remember listening to this when times were easier

Rene Maier

I remember those times too. It hurts me and motivates me at the same time. I'm so grateful and wouldn't trade this comingup for anything else. My life for Dubstep

How to get 100% victory in TF2:
1. Pick Spy
2. Equip Cloak and Dagger
3. Play Varien - Cloak and Dagger

Now imagine:

You're with Talon in Summoner's Rift, and then when you throw yourself into the teamfight seeking the enemy AD Carry, and u do a Pentakill, the OST has been replaced by this song.

This is the most epic dubstep i have heard ill play it during big battles on planetside2 and warthunder

The reason why I love this is that it's so driving, plus LOADS of energy. Plus you have Varien's signature orchestral vibes.

First time listing to Varien and its freaking EPIC! The Drop was so Brutal!

@Pallas Debien I know. I kinda figure that out when I was looking at Halo Novas music. Everyone was saying that Halo Nova is Varien. Which I think is Awesome!

Pallas Debien

This is why Varien is so damn good, I don't know any other artist that can make dubstep in this style, and yet make it sound so professional!

NeoYo

This was one of my favorite songs back in 2011, it just sounded so heroic.

Rayen Johnson

Varien puts hard work into his songs and his songs have a lot of stuff in it. I wouldn't be surprised if Varien was two or more people.

Beat song to go with assassins creed

Raph Schru

This track is honestly one of my references in terms of epic dubstep.

Twix Runner

This is the most awesome song I've ever heard. It has something powerful and the drop is.. I haven't got words for that. The drop is not awesome, it's more than that. Cheers x

crazeenuthead

I think Varien is my favorite group. It's Two Steps from Hell, crossed with super-epic dub step. Two Dubsteps from Hell!

Sonic Firestorm

10y↑6

With the beginning of this song, I think of Skyrim. With the drop, I think of epic music.

Arisleida Rodriguez

Cloak and Dagger at TF2 damn this guy is EPIC of the Dubstep

Jonas Urup Henriksen

i really wanna play WoW on a rogue now since they got a spell called cloak and dagger and this music fits perfect for WoW :D

Dodgy

Yeah, but I've killed rogues with way higher item level, since I use all the heals from talents ect. But rogues are really good and if played well, lots of stun time:D

Jonas Urup Henriksen

Ya i like warlocks more aswell and rogue is only fun to play in pvp imo

Dodgy

They suck to level up, I prefer Warlocks :D level 90 warlocks still op even after Kil'Jaedens Cunning was nerfed ^-^

This is epic Battle music. I usually play this while I'm playing Assassin's Creed or, when I'm doing Pvp in Wow. (World of Warcraft)

This song was released on halloween. Was Varien expecting people to show up at other people's houses with a cloak and dagger? (perhaps?)

I am so glad I saw this. this proves my theory that every genre has at least one good song or artist. I have until now disliked all dubstep I've listened to, but this, I can say I enjoyed. I'm going to say that dubstep isn't for me, because I still don't like the wubs and funky sounds, but at least I can respect it now.

"Cloak and Dagger" is actually a very common term....Not just an item in tf2

the dark psalmist

I take the octohedron, put an oval around it, put a sphere around the oval, then apply 100's of rings around the sphere rotating in all directions, and then split the octohedron into two triangles and raise the top one up above breaking the sphere, the bottom one down breaking the sphere, and eject flaming pulsating energy outward in 360 degrees macrocosmically from the glowing dot in the microcosmic center.
