Automaton Hell March - A Helldivers Metal Cover

I heard the Automaton March track and was immediately inspired to do something Hell March-ish, and spent the weekend writing and recording my Automaton Hell March theme.

After completing the song, @Jofoyo volunteered to make an animation video for the track also inspired by the original Automaton March animation.

And by extra treasonous demand, the song is now available on Spotify where it has also been remastered to further serenade your ears with treason. Find it here:

Big thanks to everyone for the awesome comments and love for the track so far, it's been exciting watching this thing blow up as it has!


Finally - if you know another cool rhythmic beat from a game or such that you think would make an awesome song sample, leave a comment! I'd love to check it out.

The exact moment when trees started speaking in binary,

Malevelon Creek, febuary 8 2024

Automaton metal? No shit Sherlock, that's what they're made of.

[Obozo_Gaming]

Now I'm imagining a Devastator or a Hulk walking around with shoulder mounted speakers.

"Command told us the bots don't feel emotion. But when I landing on Melevelon Creek, and I saw those red eyes in the forest... I saw nothing but Hate."

[Cyberhawkzz]

Bugs act like bugs…these bots look you in the eye and go for the head. It’s definitely personal.

i never knew treason could sound so fire

BEEP BOOP, THEY JUST HIT THE SECOND MANUFACTURING FACILITY.

[CalmestManOnMars]

When it comes to their voices, I like to think that they DON'T have some kind of voice box. I think they are painfully and angrily forcing their systems to make different mechanical noises using their crudely manufactured internal peices. They HATE humanity with such a burning passion that they communicate even when they aren't supposed to, and that it why it sounds like VVVRRREEECH

[StarFoth]

This is why Helldivers doesn’t fit on the “war is hell” “war is fun” spectrum of games
It sits on both extremes simultaneously

[KraNisOG]

Fun Fact about the bots.
Sometimes you can hear the bots begging to be killed, and also near their factories you can see piles of humans with stitches on their head, implying that they're stealing the brains for something, likely being placed in these automaton bots, where sometimes enough human gets out to beg to be killed.

[DrPepsiSeppy]

This is why Automatons are my personal favorite

Diary of a diver: When we all graduated training we thought that it was over, nothing could best with us the way we were beat down in training, hell even the bugs seamed so weak compared to the instructors. We first were deployed to Helmire, a planet that much like its name sake was a fiery desert with pillars of flame that devoured even the biggest of the bugs, they never stood much of a chance, we left that planet covered in craters and corpses and hell id even say we had fun doing it, but that changed the day we received transfer orders to the wester front. By the time I saw the creek it was already lost and the story's had flooded in from across the fleet, certain death was all that awaited us down amongst the jungles. the second we broke atmosphere and were able to see our surroundings we realized what had happened, a once thriving and prosperous colony was reduced to towers of steal and red, fabricators as far as the eyes could see. When we finally slammed into the earth and checked our orders we were to find a command bunker and cut off the bots in the area from communicating with the others in the area. The first time we saw the bots we were confidant, confidant that they would be just like the bugs, easy and full of fear, we were wrong. Addams was the first to open fire, he got a good few of them before a long stream of light left his legs detached from him, I still cant get him out of my head. Jackson and Monroe weren't so lucky, the rockets flew faster then they could react to, Monroe was mist on the spot. Jackson could have only prayed for going out that quickly, this.. thing with a saw for an arm got to him before i could, I don't want to think about it anymore. I did what I could, I hid and crawled until i could see the bunker thankfully the powers that be gifted me with a 500kg bomb, I never knew concrete could fly that high. The joy and adrenalin quickly wore off and I realized that on my way to the evac site the lasers kept getting closer and closer, almost dialing me in. Then I saw it, pelican one was waiting for me, and so was safety. I Leaped into the back and felt the cold familiar meatal of the bay, but just before the door could close a bot with a jump pack had leaped up and had gotten cought in the door. It spoke, it spoke and I couldn't make a word of it out, but just before the door was able to overcome it weak frame I looked into its eyes, these bots were nothing like the bugs, so full of fear they'd run from our flames and bullets, no the bots only felt one thing, and that was hate.
