Lord Marshal Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Let's break in this new sub-forum with some appropriately grisly, dark themes, eh? Background noise whilst painting Mortarion's Legion or epic pieces that capture the heat of battle, whatever might feel appropriate to them. Obviously the Souls series are great for grim, haunting, epic soundtracks but I think this one ties in well to the Death Guard, not only in the name of Neat-o, but in that slow, marching theme. Anything to do with the Scourge fits the Death Guard well (diseases, green sludge, zombies, death) but the title of this track in particular made it the most appropriate to use here. Edit: I also claim the first post/thread on this sub-forum. Glory to Nurgle!

Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Personally, I favour stuff like death metal and drone doom when I paint my pestilential lads. And of course, there's always the classics.

Isolia Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) For the classical side of things, there are a few appropriate ones I believe: Mussorgsky's Night on bald mountain (an arrangement of which became popularised by Fantasia) : Bartók, a fellow Hungarian who was probably more than by himself in his mind, also wrote some disturbingly precise yet almost dissonant pieces : https://youtu.be/m129k5YcQnU And naturally another compatriot of mine, Franz (or rather Ferenc) Liszt's Totentantz, or Dance of the dead, interpreted by THE master of Liszt's piano music, György Cziffra: There are many more but these are the most commonly known macabre pieces. (edit: I'm on mobile and don't know the code for video embedding so if an admin can fix it or someone tell me the bracket code I'll add it. Thanks) Edited September 16, 2017 by Isolia Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339423-death-guard-music/#findComment-4887693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadFingers Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) I've found that this one song tends to fit quite often with anything 40k. It just sounds appropriate. And for a glorious union of classical music, distorted guitars and some synthy goodness, the soundtrack for The End is Nigh. What is it with the Soundtracks for Edmund McMillen's games fitting 40k? I guess it's all the death and despair. And the tumors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEZ3x317jvE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG3yYK3lR8U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=444wCr62Byw Edited September 16, 2017 by DeadFingers Xin Ceithan 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339423-death-guard-music/#findComment-4887870 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuskRaider Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) When I think Nurgle, I think despair... there's countless symphonic music that is quite foreboding and dark that fits quite well. On a less classical scale, I've found blackgaze bands like Deafheaven or Alcest (or the aptly named Altar of Plagues) fit the bill too. I've also been finding myself listening to a lot of Dimmu Borgir while painting my Nurgle models, in particular the album Death Cult Armageddon. Symphonic black metal works.

Guidebot Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 For me, this epitomizes the Death Guard: Make his fight on the hill in the early day Constant chill deep inside Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey On the fight, for they are right, yes, by who's to say? For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know Stiffened wounds test there their pride Men of five, still alive through the raging glow Gone insane from the pain that they surely know For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls Take a look to the sky just before you die It is the last time you will Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery He hears the silence so loud Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg92QpjRcJk Reyner and Wayniac 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339423-death-guard-music/#findComment-4888838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebeard Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) I don't think there's no band which embodies Nurgle and the Death Guard better than Obituary: They are slow, rotten, dirty, evil, heavy and all their lyrics are about putrefaction, rotting, dying, infection. Even the band members themselves look dirty, unkempt and kind of oozy. Since they were among the founders of death metal and extremely popular in the 80s and early 90s I wouldn't be surprised if GW took inspiration by them for many of the elements in Nurgle. After all the chaos gods are heavily inspired by metal.

Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Only semi-related, but thanks to the various tools on the internet that allows you to combine or just play several youtube videos together, you can make your own little Death Guard experience. Some gothic church bells tolling, some war ambience, maybe some rain, and the buzzing of uncounted flies. Throw in some dirge chanting. Voila. Welcome to the warzone.

Listening to dark ambient compilations on Youtube can be a real inspiration. Chanting, wind, distorted electromagnetic space noise, rain, the distant cackling of crows... that stuff really sets the tone without interfering with my concentration.
