Big Silent Hill fan myself, also a big Akira Yamaoka/Mary elizabeth McGlynn fan ( seen them live twice ).

This one, Hole in the Sky, is from Origins and is one of my favorite vocal tracks from the series. So much so, that I learned to play it on multiple instruments and performed it live at cons with my old band.

Akira Yamaoka also did the soundtrack for Contra: Shattered Soldier, which is a departure in sound from SH, but great none the less. Here’s a couple tracks, but I’d recommend the entire OST.

Venus ( Contra:SS Theme )

Survival of the Fittest

To keep with the heavy theme, this is my favorite track from Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2, and one of the best metal game tracks I’ve ever heard. I love using this one in projects or just listening to it while I work. Totally fits the theme of punching people and having their heads explode in a mess of gore and macho martial arts badassery!

The Souls/Bloodborne games are some of my all time favorites, and this includes some amazing and memorable scores. Here’s one from each game.

Maiden Astraea ( Demon’s Souls )

Knight Artorias ( Dark Souls )

Majula ( Dark Souls 2)

Iudyx Gundyr ( Dark Souls 3 )

The Night Unfurls ( Bloodborne )

This track from Castlevania:Lords of Shadow definitely sets the mood for a village beset by Lycanthropes.

This haunting theme hints at the underlying tragedy and sadness that is a consistent theme
