Based on the song name, tone, and the fact that Hakita usually puts a unique twist on the layers of Hell, here's my prediction. Violence is a quiet wasteland, covered in ruined fortifications, barbed wire, and ash (the world looks white). The battle is over. The war has already happened. This is just the ending.

Maybe, or maybe 7-1 is an attempt to hold the violence back, keep it down and the lower in the violence layer you get it becomes more bloody, more destructive.

Wow, just wow. For a game like ULTRAKILL I imagined Violence's music as this harsh cacophony of pandemonium, disorder and well, violence, almost like the Prelude in a sense. Never would I have expected this beautiful symphony of sorrow and dread. I heard somebody say that V1 is not ULTRAKILL's main character, and I feel Act 3 will have no trouble getting that through our heads. This song alone really puts into perspective how unfathomably tragic ULTRAKILL's world is. Mankind is dead, condemned to hell to suffer endless torture. Their tormentor, hell itself, is alive, and does what it does for entertainment alone. God, disgusted by what he has created, be it mankind, hell, or both, has vanished, leaving the Heavens in chaos. Act 3 will no doubt take a very dark turn. Hell will begin to show its true colors and the veil of being this unstoppable force capable of demolishing everything in its wake will finally be lifted. One word to describe how I'm feeling about Act 3 would be terrified. You've created a masterpiece Hakita. I can't wait to see what the conclusion to ULTRAKILL's story will be.

V1 is the protagonist, but make no mistake He's not the hero He's simply a monument to the sins of mankind, and what was once seemed like a quirky violent quest to slay the evil in hell has all but revealed its true colors V1's quest is not noble nor heroic, but it's not exactly evil or wrong At the end of the day, V1 is essentially just... a creature of steel, and when a creature is hungry... it hunts.... it kills. Same for every machine that descended into hell Perhaps there actually is more to V1 than we know about.. perhaps there's a reason beyond blood, but until then, All we know is that a robot apocalypse is destroying the last of all remaining life in the universe, the closest thing this story has to a hero, Gabriel the Angel, is mere hours away from death, and the primordial evil behind it all, seems to only want to enjoy the death and destruction, even if it means it's own demise.... There are many ways this story could end....... but not a single one that can avoid tragedy

Ultrakill is one of the most impressive art piece in form of a videogame I have ever seen, you can feel its heart beating in every level, in every music. Hakita I will always be impressed of what you are capable of. As a musician who tries to write music, i find your music to be enchanting, and i always will have it close to my heart as one of my most beloved influences. I could go for hours about how you take a simple theme/melody and turn it into a whole idea/topic, about how you basically created a palette of colors for our ears to enjoy. I think Ultrakill should not be viewed as just a fast-paced fps game, but as a symphony of memories, a twisted view of our deepest wonders, and as much as i love playing it, i still remember how it felt the first time I played. And I felt like I was cheating life, i know i go far here, but i was truly immersed into that world, i forgot to drink, eat and even blink. I fell in love with your work and I know it's not much from a guy at the other side of the world, but you filled my heart with motivation and you planted a little seed in my mind that still grows to this day, and i wonder how could I live without trying to create something that sparked a passion in others like your game did for me.

In Dante's Inferno, the layer of violence consists of all forms of brutality separated into their own sections- those against nature/art/god, those around you, and... yourself. Perhaps this is why The World Looks White sounds the way it does- feelings of utter hopelessness and resignation. Those looking for an escape from unfathomably dire situations were only met with damnation. Then there's The World Looks Red... Maybe this is some twisted kind of "hope" that the husks feel upon seeing V1- as a means of relief from the punishment they're destined to receive. I expect that enemies- particularly husks- could be practically throwing themselves at you, as they only hope to die in the process. At least that's what I deduce from the preview. With Violence having multiple sections, however, I don't think this will be *all* there is of this layer. Can't wait to hear the complete version ingame!

@laggingjaeger1148

The World Looks White/Red might very well be an interpretation of worldviews, White symbolises purity, and in this case, the absence of something, most likely hope. It is truly saddening, but when a shift takes place towards the "Red" we are only left to feel dread as it symbolises passion, a passion for blood, death, a macabre form of hope shown by the husks as they want to escape the White torment of Hell.

I can EASILY say ultrakill is the best game i've played, genuienly. At first, the game didn't seem that cool and pretty eh, saw Markiplier gameplay but decided to skip it after like five minutes. I kept ignoring and pretty much being uninterested in ultrakill, until one day i decided to watch P-2 and HOOOLY it went HARD. I started watching all the levels in gameplays, they looked incredibly awesome. BUT, after buying the game and experiencing it, i fucking loved it more, the game felt genuienly exciting and fun, literally even the p ranks, one of the games i like a lot too is Pizza Tower, but the p ranks were frustrating and did not like them, in ultrakill the p ranks felt extremely fun and satisfactory, even levels like P-2 it's just too fun, and the cybergrind MAN, the first time i played it, i genuienly felt like i was dreaming. Hearing The World Looks Red, makes me think, no, REALIZE this game is an actual masterpiece, a single piece can make me feel emotional in a way i didn't think it was possible, and the depth of the music, the gameplay, the lore, EVERYTHING is so good, i genuienly think ACT 3 is going to be a masterpiece, sadly this game isn't really recognized, i'd say ULTRAKILL reaches levels of most beloved nintendo games, sony games, etc. BUT, i feel like it's way superior than everything i've seen, it's such a perfect game for me and i hope somenoe else feels about this masterpiece of a game.

Can't wait to see what Hakita interprets the 7th layer as!

That’s not the _only_ thing it has It also has a river of blood If I were a betting man, I’d say it’s gonna be long, long, long dry by the time we see it Perhaps a dying city of machines at the end of the cracked and crackling riverbed. Its ruler, one who held goals not dissimilar to V1’s, whose plans, although perfectly laid, fell woefully short against the unstoppable march of time. A metropolis of steel reduced to a necropolis of rust, damned to cannibalize itself. V1’s journey was not the first, and it, like the one before, is similarly doomed from the very start. It is only here we shall receive confirmation. Or maybe I’ve gotten lost in my own head. Probably that. But speculation is very fun.

The World Looks White is like the introspection that comes with the weight of coming to terms with commiting Violence, especially since, as opposed to most of the other layers that dealt with losing control of yourself, the guilt that comes with deliberate infliction of harm and corruption beats the guilt of incontinence any day of the week.

I feel like ever since the prelude the music in ULTRAKILL has taken a more tragic twist. In the beginning you had upbeat, loud, almost heroic melodies, transitioning into the sheer insanity of limbo, the sombre yet powerful motif of lust, the unnerving yet still familiarly energetic tracks in gluttony, and then there’s greed, while still upbeat and energetic, there’s a more “serious” tone to it, hell is realizing what is happening to it, it’s realizing that V1 is an unstoppable force, and that it must throw everything it has at it. In Wrath, there’s a more mellow theme for most of the levels, with the exception being the sheer awe of death odyssey, and the layer of heresy portrays tragedy, futile struggle, and hell’s attempts to push V1 back or at the very least slow it down. This track seems to portray hell’s final stance against V1, it knows it’s in a war, and it’s losing. This is the last chance the denizens of hell have to save themselves from utter demise. But, as we all know, they can not stop V1. Nothing can. They are not man, nor an angel, nor a prime soul. They are machine.

If Hakita has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Hakita has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Hakita has only one fan then that is me. If Hakita has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Hakita, then I am against the world.

In a world where darkness casts its spell, Where shadows gather, where hope is quelled, Two colors emerge, stark and profound, The world looks white, the world looks red, a somber ground. The world looks white, a frigid abyss, Frozen landscapes whispering loneliness. Blanketed in ice, the echoes of despair, A chilling reminder of dreams ensnared. Beneath the facade of this wintry domain, Lies isolation, hearts numb with pain. White, the absence of life's vibrant hue, A desolate canvas, where dreams bid adieu. The world looks red, a torrent of strife, A tapestry woven with threads of life. Scarlet rivers flowing, staining the land, A testament to battles fought, hand in hand. Red speaks of anguish, of wounds unhealed, Of sacrifices made, of truths concealed. A crimson symphony of violence and dread, A haunting reminder of blood that's been shed. Within this dichotomy, shadows dance, A world trapped in a relentless trance. White and red, the colors collide, A reflection of humanity's divided stride. In this tapestry of sorrow and pain, Where white and red bleed and intertwine, We grapple with darkness, we bear its weight, In a world that's lost, consumed by its fate.

Gabriel probably had eyes before, hence the holes in the helmet, then he was assigned as a judge of hell, losing the eyes, leaving the holes useless. Oh and the face here has eyes opened and you can clearly see it doesn't have the eyeballs themselves TL,DR of the edit : guy said things in hell lose eyes i say that the face has eyes, but no eyeballs, basically no eyes Oh and also i agree with the other guy saying that it looks like a new demon, as it really fits the designs of the levi and the H-Mass

I've been doing some light reading and found out that The Wood of the Self-Murderers is the first part of Violence in Dante's inferno The sorrowful music fits the atmosphere. Somehow I initially missed that the image seems to suggest the same: blood running from the neck, as if it were cut... or hanging from a noose after too long.

I think this song is meant to illustrate the "purity" one may find in violence. The (ironic) tranquility in the heart of an entity that lives for the fight itself. It's a notion that machines like V1 as well as Hell (the lifeform itself) understand the best as core values. Also the duality between white and red is supposed to be like the relationship between a blank canvas covering all of creation and an artist that just aches to paint it RED, for that is its one purpose.

CHALLENGE: DO NOT FIGHT ANY ENEMIES

I feel like Volence will be exactly where the layers of hell begin to turn scarier and scarier to witness, even through the filtering of a machine's camera. Frightening palace... Ruthless clash of metal, flesh, rock and the remnants of the once divine... These are the layers not lifted off their punishments, nor the layers punishing for self-affecting sins, but the layers which sustained their roles, as their governors remained at keeping killers and fraudsters who they punish for all eternity be given no second chance alike. V1 enters Violence layer. Sinners stuck to the trees. grown into them. Vividly feeling their agonizing pain as endlessly-furious aerial creatures mercilessly tear their flesh again and again, only for the blood spilt to be absorbed back in, prolonging the torture. How many cycles of this have passed? None knows answer. None would be able to answer. None would be able to speak. They forgot how to speak, their consciousness being condemned to feeling two things: pain, and the brief abscence of pain which only causes immense fear of being inflicted with pain for another time. Crushing the mind like a rotten apple. Another time, that has no known number. V1 seeks slaughter, and it will get it. Not even the highest of angels was able to stop it, now losing twice to an object. Does V1 truly commit evil by making genocide of the layers of hell, purging the consciousness of each individual from existence? Or does it bring them salvation, putting an end to their tortures, sinners big and small alike? After all, the end of the tunnel is near. The machine is getting rusty. It is also destined to die its own way. Once the last living being inside of hell perishes, V1 will have its job done, left to eventually lose it's own programmed consciousness, slowly lying down on the floor, encasing the spent cold blood in it's plastic veins. It will have fulfilled... *The will of God.*

Violence is possibly the layer I am the most excited for, so consider me PUMPED for this one

For those who don't know, in Dante's Inferno the seventh circle of Hell is Violence, which is guarded by the Minotaur of Crete and houses those who committed violence against their neighbors, violence against the self, and violence against God and art. In the story it takes the shape of three rings. In the first, murderers and tyrants are dipped into the burning river of blood Phlegethon, since they spilled blood during their lifetimes, so shall they be immersed in the afterlife. In the second, the souls of those who committed suicide are petrified and turned into malformed trees of a horrific, gastly forest. Since they refused to live, so too shall they be remain fixed and immobile in death. The third ring is a great desert of burning sand (sounds a lot like Ultrakill's interpretation of Greed), where flakes of flame fall from the sky like snow. Blasphemers and usurers (i.e. loansharks) are punished here; Since their sins were unnatural and sterile, so too shall the land they live in bear no life.

The calm music gives a feeling of hang over. Like after a drug.

Why is it so silent? What are these mannequins? What happened to them? And the moment the battle theme starts, it's almost as if yhe mannequins start telling you their stories. They don't wanna be there, don't wanna be a part of it, they are suffering, it's not their fault. Yet they remain.

totally! imagining these songs behind gameplay is perfect for me

the concept art (?) shown in this is really interesting. I noticed, in the Inferno, there's a part of Violence layer (violence and fraud and treachery are divided up and have their own segments to them, i guess due to the sheer weight of the sins they represent) where specifically those who have taken their own lives are placed. The art reminded me of this because of the bleeding from the neck. This is probably a bit of a grizzly observation to just say, but judging from where the blood is coming from, it looks like the direction a rope would go if you hung yourself. And that thing's probably going to be an enemy... so it'll be fun to know I'm fighting that haha oh my god (im imagining it as a freaky lanky upgrade to the filth but idk)

I might be mistaking this for something else, so sorry if I'm wrong. But if I remember correctly, the violence layer of hell reincarnated those who committed suicide into inanimate, but sentient trees as punishment for their selfishness. Harpies would pick off the fruit, causing them immense pain. Your theory sounds relatively correct to me. The blood around the neck is almost perfectly placed, and there would be enough people who have hung themselves to serve as enemies...

An incredibly unexpected direction for the VIOLENCE layer's music and aesthetic, and a welcome one at that. Always super impressed by your creativity. Looking forward to seeing more of Act 3!

I think the battle in Violence has already happened; we're just seeing the aftermath. The white ash all over the place. The spilled, red blood on the soil. The ruins of the middle City of Dis (remember, it stretches from heresy to treachery in the divine comedy)

@@Mushroom38294 I'm actually not going to assume it's got white ash or anything, I could honestly see it starting in the forest from the Gabriel cutscene at the end of act 2.

I'm waiting to see what Hakita does, since he's constantly subverting my expectations.

With these new WIP tracks, my guess for Violence is that it's going to be a very similar vibe to Lust and Wrath, where any sense of being lived in is long gone. Everyone is drained of energy and filled with regret over the needless pain inflicted upon one another, leaving only the suffering that comes as an aftermath of brutality. That is, of course, until a funny little GoPro paints the town red ;) Also, 4:55, ORDER version of the Requiem motif anyone?

Wrath is working as intended and never was any different from how it was described in Inferno by Dante. The water formed of sinners on the surface is still going at it with eachother so hard it damages v1, while the depths of it is calm as sinners too wrathful to even act drown until they calm down.

makes sense why its so peaceful sounding, as violent people being sent to violence would despise simply being there and at rest. there's nothing but bleak walls like the videos, it'd be torture for them. almost looks like an insane asylum in some rooms

People are saying that this theme being so melancholic means ULTRAKILL won't end happily, but what even constitutes a 'happy ending' in this universe? Mankind is dead, the citizens of hell are being slowly exterminated by a robot made by their own living and breathing past lives, the idolised and loyal servant of the church has started killing and maiming it's own denizens by means of revolution and the very nature of hell itself seems to be alive, breathing and malevolent. Happy ending? What would a happy ending even be?
