[@spicyraviolis732]

yes and no man Homestuck is created by one man, 'they' isn't in the right context.

[@DragonaxFilms]

True, it was created by one man, but the music team consists of several people, so "they" still fits.

[@randomfun3961]

John's Piano, Rose's Violin, Dave's Turntables, and Jade's Flute are all instruments used in this. The song is named Judgment Day. Huh. Neat.

[@safabekr]

So I'm listening to a playlist of all the homestuck songs (all of them) during school and sometimes a great song like this one just starts playing and I whip my head up like "WOAH WE JUST GOT TO A GOOD PART"

I dunno if anyone's made the comment (too lazy to read through), but I love how it uses the instruments that the beta kids all canonically could perform with :D

[@collinpoe1033]

i diddnt hear a flute tho....

[@risenRuin]

Collin Poe Jade plays a Base Guitar as well!

[@incineration-henry4560]

Idk, those are all pretty common instruments so it could be a coincidence

[@SaibaShulk]

This is such an amazing combo of instruments, surprising that there aren't as many views of this then other songs that aren't as good (in my opinion). This is like a hidden treasure that people should start finding.

[@incineration-henry4560]

this is probably a battle theme for aradia, because of all the cool ghosty whiney sounds around the end. those are used in one of her themes... so yea

[@JeanS1000100]

what no. i here a more Eridan/Equius vibe.

[@peachnkey]

@Jean Sandre no dude listen to 'phyc0ruins' ((it's honestly one of my favorite tracks)) Homestuck music uses a lot of leitmotifs, and I don't mean the team attack! leitmotifs are pretty much recurring musical themes and similar sounding melodies that are heard in many different songs. For a huge example, there's 'Rex Duodecim Angelus', that clearly uses a lot of the trolls themes from the album Alternia. for mor examples go here miles5280s.tumblr.com/post/25459922703/homestuck-leitmotif-master-post. I love that the music does this as it ties everything together and shit. it's just really cool okay but back to my point near the end of this track sounds an awful lot like 'phyc0ruins' listen for yourself

[@shamrocksardonic2582]

@@peachnkey It's closer to a theme for the Beta kids. It incorporates all the instruments they knew how to play/were associated with them.

100 Homestuck songs later and I've yet to find a bad one

[@TheAmberFang]

I'd say it's just referring to the day the kids started playing Sburb beta in the first place; that's the day the meteors fell, and not a single day had passed by the time they caused the Scratch, which ended the entire universe.

[@castor9907]

Except for Dave because he did like 3 days in that span of 1 because time travel

Damn, could honestly recognize that it was Toby Fox's work before I read the description.

[@TaismoFanBoy]

GUYS! For all you who are wondering why his windy thing is red, think back to [S] Cascade. He uses the same red tornadoes that were in Rose's [S] Enter to kill lots of the bad guys while he performs the scratch. He CAN use red tornadoes...

[@asushinfan]

@haseoskieth1 the reason john is on the album art is because this song was inspired by karkat talking about all the shit sburb was going to throw at john. sometimes things are less complex than they seem.

Guys. Guys, look at this. This song is in 13/4 time. 413. It is also at 413 beats per minute. 413 again. Hussie you evil genius.

[@LlyonaFang]

holy crap i was trying to figure out the time signature and was like thats some weird subdivision like 123-123-123-12-12 and i never heard of 13/8 but this makes much more sense

[@DiomedesIsHit]

That violin intro reminds me a little of the Age of Empires theme.

[@UncleApothecary]

@FwugRadiation Yes, it really does mimic the style with the rising strings and the quick beats.

[@tygonmaster]

Si Fron Namasuke Because of Legacy comments, I cannot directly reply to your comment, but in response to what you said on the video, Homestuck Vol.8 - 34 Judgment Day: "Is this the official Hussie commissioned pic for the song? Or is it generically selected fanart?" It is the official picture that is used for the song, so while I am unaware if it was what one might call a commission, it was selected by Andrew Hussie to be an official part of Homestuck art. It was created by Lazylaz. I do not think his/her tumblr is still active, but it use to be lazylaz.tumblr. Hope that helps some. Source: The Homestuck official bancamp page. ^_^

You guys do realise that this is in 13/4 time at 413bpm, right? It doesn't sound too much like that because the only part of the song that is actually going that fast is the drums.
