[Jibboe]

This music goes HARD!
Kinda like Nanomachines in response to physical trauma.

[landchannel]

I don't know how, but japanese managed to make Exelsus more american than americans could ever made.

[sulphurous]

0:50 I love the violins that can be heard without the vocals.

[randizer]

Remove the lyrics entirely and the song seriously sells that your fighting a giant mech spider.

[captncuddlybear]

"Their voices won't be heard at all."
Yes, that's because this is the instrumental verson, where there are no vocals.

[MrcreeperDXD]

Feels like fighting a mechanical worm, two eyes and a skull named after greek gods

[lonewolf]

At 0:26 I had the swords attack in perfect rhythm to the song as I parried them. Made it my favorite fight in the entire game.

[UCG]

"Wouldn't want any eyewitness reports complicating the message!"

[pantuternik]

This fits so well for any kind of giant mech/robot boss. Tried it on Terraria's Mech bosses and DRG's Caretaker so far. I suppose metal fits the mechanical nature of the bosses, and the song is very... crushing? Like, it fits very well for a desperate fight against an overwhelming force.

[empducks]

0:37 the part after this sounds so cool and satisfying

[pap_]

1:29 that part harder than nanomachines when they respond to physical trauma

[pj]

It's always amazing to hear some orchestrated instruments within a heavy metal/rock music track.
Makes it sound all the more badass, epic and phenomenal.
This is the kind of stuff I don't think you can get from any other form of entertainment outside of gaming, really.

[weaselbeee]

oh my GOD the brass at 1:30 gives me so many chills

[thedeadweight]

Same with It Has To Be This Way and Red Sun, I can still hear the lyrics even just with the instrumental which is great

[Dav]

This is definition of a final boss theme

[williamlux]

"If you aren't with America, Jack, you're against her!"

[pantuternik]

This honestly feels like the perfect theme for a political debate/court case, and the lyrics often do this kind of thing where they go: bap bap bap - BANG - bap bap bap - BANG - etc., like if one person spoke and then another one suddenly interrupts, repeating constantly... anyone get what I'm saying?

[dreamypizza]

1:16 to 1:28 probably my favourite bit but might be because i am remembering chopping off that leg and how much of a part of the fight that was

[bleachman]

Lyrics to karaoke on:
The Unenlighted masses
They cannot make a judgment call
Give up free will forever
Their voices won't be heard at all
Display obedience while never stepping out of line
And blindly swear allegiance
Let your country control your mind
𝙇𝙀𝙏 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝘾𝙊𝙐𝙉𝙏𝙍𝙔 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙇 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙎𝙊𝙐𝙇
Live in ignorance
And purchase your happiness
When blood and sweat is the real cost
Thinking ceases, the truth is lost
Don't you worry you'll be told exactly what to do
I give my people the lives they need
The righteous will succeed!
The fire of greed will burn the weak
So we'll make freedom obsolete
Making whole the fabric of society
Collective Consciousness controls as you will see
𝙇𝙀𝙏 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝘾𝙊𝙐𝙉𝙏𝙍𝙔 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙇 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙎𝙊𝙐𝙇 𝙓3
𝙇𝙀𝙏 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝘾𝙊𝙐𝙉𝙏𝙍𝙔 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙇 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙎𝙊𝙊𝙊𝙊𝙊𝙊𝙊𝙊𝙊𝙊𝙐𝙇

[HyperEthereal]

Ngl this gives off major vibes to godly machines named after gods fighting you while their creator watches...
