Dm Dokuro The Tale Of A Cruel World

So while I waited for Goozma news, I made this in an hour. Kinda liked it enough to keep it into the OST project as the first track; a mock-up title theme, if you will.

Supported by 39 fans who also own “The Tale of a Cruel World” I've been dying to play the game but never gotten around to it. But omfg the soundtrack is such a good mix of all different types of genres.

Go To

The Calamity Mod has its own, massive soundtrack primarily composed by the artist DM DOKURO - and it is good, especially considering that Calamity is just a mod and not even a full-fledged game.

  • sanctuary, theme of the Sunken Sea. It's beautiful, enchanting, and above all tranquil, perfect for the last remnants of the Sea King's realm.
  • The concept theme of the Planetoids, Blessing of the Moon, though unused, is calming, tranquil, and provides a feeling of reassurance in the otherwise empty void of space.
  • The Profaned Crag sports The Step Below Hell. It's a calm piece with an undertone of danger and death befitting the deadly monsters that stalk the ashen land, yet it still sounds almost tragic to emphasize its former grandeur and its subsequent ruination.
  • wasteland, the theme of the Sulphurous Sea Biome. A calm and somewhat desolate-sounding song that gives an 'after the end' feel, fitting for a formerly pristine ocean irreparably desecrated by Yharim's rule.
  • The Abyss Biome boasts Hadopelagic Pressure, a mysterious and foreboding song which gives a glimpse of the suffocating darkness and deadly monsters you will encounter in the depths.
  • While it wasn't composed by DM DOKURO, the Layer 3 Abyss theme, R'lyeh, sounds incredibly eerie and sinister - perfectly befitting the environment of a pitch-black ocean trench where how stealthy your are is your ticket to either survival or death.
  • void, the theme that plays when in Layer 4 of the Abyss. An incredibly unnerving and eerie song that takes melodic cues from Hadopelagic Pressure, the quiet instruments and choir segments invoke a feeling of isolation and dread that warns you to watch for the oceanic monsters that could jump out of the pitch-black gloom at any time.
  • The Heaven-Sent Abomination, the theme of the Astral Infection Biome. The song is surprisingly relaxing despite the horrors of the infection, but still has an undertone of danger to remind you that you're standing among a virus that has ravaged countless planets before yours.
  • The theme of the Astral Underground biome, Treasures Within the Abomination. It takes the motif from the base Astral theme and turns it into a smooth and slightly oppressive theme befitting of the caverns and underground creatures transformed by the virus.
Dokuro
  • Guardian of the Former Seas, Desert Scourge's battle theme, has a melancholic vibe for the once-great ocean worm, yet still has a heavy-metal motif to remind you that this is the first boss of Calamity, and as such won't be messing around.
  • 1NF3S+@+!0N, theme of Crabulon. A pumping, electro-dance song just as psychedelic as the Mushroom Biome and the giant mushroom crab itself.
  • Blood Coagulant (featuring the artist SixteenInMono), theme of the Perforators. A heavy-metal, foreboding and intense song, the guitars, alien-sounding noises and distorted screams capture the very wrongness that is the Crimson and the Perforator Hive, all while giving you a sense that you can defeat this monster.
  • On the other hand, the Hive Mind brings us The Filthy Mind (also featuring SixteenInMono), a heart-pounding song that starts with a feeling of emptiness and despair before swelling into an awesome, climactic piece that gives the feeling of fighting a fundamental evil.
  • Return to Slime (again, featuring SixteenInMono), the Slime God's theme, is an alien-sounding epic piece perfect for the penultimate boss of pre-Hardmode. It actually incorporates parts of Hive Mind and Perforator's theme, fitting for how the Slime God is both Crimson and Corruption.
  • Antarctic Reinforcement, the theme of Cryogen. It's a somewhat calm piece with various icy-sounding chimes, yet it has a hint of instability and a sudden drop near the end, as fitting for the deceptively calm boss fight.
  • Left Alone, the Brimstone Elemental's theme. It's a beautiful and rather depressing sounding track, with a lot of emotion behind it befitting the Elemental's tragic fall from glory.
  • The Aquatic Scourge brings us Outcast of the Sulphurous Seas, a significantly calmer and more techno-sounding remix of the Desert Scourge's theme, which is fitting for a creature belonging to the same species as it, but one that isn't desperate to kill you. It's sure to make anyone nostalgic for the first time they fought the Desert Scourge.
  • Calamitas' theme, Raw, Unfiltered Calamity, is an immensely powerful medley of every prior Calamity theme, which perfectly represents The Dragon and Mascot Mook that is Calamitas, and just how much influence Calamitas has had over the whole story.
  • The entire Leviathan trilogy, starting with Siren's Call, an enchanting song with an undertone of suspense, curiosity and foreboding, before advancing to Siren's War Cry when the Siren begins its attack, which sounds like the aforementioned Siren's Call remixed into a fast paced boss theme. Then it finally turns into Forbidden Lullaby when the Leviathan herself joins the fight, which sounds like Siren's Call given a load of heavy metal, with the end result being an absolutely spectacular and climactic progressive tune.
  • Interstellar Stomper, Astrum Aureus' theme. The infected metal goliath of the Astral Infection gets a phenomenal heavy-metal theme with motifs from both the base Astral motif and from its old theme, Cosmic Disgust.
  • The Plaguebringer Goliath brings us Fly of Beelzebub, an incredibly fast-paced and techno-ish song that wouldn't be out of place at a rave party, perfectly fitting the frantic nature of the battle with the biomechanical plague-bearing bee.
  • Ravager has Open Frenzy, an incredibly intense and blood-pumping song which emphasizes the raw power of the weaponized flesh golem. It's just you against a murderous abomination capable of single-handedly waging wars, and the music really shows that - all while letting you know that even against a monster so powerful, you can win.
  • Pest of the Cosmos, the Astrum Deus' theme, is an intense song and a psuedo-remix of the Astral Infection's Leitmotif, which is fitting for the frantic battle against the former god of the stars.
  • Calamity's signature post-Moon Lord segment kicks off with Unholy Ambush, theme of the Profaned Guardians. It's an exciting theme which foreshadows Providence herself and encapsulates the feeling of a sudden encounter against new and deadly foes, along with providing the message that just because they're protectors doesn't mean they can't tear you a new one.
  • Murderswarm, the theme of the Bumblebirb, is a fast-paced, guitar laced piece great for the silly but oh-so-deadly Bumblebirb. If you listen closely, it reuses some watered-down leitmotifs from Yharon's theme, fitting for how the Bumblebirb is a failed clone of the Jungle Dragon.
  • Unholy Insurgency, Providence's theme, is a fast-paced wall-banging theme that gives a sense of awe and intensity, befitting the nonstop action that is the fight against the Profaned Goddess.
  • The Polterghast on the other hand has Feral Amalgamation, a rocking theme punctuated with various ethereal sounds that emphasize the power and otherworldly nature of the vengeful, spectral nightmare that is Polterghast.
  • Servants of the Scourge, the Leitmotif for the Sentinels of the Devourer is a bloodpumpingly energetic tune with a nod towards Scourge of the Universe. In a unique twist, each Sentinel gets their own individual version that plays in their boss fights.
    • Storm Weaver’s version (type W) brings the Scourge of the Universe vibes even further by reusing part of the mechworm’s Leitmotif on its own to create a toned-down version of the song. Fitting, since Storm Weaver is essentially Devourer of Gods Jr.
    • Ceaseless Void's variant (type V) has a harsher, more frantic tune, bringing to mind the urgency of fighting a living spacetime rift that could very well destroy the universe.
    • Signus, Envoy of the Devourer has his tune (type S) line up most with the already presented theme, creating an exhilarating follow-up that fits the frantic fight with the spectral assassin.
    • With the release of The Devourer of Gods (Nonstop Mix), there is now a fourth variant of the theme (type D). It starts with a guitar rendition of the beginning of the other variants, then weaves the three themes together with the Devourer's own theme, creating an incredible medley.
  • The Devourer of Gods has the fittingly named Scourge of the Universe, which provides the intensity, grandeur and finality that sets up the atmosphere with the climactic, difficult-yet-awesome battle against the cosmic worm. Whether this theme makes up for the countless deaths that the Devourer inevitably caused is entirely up to you. His second phase boasts Universal Collapse instead, a grandiose remix of the aformentioned theme. The finality is ramped up immensely, both with a higher sense of tensity and energy to get you pumped up for laying the final smackdown on the cosmic worm.
  • Jungle Dragon Yharon brings us Infernal Catharsis (Rebirth), a remastered version of his old theme Infernal Catharsis (which still plays if you fight him while still deemed 'unworthy'). It's an incredibly grandiose theme that inspires a sense of finality as you witness the cataclysmic power of the Jungle Dragon firsthand, with the instrumental and rocking parts of the song working together to deliver an incredibly awe-inspiring piece. Yharon's second phase boasts Roar of the Jungle Dragon, a grandiose and fantastically fitting theme which now features DM Dokuro himself singing, which coupled with the song itself bringing to mind several others from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. The lyrics detail that Yharon already realizes they have lost the battle, but they will fight until the very end out of loyalty for Yharim. Which is made even worse by the first lines which imply Yharim let the adversary Yharon fights get so strong to begin with out of depression and the catharsis he sees out of the his legacy being destroyed in a blaze, which Yharon fears won't stop until Yharim himself dies. Infernal Catharsis, indeed.
  • Supreme Calamitas' theme, 'Stained, Brutal Calamity', is a multiple part epic of a track which progresses as you battle her. The first part, 'Grief', makes good use of bells, ominous choral lyrics, and electric guitars, which give it an overwhelming and oppressive feel evocative of the overwhelming power your foe possesses. The second part, 'Lament', carries on with the chanting and guitars, with vocals from DM Dokuro himself also coming into play. The third part, 'Epiphany', serves as a climactic finale while also hinting at the fact that Calamitas is beginning to accept defeat, while the fourth and final part, 'Acceptance', has an empty and hollow feeling showing that Calamitas has all but accepted her defeat and conceded the fight to you, which pushes the song straight into Sad Battle Music territory.

Other Songs
  • Calamity gets its own title theme, The Tale of a Cruel World, and it doesn't disappoint. It's a somber and incredibly atmospheric song that sets the mood for the storyline behind the mod, as well as serving as a Call-Forward to some of its most major challenges.
  • Before it was scrapped, the Abyssal Minibosses were to boast Threats of the Ocean Floor, an intense remix of Hadopelagic Pressure that really shows off how goddamn powerful these deep-sea fiends are.
  • The first interlude song, Silence Before the Storms (which is meant to be listened to after the Calamitas battle), is a tranquil song that gives off a hopeful vibe, evocative of the challenges you've overcome and the many more to follow.
  • Storms Before the Catastrophes, the second interlude song. Meant to be listened to right after Moon Lord, it's a magnificent medley that foreshadows a number of the post-Moon Lord bosses by providing snippets of their Leitmotifs, giving you a small glimpse of the new challenges you've just unlocked.
  • The third interlude, Catastrophes before the Calamity, which is meant to be listened to right after Yharon. Striking a balance between relaxed and intense and providing a bit of foreshadowing to Supreme Calamitas herself, the song gives off a real 'final stretch' feeling as you prepare to take on the final challenges of the mod.
Vanilla Theme Replacements (from Calamity Extra Music)
  • The Extra Music pack gives the Blizzard its own theme, Cold Front. It's an extremely chill theme that nonetheless gives the feeling that one can't let their guard down in the howling blizzard. For bonus points, it uses parts of Cryogen's Leitmotif.
  • Violence of Space, new theme of the Meteorite mini-biome. It's incredibly alien-sounding and almost tense, fitting for the mysterious space-borne rock and the dangers it poses.
  • Acidic Lament, theme of the Irradiated Rain. It's ambient and somewhat relaxing, yet still has an undertone of intensity and mystery befitting the bizarre (and dangerous) nature of the acidic rain.
  • Gelatine Throne, the replacement theme for King Slime. It does a surprisingly good job at making the Early-Bird Boss of Terraria seem threatening.
  • It Sees Everything, Eye of Cthulhu's theme. It's a bit more whimsical, matching the Eye's nature as an intro boss of sorts, but still has an air of menace to give the impression that it still means business.
  • Evil Earthquake, theme of the Eater of Worlds. Well, the theme sure sounds pretty damn evil, fitting for the subterranean monster, and even has hints of the Perforator's theme.
  • The Brain of Cthulhu gets Crimson Cortex. It starts off as a slow, tense piece that uses various strings to invoke a feeling of dread and anxiety. Then, when the Brain enters its frantic second phase, the theme changes completely - becoming a wild, dissonant, chaotic song that brings a single word to mind: panic.
  • The Queen Bee gets Stinging Onslaught, a fast-paced theme that paints the mental image of an aerial dogfight with the jungle matriarch. For added foreshadowing, the theme uses the Leitmotif of the Plaguebringer Goliathwhy? - and overall sounds like a calmer version of its own theme.
  • Skeletron's theme, Curse of the Dungeon. A catchy, spooky, and menacing piece warning that Skeletron is not to be underestimated.
  • Purgatory's Assault, theme of the Wall of Flesh. As befitting of Terraria's Disk-One Final Boss, it's just as menacing, oppressive, and terrifying as the Wall itself.
  • Playing with Firepower, the shared theme of the Mechanical Bosses. It's incredibly blood-pumping and energetic, yet still provides a clear message that these things are powerful, and as such should not be underestimated. For bonus points, it reuses Leitmotifs from the themes of the bosses the mechs are based off of.
  • Golem is given Fiery Fists of Stone, an energetic and climactic song that is especially fitting when fighting Calamity's reworked, intense Golem battle.
  • Duke Fishron gets Hell or High Waters (ft.Charliedebnam). Although it's a bit on the short side, it's incredibly fast yet menacing - fitting for the Duke's obscenely fast-paced fight.
  • The Lunatic Cultist gets Breaking the Seal, a remix of his former theme 'You Shall Know No More' (which is still used in the base Calamity soundtrack). It's an incredibly fast-paced song that oozes with the same frantic intensity as the Cultist's battle itself.
