A shout out to Carver's theme by Anadel

Out of all themes of Season 2, my absolute favorite is Carver's theme. It is the song that is played during the trailer for A House Divided.

There is just something so immensely badass, satisfying and terrifying of this theme. It begins with something of a quiet pulse. As the musics picks on, there is this sort of introduction to this person. Then the charming melody happens, but the pulse still remains. It is almost like behind this person's charming facade there is this pulse of violence. As the music keeps building and building, it feels like the facade is starting to break.

Then there is a moment of quietness before the pulse unleashes!. There is a wild energy of violence and cruelty, almost like tearing someone apart and once the violence ends, no more pulse, just silence, but then there is a lingering eerie at the end, like the madness is still there.

I can't express it enough, Carver's theme is my favorite villain theme of all time. Anadel did a truly amazing job.

  • Carver's theme is probably my favorite soundtrack in the game. It made the trailer for Episode 2 100x more intense.

  • This was one of the songs I listened to for weeks after hearing it. I like the way you describe it too :)

  • I'm still mad at Anadel for not releasing the episode 5 trailer music yet :p

    I agree it was definitely one of my favorites of this Season, I also like Payback (During Carver's death Ep. 3) and To Rescue (Played after Luke's death in Ep. 5) which is pretty much Payback just with more themes in it. Also does anyone else wish we had more interactions with Carver?? We only have like 3-4 conversations with him. I thought he was one of the best characters in the season, even if he wasn't around for a long time.

  • This theme is absolutely stunning. Fits to Carver perfectly.

  • Thanks mate! And yeah, me too. ;)

    I don't know if I would say it fits Carver, more that it's a good song that fit perfectly with the edited video it was releases with. The trailer was well choreographed and matched this track.

  • Thankies :3 This makes we want to replay Ep3, on replay you do see more good points

  • Killing one in order to save many is part of survival!
