Jesper Kyd - Apocalypse (Lyrics)

"Apocalypse" is a song composed by Jesper Kyd and performed jointly with the Budapest Symphony Orchestra and the Hungarian Radio Choir. It features Kyd's trademark ambience and dark, foreboding arrangements with the choral parts in deep brooding Latin. The song appears on the album Hitman: Blood Money Original Soundtrack.

This piece MAKES the game. Still my favorite Hitman game to this day.

[nuclarsnak]

1. Jesper Kyd is a genius
2. Hitman has a depth people don't understand

[jonahdrake]

I'm still baffled that IO hasn't hired Jesper Kyd back for the new Hitman. It'd be be near perfect with a soundtrack as composed by him.

[iolss]

What I love about this song/game is that, while it is playing, your adrenaline bumps but you probably aren't shooting everyone, instead you are silently, and disguised, down the stairs leaving the opera after the targets are assassinated, but the player inside is euphoric!

[crazypants]

Jesper Kyd needs some recognition, man he was great and still potentially is!

[Habiyeru]

The newer music makes you feel like James Bond. This one makes you feel like the Grim Reaper.

[KionTheLion]

"Fear us, our ancestors, future generations, and past"
Getting strong Assassin's Creed vibes from that line

[archangel]

The magnum opus of Jesper Kyd's career...

[undulycriticalobserver]

A compelling soundtrack.

When listening to the lyrics when they’re translated from Latin, it becomes more a message to those who might try to disrupt this shadow organization and its clients.

A warning to
Anyone who dares try to change the world they’ve made.

Ominous and intimidating, but fear can only work for so long, and every group, from the smallest tribe to the mightiest empire eventually falls.

Either though a change in leadership, greed for more than what is offered or an upstart rival that was underestimated through blind hubris.

[ruidesousaYTC]

Best Hitman game, ever. This soundtrack fits like a glove.

[Jack-Eugen]

Some people say new games hitman have good songs but when the old games hitman they start soundtracks you don't miss with the old school games on minute 1:10 :))

[hugo_stern]

hearing this after syncing up the shot in curtains down still gives me chills

[_theryanchap]

'Do you know what kind of world you have been shaping?...Does the ICA?...Does your Handler?...I live in that world...'
Part of me thinks all of this has been a precursor to this....

Budapest Symphony Orchestra the greatest ever, Hit Man is a unique story.

This music plays when I walk out of the murder scene like a badass

[Jkp]

The french horn is the best part of this whole piece

[Danbotology]

The greatest song about hummus ever written.

[mcarrizales]
