I don't know why, but this song is so eerie to me, it gives me chills every time I listen to it. It's quite calm, but very creepy to me.

[ShiniesAreCool]

This is absolutely not what I expected for the hidden boss theme. I was expecting "Admission to Perdition" or "One Hell of A Time", turned up to 11.

But it works. That sort of mid-century classical instrumentation reminds me of Fantasia, but also with the "calm yet tense, stay focused or you're dead" feel of, all too fittingly, Malenia's theme from Elden Ring.

"Wish you may, wish you might, your soul is now trapped in the night."

anyone else notice how this track doesnt muffle in the game over screen, or restart from the beginning when you restart the fight? it just keeps playing through no matter what. you dont know how or why this music is doing that. you know from the broken hourglass you saw when you loaded into the fight that something is very clearly wrong here. that plus the fact that its like super calm music for a BOSS fight, and very unlike any of the other tracks in the game. the use of music in this whole encounter definitely adds so much to the eerie, ominous, surreal tone its trying to convey. i love it so much

I did not expect a Binding of Isaac boss to show up in Cuphead. Love the nod to Admission to Perdition!

[alvaroperez]

The fact they go this far just to make a Castlevania II reference really says something about their dedication.

[Fawnyiie]

I’m getting strong coralline vibes from this boss.

[DoodleWill]

Ah yes... just what I wanted in my Cuphead...

Ikaruga.

[maximus]

It seems like nobody can settle om what this is a reference to.

[ПростоОбычный-цд]

Вообще на самом деле выглядело бы всё иначе. Представьте себе, что вы играете от первого лица, играет эта музыка и сражаешься с огромным существом смахивающем на демона. Он вас атакует а вы слышите, что позади вас тоже кто-то есть, вы оглядываетесь и видите перед собой снова этого демона. Снова оглядываетесь и видите перед собой скалящуюся морду изверга. Ты просто извертелся бы на месте. Как в subnautica.

[sharongranados]

Dude this song sounds like something out of like The Owl House show or something idk lol

[Slimerson]

To re-fight this boss, hold the back top buttons on whatever system u on (not the triggers) in front of the middle gravestone

[rodrigovegasherranz]

Esta música es increíble, inquietante, misteriosa y hasta da miedo, cuphead no deja de sorprenderme !!!

[shiruotakuno]

Am I the only one here that noticed that this song is a slowed down, more atmospheric version of "Admission to Perdition"?

[ruby_from_bfdi]

Imagine if this played in an empty mall

[knightcorelowercase]

Nah cause the poor hourglass before this
