Deluge Dirge is a song performed by ω-3.
Description
Deluge Dirge utilises cellos, timpanis and electronic production for a war march-like anthem. The different instruments all follow separate rhythms. It is the standard battle music for Salmon Run matches, replaced only by Frantic Aspic during wildcard rotations or Fishing Frenzy during Known Occurrences. It can also be heard in Squid Beatz 2 after first hearing it in a Salmon Run shift, with a maximum score of 117 and 339 in Normal and Hard modes, respectively.
The song starts with a timpani following a war march rhythm, shortly followed by an intense cello's frantic playing of a repeated melody; this melody is in turn followed by various sound effects alongside a separate electronic percussion pattern. After the intro, the cello plays a different melody wherein its bowing has been altered electronically. In the post-intermission verse the instrumentation from the intro is repeated, this time accompanied by an additional layer of electronic instrumentation. The cello peaks with high notes, leading into the chorus, which begins with drawn out blares from an electronic instrument alongside a filtered, lower-pitch variant of the cello's melody. The chorus picks up with additional harmonies added to the electronic instrument, which now simulates a warning siren or horn. After the chorus, the intro melody is repeated, now with added harmonic layers of additional cellos, timpanis, and further electronic percussion, creating a very chaotic atmosphere. After this intense verse, the song loops from the start.
