What is Infernum mod?
Infernum mod is an extension mod for Calamity that adds an extra difficulty - "Infernum", that's harder than Death mode, with a primary focus on expansive reworking of boss AIs.
I'm sure y'all have many questions regarding this track, and I bet the main one is "Why did you make this? CDMusic aka Charlie is already making the official theme!". For that, allow me to tell you the story behind this track, and why it means so much to me.
It all began back in march, on a day where I was feeling particularly motivated. At the time, I was really obsessed with draedon's motif, and I really wanted to do something with it. So, after asking the calamity dev team to make sure that it's okay, I began working on my own version of the exo mechs theme, intending for it to be an alternate exo mechs theme in infernum mod.
No other calamity bosses will get this treatment in the future, so don't ask for them.
At the time, I decided to keep this project a secret from the infernum team, intending to surprise them by posting the completed work once it's done. Was it silly, and perhaps immature? Yeah, it was. But I just couldn't help myself, ya know?
I then poured my heart and soul into it for the next few days, really sure that this one will truly be my magnum opus aka best work of the year. For a while, it was my pride and joy. Unfortunately, after I managed to reach the 2 minutes mark with the track... awful stuff happened.
I won't go into details, but basically, my self-confidence took a massive dive. Same with my mental stability, to a lesser extent. It was so bad that I essentially lost all my passion for the track, as my insecurities started to set in. Suddenly, the prospect of people comparing my piece and Charlie's official one, and potentially mocking mine for being "worse" became really dreadful. Paranoid thoughts of people accusing me of trying to "one up Charlie" or "steal his spotlight" didn't help matters.
So, with a heavy heart, I abandoned the project and left it to collect dust. The next few miserable months flew by, and I had started to resign myself to the fact that I'll have to move on from it eventually. But a while ago, as I was sifting through at my unfinished projects, I stumbled upon it again. Thinking "why not?", I decided to post the WIP track for the infernum team to check out, not expecting much.
To my surprise, they really like it. They then encouraged me to finish it, as they'd love for the track to be officially implemented into infernum mod. So with some hesitation, I decided to give the track a try one last time. It was then that, as I was tweaking a few things about it and listening to it on repeat, I realized that my passion for the track was back and stronger than ever. Suddenly, all those insecurities and fears I had about the track during my rough patch didn't seem so bad anymore.
Mind made up, the day after that I was hell bent on completing the track, and went straight to doing so after lunch. I even got a bit emotional at some points, especially as I re-listened to the climax of the track over and over again to make sure that it's as great as I wanted it to be.
An over 5 hours marathon of a composing session later, and there's breaks don't worry, it was ready to go!
... Yes, I know that when the official exo mechs theme comes out, most people will likely flock to that and leave this piece of mine behind. I'd be lying if I said that the thought doesn't make me a bit sad. But that's alright, because when the time comes, I'll learn to accept it eventually. Sides, Charlie deserves all those views for his hardwork!
That and... my best friend Dominic, the owner of infernum mod loves the track to bits, and I'm sure there'll be at least be some others who do too. And that was all the encouragement I needed to post this.
Treat this track as just something to listen to while waiting for the official theme if you want, heh.
There'll be a toggle to swap between the themes once the official theme is out too, so don't cha worry.
Anywho, thank you SO much for all the support y'all have been giving me! It means a ton to me :D
Now, have a good day everyone! See y'all next time! ^w^

I for one absolutely love the fact that it recalls the mechs one and ARMSTRONG too. I sincerely wanna say, cuz I'd be lying to you all if I said otherwise, that Yharim's eventual theme follows what this one does, with as you said, It Has To Be This Way. But this matches a lot the chaotic energy the exos exuded when I first saw em. Bravo to you, I'll even use my own Italian and say Bravissimo. I likey how the vid is edited :D

[@MrJFL]

Ever since I heard from nycro that you decided to remix your theme for exos i've been itching to hear it. All I need to say is that this is a banger. Easily outdone yourself with this. Passion and motivation create masterpieces, and having that little help to spark it shows, because god damn it went a long way.

[@lancezealot]

I love how personalized each mechs’ part sounds. In Thanatos’s segments you can hear synths going up and down like a sine wave, like the movement of a serpent. Then that electric guitar goes off during the Twin segments, which perfectly describes their fight: *hectic, heart pumping, and relentless*. Not only that, it also sounds like there are two synths playing together, working as one analagous to the Twins. And during Ares part a “siren” can be heard. It screams “danger is coming,” especially when Ares and his four exo super weapons give you the death stare.

[@lancezealot]

So it turned it I was right! :0

[@Unused_Account_D3E2F1]

Thanatos's part is definitely my favorite. I wish there was a whole song just like it.

[@shinyhero306]

I liked twins the most as Hectic Crazy bullet hells with bosses dashing left and right are fun for me (I like bullet hell deal with it)

[@nebulous9280]

Keep in mind that this also kinda mirrors Boss 1 2 and 3 from the OG Terraria OST. Thanatos (Destroyer) with the synths that seem to curve up and down, much like in certain parts of Boss 3, Ares (Prime) with the loud siren that mimics the siren in Boss 1, and Apollo and Artemis (The Twins) with the chaotic and hectic melody of Boss 2. This music is like 3 layers of motifs deep and I'm digging it.

You weren't told to make this song, CDMusic had it covered. And yet, you did, just cause you loved Draedon's leitmotif (and presumably music) so much. It's incredible how Catastrophic Fabrications, a song made for the passion of music, the joy of creation, is the song about Draedon. A being who's only purpose is to create. Who lives to satiate that urge to make. Not to mention, the creation of the Exo-Mechs were (probably?) not ordered by Yharim, they were only made to fulfil Draedon's goal in life. It's beautiful in a way. To me this song is first and foremost about creation. To make something beyond ourselves with the human gift of consciousness. Not only from the song being about Draedon, but also the aforementioned context regarding the song. I've felt this need to create something myself, specifically in music. This song, even if musically somewhat irrelevant, thematically fits that. It brings out that inner artist in me, I guess. ...Excuse my introspection, I must gather my thoughts after listening to this piece for probably the hundredth time. I know you probably won't see this Pinpin, but if you do: Incredible work. I can only hope to reach the heights you have as a musician.

At first when it started I was worried that it might remove the undertones of struggle and finality that Inferior Fabrications had, and then it sweeps in with the remastered chorus and takes those fears away. This song is incredible and enjoyable the whole ride through, and while Inferior will always have that particular vibe of glory in the face of your final obstacles, the intimidating and heavy tune that this one has suits the Exo Mechs well.

I dunno why you deleted your reply though, since it was so genuine and endearing to people like me. The notification still came through, so your kindness didn't go unnoticed. Come on, don't be shy, reply with "🤓," it'll be such a kind gesture and compliment. I don't understand how "🤓" could ever be an insult, given the Top Definitions on Urban Dictionary for _nerd,_ _geek,_ and _dork._ Or maybe, perhaps you've lost touch with common sense at some point. Could it be, that you don't realize the gravity, of what nerds have so graciously given to the world, throughout its storied history? Is it true, that you never realized, that Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Linus Torvalds, Gabe Newell, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Leonardo Da Vinci, Archimedes, Carl Sagan, Isaac Newton, George Lucas, Dave Filoni, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Kevin Feige, all shared at least one thing in common: *being nerds?* How blasphemous, inconsiderate, uninformed, uneducated, and uncultured of you. You have the nerds, geeks, and dorks, to thank for *everything* that you so claim to enjoy throughout your every day. You should be more thankful for us.

@@c1nquedea47 I'm calling 🧢 on this. As of writing this, every reply before this one adds up to three. Thing is, on the "View Replies" button, it says four. I've come to realize that KZbin still counts the replies, even if they've been deleted. KZbin may be often riddled with bugs, but given Google's reputation: a notification, when delivered by the real-deal Google/KZbin, *is always an actual notification.* But after sleeping on this, I finally came to realize "Why do I even care about this?" when I didn't have a good answer, I just decided to stop after this reply. I'm gonna leave this reply chain, mainly because I seriously just don't want this to devolve into two-or-more strangers bickering with each other on the internet.

So please, have a good day, regardless of your "🤓" usage.

this is easily my favorite calamity song, each part seems to have its own personality and the franticness of it all gives you an urge to win throughout the fight!

[@atalya4002]

This song tells the tale of a struggle that seems hopeless before it picks up. As if weaknesses had finally been spotted. (Mainly thanks to those classic bells) Turning into one final stand against these machines of war, your spirit and strength drained by the losses... Before it is restored as you make progress bit by bit. A struggle that finally turns into something that seems winnable. And with that knowledge, that hope... You emerge victorious as the power of M E T A L is by your side. I love how the end is a somber end, showing that the battle is finally over. You can rest, you've won. The machines have been scrapped by your hand. (Beauty job pin

i was so disappointed when i found out this was a fanmade track and not the official Exo Mech theme, I was looking forward to using a music box on it. This is my favorite calamity mod song, fanmade or not and it totally deserves to be in the game.

[@teiull9388]

fanmade? not really it is official, but not for calamity itself but for a official add on, basically, dominic karma(calamity developer) got permission from fabsol to make a add on to include different boss AI's, aka complete boss redesigns, this add on is called "infernum" and has been getting a lot of work from a lot of talented terraria developers, pinkie being in charge of the music ^^

[@melbryan1752]

Hi PinpinNeon before you left the community, i wanna say something as a fan of your masterpiece.. Thank you... For being the most amazing composer of the terraria infernum community ever, it was a great rollercoaster when i listen your whole themes for the community. Last year when i discover your video (Catastrophic Fabrication) in my recommendations i was quite interested to listen, then after 4 days im really enjoying this theme, one of my favourite part is the definitely the climax, in my opinion the Exo Mechs like to about unlish their battle cry and there true power and draedon is very intrigue to this player because he notice that he is the only one "subject" can handle the long battle of the Exo Mechs. I notice that fans are making exo mechs fanmade too, and i was quite shock it was awesome to listen and it was inspired by you PinpinNeon, you've done amazing hardwork for everyone that Catastrophic before the Calamity Motif was such a banger that fans gives attention to it. Present later i heard the rumors that your going to leave the community due to the fans being hatred, i feel bad for your concerns and i got flashback from this situation. I hope your doing great Pin even your moving to the other side of the community i'll still support your amazing work and i hope you won't forget that your hardworks is such inspiration to the fans.

I essentially forgot about Calamity since i lost the interest So I stumbled over Infernum and hearing about the Exo Mechs, I still wan not interested However after listening to some Calamity Tracks in Roblox games, and having stumbled across a recommendation of Calamity in KZbin I thought "Eh, why not just hear their music in the mod? Might be a fun experience at least" I left Dokuro's Calamity tracks since his new music just hits hard on the feels, but it feels nostalgic now having to play the mod and hearing his music. Then i came across music from other artists, Heart Plus Up, Ennway, CDMusic, yours, and others, man. It's a huge trip. (AND PAIN) I enjoyed hearing most of the themes, EVEN THOUGH I'VE BEEN HEARING NONSTOP DUE TO A LOT OF DEATHS. As soon as I saw this, I left it for later until I reached the Exo Mechs Music?
