“Victory” (Anthology Mix) by Two Steps From Hell + Horizon Zero Dawn
I’ve been looking for a video to set to this song for more than a year, but I wasn’t able to find the right one until now. I’m still on the fence about whether it works, but I have a feeling another injection of new imagery could make this video all I hope it can…

“None Shall Live” by Two Steps from Hell + Assassin’s Creed Unity
A story like Romeo and Juliet, except they kill anyone standing in their way.

“Strength of a Thousand Men” by Two Steps from Hell + Asura Online
This is (among other things) an attempt to use musical themes to represent certain factions, a la John Williams. The heroic main theme represents the humans, and it makes multiple appearances each time they come on screen. But if you listen closely you can hear that not all is well with this particular group of…
