RWBY - Divide (feat. Rena) 【Intense Symphonic Metal Cover】

[@FlyntofRWBY]

One of the best songs in RWBY! Good choice to cover this one! Loving all your covers!

[@jokerson1316]

You heard it from the RWBY Archeologist himself

[@goldenapplesaga5446]

YO Its flint!! Been listen to your videos for years bro!!

[@Mat5881]

And anyone who begs to differ, may continue begging. I'm joking. I'm joking. However, I totally agree there. Divide is just something else. Simply wow.

[@FalKKonE]

ayy thanks mate!

[@remingtonwright6796]

And I thought the original did a good job of selling that Salem is Hate incarnate! This somehow cranks it up to 11 in all the right ways

[@LaZodiac]

You held "That flame" from 1:13 to 1:25 Jesus christ that's impressive.

[@DWFTW]

This has always been such an intense track, one of my most revisited as a result. Can't wait to hear this version for sure. First time catching one of these premiere things I think.

[@DWFTW]

And it very much did not disappoint. Incredible version of it.

[@rustkarl]

I always loved that verse. “When allied together a threat men display, divide them with doubt it will all wash away. One spark can incite their hope and their hearts of their weary souls, I will extinguish that flame.” A recognition of strength and weakness, and the determination to snuff it out.

[@jaernihiltheus7817]

It's also a paraphrase of her speech in volume 3 right before the song plays.

[@rustkarl]

@@jaernihiltheus7817 I’m aware. I like the dichotomy of cold ruthless speech and emotive song saying the same message.

[@nightgundam]

Ngl salems theme is up there with some of the best villian themes, this was a banger. Definately in one of my metal playlists i actually have a metal rwby one.

[@helvarstark4282]

Salem’s theme is so great that it’s more intimidating and epic than Salem herself is in the series (even if she’s still a pretty serious villain).

[@flamethekid]

its such a good theme because thats exactly how she keeps staying on top in the series. those lyrics have been kicking team RWBY in the ass since S3

it really gives off an unimaginably spiteful, indiscriminate hatred with a hint of regal superiority behind it. Which really fits Salem well lol.

Falkkone just doesn't know how to not release bangers, I saw he was starting up a RWBY kick, and I couldn't be happier. And Rena just keeps nailing the vocals too.

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

What song isn't?

[@VoidShyrok]

Easily one of the best songs they ever did for the villains. And MY GOD, I wish Salem was as Intimidating in the show as she is in the lyrics. Instead we get cinderella.

[@TheGreater-ScopeVillain]

Oh come now, Cinder Fall is the evil Cinderella here. 😂 Cinder’s theme song, “When It Falls”, is one of the best villain songs as well. Fitting for the main villain of the franchise.

I was never really a fan of RWBY but I always loved their music. Divide is by far one of the best they put out ⭐⭐⭐

[@edgarlozada3858]

This is actually my first introduction to this song. It's amazing, as spected of this duo that I loved for so many years. But man, Imma go get a check to the original. Since I dropped RWBY haven't paid attention to its soundtrack, and that was top tier, if I recall.

[@vteccomplex]

Whether the RWBY series is good is a matter of opinion, but the soundtrack always being phenomenal is just a fact of life. =)

[@edgarlozada3858]

@@vteccomplex Yeah. Since RWBY got heavy inspiration from BlazBlue, a franchise iconic by its legendary music (Thank you forever Daisuke Ishiwatari), shouln't be surprising to me that RWBY's music slaps!

[@helvarstark4282]

The original is one of my favorite tracks in RWBY’s soundtracks, alongside Hero, I’m the One, The Triumph, Be Strong and Hit Stuff, Nevermore, and some of the other stuff from volume 5.

[@goldenapplesaga5446]

The show is great. Lots or people just seem to ignore half the episode and then make crappy KZbin videos about it. But those are the loud ones, not the Majority. We love the show and you should absolutely watch it

[@TheSweetSpirit]

My opinion on the show is that is has extreme flaws but if you can enjoy it past the flaws then it's a good show. I look at it like a guilty pleasure. At the very least the season 8 started improving upon the meh season 6 and REALLY BAD season 7. and that it has good music and always has, pre or post monty oum

[@NightZap]

One of my favourite songs in all of RWBY, and probably one that hits the hardest. You spend the entire finale of volume with baited breath, watching in despair as Pyrrha dies, Ruby is just a moment too late to help and unleashes a new power as all the traumatic experiences of that day reach their breaking point, only to learn that even with that new power she could hardly change anything about this major defeat, and the team is broken apart. As Ruby sets off to a journey to fight against a threat that is so much greater than anything she could have imagined, and the narrator from the first episode returns, revealing herself to be not only against humanity, but an actual physical entity within the world instead of just a voice existing beyond the narrative. As you lay eyes on the woman who looks like a combination of human and grimm and your head is filled with question, it may seem you are finally at the end, finally able to catch your breath after witnessing all of this... only for this song to start immediately, hitting you with the full force of drums and electric guitars as Salem starts blaming Ozpin for the deaths in a war that she started and makes her manifesto to crush humanity under her foot. Welcome to RWBY. The real show has fucking begun.

[@damir_van_kalaz]

It felt like the real show had actually begun, but then we got Volume 4 and everything else that followed after it instead.

[@helvarstark4282]

Volume 5 was great, 6 was ok I liked it but it was meh, 7 was interesting but a bit meh, and 8 was meh except for some spectacular moments. The plot has improved but the show still has a lot of room to grow

[@damir_van_kalaz]

@@helvarstark4282 Wait, V5 was great? I mean, you're entitled to your opinion of course, but I have to say you clearly saw something in it that I didn't, because I strongly disagree. V5 was by far the weakest volume imo. They spent way too much time in the house just kind of doing nothing, and the final battle fell completely flat. Don't even get me started on the way Adam was made into a total joke and got taken out by a bop to the head of all things. That and the whole braindead "assassination attempt" on Blake's family that somehow included Ilia's redemption arc where *somehow* the power of friendship just magically gets her out of having to face any consequences for anything she did. It had a ton of tonal issues where they seemed to go back and forth, unable to decide if this is a mature show for adults or a lighthearted "power of friendship solves everything" show for kids. V5 had a couple of decent scenes here and there, but overall it was just not that good. That's just my opinion though. I'm glad you enjoyed it at least. 6 was pretty solid in the first half. A few bumps, but it was the best we'd gotten from the show since V3 ended. Problem is that the second half of V6 exists and my god did they drop the ball hard. In fact, while I do still consider V5 the weakest volume overall, V6 stands out more than it does simply due to the fact that you watch it just drop from being fairly good to being horribly written in the span of one episode, whereas at least V5 committed to its mediocrity almost right from the start. I agree with you on 7 and 8 though. Very meh volumes. 8 had some moments that were good but also a lot of dumb stuff here and there like the way they went about having Emerald switch sides, but 7 just kind of had nothing going for it really. Don't get me wrong, contrary to what I'm saying here, I actually don't hate the show. In all honesty, I really do want to love it. I've watched the show since the Red trailer first showed up on youtube, and I've watched every episode on release since. I genuinely believe the show and its characters have incredible amounts of potential, I just wish the writers would actually make use of it instead of squandering it. They've just put way too much of a focus on trying to pander to the shippers instead of just focusing on making a good story for the entire fanbase.

[@helvarstark4282]

I liked 5, but maybe I’m thinking mostly enjoyment (especially after volume 4). The writing was ok, honestly I didn't mind it as much as people seem to. That being said, it was far from perfect, I definitely agree. 6’s beginning and end were great. The middle part felt like a lull. The lore dump in the third episode was the best fucking episode, in my opinion. 7 and 8 had cool stuff but were overall meh. I loved the fights (particularly Ironwood and Watts, RWBY vs. the Ace Ops, and Winter vs. Cinder but to be fair I love the maiden and magic fights), and seeing the Atlas military in action was awesome (despite the fact that they were shown using Napoleonic War era tactics mixed with trench warfare, like BRUH). I did like Emerald turning, that felt really nice and I’m all for it. The way it was written to me felt like natural character growth, but I wish we could’ve seen more bonding/trust building between her and the main characters. Otherwise I’m in agreement! The music is still glorious despite the writing shortfalls. I love the show too, even if I think the writing can be much improved. For instance, some of the fan fiction is written better than the show itself (see: "I, Jaune" or Coeur Al'Aran's works, both of which have better writing and lore exposition than the base material itself, oof), but I still love it. I definitely agree that the writers pander WAY too much to the shippers, it's fucking annoying not because I have anything against romance between characters Burt because you cannot microwave a character dynamic to lead to that in 2 episodes, lol. Relatedly, I actually feel like the world building is something they need to make more use of. I would LOVE to get to see more lore and world building done with some of the more practical elements, such as societal development, how the kingdoms were before the Great War and what changed, some of the more individual kingdom histories beyond the vanilla and boring ones we got in World of Remnant. "I, Jaune" fixes this wonderfully with how it solves the problem, RT's writers should probably take notes from that. I also want to see more Ozma/Ozpin, and more magic fights. Why not do a small spin off of Ozma's various lives like Fairy Tales did but with more focus on the man himself? I guess the problem here and common thread is that the writers do not make as much use as they should of cool characters like Ozma or the actually cool world they've built by ignoring world building and lore (until it comes to a lore dump).

[@trav157]

I found an old rebuttal song on r/RWBY by u/Captain_Infinity. Does it feel good, thinking you've won Thinking I'm all that remains That your black, hand, eclipsed the sun That all of my hopes were in vain How does it feel Lying to your own damn face Thinking that this was the end of it That you've snuffed out the whole human race Bring your demons watch them fail Have you not learned a damn thing all these years? We always prevail Standing together We'll face down your blade Try to divide us Our hope will not fade One spark can incite their hope And Ignite the fires Of their weary soul You can't extinguish our flame Come my Black King, bring your Queen Let her stand, let her be seen Come my guardians, one and all Know that now we will. Not. Fall. It was you who did this Brought on the end of the world For your mad, sick, and selfish needs For the fears of a sad little girl You've gone in-sane You now live on instinct alone See 'cause I've changed but you're still the same You've got a black heart and skin white as snow Bring your gods and watch them bleed Heroes are rising Your end's drawing near Now repent your misdeeds Legends and Fairy Tales Scattered in time It seems you've forgotten In the end evil dies The dark won't bring us to our knees Our Kingdoms stand, and we will be free Small souls will bring victory Unite them! Swords in the sky Courage is forever, hope never dies Unite them! Turn up the light Believe in each other, hope for one another Courage will rise and you'll face your demise I'll watch as you cry as you face your own lies Once I was lost but now I'll do what's right Because WE. WILL. FIGHT.

[@featherguardian6023]

This is one of my Favorite RWBY Songs that in many ways it's a Villain Song,it can be both Dark to the Tone and Lyrics and in a Way it Tackles a Realism that even though Good Can Win or Survive,in the in so Way,Shape,and Form we will Fall,it also represent and Foreshadows the Endless Battle and War both The Brother Gods and Ozma and Salem and how created and how pointless it can,A Dark and Harsh Truth that nothing is a Game or a Fantasy with False Hope,Dreams,and Motivations.

[@rejoicingfakepriest201]

"You all can bark as loud as you wish, try as hard as you like, but I will not yield. You have not an idea what truly awaits you all. You are probably thinking no matter what I say, no matter what creature I send, no matter what I do, my defeat is inevitable. Go ahead and think that. That singular thought is a spark. A spark that incites hope and ignites the hearts of your weary souls. I will extinguish that flame."

Does it feel good knowing you tried? Knowing that all that remains Is the slow, cold, brutal death Of the fools that will all die in vain? How does it feel Knowing your efforts will fail? All that you've built will be torn down The hope of your people assailed Send your guardians, they will fail Legends and heroes will crumble and fall You will not prevail Pre-Chorus 1: When allied together, a threat men display Divide them with doubt, it will all wash away One spark can incite their hope And ignite the hearts of their weary souls I will extinguish that flame Bridge: Form your armies, dream your dreams Make your plans and plot your schemes Send your fighters one and all Then in battle, watch them fall Verse 2: It was you who ended their lives Made them to dig their own graves With your dark, sick, cruel design Convinced them their world could be saved Have you no shame Signing them up for your war? Train them to fight what they can't beat Your sins are what they'll pay for Sacrifice them for your needs Slaughter is coming, the end drawing near You'll regret your deeds Pre-Chorus 2: Legends and fairy tales scattered in time Maidens and kingdoms wrapped up in a lie These children you mislead You'll watch them all bleed Strength will not bring victory Chorus: Divide them Tear them apart Sever their trust, it will strangle their hearts Inside them Plant seeds of doubt Hope will be smothered They'll turn on each other Outro: Hatred will sprout Suspicion and doubt Friendships deny while allegiances die The taste will be sweet when you get what you've earned And I'll watch you burn
