Chaos Ahead PT. 2 | Space Marines' Assault - A Warhammer 40K Soundtrack

⚠️ Note: The main part of the track is intentionally cacophonous, representing the Warhammer 40K lore. It may not be for everyone, but it will be a treat for Warhammer 40K lore lovers :) 

Inspired by the Horus Heresy series, specifically the book "Fulgrim." This track tries to captures the musical journey of the Emperor's Children as they venture into the cave of the demon prince Slaanesh. A chaotic blend of musical themes and tones that build to an overwhelming cacophony crescendo. For those under the influence of Slaanesh, the music becomes an immersive symphony of desire and excess.

TIMESTAMPS:

Hey everyone, here is the piano only track based on Fulgrim life #warhammer40k. 
Orchestral version : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sbwgdzIWFo

Crafting different sections to represent the life and achievements of Fulgrim, along with the insidious rise of chaos, was a challenging task. I've tried my best to reflect the depth and complexity of the Warhammer 40K universe.

I sincerely hope that all Warhammer 40K lore enthusiasts will feel the passion and dedication behind it.

No Turning Back - The Tragedy of Fulgrim - (PIANO Only)

Hey everyone, Lester here! I’ve been obsessed with the Horus Heresy books for years, especially Fulgrim. The scene where Bequa Kynska debuts her epic composition “Maraviglia” always stuck with me - I really wanted to hear it come to life. 

I’ve spent the better part of a year bringing “Maraviglia” to life as an opera. 

It took over seven versions to feel satisfied. I’ve split it into two parts - this one aims to capture the wonder and intrigue of the pre-Chaos moment. 

To portray Coraline Aseneca’s performance, I worked with talented vocalist Clara Koszegi (https://clarakoszegi.hearnow.com/). Clara really brought the drama and emotion of the scene to the forefront. Translating such an iconic scene from page to music was massively challenging. 

I hope I’ve managed to transport you straight to the Fenice Theatre with the Emperor Children Legion. Let me know what you think! Stay tuned for Part 2, where things take a more ....chaotic turn.

LYRICS : 

Sotto l'ombra dell'Imperatore,
Tra le stelle brilliamo,
Tutti,
Si fermavano a guardarla e ora non è più
Non vedremo mai più.
Imperium nostro, di luce e di onore,
Ma nel trionfo, il pericolo ci tocca, l'orgoglio inganna.
Era una meraviglia
Meraviglia X2
Un lamento,
Poi un sorriso.

MARAVIGLIA PT.1 (Radio Edit - Instrumental version) | Bequa Kynska's Opera Tribute to Fulgrim's Decadence

I'm excited to share this special piano and string quintet arrangement of "Maraviglia" with you all. As many of you know, I've been captivated by the idea of bringing Bequa Kynska's legendary composition to life, for a while now. This version strips the piece back to its essence - just the piano and a string quintet (and some percussions).

While mixing the Opera version, hearing only certain groups of instruments really changed my perspective, and I found myself drawn to this unique, minimal version. These intimate arrangements allow the soul of the music to shine in unexpected ways.

I hope you all find as much quiet beauty in this piece as I did while creating it. Share your thoughts, and as always, praise be to the Emperor!

Stay tuned for Part 2, where things take a more ....chaotic turn.

MARAVIGLIA PT.1 | QUINTET CHAMBER DARK ACADEMIA WALTZ | Bequa Kynska's Tribute to Fulgrim Decadence

After more than 18 months of frustration, I am finally presenting to you "The Tragedy of Fulgrim." This track is not only the longest piece I've ever composed, stretching over 6 minutes, but also the most challenging.

Mixing and mastering were a hell due to the wide variety of dynamics/sections. I've created 12 distinct variations (or branches) of this track, including two versions already shared with you: "Learn Music Temple" and a piano-only rendition of this track. This version marks the third and final installment, concluding Fulgrim's saga. All the other branches were kinda trash somehow and will stay on my hard drive.

Crafting different sections to represent the life and achievements of Fulgrim, along with the insidious rise of chaos, was a challenging task. I've tried my best to reflect the depth and complexity of the Warhammer 40K universe.

I sincerely hope that all Warhammer 40K lore enthusiasts will feel the passion and dedication behind it.

Creating 'Maraviglia Pt. 2' was a unique journey - it took eight iterations to refine and countless challenges in achieving the exact blend of musical textures I envisioned. The mixing phase was particularly demanding, but I'm quite fond of the final crescendo; it perfectly captures the impending doom. I hope you can feel the fall of the Emperor's Children through this piece. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I'm also on Patreon now, so you can support my music and suggest which parts of the Horus Heresy books you'd like me to explore musically next.

CHAPTERS EXPLANATIONS :

00:00 Intro
00:07 Coraline Aseneca's voice starts changing, and the atmosphere begins to darken. The musicians seem to be seized by a frenzy and start using their instruments in a strange, unexpected way that changes the melody.
00:27 Everything turns black, and a warp rift starts to appear and open while thunderous music with a primitive rhythm continues.
00:41 Something tries to emerge from the rift, and the musicians begin to get agitated, as if something wants to come out of their bodies.
00:56 Aberrations start coming out of the rift to the rhythm of the impulses given by the music. The first musician dies screaming, and his voice resonates abnormally.
01:07 The abominations continue to emerge from the rift, and the other musicians get killed. We hear their torment.
01:25 Final vocal choir and summoning of demons fully done.
02:07 Desolation is here. Slaanesh has succeeded in introducing his minions, and the grand plan is underway. The fate of the legion is now at stake as everyone in the audience is spellbound and ready to follow the warp.
02:19 Time stops, everyone is frozen and watches the scene unfold in slow motion. Bequa is killed by Coralina, who has been transformed into a daemonette. The music has forever transformed the audience. The point of no return has been reached. Everyone applauds and will sink into darkness forever, killing each other. Astartes against human, Astartes against Astartes, and Fulgrim will watch them laughing.
03:04 Evil seeps into every cell of the audience, turning them into animals while the few sane people try in vain to flee the Phoenician theater.
03:21 The massacre begins. Depravity, bestiality, and the worst vices of humanity infect the audience, and they joyfully kill each other, feeling pure pleasure thanks to the sound of the visceral and vicious music.
03:43 The end of the Emperor's Children, forever affected, tainted by chaos, fallen sons of the Emperor.

Notes : I've made a deliberate choice to approach this piece musically, opting for imagination-stirring sounds over the darker, more explicit ambience directly from the book. I felt a direct portrayal would be too grim and not convey the right spirit of the music I aim to create. This decision, made quite late in the process, meant reshaping the latter half of the track to avoid a minute of grim sounds. I believe music has more to offer, and I hope this choice resonates with you.
