Shovel Knight OST - In the Halls of the Usuper (Pridemoor Keep)

[@Motolmang]

I remember when king knight topped the 3 top knights to become playable on their polls and a lot of people complained "King knight literally does nothing but strut like an idiot" spoken like a true peasant

[@boethiah12]

That's exactly what he does but that's why he would be so awesome to play.

[@r2micro373]

boethiah12 there gonna make it so basically his minions do all the work for him lol

[@HitsujiMamoru]

THERangers42 And that's EXACTLY what his game should be about, seriously xD with Bard narrating the events in favor of King Knight after each level lol

[@SomeAsian]

EREDAR LORD OF THE BURNING LEGION I STILL WANT PROPELLER KNIGHT PLAYABLE!!!!!

[@darthzeltroth7758]

one of his attacks needs to be the trumpet confetti

[@Tenfey]

Always ask the Bard to play this.

[@cheesychipmunk8382]

But Fighting with all of our might...

[@joranvandermeer7650]

It's amazing how Jake Kaufman made this 8-bit track sound 'royal'. It gives me the feeling of royalty, menace, heroism. How is this possible with an 8-bit music track? It's truly unbelievable this great composer managed to do that.

[@michaelkemel9711]

Does anyone else think a Shovel Knight comic book is a feasible and good idea?

[@sadlobster1]

Michael Kemel And a Shovel Knight TV series, feature film and list of fanfiction stories

[@Kilaknux]

Personally, I want a Samurai Jack style animated series, the kind of thing where we'd see Shovel Knight struggle to get a turkey the whole episode because be was hungry, only for him to give it away at the end to hear a starving bard play

[@sadlobster1]

Kilaknux Better idea...Shovel Knight TV series WITH...Samurai Jack-style animation and fights

[@MrCrossa]

sadlobster1 And have it the TV series cheesy as all fuck in 80s animation style and voice acting (i.e. Legend of Zelda, Captain N etc.)

[@sadlobster1]

MrCrossa Nope, I'd prefer the Samurai Jack/Sym-Bionic Titan style animation. With a mixture of seriousness and comedy added to it. After all; such a formula has worked for Adventure Time, Regular Show AND Steven Universe (story-wise)

[@chandlersparkman3162]

This one thing that I really like about video game ost. Just by closing your eyes and listening to that music you can just imagine storming a castle.

[@MichaelHill-sg8ks]

"Prepare to taste justice. SHOVEL JUSTICE!"

[@darthzeltroth7758]

*SILENCE*

[@Mechazaurus]

My personal favorite track.

[@satoshiash100]

Yee

[@Makedounia1]

My favorite as well!

[@MistikaManiac]

alexander guzman Wah

[@sadlobster1]

Mechazaurus I recommend the Notessimo remix of this track. It's really good and has a serious medieval feel to it

[@Ilias2]

This game's sound track has the amazing ability to make whatever's playing my favorite.

[@OmnimonX12345]

Love this song. Also, Pridemoor Keep is in my opinion the best stage for grinding.

[@ZorotheGallade]

"I am royalty, tyranny, can't you see Pledge your loyalty, and now bend the knee, to nobility"

[@blara2401]

Jake apparently liked this theme. Not only did it serve as King Knight's theme as usual (seeing as how every stage and boss themes are mutual remixes) but it also was the apparent basis for Fighting with all of Our Might, which plays during Reize's, Baz's and the hat merchant's fights.

[@Sir_Bone-Head]

I think out of all the games themes, this is one of my favorites.

[@wejs1991]

This is one of the best songs in the entire soundtrack IMO

[@MegaPhilX]

Best song of the entire game if you ask me. :)

[@GVsleeepi]

+MegaPhilX actually i would prefer of devious machinations or High above land

[@MegaPhilX]

+Rockman XAsian Those are my other 2 favorites. :)

[@GVsleeepi]

I like all of the songs but those two stand out to me most I dont know if its just me I think that tinker knights theme could fit in a megaman game

[@ChaosJourney]

+MegaPhilX Wait... werent you the guy who made Megaman Unlimited? Oh and I think Plague Knight has the best stage theme. The Defender (black knight 3) is my favorite track

[@TheMartianGeek]

+MegaPhilX It's probably in my top 3, but I think Of Devious Machinations and Fighting with All of Our Might have it beaten.

[@MrSdiezal]

Best track on OST in my opinion.

[@IvanRodriguez-lo8on]

I love the rhythm of this song.

[@eagle56786]

That 2/4 bar in the A section gives me LIFE

[@the.hex_x]

0:53 man, that part is so eargasmic

[@superwowman100]

Geez, Shovel Knight, you got some of the best soundtracks in videogames this year so far!

[@elite__underscore4685]

I KNOW IT'S SO OP!!!!!!!

[@zonx87]

I listened to this over 50 times, I REGRET NOTHING!!!

[@Zidane_Mina]

i just love this game...

[@gotdangit1029]

King Knight best knight (behind shovel ofc)

[@comac4719]

dude a Dr. Livesey with king knight would be awesome. if i knew how to animate i'd totally do it.

[@MarcoAntonioColioGallardo]

*R E I N O E N D E C A D E N C I A !*

[@TheHelmaroc]

This is my favorite song from Shovel Knight.

[@smashbrospippop1931]

This is the best song ever

[@SergeantSmilo]

Best song in the game!

[@sindrevangenrobberstad2889]

I love this song! So adventurous!

[@HATVAULT]

Royal Indeed!

[@santolosa]

0:14 - 0:39 Best part IMO :)

[@alejambicho4982]

Onionjam and 1:06 its medieval Epic :)

[@bronysimpson3250]

how can people dislike this???? this music is awesome.

[@FragLaser]

Different opinions? What are those?

[@JackiW]

@@FragLaser Wait, *different* opinions? I thought only my opinions were valid. And I say it's a banger. Write it down to history books!

[@masterofdoom5000]

Feels very...Camelot in 8-bit.

[@HitsujiMamoru]

masterofdoom5000 And I really hope there was a "Hyper Camelot"-like remix of this but unfortunately there isn't >.< This song would be so cool with real instruments!

[@alejambicho4982]

masterofdoom5000 Hahahaha its true:)

[@edmanbosch7443]

Well, there's technically the music for the second trailer.

[@DullBones]

The regal fanfare of Pridemoor, twisted by King Knight's decadence! Bard: My first publicly performed lair theme. You might say it kickstarted my career!

[@Gr8saiyaman88]

Best song in the game imo. I couldn't get it out of my head for days, if not weeks :D

[@louisemular4080]

This theme needs a Shovel knights' team to ride upon the realm as it so inspires a Western cavalry show off !

[@natgoesfast]

Halls of the *U S U P E R* Nice title

[@redstonenick302]

You were nothing but a userper A false idol My eyes have been opened allow me to make you see Slayer

[@SketchBookShortFilms]

*Jumps onscreen* FOR SHOVELRY!

[@ParrotMan01276]

I call this the Decadent Dandy.

[@diogomontesso6970]

Nope, decadent dandy is the name of his battle theme.

[@CiromBreeze]

No, that would be the boss fight theme. ;D

[@diogomontesso6970]

That's what I meant by battle theme :0.

[@FabledEmperor]

Ohh I get the title pun, because theres a song called in the halls of the mountain king but because king knight is a usurper yeaa you get it.

[@esmooth919]

I am getting major Bionic Commando vibes from this song. Area 9, specifically

[@bugsy0422]

king knight is always treated like a wuss but people forget he took down 2 dragons and a goddess with his bare hands

[@JackiW]

Not to mention everyone he took down with his deck of cards.

[@alejambicho4982]

Reminds me a Knight Man OST from Mega Man VI, is an awesome track :)

[@SoraXKokiri]

This reminds me so much of Sparkster!!

[@jclocks2157]

Really feeling the Mega Man influences here. :)

[@ultimatemetalsonic9027]

best theme ever

[@unquestionableexistance8704]

No hitting peoples with shovels In the Halls of the Usurper

[@alejambicho4982]

Wow, sounds medieval Epic :)

[@ilikecurry2345]

SoundSmith met an edgy banana one day.

[@esmooth919]

....and now i'm getting Knight Man (RockMan 6) vibes

[@OfficialXAF]

you spelled "usurper" wrong in the video title, just fyi

[@nicholaskirk462]

Doopliss stole the first r.

[@henryconner4890]

Jjjj Ha! I get it. That game is awesome.

[@natgoesfast]

Awesome PMTTYD reference

[@thedarklord9544]

honestly, if this came out before MegaMan 6, this could've been Knight Man's theme

[@that1lizardjamie]

The Darklord Well, this WAS a planned game.

[@GamerGateDeutsch]

I really dig that song. It rocks. Tho i dont want to slate the other compositions.

[@kratosorokai1546]

+8Bit Gamer its earthshaking

[@thederpysage]

I can only imagine King Knights walk cycle

[@DullBones]

King of Cards Stages Enchanted Conclave Turncoat's Tower

[@MagioGaming22]

I asked my mom to geuss what game this is from, She geussed pizza tower or battle cats.

[@TheTrueBro]

King Knight vs Knight Man

[@Cinko420]

kokubunji Knight Man would've called King Knight a decadent dandy.

[@rodger2275]

This be Jam of Shovel Kight.

[@LampreySocks]

What did we do to deserve Kaufman

[@EightThreeEight]

We are unworthy.

[@TheGielnik]

this is the best song in the game, no contest

[@willhege8329]

No, The Flying Machine is

[@zeldacrafter1535]

+Will Hege No, The Schemer is.

[@hansgretl1787]

No, strike the earth is.

[@willhege8329]

ZeNewDragon Flying Machine, Strike the Earth, and Armor Village are the best

[@nathanielfiler4378]

This is my second favorite. My favorite is "An Underlying Problem (The Lost City)".

[@saxeladude]

this song reminds me of tornado man

[@ilikecurry2345]

I tend to think more of Napalm Man.

[@ilikecurry2345]

I tend to think more of Napalm Man.

[@shiram2185]

right click loop done

[@gimli3370]

As much, as I "dig" this song, those stinking magical books are so annoying.

[@original_shmirko_account]

i the lair of king knight it was easy butt it is again in one of the final levels.

[@budaluv4698]

Mirko Metsue Tombeur dude it's the second level.

[@memesrdreams4854]

Lich yard is EVIL for what it is.

[@xiantrit5887]

I want someone to hack Skyrim and make a Shovel Knight version. It would be badass

[@DogsRNice]

>hack Skyrim That's called modding

[@kespec]

i love the japanese feel into it

[@accordimedes6967]

I hate the books. I hate the books so damn much. Pridemoor keep would've been an exellent level for money grinding if it just. Weren't. For those. God. Damn. BOOKS!!

[@MadX8]

This song is so ... OP !!! ( Like the game anyway )

[@Destroyahfan236]

king knight is best knight

[@bannanajay2442]

SoundSmith?

[@Droidi06]

[@EightThreeEight]

Badum tish.

[@Droidi06]

[@EightThreeEight]

***** I hate puns. But I like bitta pread, puttered scones and parmcakes.

[@austinauchter5204]

[@nicholaskirk462]

Copy this webpage's URL and go to a website called www.infinitelooper.com/ and paste the URL into the search bar and hit search. Congratulations you can now listen to this song for the rest of your life.

[@austinauchter5204]

thank u so much because I love this song

[@nuruddinpeters9491]

Jjjj lmao!!!.... the rest of your life. Sounds like a a curse has been cast.

[@HakumeiOkami]

Nuruddin Peters What a horrible night to have a curse.

[@jacenn133]

Jjjj make my day bro..thxs

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

This sounds very much inspired by the original Wild Arms.

[@SleepyReapy32]

Is Usuper, A typo? I thought it was Usurper

[@EightThreeEight]

It is a typo.

[@toxicitzi357]

ok, I really dig the song and all, but I can't help this feeling that the first 12 seconds of the song intro were kind of holding it back? when it gets past that part which sounds more like a generic 8 bit intro for the sake of Sounding 8 bit, I actually get to hear a thematic music to a keep done with 8 bit sound chips, maybe that's just me, but those first 12 seconds is why I usually skipped this song.. :/

[@nicholaskirk462]

I think you are maybe over-analyzing the song's intro, and the introduction lends itself very well to the composition overall. Granted, that's just my two cents. But if you want to skip the intro part of the song very easily I recommend a website called infinite looper. You can set the playtime automatically so it always skips the intro.

[@toxicitzi357]

Jjjj I know it's over-analyzing it, hence that was the whole point of taking the first 12 seconds and talking about them, you don't have to state the obvious like it's inherently a bad thing.. :p let me just iterate why I think it doesn't mix in well with the rest, 0:00-0:04 / 0:06-0:10 sounds a tad out of place with the regal theme of the music, it almost sounds industrial, which isn't a very good way to open up this song, that's just how I feel about it, while 0:04-0:06 / 0:10-0:12 does actually sound a lot more in theme with this level, that part I do like about the intro, it's just those 4 seconds of loop that sound off key with the rest of the theme.

[@toxicitzi357]

Jjjj also, thanks for the site link, that's actually pretty helpful, but I think I'll try to cut it out in an sound editor next time I get the chance. For one thing, the intro is looping in different parts of this song, secondly, it needs to be stitched together in a sound editor and saved, because the site only jumps the timeline back (from 1:05 where the intro starts again, to 0:15) and because it does that, breaks the sound apart enough to make the transition very wonky.. That I don't think will happen after an editing session.

[@metallsnubben]

+toxic Itzi I think it fits well, but I guess that's because I thought of the percussive sounds to represent actual orchestral snare drums and cymbals instead of electronic shit. I can understand why you fell the way you do though :)

[@KailleraNinja]

o_0 wat? Intro is godlike. You must've commented on the wrong video or something.

[@killiandonovan5691]

King knight is the best knight.Like if you agree.

[@eraykaan]

Dududududu

[@gameoverzi]

you should really put this under games, not people&blogs. just my opinion

[@nicholaskirk462]

I'm not interested in views or hits, and uploaded this so my friend could listen to the OST through you-tube since he uses it as his media player. So while your opinion is noted, I have no interest in proper categorization.

[@gameoverzi]

fair enough. not like I care that much anyway
