We need to have this. We could be *Darth Sion* from ToR days!

So this song was something I wanted to make myself but it was also an opportunity to do something for the minority of fans for whom Fires Fade wasn't to their tastes. While that song is a bombastic, complex behemoth dealing with the overarching themes of the series, this one (while a somewhat similar musical genre), is structurally and thematically its opposite - simple, subtle, direct and focused on the emotional journey of the player/protagonists through the series. It was also an opportunity to do something in the style of some great bands like Type O Negative, Paradise Lost & Ghost. I've always been attracted to music with heavy, hard instrumentation juxtaposed with softer, melodic vocals. I hope you guys enjoy it. It really was a pleasure to make these two songs - Dark Souls is an incredibly inspiring series for me and I'm glad so many of you feel the same. Big love - Gav

I am so happy you made this, cause Fires Fade (while a great song) wasn't to my tastes entirely, as you put it. I'm a huge fan of Fires Far, and I feel that this is a true and proper follow up to that piece since they are structured so similarly; they're both about the journey you take as a player rather than the world that the characters inhabit, and the style reflects that greatly. Fantastic work as always, here's hoping that the DLCs bring some more inspiration from this game!

Forever Flame: To Link the First Flame Fires Fade: An End to Fire Now we just need a Usurpation of Fire song and we'll have all three endings covered.

Fires Fade was this great ode to a story of despair, of the fire dying down, tying down the stories of those that gave their spirits keeping it aflame. An epic about the overarching story... this one definitely felt like the personal tale of each and every one of those heroes, like moths drawn to the embers of the bonfires, dying over and over again with only their determination and willpower allowing them to push onward... God dammit, Gav, pumping all of these majestic songs is way too much for my heart!! Can´t love them so much, can I? :D

Aside from hiring on tons of backup artists until they had a crew that made the sound they were going for, those two perfectionists had the goal (one they achieved) of recording so all instruments were distinctly audible and discernible throughout their songs. If you don't mind bluesy music and want to test me on this, go find a copy of Aja and hear for yourself.

This captures the journey through these dark lands so perfectly. The sorrow the horror and the pride every one of us feels as we try to rekindle the ancient flames. In your honour I praise the sun.

This one feels like a cross between gothic rock and celtic music. I fucking loved it. Very beautiful.

I love Fires Fade and I think it's one of your best songs ever, right up there with The Lucky Ones and Don't say a word. But, man, this is just unbelievable. The power, the concentrated rhythm, so in contrast with the sprawling tones of Fires Far, just sends chills down my spine and really drives home the force of what was portrayed here. This song is rather like the Ashen One, and all Dark Souls protagonists really. An unstoppable force that blasts on and on until the very end. Thank you Gav.

I always love when you do sister songs. Fires Fade/Forever Flame have just taken a spot in my top 5 along with Kickback/Hammers in my Head.

Parker Dixon-Word I personally love how fitting the lines in the one for Dark Souls 2 “Fires Far” are. “Breathe life into this hollowed vessel of rebirth. Over and over be denied the peaceful earth, to light the fires far.”

loving the goth rock vibe here o: makes me think of some crazy mix of HIM, Type O Neg and a lil bit Sisters of Mercy. (plus a 2nd DS3 track is always nice haha)

In Dark Souls 1 we learned the inevitability of the cycle, and it filled us with dread In Dark Souls 2 we are given the chance to break free of the cycle and leave this doomed world behind. It gave us hope. In Dark Souls 3,we come to the end of an age. After countless cycles and untold aeons have past, we arise from the ashes of innumerable kingdoms. To break the cycle, as the final die are cast. we fall down to our knees and embrace the earth at last. Finally we are at peace

Oh... my... goodness... this bass design!! :O This song is crazy man! xD Keep it up!

Two Dark Souls 3 songs? I feel positively spoiled.

I have to admit, I initially wasn't too fond of this one when I listened to it on release; however, now that I am listening to it again almost a year later, I find that I can appreciate it much more readily.

I have never played a Dark Souls game, but I absolutely LOVE this. You add so much passion to your music. I love it

This is so awesome dude.. You got so much talent keep it up, I wish you the best for your carreer! ;)

This has a very beautiful Doom Metal kind of sound.. A beautiful Gothic style... I just love it, and it fits so well with the game. I feel so generic not being able to give any better response, but it's just amazing, really.

Amazing. I feel like this really complements Fires Fade as a way to finish off the series.

No joke, you're my favorite artist right now, and you've gotten me into a lot more into music. Thanks!

Nice condensed look at the whole concept of a Dark Souls main character. You managed to infuse meaning and purpose to a character without any lines or background, and it reflects the spirit of the series as well, to glean meaning from thing we are not given much context or information about at all.

why can't I stop looping this?? 5 stars, Dunne. Seriously.

This tune fits most of the undead that fought for the flame across all the souls games and the many timelines in which the undead curse plagues the world. I love it.

Nothing is more terrifying that an enemy that will not stay dead, and worse, is guaranteed to get stronger every time you kill it. Of all the terrible and dangerous things in dark souls, you the player are by far the most daunting. Heck, imagine being the bosses, you keep killing this guy but each time you take a little more damage, and it just keeps coming and coming. that has to be nerve wracking.

God damn, this is incredible. I've been following you for years, and Gav, you never disappoint. It seems almost like each new song of yours is my new favorite. Keep going man, you blow me away.

Wow two songs for the price of one! I get the same feeling from this as your early work here on youtube, simple and strong. I like both your bombastic and your simple styles so great job Gav! Hope to see the next one soon 😋

You hit the song and dark souls on the head, wicked cinematography. Love this track, to the flame burns out!

Holy shit man, yeah it's more straight forward, but it really hits home ... Been singing along a lot tonight, adding some guttural "harmonics" to the post-solo chorus, giving it a Ghost Brigade - kinda vibe and tricking me into feeling cool haha! I think the mix profits a lot from the more-present-than-usual drums. Kick, bass and guitar chugs compliment each other really well and cause significant amounts of headbanging! Also, I could swear that you mastered this one differently - the low end seems much fuller (less high-passed? or maybe it's that dark piano adding a lot of lows?), especially in comparison to Fires Fade, and you managed to squeeze much more volume out of this one (I'll leave the loudness war discussion to more competent folks, IMO it feels well-rounded). tldr: sonically a LEAP forwad, and very strong feeling-wise!!

It seemed to give the whole mix a nice soft, round, thumpy feel. I was actually worried the kick was too clicky around 4-5k but in hindsight I like it, it helps move the chugs along like you said

Their kick and bass both have a very distinct character in that range and compliment each other really well, which makes them appear almost as one instrument. Super cool. And I think you managed to create a similar feel in this mix - kick, bass and chugs just gel really really well in that range! Again, huge props for that mix!

This song is amazing. Well done Gav !

Thanks for another great one Gav!

A really good song. You have some great ideas. Liked "Fires Fade" too. Keep it up :3

But there a different endings to Dark Souls 3. More songs. ;D

Fantastic work, love your music and will always be a fan!

And with this song, I've subscribed to you. First song i've heard from you and I love it. Awesome job.

Now I think I l have myself a little DS3, only thing to do really, after listening to such a song ;)

Sounds like onion bro!

Песни по тёмным душам как из пулемёта! Вдохновляющая тема, похоже.

This was a rather enjoyable song, thank you MiracleofSound.

This chanel is by far my gratest randomly discoverd chanel on youtube. Absolutely flawless.

Both this and "Fires Fade" were EPIC. No other words can describe them, and I've already downloaded both into my cellphone, as with most of your songs. "Fires Fade" is all about the struggle of the Keepers of the Flame, wanting to keep the fire alive, while "Forever Flame" is basically a tribute to the Unkindled/the player and their determination to keep on fighting. Personally, I would love a third song with emphasis on the "Age of Dark" perspective. Lots of people talk about it in the games and others wonder if it wouldn't just be better to let the fire fades for good. I would love it to be something that would also be gothic rock, but far more sinister and ominous, as if mocking and taunting those who desperately seek to keep a dying flame alive in face of the inevitable dominion of darkness, hailing the rise of the Dark Lord. Either way, Miracle of Sound is eternally awesome! :)

You know, that sounds amazing. People just see the darkness as evil though, however it isn't. The Abyss is evil, which has ties to darkness and the want to not light the flame. However darkness itself in this universe is not evil, people who believe in it just have a different mindset, one with less folly I believe.

I know he won't do it, but I'd love to hear that if he did.

Your Dark Souls and Witcher series songs have been among my favorites. I'm a little surprised to find there was anything less than a positive response to Fires Fade. I found the whole thing beyond impressive; it took what you established in Fires Far and grew upon it beautifully. That said-- MORE Dark Souls songs are hardly a bad thing. ;) I love this one too; a really nice stylistic homage to Type O Negative. Lastly; just want to say I've been listening to your stuff for a few years now, and I think your vocal performance has grown tremendously over time. It's impressive and inspiring in equal measure!

Really enjoyed this one, keep it up man!

Simply amazing. Thank you Gav for the unique music experience!
