Need Help with themes for The Four Harbingers · 11:25pm Jul 22nd, 2014
I originally thought some OST's from Dark Souls suited them, but one of my friends wouldn't stop jabbing me with his, 'NO!' stick, so I decided to seek the help of a second party.
I need songs that would best suit each of the Harbingers:
Rath’gor, The Red Demon
Yol’gin, The Yellow Demon
Olf’ric, The Black Demon
Malachi, The White Demon
If it helps the search, take Rath'gor's appearance as a reference for his brothers.
when i think of the 4 harbingers i think of the 4 horsemen of the apocolypse and while they may be one in the same ive always liked the darksiders version of war and death
Cryptic, buddy. Let me be strait with you.
No one is going to help if you don't provide some actual detail on the characters. All you've got here is four names with their "titles". You can't just go off of that. Furthermore, I know you said "take Rath'gor's appearance as a reference for his brothers" as a way to help in the search effort, but there are two things wrong with it.
1. While you may have described Rath'gor's appearance in the story already, it would help if you describe him in this blog once again, on the chance that certain individuals haven't read that far. But this is just for that guy. It is highly recommended that you actually create the description for the appearance of the other three as well.
2. You CANNOT go and have this "search" based on appearance alone. Music produces more than just an image in your mind. It creates an atmosphere. A sort of personality of the mood it's trying to convey. None of these characters that you have listed have even a basic personnel bio attached to them, describing their habits, their temperament, their stronger emotions, etc, etc. If you want better results, describe your characters.
If you do not do this, no one will understand what you're trying to accomplish, and no one will help you properly.
You are a good writer. It's been proven, but this is something you are seriously overlooking. You can't assume your readers and friends know what you're going for.
No offence, but just the color they are associated with doesn't tell one much.
What 2308678 said, basically.
Still, if they are based on the four horsemen, I could guess.
War.
Pestilence. You know, since puss and all that 'good' stuff.
Famine. Could be switched out with the above depending on things, but meh.
Death. Since he is often pictured on a white steed, and the whole bone angle.
Am I close, or...? Becuse in that case I could indeed give some suggestions, but I'd like to at least know these bad-guys power-sets and similar before doing that.

OK.
War... it's almost has to be this song:
Don't think that one needs any explanation...
Alternativly:
Might however be too upbeat and proud sounding for a villain's song. Depends on what you're going for personality wise, I guess.
Death. This may be slightly on the nose, but I think this one could work:
Oppenhaimer's speech cut up and set to music. Your millage may vary thanks to the techno, but I doubt anybody would argue the imagery that comes to mind is anything but death centric.
Sadly no idea for Famine or Pestilence, though. Just not the type of music I tend to listen to.
