Music Producer SHOCKED by Left 4 Dead Soundtrack

L4D has such an amazing soundtrack that you wouldn't expect from a zombie first person shooter, you really get the sense of sadness and despair of a world that is pretty much already over with 4 "carriers" just trying to survive.

⚠️ Here they come

0:22 - The main menu theme. 3:53 - Plays when the Tank (boss enemy that randomly spawns) starts chasing you. 6:40 - Plays when a Tank spawns in the final run to the rescue vehicle. 9:20 - Plays when at least one survivor makes it to the rescue vehicle and the credits (game stats) roll. 14:16 - Plays when at least one survivor makes it to the saferoom (the transition between chapters in a campaign). In game, these soundtracks don't transition abruptly like in the video. 15:41 - Plays when the Witch (another boss enemy that randomly spawns) spawns but is currently just crying in place, minding her own business. 16:16 - Plays when she chases a survivor that startles her by getting too close, shining the flashlight on her or hurting her. 17:57 - Plays when the witch is on fire, she will chase the survivor that set her on fire regardless of who startled her.

The Witch has 3 parts to her theme; The Approach 15:41 For when you're approaching the Witch and she hasn't been startled yet. The Attack 16:16 (2nd Part) The Witch has been startled and is now angry and wants, whoever startled her, Dead! Burning of the Witch 17:57 (Final Part) She's now on fire, screaming in agony but still angry, and wants whoever burned her, Dead!

Genre: Horror Survival Community: WHO IS COOKING TONIGHT

Left 4 dead 1 music: Fear and Uncertainty Left 4 Dead 2 music: YEAH ROCK ON!!!

I'm still blown away by the Witch's theme. Everything about it just screams "danger", like they tried to evoke the feeling of walking by a bush and hearing a rattlesnake's rattle... all without ever actually using the sound of a rattle. Really impressive.

I remember getting left 4 dead for Christmas 2008 while I was staying with my mom in the hospital going through cancer and I was able to bring my Xbox 360 and play with her while i was staying and I shall hold that memory forever! Super special soundtrack and game to me ❤️

8:24 I love how he casually whips up a tank theme, that perfectly synergizes with swamp fever's campaign theme.

You nailed it on the monsters within saying that it “Hinted a bit of hope but it’s buried under uncertainty” That song plays at the end of each campaign in the first game, but each campaign are all just parts of the same journey of the survivors, so you have your victory, but there’s still a long road ahead

Is no one going to mention this man’s breakdown? His depiction,skill,attention of small details,passion and expression. Good job man first time seeing you on YouTube. Great video man love left for dead.❤ New sub

9:40 The reason the track becomes "electro rock" as you described is because this particular music plays when you reach an ending safe house and statistics flash up on screen. The "digital" twist to the music is designed to engage the analytical part of your brain in order to make you pay attention to the mathematical feedback the game is giving you so you know what you did well or what you struggled with, allowing you to take this information into account as you play the next round. The same thing happens at 14:16.

as a left 4 dead veteran player, i can’t wait for PART 2 man. keep up the good work❤

4:56 It's very fitting for the game itself because The "Tank" is a very extreme example of how severely the Green Flu can mutate a person, so much so that the result is a Hulk Zombie resembling a mixture of a Man and a Silverback Gorilla. The doom and gloom vibe highlights how severe the infection is and the extremities of it's mutations. The way he is revealed in the intro of the first game is a good example.

As someone who has played Left 4 Dead since I was about 10 years old in 2008, this is absolutely incredible. Unlike other react channels you clearly know what you're talking about and go into depth about the music. Would've loved to see you analyse the different horde themes from L4D2, as they change depending on the map you're on and always fit them extremely well.

"tank" really should be listened to ingame, the tank noises fit in so well with the song i consider it being part of it

3:53 "oh shit, throwing Molotov"

What makes left for dead unique is that they use music to tell whats coming at you, Tank! is the best example. There are also short music ques unique for each special infected, it tells you what lurking and it describes them well

just stumbled across your content and ive got to say its super refreshing to find someone charismatic and educational to watch. im enjoying your knowledge of music my guy
