Soulless 5

Spent a very long time on this. Hope you all enjoy.

Gamo, Jacob Landon, BlueMetal, and Plumato all did a serious amount of work in charting or helping chart the lower level difficulties (Easy, Medium, and Hard).

Magister Ingenia, Sidney600, and Digital Squirrel all gave a lot of feedback in improving the drums in the song up to and including re-composing some the drum parts themselves.

Also big shout out to all the people who hung out in Twitch watching me chart and compose the song. I know a lot of you helped out and gave advice so I apologize that I can't name you all. I probably would have removed the "Pirates" section and done other things without your feedback.

All difficulties are charted (Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert). Coop and drum charts will come out in the future.

The mastering here was quick and dirty. I will probably do a more thorough job when the drum/coop tracks are released.

*NOTE: YOU MUST BE ON THE LATEST VERSION OF CLONE HERO (v21.6) TO PROPERLY PLAY SOULLESS 5*
Older versions WILL cause problems

[flibbertigibbeteer]

16:39 to the end is a literal masterpiece. Very underrated part and honestly very underrated song in general.

[emirinobambino]

In my mind, ExileLord has always been the Final Boss of Guitar Hero--the "evil villain" of the series. From this song I learned ExileLord is a lot like Perfect Cell, but instead of Cell Jr.'s, ExileLord seems more fond of pirates, which seems more appropriate.

[gaulopedes]

listening to this without plastic being smashed in the background is awkward

[Aguyontheinternet]

I was honestly expecting just 17 minutes of Machinations A.

[captainvafeas]

I think out of all the Soulless songs, this one is the most listenable. Like I can imagine myself actually listening to this in the car.

[Destro]

Not gonna lie, both soulless 4 and 5 are very calming to me. I could listen to them for hours and never get tired of them

[Crunkmaster]

sounds way better without acai screaming over it 👍

[Morkeric]

gh shit aside, this is really melodically pleasing as a whole. good songwriting.

[crippledcrusader]

This whole chart is a masterpiece, but I think 10:23-10:52 is by far the best part. It’s such a transcendent part, like you’ve started to win a boss fight in a fast paced fighting game.

[LeviathanSushi]

I love how pirate-y this song sounds, i can just imagine a bunch of drunken scoundrels in a tavern sharing their tales of adventure on the high seas to this music.

[artthefarter]

Just imagine being in 2007 and thinking through fire and the flames was the hardest song ever and all of sudden this pops up in all the players list. Little ol me would shit themselves.

[JB-bcry]

Soulless : "You're going to love this. Trust me, what you're seeing now is my normal state."
*Powers Up*
Soulless: "This is a Soulless 2."
*Powers Up*
Soulless: "And this... this is what as known as a Soulless that has surpassed a Soulless 2!
Or you can call this a Soulless 4."
Haters: "Ho hum. What a useless transformation. You changed your notes, so what?!"
Soulless: *"And this...."*
The Community: "What is he doing?!"

Soulless:
*Is*
*To*
*Go*
*EVEN*
*FURTHER*
*B E Y O N D !*

(Cue S5)

[HypeWrecks]

This is, unironically, one of my favorite songs of all-time. Such a nice bounce and progression throughout the song and a ton of insanely good melodies to match. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.

Imagine the nerves the bot had while FC'ing this.

[noed]

It’s always nice coming back here every once in a while and giving this a listen, hope you’re doing well Exile.

[terraventus]

1:53 Midnight Trills is a total eargasm for me. The chord progression just sounds so satisfying, it's amazing.
