Orc Themed Music Advice....


Gamer Life General Discussion


Looking for peoples thoughts/advice on music that is Orc Themed.

I'm building an Orc Campaign for a home-brewed Campaign (using Pathfinder System).
Definitely trying to immediately set the Orc Campaign up to be different than the previous human derived Campaign.
I've done the LOTR & Conan soundtracks to death.

So far I've been taking from the Book of Eli Soundtrack, 300 Soundtrack and Spartacus Blood & Sand but am looking for more.

Heck some non-lyrical "musical" heavy metal would be welcome.

Sovereign Court

Tribal music would be good...try music from african and asian tribes...


Everytime I hear Basil Poledouris Conan The Barbarian (1982) soundtrack I picture musclebound barbarians hacking their foes into red ruin.

I believe that is because that is the movie in a nutshell :D :D :D

Or at least 1 barbarian.


There's always The Classic Orc Song


Za Frûmi

Quote:
The Za Frûmi saga and is inspired by orcs and their language. It's almost possible to say that this branch is radio theatre with music, but the music is very important. Deep flutes, great drums, and ambient sound effects and neo folk music could be heard. The dialogue is in the orcs' language, called Black Speech.

They're a Swedish folk band, first three albums are all orc themed.

Silver Crusade

Dude. That's awesome.

Amusing, but pretty General Audience in context.

Looking for what orcs would be with a Restricted Audience. Actually worse than that.

OMG Brilliant!!!

A little light sounding at times, but the theme is bang on.


Yeah, it's a mix of music and performance art, so it's a little weird to listen to, but you can find good musical passages in there that are very orky.

I'm an orc-o-phile. Orcs are my thing.

Liberty's Edge

Goblins are cooler!

Also, hmm.
Spoilered for Gark liking a specific set of artists

Spoiler:

This song
Some lyricless semimetal
This and maybe this
This (though the whole album has a pretty tribal feel, this is the only really dark song)
This one is cool
This, this, and this
This
This bunch of stuff I guess
I'd check out some dubstep, too; it's generally pretty grating and brutish


This one is a good one. Everytime I hear it, I see an army of Orcs/Creatures gathering to besiege a Keep.

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 32

One Direction might work


Whenever I think of orc music, I think of gothic 2 ost such as Valley mine Pass . The stronghold theme from Heroes of might and magic IV might also work.
