It may be nearly Thanksgiving, but I've still got Halloween music to share! "Resurrection" is a synth-driven anthem about a zombie uprising. I decided to go all-out fantasy with this one envisioning an entire battle between necromancers and ancient warriors in a cursed graveyard. The music is definitely a little more cyberpunk than medieval, but I've always enjoyed crossing genres anyway.

Lyrics:
Beyond the rolling thunder
Lie demons shouting battle cries
And they'll rise
Here in the cursed wasteland
Through your apocalyptic eyes
Our demise
Hell bent on resurrection
Bringing us back to life
Unleash your dark confessions
Tell us what lies in the night
Old spells of fire and fury
Painting these hallows red
We'll be the risen champions
Back again from the dead
Within our graves forsaken
Let rot the spirits left behind
Our hollow minds
We've seen the edge of chaos
Been to the bottom, felt the flame
Of endless pain
Let loose your inhibitions
Channel your innermost desire
Revive this hell and all its fire
Bring forth a revolution
With hordes of followers beside
We'll never die
He knew that he would never get a chance like this again. He had studied necromancy his whole life and did things that he could never be forgiven of. But here, here was a chance for redemption. Nobody knew what had brought them here, those things of darkness and death. They were a stain on the land and would soon consume all life. That is, unless he succeeded. He had evaded them for this long, and had found precious scraps of information that had brought him here. They had fought these things before, in centuries past, and perhaps could do it again. It was the only hope. He, like all who still lived, knew their names; Karthann, the Unyielding, who held back the tide of demons before. Dante, who had been a shadow in the night to them, the blade that they never saw coming. Farenaal, who had woven the magics that sent them back to whence they came. All knew of them, none knew that they were buried here, in this unmarked cairn. He could hear the howls as they split the night. They were closing in, he would not survive the night, but maybe some would, and could fight the things. He took a deep breath, steadying himself for what was to come. If he had lived at their time, he might have fought against them, but he knew that they alone could help. He took a deep breath and stepped into the crypt.
Always nice to see a writer at work. Your skill is admirable friend
I got chills reading this with the song playing along
An absolutely amazing idea, never stop dreaming up stories.
Who knew Molag Bal was into 80's Synth rock?
who knew?
Only when done right and Aviators got it right.
That's his theme.
Coldhharbour is the 80s
It's not surprising. Even his name sounds like an 80's Swedish synth band...
It makes me feel a Lich Wants Revenge on a party of adventurers who are the true villains in the game...
What you discribed reminds me of an old video game, Overlord, the plot, You, a former warrior who fell in battle, and was risen by little imp like monsters, under the control of the former overlord, using you to hunt down and kill the former heros, who thought they killed the original overlord, i know not exactly like what you said, but this is what i was reminded of.
@@the97thsurvivor46 actually it reallt us exactly as he said because each hero did infact become evil and corrupt after beating the overlord. spoiler below
though it turns out the overlords ghost possesed the wizard the gandalf of the group who slowly corrupted the other heros
@@wilmagregg3131 Been a long time, i don't remember enough to argue but that sounds like what would've happened.
Or the hero's themselves brought back by a lich
@@the97thsurvivor46 Another game this song is reminiscent of is Iratus: Lord of the Dead, the plot of which focuses on the dread necromancer Iratus, who was accidentally unsealed by greedy mortals who dug to deep, and his ascent back to the surface as he regains his full might, with the final boss being the spirits of the heroes who sealed you in the first place. The gameplay is very reminiscent (or derivative, depending on who you ask) of Darkest Dungeon, with Iratus acting as both the Ancestor and the Heir, and Iratus's necromantic abominations acting as the heroes you send into the eldritch meat grinder. As a twist on DD combat, since _you_ are the one with the nightmare-inducing monstrosities, the enemies are the ones with a sanity meter that can cause them to lose their minds if lowered too far
AVI.
STOP IT.
STOP BEING SO AMAZING.
Actually don't. Don't stop being so amazing.
avi is a pretty good video format, but i prefer mp4 because sometimes avi can be hundreds of gb
what means gb??
@@martinfranchini7488 its a unit of measurement, specifically for information, a gigabyte
I saw Molag Bal's face, so I clicked
I was not dissapointed
Odly enough this song makes me think of necromancer respecting dead Heroes to fight an Evil monster; I don’t get the vibe of evil zombies threatening our heroes...
The song’s still EPIC though!! 🤩/10
Seriously GOOD GOD is this good!!!
I’ve literally listened to this on a loop for hours
I used that concept for a dnd one-shot because of this song
Zombies Are never truly evil
Necromancers are just the first recyclers. Sure they get into the muck but atleast they aren't Ectomancers.
"Now, now listen. I'll cut the ropes after I explain why I brought you back. Your bard doesn't react well to getting woke up"
This is such an amazing song for a character who isn’t talked about enough
Avi, you might've just introduced a new concept to us -- FantasyPunk, a fusion of the tech of cyberpunk, with the aesthetic, story, and wonder of fantasy. I like it.
May I recommend- shadowrun?
@@Joural0401 I mean I'm semi-familiar with Shadowrun. My understanding is that's it's more towards the grimdark side of the setting style chart, whereas this feels... I think the term would be "nobledark" -- ie, 'Things are bad and have been bad for a while, but they can be changed, because there's a place for heroes' -- that sort of thing.
imagine being so talented that you just straight up make a new genera
@@kaminathegreat7539 yeah shadowrun is pretty not quite grimdark ala warhammer id call it slightly cynical but yeah this song gives of more hope then normal fantasy sci fy stories tend to have
@@Joural0401 I want to like you're replay more than once.
I've been watching this since it was released. Not once did I notice the demon in the sky.
The comments of Molag Bal""
Brooo fr?💀💀
The dead resurrected because Avi's music is so good.
I had a story idea loosely inspired by this song (mostly the "We'll be the risen champions // Back again from the dead" lines), so for anyone interested.
The main character is a brilliant necromancer (either "good" necromancer who defiles the dead but doesn't actually harm anyone, or possibly evil but still choosing to save the world; I'm leaning towards the former, so a chaotic good necromancer) who discovers a looming threat to the world somehow or other (possibly related to being a necromancer, possibly not; doesn't really matter), and realizes that the world is not prepared. They need a hero and they don't have one. Obviously, attempts to warn people don't work when you're a wanted criminal and your only evidence is magic rituals of your own design, unverifiable because there's nobody in the world who could understand them (and if they could, they'd probably be an equally untrustworthy necromancer).
So they design a solution. True resurrection of heroes past. Normally, you can't truly resurrect someone long dead (the necromancy just utilizes the remnants of the "soul body" or whatever, the interface between body and soul which contains some power and thus lets you animate undead worth more than what it took to animate them), but the same is not true for heroes and other legendary figures whose souls remain tethered to the world (in the Hall of Champions or something), either by the collective wills of people or by some higher entity (leaning towards the former, but again not really important). In order to do so, however, they need to retrieve bodies and relics and whatever else they can of those heroes. Furthermore, the ritual needs an absurd amount of power. I like the idea that they're chaotic good, and as they go on they realizes that they'll need to kill thousands to perform the ritual, and has to choose to go on anyway because otherwise the world's fucked. Story ends with necromancer dying, killed either by the summoned heroes or as fuel/conduit for his ritual.
Maybe that’s just part one? And part two is the heroes saving the world?
@@gallus8960 I mean, sure, but that's like every story ever :P
Yaksher Hmm, fair enough, but what if the heroes kill the necromancer, and then have no idea why they’ve been resurrected? So they have to find out why they’ve been brought back? Maybe the necromancer’s story is like a flashback explaining to the heroes why they’re back from the dead?
@@gallus8960 Out of character for the necromancer not to plan for that eventuality.
Yaksher Fair enough, this story does sound interesting and it has great potential.
I’ve been waiting for this. The synths here are just godly, and the vocals are top notch. It’s seven minutes of adrenaline-filled bliss.
Owl mustache at 7 oclock yeah
Molag Ballin' to this everytime fam
That needs to be the title of a Young Scrolls song.
The instrumentals for this song are my favorite off the entire EP
Love it so much
Ayyyyy sup
This song gave me an idea for a d&d character.
Traumatized youth turns to fallen cleric who promises the ability to return those he loves from death. After years of dedicated training as a cleric and developing a decent level of skill ( lvl15)he finds out that theres no way to return his family to life. He suffers a massive psychological break. He loses his faith, his connection to his deity, and almost his humanity, before discovering necromancy.
Quick question, what God would you say this cleric worships/worshiped? I could either use this as a backup character or a mini BBEG in my campaign.
@@travis9841 here's what I have storyboarded: The fallen cleric was in service of Helm or Lathander or at least Eldath. I would have the hero gain the favor of the deity for the acts of service he does under the tutelage of the fallen cleric, but the favor he gains is not enough to bring his family back for some reason or the god instructs him to let his family go.
The hero is not willing to do this, and the fallen cleric suggests a "holy ritual" that any warlock or sorcerer in the party would see through with a moderate DC as a necromantic rite.
The cleric, still in favor of his deity, gathers the items to perform the ritual dutifully, and then the fallen cleric guides him through the ritual.
Halfway through, the hero discovers the true purpose of the ritual is to prolong the fallen cleric's life or something... haven't figured out something compelling enough yet.
The hero loses favor with his deity, his powers and abilities and the choice he has is to either accept a fallen clerical existence (possibly with no way to become a cleric again because the ritual tried to curse a god or something)or pursue other avenues which leads to necromancy
@@asuna411 Thank you for sharing this information. It is appreciated!
The glowing eyes in the background reminds me a bit of the Hybrid from Starcraft 2
This is like an epic version of Medi-Evil
resurrect my eARS AVI HOLY SHIT I FEEL *ENLIGHTENED*
_I'M HELLBENT ON YOUR FUCKING MUSIC_ i love it
Sup boi
please calm down before you go into cardiac arrest
@@TheMemeLich5122 that made me laugh out loud 10/10 reply
this song is fantastic, its really great to listen to while playing any medieval rpg game like Dark souls or TSE
First time listening to this and upon starting I have goosebumps.
This song makes me think of a bunch of elves and dwarves and humans all at a modern day rave jumping up and down and shit
Dark Souls, synth edition!!!
Elder Scrolls online lol. Technically you die and are revived, and this image is from eso.
You are the reason why everyone should be on youtube
This is the perfect music for painting my new Necron army! Thank you for an incredible song with driving energy and a haunting pulse of fun, dark energy.
gotta say, this bassline has enough epic to raise the dead.
the bells in the outro are such a nice detail. funeral knell is my favorite instrument
Hello, new favourite song. I will play you until the end of time ( or until aviators makes a NEW new favourite song)
Bro, let's face it. New favorite song every time aviators posts a new one.
Do you have now another one?
Before I subscribed to your channel I never even heard of synthwave. You got me into it with your dark themed synthwave songs. Well done mate
Very nice indeed! Also I recognize these as characters from the Elder Scrolls Online, very nice too.
I literally only now noticed molag bal in the background because of this comment, never would have known
these guys on the picture are from the elder scrolls online cinematic trailer, aren't they
They are
Resurrection is one of my personal favorites from HATM. It reminds me so much of songs like Darkness Before The Dawn, Rock The World, Writing on the Walls, Who's Going to Stop Me Now?, & all those "cheesy" sort of electro, house, & pop-ish songs. I absolutely love it & it's an amazing throwback to them
LOVING the synthwave stuff you are doing.
It’s like playing Diablo if it were made in the 80’s
What I'm getting from the song (which I could be wrong, this is Aviators after all). Is that the ancient heroes also got resurrected but they're the only ones bale to stop the evil and the necromancers!
They also are perhaps the only ones with free will.
Nestor Makhno's Papakha death knights of Ebon Blade?
I mean, the picture is a band of people who got murdered in a ritual sacrifice to he demon of conquest and came back from his Hell without their souls, and the demon is showing his face in the smoke while his demonic and cultist minions do all the fighting below him. Aka, it's The Elder Scrolls Online original promotional, albeit slightly changed from the original colors. Interesting change, honestly.
Was this pic actually from Elder scrolls online? My curiosity is killing me now...
Reminds me so much of Gauntlet: dark legacy.
The song feels spot on with the picture in the video, since the depiction of it came from The Elder Scrolls Online. Three Alliance Heroes (the players) facing the same godly enemy before the Ruby Throne, that each of them try to claim for their faction, and that enemy is the Daedric Prince of Domination, the God of Schemes, where he enslaves all mortals and immortals he can grasps. Almost all the mortals that bound to him are either they voluntarily submit or the dead been resurrected and become mindless thralls. Most of his minions are masters of necromancy. He's also the father of vampires since the 'blood' originally came from him. His realm, Coldharbour, is reek with decaying bodies and rotting flesh, which also shaped as a form of imitation to Nirn (the mortal planet), but already touched by his delights and desires. With a little help of his dedicated mortals, he's able to gain access to Nirn and aiming to merge and turn it into his own domain. which the three heroes, try to prevent.
Keep on the creation, Avi.
The artwork and lyrics give me a strong destiny feel
Hey! great job, The use of sampled bass guitar riffs is fantastic! makes this go from good to absolutely the BEST.
Aviators you traverse all lines of music, with Taste, and class! Wonderful piece of genius! 👍👍👍👍❤ great stuff!!
Been a week... Still can't stop coming back to this epic song!
time to drag you back then?
man, i've been listening to this album every october since i found your stuff. every song in here is a masterpiece
this is probably my favorite song ever
as much as I listen to it, it never gets old. As with most of Avi's songs, but especially this one.
I really like listening to this while I play ESO. Like I am right now, actually.
Love this song. How it starts out all eerie and goth, and then goes straight into ass-kicking, Dance With The Dead mode in the chorus. Good stuff!
I always hear Matt Damons shouting battle cries and I wonder... how many Matt Damins are there?
I'm always late to comment on these, but this is certainly an amazing song. I always love your more electronic-styled music
That arp thing during the verses makes me go WHEEEEEEE! This is absolutely epic! :D
Really amazing, gives me lots of inspiration for my art!
And the picture with Mannimarco is OMG, Great choice. ^^ Keep up this great work ^^
Ah, I see you are a Mer of culture as well.
Woah, I'm the 2000 like. It's weird seeing 1.9k change to 2.0k
Dang. That's pretty cool honestly
Absolutely amazing song as always, I can tell this is one of your best albums to date! And you'll keep surpassing yourself!
Keep up the amazing work my awesome Dude
OMG!! Fantastic!!
This is one of the catchiest songs I've ever heard. 10/10👏👏👌
This song put an image of a lich shredding on a keytar into my mind, and I thank you for that.
"GET OUT OF MY SWAMP" theme. Love it
This is so great to come home too after a shit day at school. Thanks, great work!
Well while i was playing this song again and again i fell asleep and got strange dream, where bunch of zombies and skeletons started synchronic dance while lich in regal attire sits in dj place. All in night club full of fantasy races. Later to the undead join black unicorn and they all do crazy stances.
What I'm getting from this (which it's a amazing song) I got this feeling that warriors from the past rise to either bring order to chaos or bring hell on Earth either way it's great amazing work on this one
I just listen to this on repeat everytime I play ESO. Especially during the main questline.
I hear little bit of "Wake Me When It's Over" in the background. p good as always dude
Went above what i was expecting, great job on this one
Adoro todas tus MUSICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!!
Awesome as always. Can't wait for more!
Such is the power of Nagash.
I'm a simple man, I see Mannimarco, I click.
Molag Bal demands the souls of all mortals.
This an Awesome song i love the work you put in to this
If it wasn't for your music, especially taking risks and mixing genres like this (I know you just uploaded this but im loving the cross already, and the concept is brilliant) I wouldn't have been able to stay determined on writing my first book, and thus given up on writing. But your music got me through it and inspired me to keep going, and now writing is what helps me cool down or relax, allowing me to have a creative outlet. Long story short, you changed my life, and I promise that if I ever direct a movie you're the first one I'll contact (ok, to be fair that'll never happen, and I accept that, but the point remains)! Love you Avi, keep doing what you love! (P.S. I purchased all your songs around the end of august, and it was the best purchase I ever made. I've been listening to them daily. You're a master of your craft!)
This was another interesting song from this EP, although not my favorite, it was still really good! But, once again the chorus is amazing! :)
Love the 2nd person perfective.
Thank you youtube for recommending this synthwave masterpiece and game music channel
Halloween Music in Thanksgiving, Nice.
This song is so fncking awesome
This is the earliest I've been to an aviators vidio and I really have to say you inspire me ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Aviators,You inspire me! like to let me know you saw this! ❤😇
Thanks! look forward to what the Future Brings! :D
Can't... stop... LISTENING!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍
Could listen this beat for hours. Nice style🎵😎🎵
DOOT!!!! That background art looks spooky.
Can't wait till the CD arrives ^.^
When it came out it was souls out almost immediately and I cried....now, after a few months I went pack to the website and ordered one...my life is once again complete^.^
@Liam Cahill
*CDs
All three of them 😢
Well this song is the perfect theme for my DND story based around a lich raising an army
Perhaps its just me but i'm getting a weird justice league vibe from this
Inspiring and epic as usual. You kill these songs dude! 👍
I'm so early! \(OUO)/
Love you Avi! Keep up the amazing work!
holy shit i love this! how is there not more? i need in in my veins!
Truly awesome mate truly great music it's got that 80's sound to it I love it
This song is soo awesome
Diablo 2's Necromancer has a serious axe to grind. I am so going to reinstall my old copy and play again with this in the background.
This is an amazing find!
god knows how much i love your work! keep it up! youre amazing!
I read the description, so I know it's not about Dark Souls, but... "hollow," "champion" (not chosen, I know, but still).
Does sound like it, doesn't it?
There's a good number of these that sound perfectly Soulsborne, like you can't convince me The Far Side isn't at least a little bit about both series' lovecraftian elements.
Best to play video games to... It'll increase the epic levels to over 9000!!! Who's here in 2020?
This is amazing
This is so GOOD!!!
this song gave me the plot for a story. a group of heros summoned to the world to aid a small cluster of kingdoms and stop a ruler who is trying to tale over the world. the beat the leader and instead of killing him he swears to back down and live in peace with the other kingdoms. while the heros are celebrated by the people the rulers of those kingdoms they helped plotted in secret to remove them. as such during a party each hero is killed and its covered up. later maybe ten or so years later the heros are brought back to life. not by the rulers of the kingdoms the help but by the one who wanted to take over the world. where they see a ragged wounded man who looked nothing like the man they had battled to near death. what stood before them was a shell of that powerful being weak and withered. but the former ruler would catch them up to speed that yes they saved the world from him but the kingdoms now having free reign to do as they wish had messed with power and had open a gate well to hell and now the party would have to seal it and learn that the old ruler was trying to stop this all from happening
Sir, it's the zombies. They're revolting. ;)
Damn, this is a good one
Goddamn, literally every song of yours could be the basis for a DnD campaign couldn't it?
I feel like some would be better for a more cyberpunk based system.
But a good chunk of them evoke a feeling of epic fantasy, for sure.
Epic
Love it. Your synthwave is legend.
If you don't mind my asking, who does your art, because I find that the art for every video is just as amazing as the music itself, complimenting each other into new levels of amazingness that could not be achieved alone?
This particular picture is from Elder Scrolls Online, you can tell because of the three characters in the foreground.
Interesting. I wouldn't have guessed.
im literally in love with every single song you post. Your voice is amazing and no matter what you sing it comes out so perfectly that I can't control myself. I end up singing along with you lol! :D You are my favorite musician. :) you inspired me to buy a guitar and practice on it lol.
Cool
