NOTES:

Apologies if audio/video sync goes off at times. OBS didn't play nice (probably because of 4K60fps capture) and I wasn't going to re-record a 2h video... I tried to fix it but I've probably missed a few places.

Feel free to ask me stuff about this or any other pieces from the OST and I'll reply in the comments!

Don't type shit like, "hey Chris" just to get a reaction—you won't.

To save you the comment, DEADBOLT 2 coming next week.

If you want to support me you can buy my music. If you can't afford to buy my music it will ALWAYS be available for free here on YouTube (as long as you don't steal it and post it on your own channels). You could also buy it on Bandcamp and share the files with a bunch of other friends, it's still more money than I make from ducking YouTube.
