the fact most of the song sounds more "evil" and the requiem section is way longer and sadder really makes me think this would fit a lot for a Minos VS Gabriel fight

[thedonationguy]

This feels like if there was a difficulty above violence. If there’s legitimately a mod that gives Minos a phase 3 with this song, my life would be complete.

[baguetteboy]

3:11 Sounds like it'd be a final phase for Minos where you just have to survive his relentless attacks until he finally caves in, this is a really good cover

[lucaswickmansound]

Giving Minos a dark exterior with a glowing interior somehow made him look even more powerful my gosh

[ridget]

WE MAKIN IT OUT OF THE FLESH PRISON WITH THIS 🔥

[jjscuatch]

3:20 Love how instead of it being the scream of his death it sounds like he’s putting all of his power into a finale attack to beat v1

[valeriikozan]

It's been 12 hours after Machine slaughtered Gabriel. Father's light left his body for eternity, but he died as a brave warrior, not a coward he once was. V1 is sitting at the layer 9's throne and processing the results of the collected blood.
Process was interrupted by some loud noises downstairs 9-2 level. Followed by screams "Judgement" and "Die", Machine already knew who it was. Standing up from its throne, V1 started to get ready for another fight.
Error. Process was interrupted by unpredicted punch in the camera. V1 was sent flying to the wall which was behind the throne. It was not the king machine once won against: much higher, stronger... material. While getting ready for the next attack, King said:
"Machine, i found you. The path of stained blood leads to you. Even Sisyphus couldn't stop your thirst for violence. As you see, i did not die then. I was about, but my people... my kingdom... all the humanity... it called for help. I defeated death, but it seems it wasn't it. Death. You have become it. And so, to put end to your crimes... no... to you at all. Thy end is now!"
Machine finally restored its stability. Interface says: "Level P-3 // Reqiuem of Humanity. Minos Prime, King of Humanity"

Holy shit a cover that has the break core from order???? into my playlist immediately

[OGMantaxfan]

This cover REALLY gets that Minos is a tragic character. He brought a renaissance in the lust layer and refused to allow the inhabitants of lust to be punished for simply loving each other. Then Gabriel killed the guy and locked his soul away in the flesh prison while using his body as an enforcer. When V1 frees Minos prime, his first thought isn’t about V1, it’s about Gabriel and what he had done to the people of the lust layer. And when V1 kills Minos, he simply asks for forgiveness due to him being unable to bring them salvation, and he dies regretful. This cover really understands the idea of Minos’ tragedy, with is different key and much longer use of the requiem leitmotif which exemplifies the tragedy of his character.

Why did I write this in my graphics class?

[weelolol]

the dead stop at 3:00 sounds so impactful, an abrupt and sudden end to what was supposed to be his revenge, his justice for what gabriel did to him, his last chance at redemption. no final fight against heaven, no rebuilding of his city, no more chances to right a wrong.
combined with the music it just sounds so sorrowful, as if he was so close, if he had just beaten v1, if he had just tried a little harder, if he had just FOUGHT a little harder, just if...
all he can do is apologize to deaf ears, as his kingdom was already gone

[saitamaonepunchman]

I love the fact you turned his death scream into like a cry of anguish. this whole song (no offense Hakita my beloved) sounds like a improved, more emotionally charged version of the original

[Octoling]

it feels sad, as what minos went through just to free those who sinned lust, because he believed eternal punishment for loving one another was just unfair. fails and dies to a horrific blood fueled machine, failing to free his people in the end. good work with the cover.

[justanothercommentercarryo]

It's so... tragic, and hateful all the same. While the originals intro almost feels like the game screaming at you "say goodbye to your shins, machine, " the intro here sounds like Minos holding back his rage and tears moments before he unleashes all of his pent up rage and sorrow towards the heavens for wronging his people. And that Requiem section, the brief fake out along side the dialogue feels so raw and hurting.

Also I have to admit I like the main chord progressions here way more than the original, especially with the primary leitmotif. Theres this overall finality to it that makes me think of if Minos got his own game where you play as him after breaking free from the flesh prison, and this would be the fight between him and his own puppeted corpse, filled with rage as he pummels it down and all the while cursing Gabriel for his sick ways, vowing to tear down the heavens with his own hands.

Because I haven't alluded to it enough, I'll say it outright: I fucking love this.

[sussy]

this hits harder than those 2 trains did in Crush, Texas during September 15th 1896

[dojyaan]

I like how this version of his theme sounds. Its more heroic sounding rather than evil

[taskforceboi]

This is what HE heard while the fight was on.

[gronm]

after beating minos prime and learning his lore, this cover makes it so much more emotional and impactful, the original song is hype for the boss fight and you'd imagine ultrakill is just a funny shooter with v1 memeing on everybody and yet the game can have such badass and tragic characters like King Minos, absolutely terrific and emotional cover i love it
