The slow-paced, bass-heavy segment in the soundtrack release originates from early experiments where the soundtrack adapted to the weapon in use, which was scrapped for interrupting tempo and combat intensity.
The clip is sourced from a later track, " Cerberus", which used to play in the earliest version of ULTRAKILL's intro. The title drop stinger samples a chord from an old, low-quality recording of "Mars, the Bringer of War" from Gustav Holst's Planets Suite. Parts of "Maw" were also used in the intro of " Threnody for a Mockingbird", by Heaven Pierce Her. The tutorial ambience is an unreleased 2016 dark ambient track called "Maw", by Hakita. Second section while approaching the Piercer Arena.įourth section plays through the rest of the level.Ġ-3: Fourth section plays throughout the mission.
It was then reused for the main menu as a placeholder in a later demo version, though it ended up fitting well enough that Hakita decided to keep it.Ġ-1: Different parts play in different sections. Originally used only for the intro, to contrast the chaos of the game with a slow, delicate start. Though the clip is the finale of its original album, it instead is the opener for ULTRAKILL's soundtrack. This song originates from the end of " The Fire Is Gone, and I Remember It Best: The Closing" by redherring, another musical alias of Hakita's. Released on Bandcamp and YouTube September 11, 2020. This album makes up the music of ULTRAKILL's prelude as well as most of the music in ULTRAKILL Act I. Act 3's soundtrack will presumably become available after it launches. The soundtrack for ACT I: INFINITE HYPERDEATH and ACT II: IMPERFECT HATRED are available now. The ULTRAKILL OST is divided into individual albums, typically coinciding with either the game's own acts or EPs of Prime Sanctum themes with secret level song or two. Frequently sampled by ULTRAKILL's songs is the Amen break, an insanely widespread drum sample that is frequently used in popular music. Many of the songs use MIDI tracks as a base, overlaying actual instruments to add depth, giving the game's soundtrack its classic yet modern feel. Much of the soundtrack is fast-paced metal or rock with breakbeat, mixed with some calm songs interspersed throughout.
The OST is available on Hakita's Bandcamp under the alias Heaven Pierce Her. A majority of ULTRAKILL's soundtrack was composed by Hakita himself, with the exception of Clair de Lune, Sourire d'Avril, BWV 639, Take Care, Beethoven's 7th Symphony part II, Tenebre Rosso Sangue, and The Cyber Grind.
