About this sound

Remake of the deep voiced Rise from your grave line from Altered Beast, the classic arcade game intro used for dramatic revivals and boss entrances

This is a remake of the iconic opening line from Altered Beast, where a booming, heavily processed voice commands the hero to rise from your grave. The delivery is deep, echoing and theatrical, with that unmistakable late 1980s arcade reverb that makes a simple sentence sound like a divine order. It instantly signals resurrection, transformation and the start of a fight, which is why listeners recognise it even without any music underneath. Played on its own, it turns an ordinary entrance or comeback into something mythic, ominous and slightly over the top in the best retro gaming way.

Pro tip

Drop it cold at the exact frame a character, boss or player re-enters, with no music underneath so the reverb tail lands clean. Let the full line finish before cutting to action, and avoid layering other voice lines over the grave command.

How people use it

For a player respawning after a long boss fight.
Over a villain dramatically returning from apparent defeat.
As an intro sting for retro gaming videos.
When a sleeping friend finally wakes up on stream.

More information

Altered Beast was released by Sega in arcades in 1988 and later became famous as an early Mega Drive pack-in title. Its opening, in which Zeus resurrects a dead centurion to rescue Athena, gave gaming one of its most quoted voice samples despite the muffled original recording. Clips and remakes of the line have circulated for years in retro gaming videos, remixes and soundboards, kept alive by nostalgia for early arcade voice acting and by how useful the command remains as a joke about anyone coming back from defeat.
