Warhammer 40,000: Darktide - Full Official Soundtrack

Jesper Kyd is a genius

1:50:19 This is what you're looking for fellow guardsman

This ost captures the 40k aesthetic better than anything I've ever heard before. Mechanicus was good at portraying the vibe of Tech Priests specifically, but this ost nails the setting in general. So many 40k games use music that is completely interchangeable with a fantasy setting. You could put the OST of Space Marine, or most of the dawn of war games, over a game about knights, dwarves and elves, and orcs fighting with swords- and it would be just as fitting. But despite the fact that knights, elves, dwarves and Orks actually exist in warhammer 40k, and they often do fight each other with swords, it's a science fiction setting. Not only that, it's a gothic retro sci-fi setting, invented in the 80s. The electronic element of this ost mixed with intentionally dated synth sounds, creepy strings, and the usual gothic choir elements are incredible. I'm playing the beta right now, and as I was running for my escape ship after a successful mission- the track "escape initiated" started playing, with that warped VHS tape sounding synth playing as I was blasting mutants and running for my life. It felt so RIGHT.

16:33 that bit in Immortal Imperium, holy shit, gives me so much goosebumps and the pipe organs elevate it to some whole new levels and vibes The terror of the situation, the grim nature of it all, the desperation And the iron will to persist

My god this OST is incredible, It deserves to win all of the awards.

Disposal Unit (Imperium Mix)

I think we all agree that vermintide/darktide are like doom in the sense that the music is one of the key components in getting your blood pumping while playing, major respect to the composer

1:50:59 is the perfect 40k boss theme. That could play over a clash between Primarchs and it would fit perfectly

Disposal Unit (both versions) is SO FUCKING CATCHY. I fell in love with that track the moment I heard it in the first beta. The brutal beat, the hype choir, the synths. Jesper Kyd is a LEGEND.

Jesper Kyd needs to win some kind of award for this. It's the best soundtrack I've heard for a video game in ages.

21:23that droning noise as you walk into the mission always gives me chills

1:29 beautiful how it conveys the unknown and horrible as well as something imminent and dark as well as something epically catastrophic haha

Beyond incredible. This is what 40K sounds like, and this soundtrack will sit along with Mechanicus' as the best this universe can offer.

I will call this music genre as: IMPERIUM WAVE

56:24 "Path of Trust" is becoming my new favorite ost.

1:43:08 A soundtrack truly deserving of His name! The Emperor Protects!

1:19:07 YES! This is what I have been looking forward to ever since the Marksman trailer! Imperial Advance for all the Veterans here!

50:20 I remember listening to this in the pre-alpha and being blown away. This soundtrack is easily going up there with Mechanicus and DoW1.

1:19:07 IMPERIAL ADVANCE 1:43:08 THE EMPORER OF MANKIND are just the perfect duo
