Kingdom Hearts 2 - The Darkness of the Unknown ~DZ Arrangement~ -DesoloZ Classics-

[@ProjectDestati]

This is absolutely fantastic, DesoloZ! Awesome, awesome arrangement of "Darkness of the Unknown"! We're huge fans of your intro with those sporadic woodwind appearances, the outstanding choir at 1:40, and your incredible percussion patches!

[@TheLPRnetwork]

i can't beilve I'm reading this... ( i can even speel right ) when i heard what project destati was, i was hopeing for this song to be in the mix... and know i'm reading this.... Project Forze del unknown? ( Project Forces of the Unknown ) Edit: no, Project Diz (darkness in zero :DD )

[@DesoloZantas]

Lol thanks I'm hope to make an updated version later on

[@ProjectDestati]

We look forward to it!

[@tiffanygonzalez4312]

this is a dream right

[@brandonbrissett7050]

@@DesoloZantas Hey man! Obsessed with this mix, did you ever release another version? Would love to hear it!

[@kevinkaslana9060]

*[Phase II]* Hey, Riku? Yeah? I wanted to thank Naminé, but... I couldn't bring myself to say it. Not until everything was back to the way it was before. Don't worry. We'll make that happen. Once this is over, you can thank her all you want. Yeah! *[Phase III]* Heroes from the Realm of Light... I will not allow it to end this way -- not yet. If light and darkness are eternal... then surely we nothings must be the same -- eternal! You're right. Light and darkness are eternal. Nothing probably goes on forever, too. But guess what, Xemnas? That doesn't mean YOU'RE eternal! No more eternal than that radiance of yours...

[@SpacePirateKhan5]

Well. I now have to listen to everything you've ever made. BrB.

[@DesoloZantas]

Andrew Farris lol

[@sebb01243]

+Andrew Farris Yeah i know that feeling xD

[@killerspartan666]

Some say hes still catching up to this day

[@DJ_Raywave]

xD Caught up yet?

[@imac1111]

1:40 I was NOT expecting that... automatic like

[@spaceangelmewtwo9074]

That moment when you manage to get the part of the final cutscene of the fight where Sora and Riku charge the keyblade beam together to start at 5:23 so that, four measures later when the second symbol crescendo at 5:36 hits is exactly when Xemnas is pierced by the beam. Then immediately cast your Thunder so that the song decrescendos as Xemnas moans "Cursed... Keyblade..." Perfection. I've done this boss over and over again to make that happen, and MAN does it feel so good. Of course, it feels good any time that part of the song hits just as something important happens in that scene.

[@Kiwii216]

stunning!! this is so cool~ sounds more full and dramatic!!

[@adrianosantos999]

nooo

[@SilentFlyX]

Xemnas. One of the most twisted and memorable characters. It totally captures his intriguing nature so well.

[@slothysam]

Ayy thank you fam squad

[@heyitsjoshmusic]

It's such a small detail but I love that at 1:25 the timpani plays that common Kingdom Hearts battle rhythm. Such a great transition!

[@dxo8809]

I’m actually loving this. The choir to replace the normal melody instrument, the violen in the background with a sound to emulate and improve on how it sounded in the game, mwah. This is a beautiful recreation.

[@DesoloZantas]

Thanks :0 I really gotta refined the samples so I can do it again

[@TheMaleAlicorn]

@@DesoloZantas I have gotta understand something if you don't mind helping... this EXACT version is on Amazon under an album called "Reminiscence of Kingdom Hearts" by someone called "Patrem" Just help me understand this

Kid, I got two words for you: I WANT SHEET MUSIC

[@shook198]

1:31 Jesus... that's amazing.

KH3'S FINAL BOSS MUSIC BETTER BE AS GOOD AS THIS VERSION OF DARKNESS OF THE UNKNOWN

[@MapleLoopCat]

Square Enix is like a Sega which is good with music i like to do compassion with Sega for how good both music of their series are

[@Thefirespirit1]

***** this! Sega seems to know when some games are going to be bad. Even with sonic 06, it was awful, but the music made everything much better, and is oneof my favorite sonic soundtracks!

[@thehumanstunlock7588]

it's gonna be xehanort, which is the fully formed version of xemnas and "ansem" so it'll either be another like this or it'll be his own standalone theme, who knows though

[@Loansome_]

Did it live up to your expectations?

[@KeybladeKnight14]

@@Loansome_ No, the final boss theme was a disappointment

[@sicklyjelly]

I've recently discovered some of your Kirby rearrangements and was deeply enchanted, feeling like I remembered you from somewhere before. Then it hit me: it was this piece! This remix of Darkness of the Unknown is one I always loved, possibly being my favorite, and I still come back and listen to it now with all the excitement of several years ago. It makes me happy to see that you're still making music, and I can't wait to catch up/see what you do in the future 💖

[@ArnaldoVicenty]

Am I the only one that feels like a 10 hour loop of this should be made?

[@DesoloZantas]

A bigger song is being made, Im doing a full orchestral arrangement of all the Extra Boss Songs of Kingdom Hearts. Get ready! :D

[@mcogan1966]

I loved when the vocals cut in. Such wonderful stuff.

To call this better than the original is a severe understatement. This is phenomenal.

[@IidosGamingDen]

This is the remix I've been waiting for...just amazing. The best remix of this song I've ever heard. Absolutely beautiful, and I love the chorus starting at 1:40.

[@silverancient7840]

Not a big fan of KH, but I DO like the production value that goes into the games! This remix is stunning... Props dude XD

I have no idea what Kingdom Hearts is about but this is a banger

[@DesoloZantas]

Go check it out. Their music is really good. Their story is just nothing but a big metaphor.

[@DavidRussell323]

Wow, wow! Great work! Everything sounds extremely well-mixed, and this arrangement is just as driving, if not moreso than the original! I've gotta say that I completely love your drums--they sound just like the ones that Yoko Shimomura uses! Do you mind my asking where you found such incredible samples for your percussion loops?

nope

Nope. We got Forze dell'Oscurita... x)

Amazing. Almost as good as the original. However, nothing can top the original. This is pretty damn close to as good as the original.

the song that might play if you play on proud mode and enter with starter key blade

2 seconds into this and i downloaded it.. It's that good...

[@jankounchained4211]

Please don’t ever delete this channel! ❤ 10 years ago I was going through a rough time, I found this channel and specifically this song. This song always reminded me of the descent and madness I was going through, yet, there was something poetically beautiful about all of it. Safe to say 10 years later, I found the light. Never give up

[@DesoloZantas]

Lol that's silly, I won't. I'll just keep reincarnating it into something different.

[@zeromoga]

Wonderfully done. Quite powerful.

[@sefirosu666]

What program did you use to create the chorus? Also, impressively done! I absolutely loved this rendition of Darkness of the Unknown! ^^

[@kingdomNeos]

This an amazing arrangement of The Darkness of the Unkown, makes me wish their was a DZ arrangement for Oscurità di Xehanort as I feel that would sound amazingly intense.

[@Vigriff]

*FEEL MY HEART'S POWER!*

That very moment you realize it's almost time to fight Xemnas one last time, once and for all.

[@Ddeessoolloozz]

.....imma start learning the violin soon.....

[@Crimsonum]

Great job with spicing up the intro! Now the original sounds dull in comparison :P My only critique is on the ending - I feel it comes far too abruptly and unexpectedly. Overall, this is the best remix of this song I've ever heard.

[@BerryOBurden]

Anyone else come here after hearing Project Destati's vwrsion of this? They Definetly got some of their inspiration from this (in my opinion) Which is a great thing!!!

[@ademturan7137]

amazing

[@TheFukaro]

Dude, this is amazing. You should do a Sacred Moon too!

[@vexsten6171]

XD i keep laughing at the fact that he had to add a fuckin audience clapping at the end to feel good about this. its a good arrangement, but fuck dude, that just seems desperate

[@DesoloZantas]

lmao hey it beats commenting *applause* lol jk i just wanted it to feel live, i always want to see a Kingdom Hearts concert but can never get the chance so i brought the orchestra here... to me and share it with everyone. The only desperate thing i am is getting a new hard drive to do this one again lol

[@tylervanpeursem7627]

so this is what it would be like if you could fight xemnas in dark souls 3 ?

[@ChristianBelman]

I know. How can someone dislike this epic song?

[@zyanmurphy7478]

Christian Belman That is beyond me.

[@burnoutcollectivist4660]

Is this the same track from the playlist by Patrem that was taken off Spotify? Cause it sounds (to my memory) the exact same, even with the little applause at the end. Is Patrem you, or someone who stole your music? If so that would explain why it was taken down.

[@belot217]

Download link doesn't work (though conversion sites of course do), but otherwise, one of the best KH fan covers I have ever heard. Quality is easily that of the game's original mixes themselves (better in fact, KHII was a bit synth-y a points).

[@rayman1900]

My question is : did you really performed this arrangement in front of people or did you tried to make it like it was presented in front of public?

[@SagittariusAyy]

Sorry, I prematurely hit Enter.....Anyways, you should do KH-style remixes of "Lair of Kaos" from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and "Bringing Order to Kaos" from Skylanders: Giants

[@zephyromega3077]

T'would appear that Organization XIII disliked.

[@MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

I only have one real complaint about this version. The effects added in respect to the music drown out the main melody at points, which should never happen. If anything, the main melody should be accentuated by the additions. Still a great piece, just needs a tiny bit more work to be perfect. Subbed.

[@Derahex]

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised to see your name in videogame credits... Wait a moment, I don't now your real name. Oops.

the only thing I dont like is the applause at the end, other than that, I absolutely love this remix of DotU
