A remix of 'The Dark Colossus (Kaiju)' from the most wonderful NieR Automata OST.

I love this track, it is immensely powerful and encourages exactly the right mood for the battles in which it is used, just like all of Okabe's work.
I wanted a longer version of the track with some of the separate elements reshuffled and an intimidating organ lead-in. There's also a touch of the chorus from 'Mourning' mixed in as a bridge.

FYI, it gets loud after the intro.

Please Enjoy!

    I feel like the organ is a serverly underused instrument in modern music. It is a wonder to listen to no matter where it is and immediately steals the show in the best way

    All of NieR's music isn't just an OST It's an experience.

    This track well sums up Nier Automata. Beginning of Nier Automata: "Haha, I'm having a fun time fighting the machine lifeforms." Ending of Nier Automata: "What is my purpose in life..."

    I feel so bad for the Dark Colossus. It was being attacked just for existing. Yes, it was a danger to both Androids and machines, but it didn't know. It only fought back because it wanted to live.

    You did an outstanding job meshing the different layers together to make it sound like a legitimate song. Nice work.

    This is the version that should've come with the OST. So very beautiful with the intro. Thank you very much!

    Man I just love music that actually takes advantage of the lower octaves for their base sounds. The left side of the piano needs more love.

    "immensely powerful and encourages exactly the right mood for the battles" -- this is a humble understatement; this is simply epic and hands down an amazing remix.

    I've listened to many DCK remixes and want to say that so far yours is one of my most favorite.

    Its a shame some people forget NieR isn't just a r34 category, the games are awesome and the music goes hard
  • Amazing work!! Love the organ lead in. Definitely will put this on for the necromancer boss battle in the D&D scenario I'm working on :D Nier automata OST is so wonderful, we need more remixed versions like this that keep the spirit and just add some length to those epic songs. Thanks you!
  • At first sound like Code Vein, then the choir or Nier appears and then it reminds me to DMC. A very nice job indeed.
