FRAUD - 8-3 - I Said And Grinned || ULTRAKILL Fanmade OST

TEXT SCANNED - LEGIBLE SCRIPT:

"...So much time has passed down in this horrible pit.
Most of the sinners here have already gone insane, I can't stand this much longer.
It's watching me. It always does. Why won't it go away?
I'm afraid of my own reflection. Why won't it go away?
It's just a little piece of glass
What is a little piece of glass
The loud noise of rain heard beyond these buildings haunts me for all my time here.
What is there beyond this black sky?
What is the sky?
What is
What is a little piece of glass?
Why won't it go away?
It watches me.
It always does.
Twisted reflections of my own self,
Let me breathe under the dark air that fills this damned city.
Let me breathe
LET ME BREATHE
LET ME BREATHE
LET ME..."

[HelloYesAmWoman]

This is definitely one of the more somber feeling Ultrakill tracks you've made without sacrificing the entire mood to it. It feels perfectly swingy and rock enough without giving too much of it away to the looming sadness and fear. 100% my favourite Fraud track so far and I'm saying that without bias of drawing the cover art. Just genuinely in love with this one
And once again thanks for letting do the art for this one :D Really proud to go from listening and enjoying to be able to add my own lil flair on this channel <3

The accordian makes "10-1 FRANCE" enter my head

[liquidscreamisnomore]

HELL IS ALMOST EMPTY
END IS NEAR
GABRIEL WAITS

Me getting sent to hell because I faked being an E-girl on discord for nitro:

[Migdecim]

*God damn it V2 i shouldnt have trowed those coins away. now im in deep debt.*

[TheRealCorkscrew]

This feels like a lament of everything, almost like V1 has become conscious of what he's doing and feels the smallest morsel of regret. But he knows he must keep going for he has nothing but bloodlust.

[Florpcilor]

V1 forgot about his taxes and got caught.

[ozyruzf]

V1 realizing it has to explain to Gabriel why his boyfriend from Wrath went missing.


Quality music as always. The accordion makes this track very distinct and memorable.

I don't know where to put this, so I'll just put it here.

The large layers in ULTRAKILL are split into 4 sections: the theme setter, the "day-in-life", the contrast, and the climax/boss.
Limbo starts off as a bit of a trendbreaker, with the theme being clear but the second level screwing it over somewhat (as 1-2 always does). The Halls of Sacred Remains provides a great contrast and the V2 bossfight slays.
Lust follows this formula to a tee: 2-1 setting the atmosphere, 2-2 having you live among the citizens, 2-3 clashing brightly with the run-down nature of Lust, and 2-4 being a playable cutscene (after you kill the Hand of the Corpse of King Minos).
Greed starts with the pyramid of 4-1 being shown from afar, building to 4-2's bright setting of roasting gold dust as you trek the sands with sinners, which leads to the contrast of 4-3 being in some dark and random pyramid, and ends with the spectacle of the V2 Rematch.
Wrath starts and stays calm, strangely enough. 5-1 is pretty chill and 5-2, while not having you among the sinners, has you rise above them in some not-so-subtle hinting. 5-3 turns everything on its head (hehe, pun) and 5-4 is home to the ender of worlds.
From what the teasers have shown of Violence, it also appears to follow this pattern: 7-1 being horrifyingly calm yet murderous, 7-2 being a greyscale warzone (not really saying much), and 7-3 finally having color from trees of suffering souls.
After watching all 3 of your USTs for Fraud, this certainly has a contrasting feel to it. Rather than being like the others contrasts, it takes the 4-3 approach: calmer and more somber. 5-3's influence is not lost here, but it seems to be for a... ballad rather than an upbeat song? I don't _really_ know what a ballad is, but that sounds about right.

Great work! Keep it up!

THE ACCORDION MAKES THIS SOUND

[Pixel]

0:46 hits so hard, it's really impressive how well you can make songs that would fit incredibly well into the actual game

[afonsocabral]

This music was released exactly 1 year after the best day of school I had in my entire life.

[icettour]

i'm not exaggerating when i say this is one of the best ultrakill custom songs i've heard. it literally sounds like something hakita would make. amazing work!

[the_nerd_showtv]

You know shit is getting real when the cover art for the layer changes.

Also, I've not listened to your entire discography, but I think this is your best work!

[meep]

"We shall meet again soon, for our final time." I said and grinned, as the machine approached the Python's place of residence, for I had realized that no side of this conflict would survive in the end, while I myself was preparing for our grand showdown in the deep circle of Treachery.
