Usage rights - please read: I’m posting the usage rights and important information about my music right here in a comment on every new video so that they’re easily accessible to everyone. =) USAGE: If your project (any project at all, movie, photography, websites, live shows etc.) is non-commercial, which means it doesn't earn you any money, then you can use my music for free. Only given credits are necessary, that's the only condition. Credits would be totally fine as a small text in the movie, website etc. written "Music by Adrian von Ziegler". In live shows and other projects where including a text would be difficult, an oral mention would suffice as well. =) On KZfaq and twitch you can also use my music for free even if you monetize your videos by the way! ANY school projects have automatic free permission to use my music, no license payment is required. If the project is commercial, meaning it makes money in any way (except KZfaq and twitch, see above), you would have to buy a license for the music you want to use. The license payment would be small in almost all cases except for big budget productions. It would be a one-time payment, so you can use the music you bought forever in that project. It does not give you any rights over the music however, so remixing the music, re-selling it etc. is not allowed. Giving credits is also necessary in commercial projects. Please note that "for free" only applies to the usage license. Music is my full-time job and is where 100% of my earnings come from. So no matter what you use my music for, whether it's commercial or non-commercial use, I appreciate that you purchase the music instead of downloading it for free. Many people misunderstand this part so I need to clear this up. I love making music, but if everyone would just get it for free I would not be able to pay rent, so please understand. It was always my dream to make enough money to survive with music being my only job, and that is only possible because of people who go and buy that music. Remixing, sampling and other forms of altering the original song into a new piece of music is also generally not allowed unless the remix is 100% non-commercial and labelled with the original title and author of the song (me). Adding bird noises, nature sounds or similar things are allowed. Nightcore alterations are also allowed while non-commercial and labelled with original title and author (Google "Nightcore" in case of confusion). So if your project is non-commercial or a KZfaq project, just give credits and there is nothing holding you back from using my songs. ANY song you want. =) If it's commercial stuff just write me a personal message or an email at adrianvonziegler@gmx.ch and inform me about the scale and details of the project and we'll make a deal. REQUESTED MUSIC: I have recently made a very good experience with collaborating with other artists and am now - carefully - open to requests. Please note before sending me a request that any agreement will have to assure me a high level of control and independence over the composing process and certain copy- and intellectual rights over any composition that has been created on request (this entails for example that I can still upload and sell any music that I composed for a given project). Important: I do not allow my music to be used in any project that has a clear political, racist or discriminatory message or is pornographic. By that I mean anything that goes from direct political, racist or discriminatory videos or underlining speeches with my music, onto remixing my melodies into a song that has lyrics with clear political, racist or discriminatory message and similar things that clearly promote these things. Same goes for explicit pornography. Media with nude art is allowed, if not pornographic in nature and purpose. I hope you're having an awesome day, and thanks a lot for being interested in my music! =)

This song's origin is based on two things that kind of coincided. In the Fantasy book that I'm working on there is a character, a being that suffers from its own existence but cannot die. I then saw this amazing artwork of Chris Cold and used it to express that emotion in music. Btw, the book is not coming anytime soon, I'm sorry.^^ I know it seems like an eternity, I'm working on it since 2013. But you will understand why if the day ever comes on which it is actually complete. xD You can get the song here, together with all my other music, the song number is 305: adrianvonziegler.bandcamp.com/album/the-complete-discography You can also support me and my music directly on Patreon if you wish: www.patreon.com/AdrianvonZiegler

A being who suffers under his own existence but can not die. Like a vampire who belongs to eternal damnation. Is there salvation? Probably not. You express the suffering feeling of the being with the music very well!

Man... I've been meaning to write this comment for a while now. And seeing how you made this music based on a character from the story you're writing, I think this is a good moment for it. Adrian, thanks a lot for all the amazing songs you've made. I too am a fantasy writer and I cannot express enough just how much help your channel has been ever since I discovered it. I've grown used to always have one of your songs playing on the background while I work on my story and I seen to always be able to find just the right song for every chapter I write. If I ever publish my book (and I certanly intend to) your work will have played a big part in it. Thanks a lot!

Adrian, your music is so deep...

Great Song

well this is so dark and i love it

He just stood there in the pale moon light wondering what had just happened. Everything he knew was gone, the once most strong of his kind, now just stands there over their bodies. He is now cursed to walk this earth knowing what he had done to his friends and family.

This is the type of music I listen to when I need my space

That was such a deep and emotional song. I clicked on it as soon as I saw it. I'm always so excited to see you've posted something new.

I can definitely feel the pain that this composition embodies. A feeling of a somber existence. I definitely see why you decided to share your music. It's definitely powerful.

*flashback from dark souls intensifies*

I have been listening to your playlist since the last one hour and what an hour it has been. ❤

The reason im subbed since years. You just deliver awesome stuff all the time

As always, over the top. Surperb, Adrian!

I love the way you layer your music

I adore all your music! This piece is brilliant as per usual it makes me feel the being's eternal pain that your writing about. This music is so exquisitely darkly melancholic that it almost makes me cry! Keep up the great work!

This melody express that emotion very perfectly..great work and thanks for sharing it.

Adrain's expression in music is deep and fantastic !! One of my favo composers.

I love that, this music is very amazing. Great Work

Beautiful and hauntingly evocative composition, Adrian. Thanks for sharing it with your many Fans (your own personal "Wolf Pack"). Work on your book at your own speed. Creativity cannot be hurried. I have no doubt it will be worth waiting for! Blessed Be.

reminds me of the way ive felt at times...seeing and knowing there is a creator..of myself and the world without and within me, yet feel so deserted...and like this being...i stand on a rocky peak with a glare in my eyes i look up to the skies...why have you deserted your creation? Of course this is a strong emotion...I know better now

One of your best works!

Alright I'm convinced.. definitely going to buy your book when it comes out, Adrian, please announce it when you do !

Whoa that is some great pieces, your work is stunning !

So far from what you've said about your book and some of its characters i'm really excited. I'm not a huge book reader but you got me beyond interested, as long as it takes we shall wait patiently for it :3

incredibly scaring well done adrian !

today its my nameday! and u upload this beautiful song.. its like a gift to me... thank u Adrian!! have a nice week

OMG, I FREAKING LOVE THIS!! Keep up the ever so awesome work!! :)

I play this music when I play my Undead army on the tabletop. It really screws with my opponent.

Again a great masterpiece, thx Adrian! Sad that it's impossible to like more than once.

Such an amazing piece of music, thank you.

The music is sooo good with the picture

I love your dark music and this song sounds amazing! :)

This music is incredible I like the super dark and depressing feeling almost like I can feel this creatures pain as it suffers in endless agony. Great job Adrian.

Got some serious flahsbacks from Chrono Trigger in the beginning of this piece, but than the direction changed going to some very dark places. Awesome as always!

I am so obsessed with it ! 😍

It's so pretty! It's like, just creepy enough to send a really off putting mood but its still feels real

My heart is pulsating !

Awesome! It has a Frankenstein vibe to it, plus love the picture that you chose.

Love it! Definitely one of my favorite types of music

Thank you

I wrote a poem once, called, "The Spell of Ira Ferox Mortis", and This song has always worked best when I read it aloud...It adds so much too it...Very Enjoyable...Thank you for your skill and craft.

Just Love This Song!!

Thank you. Adrian 😊

This is so relaxing... please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that...

Beautiful

Magnifique sound!!!! Thank you Adrian!!!!

Thank you so much for the awesome music you produce and make. I am a DM for D&D and I play your music, along with other amazing artists, to set the mood for my players. This song fits perfectly for the antagonist they are approaching who has spent the last 5000 years trapped in the space between dimensions, and has finally returned to become a god and remove the other gods from power for being, in his own words, charlatans, murderers and thieves.

As usual, amazing composition! - On a philosophical note, I do sometimes wonder if we are essentially in a kind of prison for the very creative, contrary and violent, living visceral chapter after chapter, endlessly with but moments of beauty, wonder and love...

love this type of music

It's amazing!!!

I love it!

This is awesome

Amazing, keep it up !!

nice work!

This is a lovely piece of music :)

*Hello darkness my old friend*

I love your music your talent! I added a piece you did to a Quote About Betrayal To Describe How it Feels.

Magnifique~

This song is Adrian's best in recent times.

Deep in the dark

Siempre a sido unos de los KZfaq favorito míos, Me a gustado su música que es mi favorita, poses un buen talento. Muchas gracias Adrian von Ziegler. :)

I love it

Beautiful and gorgeous as always! I personal got a sorta Beauty and the Beast visual in my mind, except it didn't end happily and the Beast now wanders the castle in solitude, somehow having been given eternal life along with the beastly appearance. All his servants are fully transformed, it's just him all alone, but sometimes he still talks to them and is losing his mind. I like closing my eyes and imagining things like that with your music. See what world and fantasy it envokes in me. :P

Great Stuff!! Keep UP the GOOD work!! :D

Interesting music, Adrian. I too try to make a character for my fanfiction, a Death Knight from World of Warcraft, who does suffer from his existence. This may actually be my favorite Dark Music that you've ever done.

Walk home alone in a dark and at night while this plays on the background

very nice man

Echt stark - Gänsehaut!

Sounds like a soundtrack for a film......great music......

Really nice dark emotion!

I like this one.

Great 😊💪

Epic.

Endlich wieder etwas aus der "Dark Music" Reihe! Gelungene Arbeit Adrian! Ich mag vorallem die Dark u. Emotional Music Reihe! Alleine deinen 4Stunden Mix höre ich so oft. Wird es da demnächst auch wieder einen ähnlichen langen Mix geben? Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland!

Nice one

The faithless must submit, there is no other path

Love it

really good dark musik

Sounds like it was inspired by Vampiria of Moonspell and it is awesome!

Es increíble tu trabajo saludos desde México 👍

Thanks ;-)

100% respect from BL. Du bisch de beste componist wo ich gseh han, dini music isch einfach so geil

Fuvking awesome

Hey, Adrian, I've been watching The Expanse recently and was reminded of your space music (Pluto, I believe it was) so I think it'd be pretty cool to make another spacey song at some point.

It makes me think of that character in the 2nd Thor movie. I think he was called "The Cursed" or something.

Wow

I deeply empathize with the feelings of whoever this creature is.

sooooo niccccccceeeeeeeeeee!

Nice ! Please, is it possible that you put this (and the playlist?) on Spotify ? It will be awesome !

Hi. I'd really appreciate it if u could show how u produced one of ur musical pieces for others to see cheers

I love listening to your music, and I am wondering if you have any that are based on Star Wars at all?

Nice song! I love it 🖤☠️👍🏻

This should be my alarm for Monday morning

What do you think about adding annotations to your book which suggest some of your music pieces for certain chapters so the reader can truly immerse in your narrative intentions?

This sounds so familiar

I just can't choose my favorite ! all your musics are a lot better than human brain can imagine ! everything is so fucking good ! I just ! Just ! AAAaaah ! (404 error)

Oh my dear depression ! Hello again old friend !

great track! reminds me on "Rhapsody in Red" from Dave Clarke...very similar. But you composed in your own way.
