Rule of Fear Music


Carrion Crown

For those out there who like to include music in the background, I stumbled across an artist named Adam Hurst on youtube. All of his work is dark, haunting cello, sometimes accompanied by piano. Very, very atmospheric for Ustalav or any horror-based campaign. Thought I'd share with everyone.

For examples:

I plan on buying some of his CDs for the Carrion Crown path, think they'll really add to the feel of the game.

Wow, what a great find. Some of his melodies are truly beautiful.


That is really good stuff and ideal for the sort of foreboding background music that would work well during an rpg session.

Actually, for Ustalav and a Varisian theme in general, I'm shocked that no one has brought up:

Gogol Bordello

Great gypsy-punk and a really fun band, to boot.


Also found this, Dance of the Knights by Prokofiev. This would be perfect for a villain's personal soundtrack, at least the first 1:43 of it.

Another good find, Night of the Wolf by Nox Arcana. Might make a good theme for the campaign as a whole.

and Resurrected, by the same band. Good for the approach to the final foe's lair or such.

If you don't mind some metal elements and vocals i would recommend the Australian symphonic Gothic/doom metal band Virgin Black.

Here's a sample of one of their songs called in death.
