#HollowKnight #GodsAndNightmares was the unexpectedly delightful new #soundtrack from #Christopher Larkin. #NightmareKing was made for the inarguably challenging Nightmare King Grimm fight.

It's incredible how Christopher Larkin uses leitmotifs. "Nightmare King" and "Grimm Troupe" use the same core melody as the one played by Brumm on his accordion inside the tent.

Note to self
In silkson, if the boss name takes the whole screen, run, you are not ready, and never will

[herothecrow]

Ooh, the choir bit at 1:35 was done really well

Ngl Ive played quite a few themes on piano such as Hornet's theme, Dirthmouth, Queens Gardens, Resting Grounds, Main Theme and even White Palace. Never would have thought this version of Knightmare King Grimm would sound as amazing as it does here! Havent been able to find a single better version of this anywhere so thank you! :). Also recently started playing Hollow Knight again with a custom whale skin. Can't wait! Solid stuff Andrew! You inspire me to keep playing more piano everyday. Never say you wish you could or you cant. If you really want to try something and are dedicated and commmited then make the attempt to practise everyday. Reach out and have others listen and provide their own feedback that way you can improve. Playing by ear or even with sheet music isnt something everyone learns how to do right away but if you don't try or at least make an attempt you won't get anywhere near the level of the pros.

pianists dream of endless fire,
sheet music burns and embers swoop,
burn the father, teach the child,
Call and serve the Dread piano master’s troupe.

[KingNios]

YES!! I was hoping you'd do this one after the Grimm troupe!

[landonadams]

Huh, there’s a full version of this song? I usually only hear the first thirty seconds.

[Moss_Dude]

Light the path with a fleeting spark,
Through our dance we shall honor him,
Feed the child of the beating heart,
Sing the praise of the master Grimm!

I was so happy when I saw this in my recommended. A few months ago I was trying to find a good and intense piano cover for this song, but had no luck. This is amazing. Thank you so much.

[StellarAeon]

Oh. My. God. I've always wanted to learn how to play piano, and this video alone is all the motivation I needed, the way you played this song gives such a great piano vibe while maintaining the original feeling of a boss battle, I can't put into words how incredible your Sealed Vessel, Grimm troupe and Nightmare King Grimm sound, you did an absolutely incredible job on these!

BEST SONG FROM HOLLOW KNIGHT FINALLY WITH A PLAYABLE PIANO

[moondreemurr]

The fact that this song plays so much impact and power is incredible! Especially with it slightly echoing!

[AdamNickel-cs]

This is hands down the most impressive thing I’ve seen in a while.

[ChaosBatkick]

Ah, Hollow Knight Soundtracl has enticed you as well.
Fantastic job, the range of sounds your one virtual keyboard can produce is stunning

[cutestcreeper]

Although I don't play piano and currently don't plan on playing, I still sometimes watch these videos and listen to the piano versions of songs I like. This is a great recreation.

[malaert]

Just as I predicted. Fantastic stuff - thanks for doing my favourite Hollow Knight boss justice with this one! 💜

[julesstigers]

OMG!! My favorite theme, my favorite character, my favorite boss fight!! I'm so excited to learn another version of this song on piano 🎹

[tvflight]

I love this Hollow Knight series! I try to play some of the songs myself but I can't finish because when the new one comes out I'm like: I WANNA PLAY THIS! Thank you

[BlazingJ]

I saw this and immediately felt serotonin. Thank you SO MUCH. THIS IS AMAZING

[guilhermeartmann]

The amount of perfectly executed notes from 1:15 to 1:20, WOW. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
