Background Music of Zalanthas

[alicedavignon]

What I tend to do when playing Arm (especially RTPs) is tossing in a song or two in loop that generally fit the theme of what's going on. If some of you do that, or could purely hypothetically imagine themselves doing it too, what music would you play and on what occassions?

To give it a start:

Before city gates

[Nile]

Black metal. Particularly more atmospheric black metal like Drudkh. Emperor is also good. Though mainly in times of peril.

Wait, best band for arming...Agalloch.

I dunno, for some reason I get a distinct black metal vibe when playing armageddon. go figure.

[Bushranger]

This!

[FantasyWriter]

I usually do metal, but I have a hard time finding music for my current (non-combative) PC, so I usually play in silence.

[Thorg]

Background music from other games, usually. Or soundtracks from movies such as 300 or Gladiator. Here's some examples:

ZALATHAS: THE SOUNDTRACK
Hunting on the Tablelands.
Cai Shyzn
There are no Heroes under the Red Sun.
The end of the occupation.
In the company of Gypsies.
In His shadow.
The 'rinth.
In His light.
BONUS TRACK: Byn Patrol.

Feel free to add more!

If there's something playing while I'm playing, I'll get distracted and start singing along, and forget what I'm doing on Arm. Total focus. I'm too ADD. :-D

Zalanthas OST 2:


Elven Run
Somewhere you should not be.
Playing a really awesome character
H.R.P.T.

For any scene involving an apartment: This

Depends on the character, though. I prefer Evanescence with this one. Some might go better with Godsmack, Rainbow, Dio, Metallica. Heh, Metallica suits the Byn.

The Conan soundtrack definitely suits Zalanthas, though.

Hunting on the Tablelands.
The end of the occupation.
In His light.
BONUS TRACK: Byn Patrol.

*thumbs up*

Riding through the endless plains
"Legion returning! Unbar the gates!"
Hunter and his Prey
A minute's calm
Negotions gone wrong
Cleaning the Latrines

[Dan]

Walking into the Gaj.

[Zoltan]

I usually just listen to metal, nothing in particular.

Though I've recently been playing without music on, because I really need to focus to get into and stay in character.

When exciting shit goes down.

[Bushranger]

Prefer this for exciting times myself!

Usually plays when my characters get beaten up by 'Nakki templars.

 Bushranger That was freaking funny! same with Byn patrol Thorg...

[Bushranger]

This whenever I ride or run into Red Storm.

BONUS TRACK: Byn Patrol.

Bahahahahahaha!  So true.

[Antigone]

the perfect but so undiscovered album for Zalanthas would be Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Journeys. It starts off with traditional music from Mongolia, which reminds me of what Tuluki bards might sound like, and gets progressively and progressively more arabic in style, what I'd imagine Allanak would sound like. If there is anyway to find this online or preview it, give it a try!

And I love Amon Amarth for epic battles.

[Zoltan]

Epic Battle
Magickin'
Defiler Den (short version was all I could find  )

[Maso]

I really love this thread. Now I just need to get my PC hooked up to the internetz so I can start stealing these songs for my playlist.

That's interesting. I always though of Tuluk as being a Rome-like place. It might be the fact that they like red, white, the word Legion and marble though.
