Heya folks! In the next session My party will most likely face to scenes, for which I'm looking for soem good background music. I would love to hear suggestions for this!

Current situation in brief: The party traveled to a demonic dimension, to stop an alliance between demon lords. They have arrived at the demons' major trade hub, where millions of different demons reside, with various dens of sin, torture, and more all common place. They seek to get the attention of the demon lord ruling this dimension- the first succubi, who ascended by assassinating various other demon lords. She is a virtual enigma, but is the mistress of darkness, lust, secrecy and assassinations.

The party has an agent of the demon lords on their trail, with a vendetta against the party.Which leads to the first scene:

1- Cliffhanger furious start! the party ended the last session by luring their tracker to appear and confront them! She appeared some distance down the street, but we stopped right there. The party expect a hell of a fight, and I intend to give it to them! :smallamused: I'm looking for a furious fast paced battle music, preferably with darker/ demonic themes. I prefer not epic/ Highly heroic themes, but rather to create the feeling of being over whelmed, as the demon will try to get pretty much every other demon in the street to gang up on the party! :smallbiggrin:

2- Demonic negotiations: When the party finally attracts the attention of the demon lord succubi, they will be invited to her palace. The place is full of exultant sin and debauchery, but also a lot of shades, secrecy, and danger. They are not alone though, for the emissaries of the other demon lords arrive at the same time! (As the demon lord ruler intended).

The party will negotiate against these adversaries, to persuade the demon lord. They are basically negotiating for the fate of their world, for if she joins the others, their prospects are very, very grim... The negotiations will have several stages, with breaks between them. The entire thing is likely to tke several hours of play in real time, and it's supposed to be one of the major events of the entire campaign. Coming into the REALLY big league! :smallamused:

What am I looking for this?
1- Music for the palace, and the breaks of negotiation. I'd love something that feels at both alluring and comforting, but with definite tones of something sinister in the shadows/ danger... It should feel tense, but as a background, not the forefront.
2- Music for the negotiations themselves. The main thing here is that it should feel tense, but also quite refined and have a "high class/ court" feel. Something you'd expect in the presence of a ruler.
3- Music for the demon lord herself- Something powerful and majestic, yet if possible feel elegant, subtle and somewhat sinister as well.

I know very well that I may not be able to find tracks that fit perfectly, but anything you think might be close/ inspirational is quite good. I'd love to hear what you'll suggest!

Thanks in advance,
Kol.:smallsmile:

You should try Castlevania: Symphony of the Night soundtrack.

It has many tracks that vary between somber, enigmatic, elegant, sophisticated, demonic and brutal, all combined with a very good gothic atmosphere.

Start listening to these tracks, to have an idea of the wide range of emotions you can have with this CD:

1) Track 02 – Prologue
2) Track 13 – Festival of Servants
3) Track 21 – Dance of Pales
4) Track 25 – The Tragic Prince

Also, for battles that feel powerful and majestic, yet elegant, subtle and sinister, I recommend you to listen to some Gothic Symphonic metal bands. Check these awesome albums, in which I’ll also give you some sample tracks.

Artist: After Forever
Album: Decipher
Track 02 – Monolith of Doubt
Track 11 – Forlorn Hope

Artist: After Forever
Album: Prison of Desire
Track 03 – Semblance of confusion
Track 04 – Black Tomb

Artist: Macbeth
Album: Romantic Tragedy’s Crescendo
Track 02 – Forever
Track 08 – Shadows of Eden

Artist: Tristania
Album: Widow's weed
Track 03 – Pale Enchantress
Track 07 – My Lost Lenore

Also, for dark oppressive atmospheres, I recommend you Glenn Danzig’s album titled Black Aria.

Hope this helps.

Heya CombatBunny! First of all, thanks for the detailed and well thought response. I liked some of the After Forever tracks, they are quite intriguing. I may incorporate these! Thanks! :smallamused: The rest don't quite fit the preferences of the group, but I may keep them for other occasions.

So thanks a lot!

Any other suggestions folks? :smalltongue:
