[@PumkRock]

This ost captures the 40k aesthetic better than anything I've ever heard before. Mechanicus was good at portraying the vibe of Tech Priests specifically, but this ost nails *the setting* in general. So many 40k games use music that is completely interchangeable with a fantasy setting. You could put the OST of Space Marine, or most of the dawn of war games, over a game about knights, dwarves and elves, and orcs fighting with swords- and it would be just as fitting. But despite the fact that knights, elves, dwarves and Orks actually exist in warhammer 40k, and they often do fight each other with swords, it's a science fiction setting. Not only that, it's a gothic retro sci-fi setting, invented in the 80s. The electronic element of this ost mixed with intentionally dated synth sounds, creepy strings, and the usual gothic choir elements are incredible. I'm playing the beta right now, and as I was running for my escape ship after a successful mission- the track "escape initiated" started playing, with that warped VHS tape sounding synth playing as I was blasting mutants and running for my life. It felt so RIGHT.

[@joshberkin5567]

There are elves in 40k?

[@PumkRock]

@@joshberkin5567 Yeah. The Eldar. They are an alien race that predates humanity's ascension to a space-fairing species. They even have a Sci-fi Dark Elf counterpart. In 40k lore, the Eldar were the dominant faction in the galaxy whist humanity were still living in caves and banging rocks together to make fire. They were so advanced that they managed to manipulate reality itself to create pocket dimensions in the warp. They created a network of colossal "tunnels" through the warp that allowed them to travel the immaterial realm without having to actually traverse hell in a space ship. This "webway" was so vast as to even contain entire sub realms- big enough to house captured stars. They were the Kings of the universe- but they fucked it all up. At the height of it's power, Eldar society reached such heights of decadence and depravity that it accidently created a new chaos god. Slaanesh, the chaos god of sex drugs and rock and roll, was born from the death scream of the eldar race. Now the only space elves left are those who saw the writing on the wall and isolated themselves on planet sized merchant vessels- who didn't indulge in that kind of thing, and their dark elf counterparts who were only spared because they were inside the webway when the fall occurred. They are a doomed race. Any time an eldar dies, the chaos god slaanesh consumes their soul. The craftworld Eldar use soulstones to prevent this, and the Dark Eldar survive by substituting their own doom with the suffering of others. They feed Slaanesh the suffering of their victims to stave off their own inevitable consumption. The Emperor himself actually planned to conquer the webway as part of his plan to eliminate humanity's dependence on the warp- as part of his scheme to defeat chaos once and for all. It didn't work out very well.

[@sanderkiki]

Just listen Mechanicus OST. Its phenomenal.

[@feinky8489]

Could agreed more ma'am

[@Luckmann]

I disagree. It is a very good OST, and it is a very good soundtrack for an industrial hive world, but WH40k - not to be confused with nu40k - is an expansive, eclectic setting, and this music would be entirely out of place in a game set in, for example, a jungle-covered death world involving a war against xenos and the environment, or a peaceful backwater agricultural world involving clandestine investigations. Hell, it would be out of place on many hive worlds, even, let's say a frozen underground one based around refinement or run-of-the-mill consumer goods and services. The genius of this soundtrack is that it fits this particular game in this particular location extremely well. No more, no less. Further, WH40k was never a science-fiction setting; it was always a retro-gothic science-fantasy setting based in 80's pulp of both science-fiction and fantasy.

[@Bona_Tempora]

I think we all agree that vermintide/darktide are like doom in the sense that the music is one of the key components in getting your blood pumping while playing, major respect to the composer

[@neiloch]

"escape and panic" from vermintide 2 actually makes me feel anxious and its not from being anxious while playing. I didn't play it much but when I heard it I noticed it immediately and had to figure out what it was.

1:19:07 Imperial Advance is so good because at first the rhythm feels awkward. It's almost as if you're wishing it were faster, or sped up, but it doesn't. Instead it keeps a steady, almost too slow pacing, just on the brink of feeling bored, and it keeps that rhythm all the way through. The imperium advances in a steady, disciplined march, never rushing to avoid mistakes

[@PoolNoodleGundam]

which is a little at odds because rushing into mistakes is the Imperium's foundational principle

Ever since I saw the trailer yesterday the soundtrack at 21:58 is so good it got me to buy the game in a heartbeat

[@rockkiller124]

Its sooooo good, OST prefectly represents 40k

But that's not the same track as in the trailer. The trailer one has a much faster beat

@@BaleygrrI prefer this one !

I love how when it comes to chaos and the warp, it doesn't try to make it just bad guy music, but really tries to evoke the sheer unnatural horror that it is.

I've never played a game where the music drives you this much. Its like a direct line to your brain that makes you go completely popeye spinach mode as soon as the bass drops

among all the menacing and booming themes, there's Path of Trust. what a beautiful piece.

[@tavo9716]

This and the Mechanicus OST are what the Emperor listens on the Golden Throne

[@metaduke1544]

A beautiful mix of choir, industrial, symphony, and synth. This soundtrack is soooooooooooooooooooooooo good I actually went out of my way to buy it to show support

[@BornofIron]

Jesper, I really hope you read this. As someone that has heard the bursts of your work since AC... you've absolutely outdone yourself. This feels like 40k without going towards troupes. It's dirty. It's mechanical. It has that essence of dark synth that just reminds you of Terminator. I'm not well versed in explaining the nuances of music but I can tell you beyond all reasonable doubt your achievement in this OST is the talk amongst so many friends and if that's representative of a single person... imagine when you put this exponentially. Cheers for you, cheers to the fans, cheers to Fatshark.

[@PowerPuffSoldier]

wow, giving us 2 hours of soundtrack... for free. you are amazing, Fatshark. May jesper Kyd receive the Emperor's blessing.

[@sugarcombfilms3467]

For some reason, I find "Scanning Commences" @ 1:55:32 to be so calming. Hearing it in game after plunging through hundreds of daemonic cultists in the sewers and slums of the underhive feels like an oasis in the desert.

Everything from bladerunner, terminator, one winged angel, doom, quake, unreal tournament, Nier automata and so many more tunes.

Whether or not it might be glitchy or have performance issues at launch, I say that DarKTide is probably the Warhammer 40k game that has the greatest GrimDark feeling of all 40k games.
