Say what you will of the show but it had a great OST

I'd love to use this song for fighting but for some reason it doesn't quite fit correct. Probably since my Wild Talents game is more urban and the shredding guitar doesn't have the right feel. One day I'll find a use for it.

Oooo not quite; I'm looking more for violin/cello rather than guitar when I'm talking about Strings. However that song is perfect for another scenario!

Here one of my Co-GM's fight themes (she's extremely good at this):

I guess only the first meets your prerequisites. Still, They are worth listening to.

You want the Rome Total War OST.

>>53129051
dude, I suggest you give us some hints at what you are planning in certain situations so we can understand what theme you are going for.

>>53134989
Good idea.

Primarily, I'm looking for a sort of "random encounter" theme where a party of vigilantes are on patrol for criminal activity. This usually results in street brawls and shootouts, occassionally against superpowered criminals.

The keywords I guess I'm aiming for is gritty and urban, more drum and bass driven than guitar, and with strings (violin/cello). Kind of picky but I've been searching high and low for a couple days. So far the Tekken track from this>>53133458 post is the best I've heard in this thread.

This has actually been extremely helpful!

>>53129051

Oldest favorite.

>>53133357
my nigga...

did you rip it straight from the old game CD-ROMs like I did?

>>53129051
>>53134989
this is a very good point.

>>53129051
>WITH A BEAT
all I can give to you will have a beat.

>the glitch mob
these guys do a damn fine job of maintaining a certain level of intensity over time, their full albums are almost exactly an hour long which makes the great for keeping time. their intensity is great for studying, car-trips, DM prep, S&M sessions, and any long-duration repetitive task

>>53135103
so what game are you running ? this seems like a sort of urban heroes thing that leans more to the dark and gritty from what you say.

You should have told us this before since now I know that all this >>53134684 is worthless to you since I thought it may be a fantasy.

>>53135605
As I said in the OP, it's Wild Talents, so gritty superhero action. Fighting superpowered drug dealers and intervening in gang warfare.

>>53135605
>>53135103
From what you say may I suggest "Vampire: the Masquerade Bloodlines ost" ?
there are a tone of good things so I'll just send this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7tFUAzoGYw&list=PLBD52E8E1408D64B5&index=16

And some examples for combat from it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTHNpw9p77w&list=PLBD52E8E1408D64B5&index=8

>>53135742
another thing to add you may like is ost from Max Payne games like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWQsggup7I4

>>53135103
Nibba, you should have told us earlier.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BblebntqEaw

They are more "jazzy" than anything, but I have used some on my modern settings.

>>53135809
Not OP but I don't think Skullgirls is very gritty.

from what he likes so far and what he wants I think he wants music that gives the feel for making drug lords suffer with a small amount of techno in it.

>>53129051
>Something with strings

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09RUuTAM2H0
>closest I can find to a good fight theme by this group
>they do other things better suited to calm sections
>and some post tragic event stuff.

I could gas on about Lindsey Stirling as having a few, but people tell me I over-hype her music. so I'll not put any here. I had also considered Taylor Davis, but not a lot of her music is high-energy enough for me to call it "fight music"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_oaPY0Brrw
>Path by Apocalyptica
might serve you

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHbwAd5gkMM
>Hysteria by 2Cellos
>might have that energy you want with enough grit on the strings for urban combat

I might also suggest combing over the albums of Two Steps From Hell, but thats literally hundreds of pieces of music(they do movie soundtracks) but some of them have some good string or base work.

>>53135698
>gritty hero combat
yeah, glitch-mob >>53135448

Mind if I add my own request onto the thread? I am looking for music that would fit into a Al-Quadim or India style game.
>>53130532
was perfect
>>53130082
And the Dark Pit theme works well.

>Hardmode: Find something that suits that theme that can also work like a sea shanty.

>>53135809
>Max Payne- "COMBAT DRUGS"
Really like this; I can use this for fighting against drugged up metahumans.

>>53135865
>Skullgirls
I'd pick from these in a second, except that everyone at my table except me hates jazz.

>>53136002
>2Cellos
Oh god this matches beautifully with a specific villain that my players are going to face soon. Perfect.

>>53135103
>gritty and urban, more drum and bass driven
Is Pendulum too agro?

Found something you may like, just ignore that it comes from a fantasy game.

https://youtu.be/fDMKlo6Ny_s

Please check out the Vamp game ost as well since all of it mostly fits to the "Dark gritty city"

Ironically I found some nice ost from the Batman game

>>53129051
I'm using this for the boss coming up in my campaign. Maybe you'll like it.

https://soundcloud.com/roetaka/dark-souls-e-s-gwyn
I forgot to post the song. Woopsies. This is a remix of Gwyn's theme, made to be more upbeat while maintaining it's emotion.

don't die

>>53136158
Combat ? Non combat ? For what senerio ?

>>53143695
Anything that fits that theme. Combat music would be great, as I have some playlists of sitar heavy raaga music, but that isn't great for fighting.

It is really hard to find good traditional sounding arabic music, that isnt an ISIS recruitment video.

Bump of musical interest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJEg_WM0FrI

>>53130082
All of these are 11/10

>>53133458
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQDab8vT8GU <--- this one's great

Agreed.

>>53135865
Skullgirls is full of good beats and you have good tastes.

Ryo Ishido has got some pretty good stuff. The first track (the Raven) I played for a huge airship battle in my campaign.

https://soundcloud.com/dreyklang/the-raven
https://soundcloud.com/dreyklang/nobody-dies-in-dreamland
https://soundcloud.com/dreyklang/beyond-the-horizon

https://soundcloud.com/dreyklang/s-w-a-t-close-quarter-combat
https://soundcloud.com/dreyklang/stay

if someone could tell me what the hell is being sung in the Raven track i would be most grateful. it has been months now and i can't tell if it's "I am seeing" over and over and if he's saying "I watched you naked" or whatever... I cannot make out any of the lyrics and I had no trouble with nirvana.

>>53144720

You saying Hindu/Arab made me think of Sikh so I went searching in Youtube.
I found this but it probably won't fit because it sounds too "modern" but It's a start.

That is already the theme song for the current antagonist. I play this every time he is right about to just "It was I, DIO" them, and they now associate that song with pain.
