Dark Imperium - Original Song

Purchase here:

A song about our big blue boy, ranting his heart out about the current state of the imperium after waking up from his eons long nap! The song takes place during the time he visited his father in the golden throne and is pretty much a conversation between the two.

Special thanks to Ethan Song for writing the lyrics for this song!

This turned out super dope!! Really great job dude :D

Ten thousand years of endless nightmares could not have prepared Guilliman for the waking horror that awaited him.

[kaiserzaiser]

"Why do I still live? What more do you want from me? I gave everything I had to you, to them. Look what they have made of our dream. This bloated, rotten carcass of an empire is driven not by reason and hope, but by fear, hate and ignorance. Better that we had all burned in the fire of Horus' ambition than lived to see this."
– Roboute Guilliman

[terminallove]

I love how Guilliman went from sadness and despair, to anger and outrage, and finally to stalwart determination.

[blindeye]

When Guilliman "died" it was kinda sad he thought of his brothers Russ and Kan and watched his sons sacrifice them selves to get him out. And his last thought was "father save me" I love the ultramarines no matter how much the get memed on.

[comm___]

This song feels like Guilliman speaking to the emperor, who now can’t really sugarcoat everything due to him giving his humanity away, so it’s just a cruel exchange of words between a dying father and a heartbroken and tired son

[rigulur]

imagine waking up several centuries from now and learning every hope and dream you've ever had in the far future has not only been shattered, but replaced by a nightmarish parody of all you stood for. all your loved ones are either long dead or have disappeared from the annals of history, and you will never have the opportunity to embark on a mission to discover their fates because the moment you leave your place of slumber, some trillions of souls are at your feet begging you for your guidance and leadership; the same people, as far as you can see, who are partially responsible for things being as awful as they are. this is Guilliman's fate.


he may not like the disparate peoples of the Imperium, or even be capable of truly appreciating them, but they did not resign to despair when he took his looong grandpa nap. they kept going, picking up the fewer and fewer pieces of their once whole and glorious Imperium, and if a bunch of normies can go on after all the 40K-type suffering they've endured, then so can Guilliman

[lukmasterjr]

Guilliman read the Lectitio Divinitatus and was so angry at the bad prose, rhymes and psalms that he decided to turn to rap to show Lorgar how to do it better.

[Interfector]

Love how Guilliman goes from uncertain and somber, to outraged and disgusted, to horrified and despairing, before finally pulling himself back together to take on a seemingly impossible task with *D E T E R M I N A T I O N* no one short of another Primarch could match.

[warantew]

I love how you follow big G:s thoughts in this song, Going from his revulsion at the imperiums state > his rage directed at his father > desperate pleading for answers and justification > his will steeled to guide the imperium

[astronomybrainiac]

"Show me any insight, justify our fate,
Tell me that our lives have not been lived in vain.
I command attention, I demand that you explain!
I'm begging you, make sense of what has been ordained!"

I don't think I can imagine a more haunting and desperate plea for answers. It actually made me feel sorry for Guilliman, and that is no easy feat. Well done!

Stringstorm: People liked Atrocity so I’m going to make a song like it.
Stringstorm like a day later: *releases another awesome song*

[silentblade]

The weight of the galaxy can crush any man. Even a Primarch

[thetribunaloftheimaginatio]

I love Big Bobby G precisely because he relatively quickly went from "...WHAT DID YOU NUMBSKULLS DO TO MY FATHER'S IMPERIUM!?" to "Alright, enough tender-footin' around. Time to clean house and put boot to Chaos ass."

[Chibiruda]

From the primarch naieve enough to believe one day he could put down the sword for the pen, see his own sons become leaders and governors to steer humanity rightly. To a resolute but agrieved soul that must do the reverse. Take up the sword and scrape back the pieces together again. Ave Guiliman, Avenging Son Of Mankind! The stars themselves are our birthright!

[nestorgamer]

Guilliman just launched the biggest "IT IS WHAT IT IS" and kept fighting

[endworldkrawky]

If TTS ever adds GrandPa Smurf, i want this playing in its background while he smack talks the Emperor.

[sreckocuvalo]

Papa is here to chew bubblegum, fix Imperium and shag the Eldar harlots. And Blood Ravens took all bubblegums.

[zoushaomenohu]

Guilliman has faced the scariest truth for all the Primarchs: They can be more than the Emperor's tools, or the Dark Gods' puppets, and can make their own choices and destiny!

Adeptus Notificatorium did the great job
