Rex Tremendae (English: Tremendous King) is the Latin song that plays during the intro cutscene of Megalith, the final mission in Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies. It is also considered as a musical prologue to Megalith -Agnus Dei-, which plays during the first part of the same mission directly afterward. Rex Tremendae is featured as track 12 of Disc 2 of the Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies Original Soundtrack, and was composed and arranged by Keiki Kobayashi. The lyrics were performed by the Namco Hometek Choir.
