Old Ones, and their Funky Fresh Music


Music & Audio


All joking aside, I need your help once more comrades. Whether this belongs in Advice or General Discussion I cannot say, but I dare to try here first! I've been building my own campaign from scratch for some time now, and I'm a big fan of using music for every little bit of the campaign,I even downloaded 6 hours of jungle ambiance and pure boat/ship noises. This time however, I need very VERY specific music, specifically stuff that just calls to mind the Old Ones. Probably something like, what you would hear in the presence of one, or in one's lair. Hell, even if someone begins talking ABOUT one. Stuff like that! Youtube links would be much appreciated, and thanks again my friends!


The soundtrack to parts of Super Metroid comes to mind. Something sparse, uncanny, and jolting.

An excellent suggestion! As much as I love the games, their music always slips my mind. Well that's definitely one series of sources I can pry into. Thank you!


How do you feel about some death-theming? because this would fit nicely I'd say.

Ahh, Gravelord Nito. Also a fine suggestion! I typically avoided the Souls games because the music I sought called for more eerie..ness. Thank you for reminding me of this one! I think I may go for Pinwheel next. I usually save the rest of the Souls OST for the big dramatic boss fights.

The series has a great OST, although I'm a bit surprised by how few tracks fit the eerie-lovecraftian theme considering the general tone of the series.

Sovereign Court

I like Swartalf, Rosa Crux, Hezentanz, Coph Nia, Saille, Sephiroth and Tiamat.

But if you think that's all a bit depressing, also check out the works of the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society.

Nox Arcana's album Necronomicon

Scarab Sages

I always liked Dream Theater's The Dark Eternal Night for summoning horrors from beyond space and time.

I know, right? They would work good for SERVANTS of Old Ones, I'd think!

I'm glad I could help. Check out some of their other stuff, as well. All of it's great for setting dark and spooky moods.

Their album "Blackthorne Asylum" is perfect for Cthulhu, as well.
