Doesn’t matter how many times they redo it, it’ll never get old for me.

[pointblank]

The fact that it’s literally the same song yet I find myself falling in love with it every year, the sound team at Treyarch never ceases to amaze me.

[Juangomezzz]

I love how its always the same song but it never seems to get boring

[branpod]

Glad this song gets to the Damned part faster than CW. That song was a good “build up” for the new storyline, but now we’re in the thick of it. And I love the violin

[williamjohnson]

Can't wait to play this while I'm running 60km/h with my upgraded Stamina Up.

[Basharkk]

This sound so much like the original Damned and I love it 😍🔥

[ShrmpRamen]

this kinda fire ngl
Shouldn't expect anything else from Jack Wall, Kevin Sherwood, And fuckin Bear McCreary

[papismurf_fmt]

Its weird to see no one mentioning that they have Kevin Sherwood, Jack Wall, and Bear McCreary on this shit, this shit be sounding so dope no wonder

[kaleroberts]

Everyone of these is like a little Christmas for me

[KOdden]

They really just missed the chance to call it Damned V, as in Damned Vanguard

[PorkypineO]

Bro this damned is so peaceful while being energetic

[wtpiv]

1:06 when the Percussion starts… oh man one of the best “Damned” versions I’ve ever heard.

[finney]

Kevin sherwood is a God with creating music, every thing he creates for treyarch is an absolute masterpiece, I love his EE songs

[blackoutstrider]

BO1: The utter despair in the midst of a zombie apocalypse
BO2: The embers of a broken world trying to survive
BO3: The fight for a better tomorrow
BO4: The end of an era to save the universe
Cold War: The past has come back to haunt a new age
Vanguard: The apocalypse begins anew

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Vanguard’s use of that intense violin makes all the difference.

[Kunjora]

Worried zombies fans: This year will be rough 😓
Treyarch: Drop it.

[iamnerfgunii]

i wish the actual game was as good as this

[loss_]

This has the potential to be the best iteration of this song. I absolutely love how it captures the fantastical and deeply emotional feeling from the old Aether storyline and incorporates it with the new Dark Aether storyline, but still giving its own touch. It feels like this is where both stories finally meet.

[CyborgFranky]

THIS SOUNDS SO GOOD THANK YOU! It reminds me of the bo2 days :) I a time to be alive.

Damned 1: the consuming of a corrupted universe
Damned 2: the beginning of the fall of a new universe
Damned 3: the light overcome darkness and cycled everything again
Damned 4: the fallen universes collide to end madness and create a new one for the chosen ones
Echo damned: the fallen universes try to surge again
Damned 5: a dark surge in the universe that starts to corrupt the balance
