This in my opinion is the best track from Berserk. You knew something was wrong throughout all of the Golden Age. A dark undertone that built and built until it burst through with the most evil event in all of fiction, The Eclipse. A slithering evil that grew and grew with more and more death, faster and faster, fighting a battle against unwinnable odds with your friends dying in front of you. Most importantly the highest form of betrayal. This track is the definition of what Void was describing about causality. It foretold the doom that was to come from the beginning. Zod: “You cannot escape from your fate” This is a track that needs more eyes on it for Murder uniquely being a track of all buildup, its atmospheric qualities, and its storytelling. It is actually so good I before I was introduced to Berserk, created a situation like the Eclipse for a D&D campaign and planned it from this music. Imagine my shock when I hear what it was actually made for. Thank you very much for your reaction to this one and all the other Berserk songs

finally, the most berserk track of all of berserk. This track will always encompass everything that is the eclipse, the horror, the rage, fear, tragedy, violence, blood and gore, it means EVERYTHING. this track is nothing short of DEMONIC, sums up perfectly all that occurs during the eclipse.

This is the theme of tragedy.

I think the female singer is perhaps supposed to represent hope in a way, the will to try to survive. As I recall she begins singing when Judeu grabs Casca and takes off. There is no plan, there is just the natural impulse to run. Hope sings, but it is completely incomprehensible, it offers only token comfort. It is present perhaps only because they are in denial that there is hope. If they didn’t think there was a even a slim chance of escaping they would just crumble to their knees and accept their fate.

The tragic last stand of "The band of the Hawk." This track will forever haunt me as one the saddest ends to any anime. 😭😭😭😭

I absolutely adore Hirasawas music. Incredible

Absolutely my favourite song in the show, just hopelessness personified

Love your reactions to these soundtracks, This one is probably the most ominous of them, the bubbling effect might be to symbolise the part where griffith is in the liquid, during his transformation

it always reminds me somehow Enigma.Starts with something lurking in the dark and then it takes you deeper and deeper info the hell, layer by layer.

Yes, I have been waiting for a review on this song. Its beyond underrated and id say its one of the few songs that rival or even match guts theme in emotional value. It was the theme of the eclipse

When you pair the nasty drums with the spot in the anime where they play with all the beasts, in my mind they almost transform into singing growls. The monsters celebrating the Eclipse. Headphones give better clarity and help with your speech recording, but I feel the proper way to listen to _Murder_ is on speakers with a nice subwoofer so the bass sound can batter against your chest. I once listened to it laying down through my phone while it was resting on my torso and it was a whole other experience. It’s like the song is fighting to disrupt your natural heart rhythm. You can’t feel how truly suffocating it is when it is just being piped directly into your ear.

6:25 Nah Im gonna need to hear a long version of that remix. That is fire.

The struggle is real and this track says it all! I love how it builds continuously, and drags on like you’re trying to survive. Great video.

This song is the fight against the inevitable

Susumu Hirasawa's music is absolutely the most fitting of berserk. But, I do believe that Shiro Sagisu (who composed the music for the 2012 movies) also did an amazing job. I have both their music in my playlist. My personal favorite ones are Griffiths dream (both versions), Des Leins Solides, Avant la tempete, Blood and guts, L'Amour Impitoyable, after the battle, my brother, Hundred years war, The sound of tortured souls, and L'Avenement_06. A lot of them capture the medieval theme of berserk, contrary to the way that Hirasawa's music captures the otherworldly aspects. In a way I think they balance each other out in terms of the Full berserk soundtrack.

If ever there was a track to play when your back is against the wall, you have a horde of op enemies coming at you and you gotta survive, this would be it.

hey thanks for making so many berserk reviews! I like that song because it has such a raw feeling and brings up the pressure almost instantly !

Yes this is the Eclipse soundtrack. 1st 2.5 to 3 min also covers the visceral scene where the creatures gather and God Hand appear. My fav God Hand appearance is by Slan… she just rises up stark naked from a pile of heaving flesh and nightmarish beings falling around her as she keeps rising and rising up. Just dread. Truly dread but visually stunning.

the absolute depths of despair

"Horde of thisledown" is also one of the best pieces from Susumu Hirasawa. I don't know if its from berserk or not.

The vocals are like a requiem for the Band of the Hawk

This theme literally puts you into the mood of slaying apostles with your broomstick while thinking you're Guts! Freaking amazing 🗿🔥.

Thanks for reviewing this track. Love it.

Spot on bro it was the Eclipse

Susume Hirasawa is a god, i love each one of his track

Yeeeeeesssssss!!!!! Yess!!! Thank you!! This is the one I have been waiting for, to hear your thoughts on MURDER by Susumu Hirasawa.

Was this track based on Island Door? I know that Forces was a recast version of Take the Wheel. I'm only getting into the Berserk manga now.

I am completely in love with this song I am obsessed with the dread it inspires, I am not sure if there are lyrics or what language the singing is in but it is so beautiful

Guts vs Zodd Guts vs Boscogne The Eclipse

0:08 - 4:25 that's when some shii starts to happen, But at 6:58 damn that's when some real effed up shii starts to happen

Finalmente !!!! Lado B !!!

FINALLY AT LAST!

You are misinterpeting the sounds you call bubbles, it's not for the intent of making it sound musical, it carries much more weight in the symbolical aspects and the evil situation at hand. It's very specific and not unintentional for them to be there. The bubbles are the sounds inside Griffith's rebirth cocoon as he's being transformed and reborn as a member of the Godhand, the demon Femto. Not only can you hear what you call bubbles but you can also hear the streams of the rivers of blood from over 200 men being killed surging and being consumed by the 1000's of tormented faces on the ground moving all of the bodily fluids, flesh and blood straight to Griffith's rebirth cocoon! As the song progresses more and more blood is being surged and the intensity of Griffith's cocoon reaches its climax and he emerges out from his cocoon/egg, reborn, as the demon Femto. Those are the sounds in the song Murder, so they created this song for a very specific reason to depict and to bring to live the very evil and horrific event at hand.

dude you got to hear either a sisters story or Niko from sword of the berserk guts rage and i think you'll like them mate

This song is the Blood Boiling Rage of guts

Thanks for spreading such beautiful content, dude! I think "Berserk" from 90's has extremely deep soundtracks. Their atmosphere makes the show way more serious and natural, building the whole spectrum of positive and negative emotions, perfectly implied to the storyline. The thing is those dark and misterious themes are even more marvelous than other ones for me because of their artistic RARITY. They show us the reverse side of the medal, the foundation of beauty, the price of peaceful life and the fear of loosing all the world's gifts at once in absolute darkness, which is waiting for it's call every second everywhere around everybody. These tracks give us a chance of being awarned about wrong steps in future. They underline the meaning of steady, secured, quiet and comfortable for new inventions and achievements condition of the existence, the part, which is also stated in this series by "Earth" and "Guts theme" motives. So basically those fearful nasty layers bring us the loveliness of hopeful lines in quite complex, unique and, as I see it, pretty realistic way of interpretation. That's why I love these OST so much. By the way "Clannad", "Zankyou no Terror" and "Ping Pong The Animation" are quite strong at musical accompaniment too. Well, some other titles also have amazing instrumental compositions 😅. Highly recommended to get familiar with: 1) "Yukinohara" ("Snowfield"), "Nagisa", "Roaring Tides" (both versions), "To the same heights", "Town, Flow of time, People", "Illusions", "Shining in the Sky" from "Clannad"; 2) "is", "von", "lolol" from "Zankyou no terror" ("Terror in Resonance"); 3) "Ping Pong Phase 2", "Night cruising", "Like a dance", "Hero theme (Full Ver.)", "Sweet pain", "Tenorahiwotaiyouni" from "Ping Pong The Animation"; 4) "66 steps", "Don't Look Behind (Requiem version)", "Tear Drops to Earth" from "Black Lagoon"; 5) "Date", "Twilight" from "Kimi no Na wa" ("Your name"); 6) "YuujinAkunwo...", "Again" from "Your lie in april"; 7) "lvs (var)", "lit (var)" from "Koe no Katachi" ("The Shape of voice"); 8) "Licht und Schatten", "Das zweite Kapitel" from "Tokyo ghoul"; 9) "Last train home" from "Ano Hi Mita Hana No Namae O Bokutachi Wa Mada Shiranai"; 10) "isla" from "Plastic memories". I truly love and highly rate every track, which I mentioned before. Well, series may not be so good. Hope to see your reaction with analysis of those musical masterpieces, Atlas, you're doing great stuff!

Fascinating that your Remix could be straight out of Darks Souls III, Bloodborne or Elden Ring while the Souls Series is strongly inspired by Berserk. The Erdtree from Elden Ring is a prime example. And the second phase/part with the female voices is so Shin Megami Tensei demonic. This is an absolute amazing track.
