this track is included in Rocksona: The Instrumental Collection, Vol. 1, available for streaming and/or digital purchase (details in the description)!

FINALLY SOME YALDABAOTH FANART

What I love the most about "Our Beginning" is it includes melodies from "Yaldabaoth" then slowly becomes "Swear to My Bones" and then crescendos into something new, symbolizing that while Yaldabaoth may have granted the thieves their powers; they actualized on their own.

This song is the musical equivalent of Thermopylae

*1 hour in* Okay, I gotta stop this gym teacher from physically abusing his students! *100 hours in* WHY AM I FIGHTING A FREAKING GOD I WANT TO GO BACK TO FIGHTING EVIL STEPMOTHERS BUT NOOOOOOOOO I HAVE TO FIGHT THIS THING!

I mean i was level 60 when facing yaldy for the first time and thought he was gonna be difficult for me because i started with Golden and the Almighty was a difficulty at lvl 85 basically Yaldy although having more influence than the almighty is much easier to defeat for some reason

Preposterously good.

I just wanna say, this track has kept me coming back for years now. It captures the events of the battle so spectacularly, it’s honestly stunning to me. The very beginning is when the Thieves first go up against this threat, fighting against a God-like force for one last all-out bid on reforming society for the better. Then comes the lead up to the mosh section, with Yaldabaoth charging his Rays of Control, and the utter panic this gives to the Thieves. Then, the Demiurge unleashes it, nearly annihilating the Thieves as they scramble for any means of avoiding getting blasted away. Then, it picks up tempo again, the Thieves throwing literally everything they have at Yaldabaoth, it just barely being enough to survive. But, slowly but surely, everything begins to turn in their favor. Eventually, the public begins cheering them on, robbing away Yaldabaoth’s power and bestowing it upon the Thieves, who then place all their hopes in Joker. He summons Satanael, with Yaldabaoth trying to fight back in vain, all for it to lull into Our Beginnings with the battle’s climax. Holy shit, that was awesome.

I know I'm late but hot DAMN dude your covers go so hard, I love this one and "The Fog". "The Fog" has less of this problem but the boss themes tend to be a little too repetitive sometimes, so hearing these shreds adds so much more meat to the songs.

Adding this to my "Music to shoot God in the face to" playlist.

dadan dan You’re right.

The more and more you listen to yaldaboath, the more you can realize that the song is an instrumental take on the whole game. You start off going hard and having amazing luck, until around the last 70% of the game(when you beat Okumura) thats when you have to try desperately to clear your name to no avail(3:30). Then you beat Shido thinking that it would fix it, but it doesn't, so you go hard through Mementos killing every shadow in sight. Thats when you get to the depths and find the holy grail, you get defeated and find out Igor was fake, letting the real Igor come back. You then find your friends and fight your way up to fight the holy grail again who merged Mementos and the real world. You beat the grail and Yaldaboath and slowly and softly everything goes back to normal. Aka the last 57 seconds.

Well-made cover, I was nodding sympathetically until 3:30, then my jaw dropped. You have my like and sub good sir, excellent work.

@@lyzder7298 To me man, it's all about the build up to the climax. When the climax of Genesis comes in with the way its paced directly with how the boss fights structure is. On its own it's much slower paced, but with the boss it feels so satisfying. My problem with P5 is there is no build up, it's all climax the whole song. There's no progression to it.

I don't regretting subbing here in the slightest :D I subbed after hearing Blooming Villain, and being a big LoG fan, I knew I just had to wait patiently for more fantastic covers. Keep up the fantastic work! Especially the killer drums (; Feels like a bullet through the brain every time I hear them

This is one of the best remakes I've ever heard

Originally I found this through one of those auto-generated "Topic" channels on KZread but man, I _had_ to seek the original channel out after listening to this. This is hands-down one of the best video game song covers I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Love the heaviness of the "Yaldabaoth" portion, the sick solo that transitions into the beautiful "Swear to my Bones," and of course the triumphant, inspiring beauty of "Our Beginning" that rounds it all out. This gave me chills. Multiple times. Thank you very much for this amazing cover!

This is so fucking sick! The transitions completely elevate the track. Awesome job man!

this is seriously the best cover of this on youtube, amazing work!

This is pretty awesome!

Goddamn! I already heard this cover before and I thought "Wow this track is really underrated". But on top of that I really enjoyed that medley aura you've given to it, especially the end where "Our Beggining" hits (you gave it an amazing power and emotion). Too bad this track doesn't have lyrics on the OST. Amazing cover!!

Man. O'. Man. What a finale!! Wow..

that sweet sweet breakdown

Beginning sounded close to something from Infamous: Second Son.

Such a masterful cover

EPICNESS

Super genial

Holy shit this was better that I expected! Added to the playlist!

That intro was so doom like and I loved it

Fucking brilliant! I personally find this cover to surpass the original, I was, in all honesty a bit disappointed with the final boss theme, but fuck, this cover makes me question that entirely. Keep the covers coming man, I can't help, but love literally everything you put out.

What about a battle between a pair of fashionable criminals who're doing what's right for the world (Giorno Giovanna VS Joker) or, perhaps more interestingly, two groups of them (The Bucciarati Gang VS The Phantom Thieves of Hearts)? "STANDO!" "PERSONA!" Will the Bodyguard Team be able to take down their opposition or will the Phantom Thieves succeed against such a team of ruthless gangsters and their Stands with the power of their collective rebellious spirit? And another thing: Gold Experience Requiem VS Satanael! Will the Rebel King of Hell never see truth or will GER meet his match against the titanic demon lord at his rifle's barrel?

@@opusmagnus26 That is a good point but the reason I chose this fight was because it would be close if they only included arsene and satanael (who are attack magic users) which would be a good fight against meliodious because with the counters he could just reflect the magic attacks back. But when getting near the end they could do something like true counter (forgot the name) against the sinful shell of satanael (in my opinion, that would be a clash of ages). And after that it could cause some kind of explosion that is blocked like in the (SPOLIERS) final boss right of persona 5, while melodious (extremely injured) tries to get the dagger, Joker could just shoot the leg, arm or both to weaken them thus causing an all-out attack and before it ends satanael could use cosmic flare to finish him off while pulling the all-out attack pose. Bonus fact: Joker is able to survive an explosion in one of the boss fights of persona 5 that seems to be similar to at least planet level or if we high ball it (THE POWER OF THE BIG BANG).
