UNHOLY MOTHER - Diablo IV song (by Jonathan Young, feat

[@jonathanymusic]

What game should I make a song about next? 😈

[@flowingleaf1677]

Overwatch

[@JosephLipari]

Ever considered Dishonored or Doom? I'd love to hear you make a song about those! Though they're older games, so the algo may not favor them. Still, a man can dream!

[@septerrarikuszi]

Maybe Metal version of Spider dance from Undertale. I know there is already one by someone but i would to see your version of this song.

[@wolfiek1604]

Witcher!!!!!! 🐺Cyberpunk or Assassin also seem great 🤔

[@jonkerrmusic]

Hollow Knight, Mount & Blade: Bannerlord, or Warhammer 40K: Boltgun.

[@AnkaJon]

It's so beautiful, so dark, so breathtaking. It's a magnificent piece of work. It's an honor to see the process of creating this masterpiece on the streamer.

[@redshurikenrlsh1951]

Jonathan always delivers masterpieces. 😎

[@HeisenbergFam]

The crossover we didnt deserve, but needed. Beautiful work

[@ColmRMcGuinness]

Jonathan, pls babysit my Diablo IV character, he's a frail soft man!

[@breathofthedeity2366]

Lyrics: Unholy mother holding me Carving me from clay Shape for me, a world where all my kin forever stay Unholy mother, loving me Deeper than the grave Father thinks himself above The gifts you always gave Held from Hell and Heaven She sinned to keep me safe Safe from endless warring Here, our sanctuary Unholy mother teaching me Secrets she bestows Show me what the angels never wanted me to know Unholy mother leading me through the dark below Take me to the places that the angels fear to go I feel your blood within me A debt to you I owe I'll stay awhile and listen if You always love me so

[@tinyrogue1320]

bless u

[@Kristalla.131]

Wow, what an HELLTASTIC theme!! The lyrics, the music, the visuals, Jon & Colm singing... it's impressive!! All Hail the Unholy Mother!! 🔥🔥

[@jusquanorthwind1016]

The strings you used in this evoke a similar feel to Tristram’s theme, bringing me back to that first dive into the cathedral all those years ago playing the first. It’s a strange thing to feel nostalgia from a song you‘re only just listening to for the first time.

[@MarwanAyman3]

Glad I had the privilege of watching Jon make this from scratch live on Twitch, GO FOLLOW HIM OR ELSE

[@deniblackmore2179]

It was a fascinating process to watch! How about another collab between the Bass Gang and Jon , pretty please?? 😁

[@Lukasabc]

Legend!

[@rasenshuriken9076]

Man's a genius.

[@JellemaDilemma]

I was hoping for a more brutal song but Jon never makes a bad song.

[@1845net]

I find it to be refreshing honestly. Hardcore Diablo song is to be expected, a softer take on a Diablo song makes it unique.

[@rasenshuriken9076]

I dig it. It's got this kind of dark hymn vibe.

[@Justin032106]

Getting the phrase "stay a while and listen" to fit perfectly into the song is top shelf.

[@joshbare4828]

Never commented a video before but felt motivated to do so for this. I love this song. It's haunting and beautiful. It's like an old folk song and it's absolutely great.

[@cloecullen5296]

This is beautiful. It reminds me of an old folk type song.

[@deniblackmore2179]

This has turned out so well!! It's such an atmospheric piece. Great work, Jon. 👍🙂

[@sarahleonard7309]

This is absolutely stunning. It's so beautiful! The vulnerability and yearning turning to menace gives me shivers.

[@wheezywheezzel]

Thank God. I've been listening to this all week on spotify. I was scared there wasn't gonna be a video

[@Earthhorn]

The sceptiocal bird is such a great picture, you have good taste!

[@BestHorseInTheStable]

The lyrics are completely unrelated to my circumstances, but my dear cat who was my epilepsy assist pet and the other half of my being, went missing, and the instruments, the melody and your beautiful voices just made the tears flood out like the Kakhovska HHP again... Though it hurts, thank you so much, because it helps to just release it. Also, though the music sounds "beautifully tragic" for me, the addition of the lyrics must surely sound as almost unbearably beautiful for other people without such a raw sob story. Love it, JY. Keep them coming ❤️‍🔥

[@Storm0483]

Honestly I expected this to be metal but the first few seconds and I'm already in love, it's instantly a Diablo song the minute the music starts and I love it. Enchanting vocals as well

[@Exbenadict]

Honestly makes me want to pick up Diablo 4 now. Thank you johnny for an amazing song.

[@charlesmaclellan8124]

Been a fan of Diablo since the 90s. D4 is definitely a good time. All 4 can be played up to 4 player co op. 8 players for D2.

[@treytucker9948]

Don't it's a really bad game, the damn thing can't even work with out a internet connection. Go play the first three instead, namely 2 as they actually work and are actually on the fucking disc when you buy it.

[@treytucker9948]

​@@charlesmaclellan8124dude don't lie to people, the game is literally the worse out of the four. The damn thing can't even work with out a internet connection, not to mention with the day one patch it has its not even on the disc you buy. It is a prime example of what is wrong with the gaming industry. While it's not as money hungry as the mobile game, it still just as bad.

[@charlesmaclellan8124]

Don't listen to that fella. Lol

[@Almog92]

got 200 hours on d4 , its aint worth the money really its a 10$ game that cant offer u much , even D3 is better . D2 in my opinon still win

[@wolfiek1604]

This song is on loop on my spotify since yesterday, it's fire omg love it so much 🔥🔥

[@MMAR10021]

Such a great song! I didn't know you could do such an slow and ethereal melody justice, but I'm so glad you did. Bravo at yet another fantastic job from all of you!

[@ChaosMarineMike-ti8zg]

Good god that’s a beautiful song- great job all around and excellently arranged Jon

[@Kati10609]

Spine tingling. You've done it again Jonathan 🙏💜 I can't stop listening, this is going to the top of my playlist. So beautiful.

[@gryffinly]

You once again show us that when you can make an original song it is at least two levels above any cover anyone can make! Keep it on!

[@wiccanmomma3969]

You have no idea how much this song has inspired me. Both in life and in D&D lol! I'd also love to hear this in a female vocal at some point. But as always your voce is beautiful and hypnotizing.

[@dragonqueen7328]

Ooh this voice and melody gives me chills... love it!

[@jeffreypflegl4961]

I love that you went with a dark folk style instead of hard rock. Very fitting and reminiscent of the original Diablo

[@Nephthys575]

Absolutely amazing! And Colm was such a great fit for this song

[@Azrael79a]

That Stairway to Heaven-like melody is so catchy and also kinda thematically appropriate for the context lol.

[@aikar6487]

I love this song, can't stop to listen. You should do more in this "soft" style.

[@ironwolf5802]

Someone said they wanted to be a unicorn when they grew up, so she just gave her a little helping hand to make it happen. It even glows.

[@roamingjay7110]

Ooh! Never played Diablo, but I love the sound of this! 👀

[@charlesmaclellan8124]

Do it. All 4. Gogogogogo

[@brandorando6377]

Most diablo players don't play for the story but most of us know that it's a great one! Also if it's just not your type of game there's actually a good number of full length novels written in the diablo universe aka sanctuary like mentioned in this song

[@Caedus696]

In the game humans were created by the union of a angel and demon who fell in love and wanted to get away from the endless war of heaven and hell. They created a sanctuary for themselves and their children. So it’s a hymn for Lilith the unholy mother of humanity.

[@Pikatrainer2]

The bazouki with the bass lead vocals are so good. Love the spicy chord progression as well

[@gibbouschild]

This was awesome to see come from nothing on Twitch!! Love the end result 💛good job y’all!

[@CryptTheNecromancer]

I love this song. Playing throughout the story, I found myself siding with the mother more so rather than the side I was fighting for. I genuinely don't understand why she's the bad guy in all this. Especially when it was an "angel of justice" who killed Rathma! A man who viewed the balance between life and death! (I also main the necromancer class, so this hit me hella hard) This song reflects my feelings for the story perfectly. Thank you!!!

[@kevz1363]

To be fair, the mc was never really on the side of Inarius or the church either. To me personally, I feel like she had the right idea with the wrong method. Instead of raising humans up, she drove the ones she was in contact with insane and tried to "protect" Sanctuary by making only herself stronger absorbing Malfisto (and assumingly take over the Burning Hells). I feel like we would have connected with her a lot more if this took place during the second time she fought Inarius in the lore - this was actually their third round. First time angles and demons that lived in Sanctuary were debating whether to kill their offspring (the nifilheim, who later became the human race). Inarius went into solitude to contemplate the matter, when he came out, Lillith had either slaughtered or banished all of the other angels and demons. Inarius couldn't bring himself to kill her, so he banished her to the void. Second time was when the Burning Hells found Sanctuary and made the Tribune. Inarius raised an army of believers to fight the demon worshipers, and somehow during that Lillith escaped from the Void. She gave power back to some of the humans, causing them to become nifilheim again. She then tried fighting both Inarius and the Tribune - while she lost and was banished to the void again, one of the nifilheim she raised managed to defeat Inarius and banish the demons back to the Burning Hells (his name is mentioned/worshiped in the game, can't remember what it was though). That's how Inarius was stuck in Malfisto's palace in the Burning Hells - after Inarius and the demons were defeated by the nifilheim, the angels and demons made a pact not to interfere with Sanctuary. Inarius was offered as a prisoner to Malfisto to sate his anger, presumably b/c he banished Lillith to the Void again (and the angles saw it as a punishment for betraying them). But in any case, I agree that this song is amazing. I'll gladly listen to it on repeat

[@Lumiria]

Chills every time it starts.

[@dimmingstar]

holyyyy, your voices sound amazing in this! the unique timbre of all of them, so resonant in their own ways 😭👌

[@BFlynn5577]

well i just found you on spotify yesterday and ive had ALL of your songs on repeat ever since. I also love the diablo franchise. This is wonderful. really getting me in the mood for the renn faire

[@helene5213]

Breathtaking! You are so talented ❤️

[@robertofiend1264]

Another one he did on stream. This song fits Colm so well, and Brandon sounds wonderful in this. Would love to see Peyton Parrish’s take on this. I think the throaty bass can fit really well with the theme of this song.

[@ladydread5838]

That was fan-freaking-tastic man! Always appreciate the nods towards the man, the myth, the legend who is known throughout Sanctuary as Deckard Cain 😢. The lyrics were perfect and the melancholy tone of the music was superb. Awesome job guys, well done! 👍😎💖😊

[@Mishmoshgosh]

I have literally had this running on repeat on spotify since it dropped the other day. Its brilliant!

[@SOGTrueBeliever]

Chilling, powerful, expertly sung, thank you for this song

[@Jacobgrimoire]

Yes so good and my boy Colm rocking those notes as usual! great collab!

[@valor2746]

Nice job! Had me thinking Misty Mountains. I liked the take on this one.

[@corvoattano5203]

Wasn't expecting you to make a song about Diablo but of course it is a welcomed surprise. Song and it's vibe are incredible.

[@thomashickman4082]

I was in the Livestream where you were perfecting this. Was so awesome to watch.

[@mirroredrealities1639]

Yo, Johnathan Young _and_ Colm Mcguinness in the same song? Did christmas come early?

[@Qi.Ai1314]

The low tones vibrating through headphone, amazing ASMR talent : D

[@Esteves2102]

I was there while he wrote, produced and recorded this. I love his streams.

[@TheCreepypro]

love when jon and colm team up! props to brandon for holding his own with 2 powerhouses!

[@balazsdusek]

man I love bells in songs it makes them so epic

[@nathanrood865]

Excellent job you three!

[@Necro616]

Those deep notes gave me fucking chills! Very good job!

[@wzackwzackw]

This is stunning and beautiful! Need more songs like this!! Great songwriting, too!

[@longtsun8286]

Excellent performance.

[@MadWizard89]

Man you low register is so amazing

[@TheVolcanocraft]

Just as Diablo 4 has been a breath of fresh air for me the first good looter in a while, this song has such a good vibe to it.

[@raidenprt]

Keep up the good work ma man. Big hug from Portugal

[@nikmarshall2989]

Love this so much and the video is great. I wish you’d put the audio only version back up though too. I know I could just go to Spotify but I’m lazy.

[@brittanyanders3715]

cant get this one out of my head, its wonderful

[@Spirited_skiing]

When you’re listening to a Jonathan young song and the Diablo music kicks in

[@zireael-8942]

I was impatiently waiting for this one !!!! it sounds like a lullaby, luuuuv it so much ♥

[@YumiFuZ]

This sounds hauntingly beautiful. 💙

[@sterasigma8734]

Wow. Between Heaven And Hell sounds epic, but this one hit in a more personal way.

[@Chaos468]

Beautifully dark and deep!❤️

[@paoloadp]

Great bass voice!!

[@BrandonCroker]

Hellishly awesome

[@cyrusardyn]

Ungodly beautiful. Well done, you guys!

[@ImperialKnight770]

after this, I can't help but feel sorry for Lilith. All she wanted to do was protect her children.

[@nexusthenormie5578]

Facts, not to mention the sheer betrayal from her lover too.

[@MrHGravity]

Right, just ignore the part where she unleashed a 5 headed demon dog and the lord of flame on a city just to get more power, or the part where she turns people into murdering psycho's. Thanks mom! Humanity has shut down the prime evil more then once by this point. We really didn't need help, but she was way too arrogant to believe otherwise.

[@danylonazarov]

well, seeing how she wanted to use her children as soldiers to destroy both heaven and hell... i would take Inarius' approach with "lets just all hide and live in our own sanctuary"

[@nexusthenormie5578]

​@@danylonazarov Her logic was sound somewhat though, Heaven and Hell can't threaten her children if they're utterly defeated, it also would end the endless conflict between heaven and hell

[@danylonazarov]

@@nexusthenormie5578 "just because she is correct doesn't mean she is right"©

[@Amie.K_2024]

Oooooo… this is beautiful… thank all of you ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Nemo-Nihil]

I find it very interesting that Lilith, a demoness, is the Mother of Humanity.

[@sandyhannah9399]

This is incredible!! Definitely a new favorite ❤

[@saltysteve-xp2wt]

This song needs a metal cover! Nicely done!

[@DiamondTheGamer]

Wow!!! this was so good!! I CANT BELIEVE BRANDON CAN SING HES SO GOOD TOO Everyone was fantastic!!!💙💙 i met Brandon the other day wonderful person! beautiful song guys!

[@Kim.Garian]

I met Brandon as well, back in Anime Boston of this year. He really is amazing, and like his voice acting, his singing is SUPERB.

[@DiamondTheGamer]

@@Kim.Garian That’s amazing you also got to meet him, he’s definitely a sweetheart too! i gave him a drawing i made and said it wasn’t exactly the best and he loved it he was so precious he was so happy about the art (i drew Sir Nighteye btw!) he’s so precious! 💙

[@bethbaskett3]

Absolutely magnificent visuals and incredible singing, as always! Wonderful, really, you guys, thank you...

[@cosmosalone200]

I need this in a 10 hour loop

[@SonneSai]

Savage Gardens- I Want You. Not only was it a Jojo end credits song, but it is a good song in general! XD

[@Bellandora]

Wow! This is absolutely fantastic!

[@corpselight7989]

This has swiftly become a favorite song

[@ekki6820]

Beautifully done, lads.

[@abdullaegamov593]

Im listening it about 15 times. Great job. Thanks

[@KainYusanagi]

Interesting imagery. Almost like they're playing Diablo off as being not a force of great evil, but something inbetween, that was simply labelled as such by Angels, now. Not sure I like it, but the song, on the other hand? That shit slaps hard. Well done, Colm & Jonathan.

[@rolkflameraven1483]

That isn't Diablo, that is Lilith. Still a demon, but calling her "Unholy Mother" isn't far from the truth when it comes to Diablo's lore. Diablo himself would be closer to "uncle" then anything else.

[@KainYusanagi]

@@rolkflameraven1483 Ah, my bad. I assumed they just continued the trend with Diablo IV that started in Diablo III of having Diablo inhabiting a female body. I truly don't care for the product that the series has become since the second game's expansion, so I haven't played it at all.

[@heeidomo]

Woow amazing 🔥🔥🔥😍

[@lilimarlene8869]

Magique....féeries.....passionnant....quelle musique diabolique j adore !

[@Jornah]

I love this! This is a whole vibe, reminds me abit of the MTG songs you made which was also amazing setting the mood with the lore and stuff.

[@ByrdieFae]

Holy dang, this is so good. ❤ **listens five times in a row** (EDIT: I lied, it was seven times.)

[@Nova_13]

I love this! It's haunting and beautiful.😊

[@nguyenhoangkhang2967]

Have this masterpiece on loop rn, great job brother

[@abeluscanga2648]

My favorite collab

[@JennaCydeEdits]

This song perfectly encapsulates the atmosphere of the game, as well as our Blessed Mother. Hail Jonathan Young and company on a beautiful melody! ❤

[@Azrael79a]

I can imagine them singing this in the tavern at the beginning of the story lol.

[@SuperCred1t]

A beautiful hymn for our unholy mother
