immolate_the_silenceI absolutely cannot stop listening to this masterpiece. The way it slowly builds and builds and then soars... crescendos up to magnificence at the 1.21 mark has me speechless and breathless and so emotional I can't... My god, you can actually hear the Arctic ice creaking and cracking in the background and practically feel the ominous quality of the landscape. And yet... it's like hope has been found, a raging light piercing through the darkness, revealing the way home, revealing an end to all the madness.
This was created for a particularly poignant scene from the 2018 series The Terror where Blanky, resigned to his death, accidentally finds the Northwest Passage, culminating in the completion of the expedition, or at least for a mere one of its crew. Oh hell, I'll just post it below because it's one of the most moving scenes I've ever seen and it's certainly one of the best uses of music I've ever seen in a scene. The music and the story & character arcs had me in tears and I'm still thinking about it weeks afterward. God, what a series, in every way imaginable it was all just such brilliance.
