Character theme songs?

How about we just say "Forces" for the whole thing? Personally I agree with anyone who says Metallica is "THE SHIT" though, cuz they really are IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!!!

HOHO!
 

Beneath

The wind whispered.. and the world began to change
The Leper Affinity by Opeth would be the perfect song for the Eclipse.

Godshead Lament by Opeth would be the perfect song for any of the huge battles that Guts has been in.

Go DL those and youll see what I mean, and youll see how fucking awesome Opeth is.


Home by Depeche Mode would be a cool song for Guts pre-eclipse.

Trains by Porcupine Tree would be good for a Caska theme song.
 
I got two, for Guts and Griffith. For Guts, the song "Scars" by Paparoach. And for Griffith, the song "The Show Must Go On" by Queen. Just give them a listen, and you'll totally agree with me.
 
Theme song for berserk characters

If you were to pick a theme song for any berserk character, what song(s) would it be?

for guts i think the perfect theme song is Atreyu - my sanity on the funeral pyle

LYRICS LINK


great lyrics
 
Why does everyone pick these rock songs. Why not something like
Chicago
If you leave me now you'll take away the biggest part of me
oooooooOOOOoooo no baby please dont go.
Griff to Gutz

Griffith
Gold digger by Kanye

ill think of more and get back to you
 

handsome rakshas

Thanks Grail!
I think of MDFMK-Gasoline when I think of Griffith.
Especially when sascha keps screaming
BURN THAT BRIDGE,CUT THOSE TIES, LEAVE EVERYTHING BEHIND
reminds me of griffiths choice to sacrifice the band of the hawk

I think industrial music fits berserk perfectly because its so angsty
 

Opie

The Sex Icon
ManOWar - Kings for Griffith would fit to.

"Look and you'll see that a new day will bring the will to go and fight through endless suffering for all who believe waits a crown...THE POWER OF THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING!"

ManOwar is so cheesy.
 

Meathook

The World Eaters are here to save us!
Guts: Sturm & Drang - KMFDM Attak album.
Griffith: Gasoline - MFDMK - MFDMK album
Casca: You're not here - Silent Hill 3 soundtrack.

I couldn't think of one for Zodd.

Evil is born when we lose power over ourselves.
I've got a few that I would like to add.
Since I have a Love for traditional forms of music, I am familar with groups that do a great job of emulating medieval and reinassance styles of music; such as Corvus Corax; Their song "Cheiron" features a very pagan sounding reel using bag-pipes backed by verses performed by choir; I find that this fits perfectly for the Eclipse and Griffith's ascension as the fifth God-Hand.
I have yet to determine the exact verse used for Cheiron but I do know that it is from a Greek Treatise on literature written by Longinus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longinus_%28literature%29
The verses perfomed in Cheiron may well be the famous quote from his treatise:

"A similar effect was achieved by the lawgiver of the Jews — no mean genius, for he both understood and gave expression to the power of the divinity as it deserved — when he wrote at the very beginning of his laws, and I quote his words: "God said" — what was it? — "'Let there be light.' And there was. 'Let there be earth.' And there was."

Which I think also fits the theme quite well.

For Casca: The song "Evenfall" from Tristania's Widow's Weeds Fits all to well. Performed as a full blown gothic Metal Ballad complete with choir, it is a mournfull and desperate dirge.

Call thy name at nightfall
Reach out for thee life's rose
Cast thy veils at sunset
Trespass the waning in my halls
Prosperous beauty
Embraced by eden's heart
Call thy name out tearful
Reveal to me thy deepest loss

Cast... make haste my savage wall
for an end
Thy savage... bleak night
In life thy tears grow scarlet

Come desired nightfall
enchant my grievous loss
Life bewailed at sunset
Trespass the shadows in my heart
Arise before me
bequeath thy grievous loss
Dark at heart I mourn thee
Replace the vigour she once lost


I happened to find something that fits Charlotte as well; from Theatre of Tragedy: . . . A Distance there is . . . Fits her thoughts perfectly and the leadsingers voice perfectly captures the sound of a betrayed and vulnerable young girl.

Come in out of the rain thou sayest - but thou ne'er step'st aside;
And I am trapp'd -
A distance there is...
None, save me and the bodkin - pitter-patter on the roof:
Behold! - 'tis not the rain; thence me it has to be -
I will not drink thy vintage wine, my dear;
Thou hast heed'd that I am of innocence, yet thou let'st thy lass into peril
-
Thou let'st me be parched;
My heart is of frailty, my pale skin is hued damask.
When thou thy tears hast hidden, "Come back!", thou sayest -
There I soon am to be - but how am I to run when my bones, my heart!
Thou hast me bereaft! -
But run thou sayest; I run -
And there and then I behold that a time will come when I again dead will be.
Thou tell'st me to leave without delay -
I leave with my bodkin and my tears in my hands;
Lo! - the shadows, the sky - descending;
So by a dint of smite I gait ere I run and melt together with dusk.
In my mind in which is this event,
But it seems as if naught is to change anyway?!
After all these years thou left'st me down in the emotional depths -
The sombre soaked velvet-drape is hung upon me,
Turning my feelings away from our so ignorant world:
All the beatiful moments shared, deliberatlely push'd aside -
...a distance there is...


I also find that the Swedish/Finnish band Hedningarna http://www.noside.com/artists.html presents pieces of music that do an excellent job of fitting the feeling of Berserk. However, I am unable to post anything by them as I have been unable to find any of their lyrics.

Evil is born when we lose power over ourselves.
For the record: I have nothing but admiration for Susumu Hirasawa and his work fits Berserk more then well enough; I like to match different pieces of music with a lot of my favorite visual works as I find that the association enhances the experience of both media for me.
On that note; I'm posting a piece from Corvus Corax (http://www.corvuscorax.de/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvus_Corax_(band)) that I have taken the liberty of entitling "March of the Berserker", as I do not know the actual song title and it strongly reminds me of Guts. If those of you with a good grasp of the German language would be willing to attempt a translation of the lyrics it would be greatly appreciated.

Guts to Griffith: "Something Against You" by the Pixies

Here it comes...

I have something against you
You have something against me
I have something against you

You have something against me
I have something against you
And I'm gonna use it
I am one happy prick

And "hurt" by Johnny cash for griffith. :chomp:
I hurt myself today,
to see if i still feel,
I focus on the pain,
the only thing thats real,

The needle tears a hole,
the old familiar sting,
try to kill it all away,
but I remember everything,

(Chorus)
what have I become,
my sweetest friend,
everyone i know,
goes away in the end,

and you could have it all,
my empire of dirt,
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt,

I wear this crown of thorns,
upon my liars chair,
full of broken thoughts,
I cannot repair,

beneath the stains of time,
the feelings dissapear,
you are someone else,
I am still right here,

What have I become,
my sweetest friend,
everyone I know,
goes away in the end,

and you could have it all,
my empire of dirt,
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt,

if I could start again,
a million miles away,
I will keep myself,
I would find a way,


LOLZ
 
Here are Some themes I thought of For the Characters.

Guts - Another Holy War By Blind Guardian

Griffith - Bleed For Me By Saliva

Caska - ?

Zodd - Beginning Of The End by Spineshank

Skullknight - Consequences By Iced Earth
 
Here's a song I chose that reflects Guts struggle with the Beast. A song by Arch Enemy,pretty hardcore Metal. I planned on ripping manga scenes and making a motion music video slide show using this song.

Guts - Arch Enemy:"Enemy Within"

Dark thoughts rise up
Deep in your mind
The killing of hope
The end has begun

The locked psycho-door breaks down
The beast breathes freedom and fire
Blows bloody thoughts into your mind
Demons whisper, "commit suicide"

Weak is your body, helpless your soul, The beast destroyed your will
Left nothing but an empty shell

Dark thoughts rise up
Deep in your mind
The killing of hope
The end has begun

Self-destruction leads its way
Your weapons turn against yourself
Cutting through, killing you
A downward spiral, the shadowbeast has won

The shadowbeast calls
A vulture of life
Your worst enemy dwells
From ...within

Weak is your body, helpless your soul, The beast destroyed your will
Left nothing but an empty shell...

The shadowbeast calls
A vulture of life
Your worst enemy dwells
From ...within

-------
Though truthfully I believe Susumu Hirasawa did it right with making the soundtracks for the anime/games...I'de simply be pleased with more work from him for Berserk.
 

Feanor

Nur dem Schwert kannst du vertrauen!
I like mudvayne's "Not Falling". The song is one of my favourites. I heard it first in the "masterpiece" Ghost Ship. The refrain fits quite well!

Always, known in, all my time,
A little left of center now
Reflect as I realize,
That all I need is to find the middle pillar path to sit like the sun by a star in the sky and
just be.
Sinners, casting stones at me

I... I stand, not crawling, not falling down
I... I bleed the demons that drag me down
I... I stand, (for nothing), not crawling, (the center), not falling down (of calms within the eye)
I... I'll bleed, (for no one), The demons, (but myself), that pull me down (for me and no one else)

Goodbye, sunshine, I've put it out again, sad
I'm over, personalities, conflicting, I don't need you, or anyone, but me, I'll just be, living
my own life
I feel my glowing center grow, infecting
I feel alive
Shovel dirt over lime, plant it in myself to sit like a seed under covers of earth and just be
Sinners, pointing fingers at me

I... I stand, (for nothing), not crawling, (by myself), not falling down
I... I bleed, (for no one), the demons, (but myself), that drag me down
I... I stand, (for nothing), not crawling, (the center), not falling down (of calms within the eye)
I... I'll bleed, (for no one), the demons, (but myself), that pull me down (for me and no one else)

Come play kill
Refuse my body, refuse my shadow
Stond cold will
Refuse to lead this, refuse to follow
Bitter pills
Refuse to feed this, refuse to swallow
I'm fueled godless

Come play, come play
KILL
Just be, just be

I... I stand, (for nothing), not crawling, (by myself), not falling down
I... I bleed, (for no one), the demons, (but myself), that drag me down
I... I stand, (for nothing), not crawling, (the center), not falling down (of calms within the eye)
I... I'll bleed, (for no one), the demons, (but myself), that drag me down (for me and no one else)
