If you’re like me, and you often skip the DT intro/mission outros and haven’t listened to the main theme in it’s entirety recently, take a listen and imagine this (or a section of it) replacing the last man standing music that we have now - https://youtu.be/D4hEOMSjzdo?si=jbG8lAuoixfSBeXR
As far as I know, Vermintide used a portion of it’s main theme for the last hero standing track and I can’t understand why Darktide didn’t do the same.
I really think Jesper Kyd made one of the best pieces of 40k music ever with this track and it’s a real shame we don’t get to hear it during gameplay.
For comparison here’s the VT2 last stand music and Darktide’s.

Darktide’s track isn’t a bad piece of music inherently but it doesn’t make me feel energised or even that foreboding, it just kinda makes me depressed, like the mission’s already over 
From the man himself - “Because I knew I wanted that sound, like when you hear the Darktide theme, when that bass line that just comes in and you’re like, it’s supposed to make you pause and say what is this?”
“And it’s such a weird mixture of styles. And that is the technique on full display. It might just sound like a simple bass line, but to get that thing going, and to get it sounding that loose, and to get it sounding full of anarchy. Because you start underground in Darktide. It was very much designed to support that. Everything is chaos, anarchy, and dirty. You’re a reject.”
The first minute of music still retains the ominous tension of the current track but if you overcome the initial threat, the theme starts to spool up and you get music that’s more action packed and inspiring whilst you work to rescue your team.
If you like this idea please upvote the post because I’m really hoping the Devs might see and consider changing it.
