II. The Regime - Music for Shattered Suns

[@hjw2029]

When Byf does the Lightfall equivalent of Dynasty, he should definitely use your music.

[@sunshotwithanornament2475]

I wonder what the video would be maybe the history of the witness or something like that

[@jamesthistleton]

All for it!

[@Ash_6614]

i mean dynasty was a huge deal, let's not count on him making one for lightfall

Honestly, dude, this is phenomenal. I cannot find the words to praise it enough; this is incredible.

[@jamesthistleton]

Thank you!!

[@Eric-ly9uk]

Once again, stellar music. Probably some of my favourite music for Rhulk that isn't official music. Honestly when I listened to Lubrae's Ruin for the first time, I thought I missed a track on the official soundtrack. And here you are again, delivering music on par with the official soundtrack. Well done, seriously.

[@jamesthistleton]

Thank you for the kind words. 🙂

[@slick__1]

I think I am in love with this

[@frostyomnic9995]

Please for the love of everything get in contact with bungie, your stuff is WAY too good to be this unnoticed

[@greatcesari]

This really fits destiny 2 and how I imagine Rhulk's home world. Great job

[@jamesthistleton]

Awesome, thanks!

[@borgantimefound5156]

2:03 is so good, this needs more recognition

[@killerkitsune]

Every once and a while, I come back and listen to these pieces. All of them are excellent, but this one is my favorite. Really captures the brutal nature of the regime, and I love it

[@jamesthistleton]

Thank you!! Happy you enjoy them.

[@Noto.]

My clan and I just beat this raid and I've been looking more into general Vow content and this is nothing short of great. The sound design on here is crazy and the ambience is... Phew. Really enraptured the theme well here, good stuff.

[@jamesthistleton]

Nice one! Now on to the Disciple-slayer title. And thanks!

[@meraxion]

The transition around 1:00 is phenomenal, I love what you did there.

[@jay89452]

I've been listening to your Lubrae's Ruin track on repeat. I'm so happy that you've made more.

[@jamesthistleton]

Thanks, glad to hear you're enjoying the music.

[@teatarou]

This gives heavy Bionicle vibes believe it or not, really captures that unknown, foreign feel of Rhulks species lmao it’s excellent

[@KathyBailon]

Bro keep em coming this is absolutely phenomenal.

[@jamesthistleton]

Thanks so much!

[@chrischanson3089]

As a fellow musician, I have to say, this is absolutley incredible! I can see this fitting perfectly into the game. Great work man, keep it up!

[@chasemccurry7397]

GET THIS MAN MORE SUBS. GET THIS MAN ON THE BUNGIE SOUNDTRACK TEAM. GET THIS MAN THE ATTENTION HE DESERVES

[@gigaatom]

Imagine Rhulk returning from the abyss he fell into, giving a speech and then doing Rhulk things scored to this music. It's excellent

[@amanasibn8026]

Incredible. Simply amazing.

[@hambonepng1152]

That pic of Rhulk goes so damn hard, song is great too

[@firenzarfrenzy4985]

You have certainly put a lot of thought into your design Starts off nice and slow with familiar darkness themes Proceeding the first major section you get those sharp synth noises that you hear when you’re in a pyramid After about 1 minute this cosmic beat picks up enhancing the theme of space and paracausality And then the beat drop is fantastic! When you listen, it all screams darkness! Finally, a cathartic ending, not completely blissful, but an uneasy win against a disciple. A win for the battle yes, but not the war. Your unique take on all the Rhulk, darkness/Shattered Suns is amazing

[@jamesthistleton]

Thank you! Glad you are vibing with the music.

[@owlbabeart]

I keep coming back to this track. I really hope you compose more shattered suns inspired music, this is really excellent!

[@a_thief]

i really love this, it gives me a lot of halo ambient vibes while also sounding like music you'd hear in destiny

[@dr.dinglesack]

please make more of these. absolute masterpieces

[@SpartanK4102]

Stellar work. As someone else mentioned I'd love to hear Byf narrating the lore to this. Fits the theme so well

[@REsoleSurvivor1000]

This track absolutely slaps and it definitely fits into the D2 style. Defs liked and subbed!

[@jamesthistleton]

Thanks mate!

[@jaken4224]

completely insane

[@ArbiterKaidonThelVadam]

Both Eramis and Rhulk have this neck spike trend lol Also Rhulk standing like a Xenomorph from the Alien movies

[@jamesthistleton]

The lore says that Rhulk was tasked with conforming an insectoid race know as the Ahslid, but failed. Perhaps the Eliksni are an offshoot of that "failure". Would explain the traveller's intervention.

[@TheChill001]

man, this is just so...inspirational

[@BaldurL]

This is amazing! So atmospheric and really catches that ominous dark vibe of the lore book!

[@jamesthistleton]

Ah thanks!

[@Focoz77]

Keep doing what you are doing, this an excellent job and your craft is just getting better and better :)

[@jamesthistleton]

Thanks, I really appreciate that!

[@stealthhunter6998]

2:05 this reminded me of D1, I think D1 did some very heavy hitting drums/base more often so maybe that's why along with the synth noises it sounds a lot like a vex theme from D1 kinda. Maybe "The Nexus". Anyway, that was my favorite part, love the stuff ur making.

[@jamesthistleton]

Theory: The sapphiric convertor was vex tech given by the traveller.

[@stealthhunter6998]

@@jamesthistleton Thats the shield from the sun on lubrae that gave their city the traveler rested in infinite power from their harsh deadly sun right? The Vex in general are still unfathomable, unknowable. I do hope they play a huge part soon.

[@WayneRoberts72]

@@stealthhunter6998 I think they will, as they were likely the original pattern that constituted the Final Shape. They're described as the ultimate causal force, we haven't been beaten by them however due to them being unable to calculate paracausal ability. Also, in The Unveiling lore book, when the Gardener got mad that this pattern kept destroying all others, she was described as "vexed." All in all, I think so.

[@MrTavrosNitram]

you keep this up and someone at bungie is gonna take notice

[@josh_flash]

Great work! Not sure how you surfaced on my recommended, but I sure am glad you did :)

[@Moo2Millie]

We've come a kong way from "no sad songs please" 😂 How come I havent heard this one?! The beat drop at 2:03 was gnarlyyyy 👌👌👌

[@jamesthistleton]

The sad songs just got sadder, so I shifted to this and leaned into my game music influences.

This is great, keep up the good work! I'm gotta look into using this for a video or two.
