The Brütal Lore of Pentakill

[@ВгостяхуЭндеркинга]

Ruination, the biggest lore event: no progression for characters, except for Thresh (Akshan and Gwen doesn’t count, cause they didn’t exist before event. And Viego released just to lose his queen and be trapped again) Pentakill, doesn’t have its own event: creating the world with ancient gods of metal, having a great antagonist and revealing what leads to existence of KDA and Seraphine (in lore)

[@tonypeppermint5329]

Huh, interesting.

[@hxn4466]

they got their prioritise straight

[@TheLanach]

I love this. "Praytar", "Stringstress", "Roadwalker"... all this sounds so over the top, kinda like something out of Penny Arcade.

[@gadrielvanorion9872]

necrit: damnit viego why did you have to destroy the temporonomicron! Viego: you could say, i RUINED it for you :D

[@low-resghul8306]

Alright the thought of a “Praytar” is really cool to me. I’m just imagining a regular communion in a church and then the priest says: “And on the third day, our Lord said thusly: *shreds sick guitar solo*” 🎸🎶

[@patrickcarter2829]

Amen is just replaced with another sick guitar solo. That would be a sight to see: just a crowd of people playing a guitar solo in perfect unison.

[@turboplayz5577]

The church songs would be much more lit i can tell you that much

[@tonypeppermint5329]

Yes!

[@sakurascarlet1239]

I honestly think Pentakill is not in same “universe” as the way we thought, Pentakill could appear as a virtual band in K/DA world (which is technically our world, The Earth), just like how Star Guardian is just a manga in Odyssey. Otherwise, Riot basically said we used to worship Metal and nothing else, and DJ Sona’s hair can fly (Seraphine’s poster).

[@Necrit]

Yup, that's most likely how it works. Though since Riot never has to address this connection, we can pretend Viego spawned Seraphine :3

[@x-axis708]

@@Necrit you know what i will do that

[@bigpj7359]

Yes

[@avantblade]

or they are all real in the music universe, and this is just a PR stunt the band likes to do with their funding. A lot of music groups irl have "Lore" even though its not real.

[@BloomBox36]

It's a big stage gimmick, otherwise Pentakill wouldn't have helped Viego make his pieces have more kick to them. I do want to know the IRL version of how the band came up with such an idea.

[@byquaza]

It's official, a skinline has more lore than Gragas.

[@miskopisko8833]

Praytar "And in the 7th day, the Lord spoke and said : 'Yo bro check this shit out' and then proceeded to shred the sickest guitar solo in existence."

[@sachi7899]

Pentakill was late for the Dissonance because they had to console Yorick for what happened in his Role in the Ruination Event.

[@emryscaster7332]

The mental image of like Karthus, Mordekaiser and Olaf buying Yorick a drink to cheer him up is somehow weirdly wholesome

[@antreaskanaris5412]

pentakill has the best lore i have ever seen in lol ever since udyr's silence for the damned

[@Alex-lc5dz]

When a "small lore" is better than the big lore that you put enough effort, to in the end make it ok to bad at best.

[@LucaszSchmitz]

Pentakill obviously had a lot of work put on it, we can tell the people that worked on it were really passionate about the project, issue is when the marketing team is a bunch of idiots.

[@tonypeppermint5329]

@@LucaszSchmitz Yeah.

[@cartoonishidealism582]

Well, the Ruination had a LOT more to live up to. And subsequently… a lot more restrictions.

ive been listening to "aftershock" on repeat since release its so fucking good

[@filipepacheco6148]

viegos songs are so freaking cool! Aftershock is also my favorite

[@noxerator1]

Lost chapter is mega coom.

[@SleepParalysisMoth]

Weird, I love Viego's voice but aftershock was my least favorite of the album. I think Gathering Storm and Redemption were the best

[@cleveranonym74]

I've been doing the same with Gathering Storm lol

[@skyandraetitular1578]

When the power of Viego is so strong he was able to summon abomination which we all know nowadays as Seraphine.

You dare NOT to utter the foul one's name!

Canon Viego: "You think you're better than me?" Pentakill-Viego: "I am better than you."

[@HeartYgo]

So yeah, Viego won. He was right and he changed everything. He actually won, doesn't matter if Penta kill there doesn't matter if the noisome host is still there,Doesnt matter if he Died or not. He did what he said out to do Show them all bring new music and make change.

[@scarletpsychowolf3578]

And he got KTFO and sacrificed in the end so, I guess that means we're all winners

[@MagmaAdminCourtneysHusband]

I noticed that DOOM Eternal ambience you used: Arc Complex, Sentinel Prime, Doom Hunter Base, Hell on Earth, and Nekravol. Very based and fitting taste for this video.

[@elikakyptov]

Omg I love your pfp, adorable boy Kha :D

[@儀水鏡の妖怪霊]

I knew it wasn't my imagination. The songs in the background sounded a bit too familiar.

[@kouks4974]

we need more dissonant songs

[@dawidgarbacz4816]

I honestly think that Rito's writers took inspiration from Brutal Legend, which is VERY underrated and awesome game, actually it's one of my top games ever made and seeing the similiarities makes my hearth warm.

[@GabrielFerreira-ck7bj]

And yet, even with some of the BEST lore, Yorick still doesn´t have his Hat :,) F to pay respects

[@Shane587]

They did Viego dirty. Mans was the real mc.

[@BluntMatcheteAstartes345fghew]

I love the doom music in the background. it fits very well.

[@Delunkleus]

I believe Pentakill’s lore is designed within the KDA universe, rather than it being the precursor to it. Plenty of metal bands create lore surrounding their music. So while Pentakill does exist in KDA, I’m not necessarily on board with its lore being canon to KDA

[@cyrusiithegreat2824]

KDA universe is Earth, our Earth.

[@Delunkleus]

@@cyrusiithegreat2824 correct

[@ArtsyAustin]

Damn. It's interesting that K/DA and Pentakill exists in the same universe.

[@averonisgaming9023]

@Riweuh go bot somewhere else

[@InsaneBasti]

Imagine if this was a event in game. Playing for progress, unlocking the songs, helping viego, maybe even a new game mode like metal based odysee, all ending in huge hype for the live concert on the last day. But i guess that would be too much for the client.. instead we got.. well nothing honestly, not even a 3rd Pentakill icon.

[@arthurmerkulov5904]

Probably because Ruination flopped Riot thought "well, too bad, I guess they don't like these events"

[@cruellsfelipedonoso6109]

At least we have some very cools skins xd

[@Zero001]

like the old star guardian events and stuff? If Riot still did these wacky events with unique mechanics I would have loved to see a Guitar Hero-like minigame with snippets of Viego's songs and Pentakill as teasers, allowing us to choose which side we want. And depending on our performance we would get bigger progress rewards, hell it could have been a teambased progress bar so "Veteran" Rythm game players could carry their teams so the newbies can focus on the fun. I don't play League anymore but I would sure login to play Rythm minigames in the client.

[@DaVideoGameBeastr]

Love the Doom background music, a man of taste I see also very fitting

[@LucasVJaunt]

Could we have a video about the lore of coven ?

[@Everlygod]

when necrit puts BRUTAL within the title you already know shits going down in lore cant wait to see it

[@vergil9981]

In the end... Viego wanted equally respect to all the gods and not just one band ruling everything ... Had to betrayed everyone ... And sacrifice himself for it to happend Was he wrong : no Was he right : neither Was necessary : no I bet if viego know that seraphine would exist ... He would just let everything rot under pentakill leadership

[@Sorrowdusk]

Viego did nothing wrong. Just like Magnus the Red did nothing wrong.

[@luminous3865]

Now there's a separated universe where Riot decided not to destroy the Temporonomicron, and the idea of Seraphine is discarded.

[@literallyalois2966]

Viego in Runeterra: "I'm mean and you will serve me, you all weaklings. ISOLDE, DON'T CALL ME A SIMP, PLEASE, TAKE MY 500$." Viego in Pentakill: "The gods are true, yes, but you people have fallen and led astray by false beliefs, by conformity, we must rise and change the world, for we are more than simple mortals, we're all true beings of love, compassion, metal and dissonance. Those with power are corrupt and hide the truth, they tried to keep a fourth god hidden, in such unfairness I raise to challenge you all."

[@ObliqueXuba]

Pentakill viego is a chad

[@Hurbster2112]

Sound like whoever wrote this stuff was a Brutal Legend fan, in my book that's a very good thing.

[@atefrghioui9320]

That doom ambient music for the story is perfect

[@sayjii]

still crazy for their music cant wait to see them at worlds

[@LucaszSchmitz]

I guess at this point Riot just retconned Pentakill again...for those who dont know, they were a band from Runeterra when all started, but KDA kind of retconed that, first Evelyn mentioning Karthus as her inspiration or something, then later making KDA part of the real world. The Pentakill album covers I take more as easter eggs more then anything, but I am sure Riot just retconed Pentakill lore again with this event.

[@OKIGorgon]

I wonder if, on the off chance no one would click during one of concert's segments, Riot would let Viego win.

[@sunnydargonnel]

I need a damn event to let me stood up at Viego's side.

[@LucaszSchmitz]

While the whole event being decided by the playerbasr would be cool, don't think Riot would do it...the effort required for it would be huge, since would basically double it

[@nezothgarone2319]

they did that on the legends of runaterra ruination event, in wild rift also, and guess what, viego won in both events because we choose him over the centinels xD so they did not let us choose on this because riot knew we would side with our metal daddy viego, and they wanted pentakill to win

[@shawnatic]

I can't tell if Pentakill lore is just made up for fun as a PR thing in the music universe or it's the actual history where humans used to worship Rock in the past, and after the incident with Viego, it spawned other genres of music. I'm fine with either but the latter is much more awesome.

[@Xaalderan]

This is probably one of the best pieces of lore in all of league even tho it's a different cannon

[@pinelosbreak8550]

imagine this is like a debut for Viego in colab with Pentakill, the band and the singer quite friendly afterward and hang out after or at a fan meeting with the KD/A. stage gimmick and Band Lore alway made thing more interesting for sure. also Imagine Pentakill doing colab with other band like KD/A or True damaged, it would be a pleasant view for world building, ngl.

[@LucaszSchmitz]

I think some rivalry between the groups would be better, would reflect better reality haha on interviews metal artists usually trash pop groups when asked their opinions about it.

[@pinelosbreak8550]

@@LucaszSchmitz i mean, yea. that could work but also KD/A kinda fangirling over pentakill so i just think that a more chill contact could be a better option.
