Tower of God Composer Kevin Penkin Performs "Black March"

[@rempacious]

This guy made the music for the never-ending deep abyss and now reaching to the top of the tower of god

[@boogaloo_weed]

What would happen if we stuck the tower into the abyss? Would it make a baby?

[@AWanderingSwordsman]

@@boogaloo_weed The tower is a bit big for that. Each of its more than 134 floors are roughly the size of north america making the tower itself at least 11 times the size of earth. The abyss is only like a mile wide.

[@beckham3533]

AWanderingSwordsman Yeah we have absolutely no clue how many floors there are since Jahad chose to stop and close off the rest of the tower

[@ju5tm398]

@@AWanderingSwordsman It gets wider the deeper u go

[@lucidlullaby894]

Considering shinsu gets denser the higher you climb it’s kinda also an abyss

[@DrathianX]

They better make season 2 and have Kevin Penkin composing it, it would be a match made in heaven

[@takenawake7792]

There's most likely gonna be a season two since crunchy roll cares more about the western audience popularity unlike other Japanese studios who will only make another season if it was popular in Japan, but let's not jinx anything

[@DrathianX]

cool guy hope you’re right 🤞

[@sirmcdust5572]

@@DrathianX Considering the season 2 teasers at the end it seems unlikely for them to just drop it, if we don't get confirmation soon the crunchyroll expo seems the most likely

[@egglamd5760]

I do hope that’s it 24 episodes this time because the story is more heavy in season 2

[@mr.non-existent8137]

@@egglamd5760 yeah and I think that the workshop arc would be the best stop point for season 2. I think they could fit the Prince of Jahad arc in the first 8 episodes and have the remaining 16 be for the Workshop arc, I really hope they don't change as much next season but s1 was still a good anime.

I thought I was the only one who thought the music in this show sounded particularly good, I couldn't (until now) find others who found TOG's soundtrack as phenomenal as I did! I feel good knowing it's the same person that composed the Made in Abyss soundtrack, among other things. I can safely say I'm a fan of Kevin Penkin's work.

Damn Straight! He even composed Rising of the Shield Hero!

I love the soundtracks, but also I think that the edition team didn't do a good work using this Soundtracks, specialy in the fight scenes.

IMO, the music enhanced the show to a whole different level. The sound was so different and yet so damn fitting. I honestly loved the OST so much.

[@thesecret5706]

The dislike to like ratio tho

[@cdesy]

I'd rather have creative garbage than uncreative garbage, though...

[@nabla9790]

He probably doesn't try to be creative. Artists usually just combine ideas they like from other works of art. Kevin has been doing this for a long time now so he has a lot of experience distilling ideas that he likes and implementing them with the tools he uses. If you don't like your ideas you either have to look at more artists or need more practise implementing the ones you have.

[@Solus1254]

Its not bad bro... you feel the music! And you let the music told you a story... i imagine a great betrayal and breacked trust and hearth so... the "hero" makes vengeance at their own hand with all the rage. And far, far away from here a presence smile with satisfaction saying "A new ruler has born by pain and betray... good, good". Only my interpretation the first time i hear that.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I think Kevin Penkin is too good to work on tower of god, this fantastic man with music alone was able to stir emotions up in me that I thought I had lost, I feel like a child again experiencing something truly mystical.
