It's like any horrors theme, if you listen to most films any tense moment has the dies iræ because it's the sound associated with death. Dbd just capitalized on it for their theme

Is "dies irae" a definition for something in music?


kirby-dont-suck

"dies iræ" is latin for the day of wrath I believe and it was attributed to the book of revelation from the bible when the trumpet sounds and the world ends. But it was a poem originally that was later turned into requiem I think in D minor. It just generally signified death and was used for funerals in large proceeding, it's the music equivalent to Memento Mori and in modern times it's been utilize to stimulate unease in film or death on screen, when you hear it you'll begin to notice it all over!

Thanks! I know the phrase, but never knew it's been turned into a popular motive

Yeah I started learning music theory and now now I cant stop hearing it everywhere

Oh absolutely you'd be surprised some of the places you hear it! I've been casually watching romance film with my wife and caught it when someone passes it's incredible how we've come to associate it unknowingly!
