I find it comparable to palm muting, a common guitat technique used in heavier genres of metal, particularly thrash metal which seems to be the closest comparison.
Akira: Y'know your Demon Emperor outfit really speaks to me. Hazama: Really? What's it say? Akira: 0:54 It says now, I'm gonna kick your butt twice as hard.
I think it literally IS the Amala theme and that Atlus recorded the SNES version of the track to get it for Nocturne and this is just a cleaned up version from the if... OST or an actual SNES
Honestly, Meguro peaked on Raidou and Devil Saga. He just ran out of tracks to write after that and started making the same ones over and over again, just change a little bit here and there.
Wholly unique, the "Demon Emperor" form of the main antagonist- Hazama- in one route. In others he's in a distorted human form instead. SMT If's been translated so you can see it for yourself ingame, too.
This showed up a few times today because of youtube mixes, its kind of growing on me. It has that wesley willis authenticity going on that you gotta love. This is definitely a yelldownwarhellride
This track goes so hard with the Bonds route of that fan-remake. Spoilers btw It feels like a desperate fight to remind your friends about the reasons they were able to get this far, to remind who they were. Heart breaking stuff man
@@minemon106 I know it's on the SFC, but the PS1 version is easily better for the OST alone. Unfortunately, the SFC one got translated, and not the PS1 one.

No. Tsukasa Masuko was already not working with Atlus by the time this version of the game was released. Kenichi Tsuchiya simply understands very well how to emulate the style of Tsukasa Masuko.
@@firestar4407 tsukusa hasn't worked on anything atlus for a while so i doubt it, but tsuchiya worked on p5r so im hopeful for him :D. tsuchiya has composed for more megaten games than tsukusa and meguro so my hopes are high

Akira was so pissed off at Hazama that they made a song for him
This was the comment I always wanted to make but was too lazy to
My favorite part about this song is how it sounds like some of the samples are cutting themselves off due to how fast this song is
Nice visualisation
I find it comparable to palm muting, a common guitat technique used in heavier genres of metal, particularly thrash metal which seems to be the closest comparison.
Such a crime that they didn't add this to the spotify releases of SMT
IKR THE PSX/PS1 GOT SHAFTED IN GENERAL. INSTEAD WE GOT THE SHITTY SEGA CD VERSIONS AS COMPLIMENTARY TO THE COOL SNES TRACKS.

Quick reminder that this entire game and especially the Akira route are a giant devilman reference
I mean it makes sense that a character named Akira would reference Devilman.
@@lukeeichenlaub3183or the fact that he uses with Amon
The route is, the game isn't.
Does it have a North America release?

bro ,let´s be real
Hazama has drip
@@dottalks8156 The Hazama drip is elite
Looks like an evil statue of liberty mixed with a Knight's Templar.
So, this is the antecessor of Nocturne's Amala battle theme. Cool!
Yep, currently trying to beat Nocturne....but it's tricky:D
@@CrazyFriendlyGamerAlex With Hardtype patch on hard i hope?
It's been remixed quite a few times and I can't blame Atlus, it's pretty great

Nocturne Remaster is coming! And I still haven't beaten SMT If yet.
Kenichi Tsuchiya, Shoji meguro, Takami asano, Tsukasa masuko... SMT has some amazing composers.

Wait a minute youre funny Twitter mass destruction guy
Kenichi is a monster man as a new atlus fan ik shoji gets all the love but i like kenichi retro style more
Funnily enough the series Fiend theme was made by him and not Meguro. Some of his IV tracks are also bangers like the Archangel one.
Honestly, Meguro peaked on Raidou and Devil Saga. He just ran out of tracks to write after that and started making the same ones over and over again, just change a little bit here and there.
@@DaiIchiShujinko and made "Acid Jazz" for Persona 5 lol

That demon looks really cool
Also i really like the chords
I think it's supposed to be Principality? Or one of the other angels, I get them confused sometimes.

When you're trying to take the school nerds lunch money but they say no.
this slaps harder than my mom when I screw something up
I feel a bit of smt1 in here
so many remixes and variations of this song but theyll never top the original
i never played this game but Old Enemy is one of my favorite OST ever a certified banger
Shin Megami Tensei: Megaman If X...
Shin Megaman Tensei: If X...
why do I hate this so much
WHAT A BOP!!

Sounds like something from Megaman X
That's why they call it Megaten. What do you think the X stands for?
@@veryexciteddog963 -SMT X Fire Emblem-
Because its an snes game
zach Heckart This song is only in the PS1 version
That's funny considering the original title of the game was Shin Megami Tensei X.
This track is also in SMT VX (unofficial remake of SMT 1) when you fight with Law Heroine, Law Hero, Neutral Heroine, Chaos Heroine, and Chaos Hero.
This track goes so hard with the Bonds route of that fan-remake.

まさに「宿敵」にふさわしい神曲！
Damn this track makes *me* want to fight demons

The Red Redness.
It was remixed 10 years later in Nocturne and 20 years later in V, holy Molly, that's a straight quality sign.
Wait its in SMT5?
@@CatManThree yes, Demon Castle battle theme is remix of this theme
@@1SecondToLight Eeeeeh, I dont really think so.
0:00 - 0:14 lots of Motoi Sakuraba vibes over here.
Do you have a link to the thumbnail art? It's great.
That Eltnum pfp :eyes:
Copy the link of the video and search it on google images 😎
Come to think of it, what battles does this play for? All I know is that it came from the PSX version of If, but that's pretty much it...
bangerrrr
favorite theme 😎⭐️🤘
wow for snes this is dam good
I think this is actually psx
@@guillermovaliente9561 oh
This is the PS1 version IIRC
@@coatlessali It's for both, and I can confirm that your both right, Which kinda upsets me
@@minemon106 I know it's on the SFC, but the PS1 version is easily better for the OST alone.

where in the game does this track appear?
Is an extra chapter in the PSX version. I think is after the main story of the game, but i'm not certain
@@BiggusWeeabus found out in the mean time, it's the normal boss theme for the Akira route in the ps1 version (and I guess psx too) of if. Akira route is basically ng+ only.
the snes version uses the smt I boss theme.
@@2tehnik Thanks for finding out! I've been curious about that myself; I've loved this song for years, but had no idea where it played.
@@thatgamingauthor you're welcome
@@2tehnik after winning the game once, reject every companion, go to janitor and go throught the vent.
Congrats! You unlocked the Akira Route, a very diffrent route, with this music being battle ost
Sounds like going down the fast way on ROTT soundtrack
If Dx2 has another Berserk event with Femto, this theme should play if you fight him with Guts in your party. Griffith is Guts' old enemy after all.
His old friend too.
Good news.
0.75x speed is actually good
I like 1.25 too
*insert cripple pfp joke*
sounds like SMT4's miniboss theme. heh.
Sounds like chrono trigger.
At 1:06 I just picture everybody dancing in This Is America by Childish Gambino
PS1 ver.
tsukasa is not composer?
No. Tsukasa Masuko was already not working with Atlus by the time this version of the game was released. Kenichi Tsuchiya simply understands very well how to emulate the style of Tsukasa Masuko.
Patrick Schulz Thanks for the information.
Tsuchiya made a great work
This really sounds like a track made by Tsukasa
I hope they hire this guy or Tukasa for SMT 5.

It plays durring various specific boss fights in the Akira route. Only in the PS1 version though.
