Est Cor Suis en Gladium, by Thibault Kervarech

Posted by Daniel Sharp / in Extras / 10 comments

We commissioned webcomic artist and music maker Thibault Kervarech to make us another theme song for the comic. This one is Minerva’s national anthem, “Est Cor Suis en Gladium”, meaning approximately “Their Heart is in the Sword”, with a nice orchestral feel to it :)

Thank you for your work Thibault!

This sounds like something Red would produce; seems very appropriate to the Demon Archives universe. Does it have lyrics?

  Not yet. Listening to it makes me want to write some :)

    Side note @DaemonDan:disqus - check the settings on soundcloud… while the embeds work, the song can’t be seen there (making it hard for people to do awesome things like add it to the office playlist :D)

      Yeah I have them all set to private at the moment. I suppose I could make them publics or something.

    Competing lyrics in Gaelic and French seem appropriate to me for some reason.
    One speaks of the sea, distant shores, tides, full moon and the stars.
    The other speaks of battle, stoicism, and honor.

That’s the first time in my life I hear a national anthem with electro-vibe in it
Feels like an heresy

Otherwise, the track is awesome! :)

  Sometimes you need small heresies! I thought the electro added to Minerva’s futuristic theme.
  
  Otherwise I’m glad you liked it!

    Ahah well it just feels weird to me, but I guess it works in TDA universe :D
