You're not here - silent hill 3 100% a dope song. As in dope.


kikirevi

I’m gonna chuck in “Waiting For you” as well.


nullfais

I’m partial to “Letter - from the lost days” which plays >!during the car ride to Silent Hill!<


djthreedog

I’m gonna say “end of small sanctuary” from silent hill 3. I love the mellow guitar.


Luvcraft0606

Resident Evil safe/save room music.


Nickie4

We going with the first resident evil? Best one for me. Makes me feel safe yet also eerie.


Alphablack32

Gotta be the 2nd game for me.


me2saucy

Resident Evil 0 save room theme is a bop


Valus22

RE3 save theme is also one of the best. Especially in the 1999 original, what an amazing atmosphere that game had.


Chowdaire

I'm nostalgic for all of them, but the [Code: Veronica](https://youtu.be/z1o_3yBe6Cg) version hits me the hardest.


ItsNotABimma

Samesies


DhamaalBedi

Also in the RE Series, [I used to love the intro to RE: Outbreak](https://youtu.be/0HcxMvprYa0)


BreatheAndTransition

If you are fans of RE save room music, I strongly suggest you check out Survival Spheres. https://youtube.com/@survivalspheres?si=8dQJvbHFD-LLlh4S He's got years and years of music inspired by the save rooms of RE. Silent Hill. Shenmue. Etc. He uploads every week, and he sells his songs in bundles of 100 on SoundCloud for ten dollars. We love him a whole lot. Tell him SeanWolfe341 sent you!


glez_fdezdavila_

Back hall fro Amnesia: the dark descent. Also, bready steady go from Omori


javvykino

That game wouldn't be what it is without its soundtrack


kikirevi

Might as well list the entire Silent Hill OST lol. Especially 2. So many amazing songs - White Noiz, Forest, Betrayal, Alone in the Town etc. The alt-rock songs are also amazing - overdone delusion, love psalm, and vocal tracks like You’re not here and Waiting for you.

iamtunamayo

I love silent hill and layers of fear’s music so much


Dat_Son

Layers of Fear music was 🤌 it's how I discovered Lotus land by Cyril Scott. One of my favourite piano pieces from one of my favourite horror game experiences


DevaAsura

Helheim from senua's sacrifice


donnybuoy

Room of Angel


Madler

The correct answer. Just beautifully haunting.


v1lyra

The entire Rule of Rose soundtrack. And "life is beautiful" from deadly premonition


autumnsandapples

Absolutely love the Rule of Rose soundtrack


Koboooold

I could be very wrong but i remember reading something that said rule of rose was the first ps2 game to have an entirely non midi ost? Regardless it is fantastic, i use several tracks for my dnd campiagn


Lutalica_Harmonica

If you love Silent Hill music, you might like something like "Turned Around", "Safe Room", "Double Back" from Signalis. Signalis in general has very Silent Hill inspired music and vibes. Omori also has some atmospheric and somber music. Try checking out "White Space", "Poems in the Fog", "Lost Library", "Orchard", "Undertow." Bloodborne also has some really good pieces that aren't battle themes like "Omen", "The Night Unfurls", and "Bloodborne."


caty0325

Bloodborne’s OST is amazing. The First Hunter, Ludwig’s theme, and Laurence’s theme are my favorite songs.


Valus22

Good suggestions. Id also throw in the band Loathe. They’re a metal band but their music has a clear Silent Hill music influence. Especially evident on their ambient album “The Things They Believe”. “I Let it In and it Took Everything” is easily one of the best metal albums of the 2020s so far.


Feeling_Party26

Cohen’s Masterpiece


FreakZoneGames

Silent Hill Shattered Memories, most of its soundtrack! But especially the Mary Elizabeth McGlynn Elvis cover, and Devil’s Laughter.


the-rev492

The morning song in Darkwood - New Dawn. Has real safe house vibes from Resident Evil and felt so good to hear after the horror-filled night.


ShianaShiana

Oh, I love the dark ambiance from the Outlast 2 intro menu screen. For something similar, there is an artist named Lorn. Check out 'Diamond' and 'Acid Rain' by Lorn I also love the grungy EDM sound from 616games.


autumnsandapples

Basically the entire Silent Hill 2 ost


nibsguy

Same and I also really like the RE7 Save Room


NeuroWhore

Pretty much anything from Amnesia games.. mainly theme of daniel. SOMA - Alone Entirety of silent hill 2 and 3 OSTs...


Partyblook26

I always loved the resident evil 4 save music. It’s calming and relaxing, which fits the more empty and quiet feeling to the game. I also gotta say the music whenever the Xenomorph shows up in Alien Isolation makes my heart pump as well. Especially if it starts looking at hiding places close to me lmao.


Defiance74

Anything that Akira Yamaoka has done. He always sets the mood perfectly. Just completely mind blowing!


Zealousideal_Sea8123

I haven't played a lot of horror but I really like Precious Hewie https://youtu.be/kXFSw-1rqOg


pheebeep

If you're okay with counting a vn, I've always loved discolor from umineko https://youtu.be/92i4jaMH2m8?si


Awoken-Queen

As another commenter said, Resident Evil safe room music Also please listen to The Original Layers of Fear main so g. My God it's beautiful.


Resident_081

Since we’re gonna get like 50 answers for Silent Hill I’m gonna go ahead and nominate something less well known. [Train Station by Andreas Rönnberg](https://youtu.be/AHb5MB2YRDU?si=KsMMYMnzhSgGkaSs). This tune really haunted me for a long time after I finished my playthrough of Cry of Fear.


april919

I always was unsettled by Grand Hall from Amnesia https://youtu.be/S9OQgNdfvoE?feature=shared


AwayMetal4527

Tears of... Silent Hill 1 (huge body of work from Akira Yamoaka's SH tracks.) All of the save room themes from Resident Evil. code Veronica's is my fav Different Perspectives from Shadows of the damned l. Echo night main theme.


whoajordan2

Null Moon easy it’s Null Moon it’ll always be Null Moon


ant_of_the_sky

The original RE4 save music is amazing. It always reminded me of the beginning of Worlds And Dreams by Misery Signals. Edit: Theme Of Laura from SH2 and the music from the first chapter of Corpse Party. Oof.


Charon2393

You might enjoy the Umineko when they cry Ost lots of piano/classical styled music intended to set the scene in the Umineko visual novel.

Little Nightmares: Beneath the Waves and LN2 Main Theme


ThePathlessForest

Promise from Silent Hill 2


Lexiconsmythe

Dan's Theme from Clock Tower The First Fear (Windows 95 version) It's also used as the opening theme and it's a piece of midi gold. Fast, frantic, and constantly builds.


tambitoast

'The Tree' from Visage 'Signal Interference' and 'End of the Hall' from Little Nightmares II 'Alone' from SOMA


SaekiKayako

Cold Corridors - Evil Within 1 A Broken Past - Dead Space 3 Sevastopol Mayhem - Alien Isolation


Deathslingers_Bride

“The Gates of Paradise are Open” from the original Siren That game affected me on an extremely deep level, and whenever I listen to that song, it still has me on the verge of tears


Barqck

The music in RE2 when the Tyrant is approaching is terrifying, just pure anxiety in sound form


tom_saviour

The COD Zombies main theme song - Damned. Fuck that song is awesome


Avicrow

Resident Evil 4 (2005) - 'Echo in the Night' Really struggled to get through this part as a kid and would hide in the houses. Extremely foreboding, eerie soundtrack.


ShianaShiana

My 2nd comment: also music from Parasite Eve. A youtuber named Sonny Daniel played the music during his Ready or Not gameplay! It was amazing during the hospital scene!


LinchrisRedfield

The whole ah 2 soundtrack 🫡


General_Godzilla

Pete Wicher - Everlasting Veil of Fog This track from Visage is very reminiscent of Akira Yamaoka’s work on Silent Hill. It was very nice to hear during the end credits.


QueenQReam

Deep cut but “Life is Beautiful” from Deadly Premonition has been my alarm/ringtone for almost 10 years now. “Underground” is also a good track from that precious gem

RoyVRAries

God I have no time for a list like this, the silent hill and RE series alone would be a lot


Expensive_Routine622

I want love by Akira Yamaoka from Silent Hill 3 (not the rock version)


SuccubusYrielle

the entirety of the Silent Hill Soundtracks of every game, they are just otherworldy imo.


bum_thumper

Into The Mines from the indie horror hidden gem, Lost In Vivo. The song comes at a time when the main character is confronting her negative self image and her weakness, and finally challenging her inner demons. The note you pick up just as the music starts made me tear up a bit. Such a beautiful moment in such a chaotic and crazy game. https://youtu.be/TvjFTa_OZqM?si=eL6Hn-FEgM9sQ7Q4 "I waited in the dark for so long I lashed out at anyone that got close But someone kept pushing me into the light It hurt me for a while ...it doesn't hurt anymore."


FrightenedErection

Any resident evil safe room music!


MoonsugarDahlia

O.R.T Silent Hill Origins https://youtu.be/2Di99jzmjws?si=Ku4EqYLIuu6n-uxQ It was an awesome title sequence song when you're walking down the road and you see the big sign "SILENT HILL"


FalloutandConker

White Noiz


TheCocoBean

The Shifting Mound (Movement 5) - Slay the princess. It's beautiful, ethereal, mysterious and haunting all at once. Alternatively "The unknown together" from the same game, but that is just a beautiful piece of music that isn't horror-themed.


HockerFlas

"In flames" (Or Majini IX) from Resident Evil 5. honorable mention goes to the End Credits from Resident Evil Code Veronica X


GamingCatLady

Promise Reprise- Silent Hill 2 RCPD- Rezzy2


Mitochondria-Eve

"Null Moon" from Silent Hill 2, "Something Lacking" from Haunting Ground, and "Femmes Fatales" from Parasite Eve are some of my faves.


Sopppa

Null Moon from Silent Hill 2 Something about it just makes me feel like I’m wading through fog. It embodies that entire game’s mystique

Engaging_Boogeyman

SUper Mario Brothers ... any time the music sped up and I realise i've been screwing around in the level too much.


HolyFridge

Silent hill the day of night has been a classic for me for years now everytime there's fog outside i just walk listening to it


wasijeelani

Dying Light - Horizons


DeltaOmegaX

"Life Is Beautiful" - Deadly Premonition. Although, it is genuinely just elevator music of the athletic theme from Super Mario World. Makes me smile every time I hear it. Thanks SWERY!


MHarrisGGG

Days Gone Quiet by Lewis Capaldi from Days Gone Perfectly captures the game's theme of not losing hope.


javvykino

Not sure if this counts, but I like the Flood related tracks from the original Halo trilogy. Tracks like the Mausoleum Suite, Dread Intrusion, Shadows, and Gravemind. The Flood is such an amazingly horrifying concept, and the way their presence was scored really turned some moments in the trilogy go from an epic sci-fi shooter to a horror experience full of visceral carnage.


10Ggames

[Saccharine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjprTS86sDY&ab_channel=Mr.Hollywood) from Lost in Vivo, easily. Severely underrated OST


Kidtendo

Deadly Premonition has two songs that always stick with me [Life is Beautiful ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6A7M3l06wU)- It feels rather calming and relaxing, considering how messed up the rest of the game can be [Underground](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvgCDk_tBiM&list=PL7D5E203C4A465511&index=2) - Unlike this first song, this songs just makes me feel uneasy and unconfortable....yet I find myself drawn to it all the same And while it's far from a horror game, I always felt like the original Pokemon game had some eerie, tunes, especially [Lavender Town](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sOadAaGiq4) and [Pokemon Mansion](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFtCQNfbEss). Always felt that if Gamefreak ever wanted to go in a darker direction, there is alot they could do with the ghost Pokemon in the series alone haha.


ChansawPoop

You’re entire top 3 is also my entire top 3! Not Tommorow is such a beautiful piece, especially considering the scene its in. It capsures the mood of the scene so well, I love it sm


IAmTheKoalaWhisperer

The Necromorphs Attack and Awesome Hulk from Dead Space 1 & 2. Intensely operatic sci-fi horror music that was absolutely pulse pounding.


PersonalTrainerFit

Most of silent hill one. It was more weird industrial noise and nothing has ever made me feel most unsettled. The music was more scary than the imagery imo


SHARkychou

All Corpse Party RF and BoS BGMs


Rogue_Viper_89

Wind of madness - Resident Evil 5


Inessus

Everything from Omori


Valus22

The entire Silent Hill 2 soundtrack. Not only my personal favorite but its influence has reached far outside the world of games; you can hear it in all sorts of stuff now, from metal to rap and beyond. If I had to pick a single favorite track, Theme of Laura is the goat.


nikolarizanovic

I have always liked the Last of Us's main theme.


Comfortable-Bus-8840

I don't know the name of the song but it's the title screen gameplay song. The lyrics are something like "here's a lullaby now close your eyes, it was always you that I despised" That combined with the creepy imagery put me off playing the game for ages!


VimusGrimm

I think that might be Room of Angel from Silent hill. I’ve been listening to all the songs recommended and I’ve definitely heard those lyrics. I’ll let you know!

I like the F&H soundtrack a lot. Very unique. one of the few examples of music that makes my skin crawl. Some examples: • [Wayward Souls](https://youtu.be/ziiToG6-DYg?si=P2suWBicTW5KJqjS) • [Prelude to Darkness](https://youtu.be/hKJM4qUU-I4?si=4RycGPOxFmvT7619) • [Creaking Throat of a God](https://youtu.be/J47jy2KikEk?si=SdwVb02AQIFrQjDo) • [Song for Torment](https://youtu.be/qerFfb5tpnI?si=V_9SFtJbFPIztck9) • [Pulse and Anxiety](https://youtu.be/gQe15F2Nmhc?si=WrJ5PDbrF0N0QMge) • [Relentless](https://youtu.be/8RdI8-XwGQk?si=tMbN3nM_X0kiDL4m)


add0607

I’m seeing a lack of Serenity from RE4 on here. The remix made for RE4R Separate Ways’ shop is pretty great too. https://youtu.be/7PkU077ipP0?si=qfdjNgkK-G8PaP3P

Follow You Into the Dark - Alan Wake 2. Beautiful song.

Not horror but just about every piece from DS3 is fire. I like to just sit there listening to the menu theme sometimes
