Terror In The City (Rain World: Downpour, Threat - Metropolis Remix)

[@PuristTheSpecter]

I just realized I misspelled "Chieftain" wrong in the last section... -_-" Oops. EDIT: Ayo, guess what? This has been put into a Rain World mod! You can now go through the sprawling towers of Metropolis while listening to this remix as the threat music, and it includes all three sections - day, night, and even the chieftain sections for the House of Braids boss arena! Please check it out, the person who helped with this mod (sampletestboy2) did a fantastic job with it. There's two different versions of the mod: A "Procedural" version (faithful to the base game threat music; the layers are randomly picked from a set list as it gets more intense), and a "Consistent" version (layers are mixed down to a smaller handful and put into a predetermined list; less varied, but it'll use all of the threat layers at once at max intensity). You can choose whichever sounds the most appealing to you. ^^ Procedural Version: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3194992844 Consistent Version: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3194991798

[@TrixterTheFemboy]

I absolutely love the idea of the scavs using the ancient voiceover system for their alarm, plus I love the garbled "t-terror in the cccity" on the Chieftain part And this further goes into the feeling I have that Metropolis' threat theme, unlike the rest, is not a threat for you. You're not the one it's meant to warn, the scavs are. It's Artificer's true theme song.

[@TrixterTheFemboy]

Oh forgot to mention, the use of explosion sounds in it is awesome too and further reinforces the idea that this song is meant to warn the scavs imo

[@squeakerrabbit]

"artificer i made you new threat themes do you like it"

[@Da_Rivulet]

I think she does

[@sp4cef0rc37]

Which one are you? 1. This music is for the scavs, warning them of the threat that is Artificer. 2. This music is for Artificer, signaling her there is a stupid pest to exterminate nearby.

[@francesco5440]

Both?

WE GETTING STUCK IN AN ENDLESS CYCLE OF VIOLENCE AND BLOODLUST WITH THIS ONE🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Slugcat_Enthusiast]

It would’ve been cool if there was a voiceover for the Chieftain fight, something like “WARNING. INTRUDER THREATENS OUR CITY. ATTENTION. RULER COMPROMISED. ATTACK ON SIGHT.” Or maybe something along those lines. Nevertheless, these are absolutely incredible!

[@AdaTheWatcher]

This remix is so fire it burned down the metropolis!

[@maximumfungus3089]

I love how the Voices are probably the recorded voices of the ancients

[@ChosterRinir]

this is amazing. The voiceovers are absolutely amazing. I like to think of it as Pebbles blasting the alarms over the PA saying "Flee the city now, death is coming".

[@IdkTbhLol]

thats actually such an amazing idea!

[@Resetium]

Yknow, the voiceover didn't really land for me till I read this. Anyhow, I choose to interpret this specifically as Pebbles making use of a premade alert system (long having gone out of use, thus the artifacting) to terrorize the scavs, and to make sure Artificer has a proper challenge.

[@reformedorthodoxmunmanquara]

Five pebbles jamming out to the terrorist alert.

[@codenpr294]

LOL

[@theman13532]

i really like how unintentionally double-sided the announcements are, they could be easily be thought of as as the scavengers in arti's mind (unruly intruders of the city that are of the same creatures that killed her children so they deserve a reason to fear her), or the other way around for how the scavengers see arti (an explosive red terror killing their numbers rapidly for assumably zero reason and without remorse)

[@ultima5720]

This gives me an idea. What if Metropolis was one big gauntlet to the end? Like, you get shut out of exiting until you reach the end. The music constantly plays. And the main difference is that sheltering doesn't reset the cycle until you kill the Scavenger King. What if Arti was so fueled by violence and vengeance that she literally cannot sleep. Your game would still save when you shelter, but time wouldn't progress to the next cycle. That way you can properly see the nighttime. I think that'd be a pretty neat detail.

[@ultima5720]

WISH PARTIALLY GRANTED!!!!! Found a mod that replaces the normal threat music with this. Now we just need the changes with the cycle, and my ideas shall be fullfilled!

[@indecisiveire1746]

​@@ultima5720 Whoa, what mod? :0

[@ultima5720]

@indecisiveire1746 its called "TITC Metropolis Threat Music". There's actually 2 versions as well. One that's layered depending on what you are fighting, and one that plays continuously.

[@minicrewmate7865]

would be cool if the shelter cutscene litterally showed artificer heavily inhaling and exhaling air in the shelter cutscen between their exit once more. would also be cool if arti smashes open the shelter with an explosion when she "wakes" to leave the shelter early, causing it to become unusable.

[@jerusalembellsaringing5193]

i love how the music isn't meant to be a threat towards artificer like other threat music, but she IS the threat and this music is about her instead

[@skeleton9476]

And here I thought Metropolis themes could not get more epic.. GOD DAMN THEY DID! A nice attention to announcer quotes too! During the day It references an attack of Apex Predator, which is either whatever Artificer is dealing with, or Artificer herself And during the night time It references a tеrrоrist attack, and who can make things explode? Artificer and Scavengers!

[@PuristTheSpecter]

Thank you! Writing and implementing the lyrics for this was fun, so I'm glad other people are appreciating them. ^_^

[@monolithsyndrome]

ohhh this is wonderful! i find the implication of the voiceover / pa system so interesting - what could've been alive in the ancient's time that couldve gotten into the city and not been thwarted by miros birds (or vultures, who i presume wouldve been protecting the citizens during the time of the ancients)? and how is it so dangerous that they need to evacuate the city? i also like how the scavs are the citizens in this case, but arti is the one with the citizen id drone. AND THE NIGHT THEME OHHHH MY GOD. the idea of ancient terrorists is so interesting to me!! they had so many taboos around violence and destruction, so a being a terrorist would probably have been a severe social wrongdoing as well as the violence that comes with. and arti being identified as a terrorist because of her citizen id drone and her murderous intent. god this is so good

[@monolithsyndrome]

and thats not even touching on the music itself, which is incredible as always

[@PuristTheSpecter]

I'm glad you like the PA System concept so much! Given how advanced the Ancients were in their technology, I felt like it'd be something pretty viable in their time - and it'd be like the last voice you'd ever be able to hear of whom previously occupied Metropolis. Although, I don't think I ever thought about the implications you just brought up about it... I really like all those points. ^_^

[@ibrahimzonbia155]

rain world 9/11

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

It could be that any Ancient suffering a violent psychotic episode or just wanting to kill/destroy in general could have been considered a terrorist. Even with their supposed prosperity and peace, there's no way there were no violent or hateful outliers, especially not with how many Ancients were wanting to jump into the Void just to escape the cycle of Karmic Reincarnation.

[@AdaTheWatcher]

​@@PuristTheSpecter The PA adds so much to this remix. I wish there was a mod to allow this version of the song to play in game

[@Da_Rivulet]

That tribal interlude is deadly good

[@goldfishchromee]

This. Is. Awesome! I love how much personality it has, and I've always loved how Metro's threat feeling like you are in some sort of gauntlet, but this remix turns that up to 11! The alert system is such a unique touch as well! Almost reminds me of Moon's rain sirens but they have a voice-over instead of just a blaring noise! Super awesome, and the Chieftain fight should have totally had it's own threat theme!

[@moronribbons5774]

An apex predator - I had been thinking similarly of Artificer for a while now. If nothing else playing her definitely does feel like playing a predator.

[@DalekEmperor-S.W.The217th]

the ancients must have a really good taste in music if they literally make the warning a part of the alarm.

[@dopapopa_x]

While i may not like artificer nor killing scavs in general, this theme slaps harder than a singularity explosion.

[@ajosealbertogirontableros6611]

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

It's very fitting for the Region it plays in, as well. Artificer is basically the Doomguy of Slugcats, and the Scavangers stop at nothing to hunt and kill her, and there are a LOT of them in Metropolis...

[@NeclirGo]

@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 I actually researched some info about the game after the video came out, and when I found out about all this that you mentioned, I was kinda shocked. Now I'm more interested about Rain World and it's lore (Excuse me for my grammar, English is not my native language)

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

@@NeclirGo It's okay. The lore of Rainworld is crazy deep, and it only got deeper when Downpour was released. Artificer is essentially a Slugcat out for revenge against the Scavangers because their chieftain killed her slug pups when one of them took an orb from him without knowing. She's got a lot more mobility than other Slugcats and the ability to create bombs and bomb spears. Her whole campaign is killing and eating Scavangers while trying to get to the Chieftain for a final showdown. However, it's also one of the hardest campaigns in the game as there's a higher amount of scavs in each region and they attack Artificer on sight compared to other campaigns. It's literally kill or be killed.

I didn't actually sample anything from Rain World outside of the Metropolis threat themes and a few in-game sound effects (like the bomb fuse and explosion). Anything that sounds like Outer Expanse's threat theme is probably just either a tweaked Metropolis sample, or an original sample / instrument being used alongside that.

[@PuristTheSpecter]

Whatever vocals I don't have subtitled in the video are meant to be unintelligible, either through glitch distortions, or just because it's meant to act as background foley and nothing else. The former is true for the Metro-Night section (like around 4:54), as it's just the previous night remix lyrics, but distorted and jumbled. The latter is true for the Chieftan section, as most of that is just nonsense chanting I made in one take, lol.
