I've not played Dark Souls (put the pitchforks and torches down! I'll get to it one day...) but this is pretty much the atmosphere that I associate with the game. That brass early and tubular bells hit hard. Those chugging strings keep the tension high. Beautiful instruments used beautifully create a very moody heroic tale with sonic chiaroscuro. The piano at the end with the radio-like filter is just the perfect touch to close, and then that cinematic beat... yes. This is my view of Dark Souls in a nutshell.

Dramatic, solemn, and cinematic. Hybrid-orchestral take that is very evocative.

The opening string parts passing back and forth had a quality of ticking clocks.

I felt this had some restraint to it, because I kept expecting it to get to a bigger and larger dynamic but it keeps the energy from getting too big and that gives an anticipatory feeling. Wish it got bigger to climax, but I can understand not going there to keep a certain feeling. Great execution, good arrangement.
