Today I would like to present music from a videogame called “Dark Souls”. It was released in 2011 and was well received by both, the press and the gamers. What stand out is it difficulty level, which is just brutal, unforgiving and ruthless. The back cover of the game says “prepare to die” so really, what can you expect? And why music from a videogame and not just form an album? It think that a lot of people don’t appreciate this form of entertainment, categorizing it as childish and utterly useless. I find it completely wrong because we can find examples of games that could be considered art. Putting that aside, let’s concentrate on music. It was composed by Motoi Sakuraba (Japanese musician, arranger and compositor) and reflects the game atmosphere tremendously well, although it appears mainly during boss fights. Without further ado, here are two tracks.
