movie (Godzilla attacking the French nuclear power plant, the final battle, etc.)?

You know, I don’t normally make requests (and if this already exists, please excuse my not knowing) but yo please mash up the ‘33 Kong theme with the ‘54 Gojira theme and the ‘62 KKvG theme if possible!!?! I always can hear it in my head but hearing it plunked out would be awesome was

[@blackprism5381]

So where are your thoughts on David Callahan being the writer for the sequel to GXK

[@DMan1954]

I don't really have any thoughts on the next film yet considering so much will change before they get to shoot it.

[@kingjohn8980]

Have you ever done Bagan’s theme?

[@DMan1954]

I'm not the biggest fan of that one

[@ianquinones1337]

See it’s possible to integrate original themes with modern sounding music but Junkie refuses to even try cuz he just wants all the credit to himself 💀

[@faithslayer202]

If memory serves me right, it was Adam Wingard who said Godzilla's theme wasn't frightening enough

[@DMan1954]

I belive there's a strange mix of ego and different preferences involved with the current decision to use a plagiarized version of Godzilla's theme rather than licensing Godzilla's theme from Toho again. It mostly comes down to Adam Wingard not loving that theme's association with the American Godzilla and a desire to have their "own" Godzilla theme.

[@kaijubeyondbelief8053]

Hey Dman!, I’m curious on what are your thoughts on Cyber-Godzilla from the animated series, who’s a homage to Mechagodzilla?
