Just like the title says, link or list your ideal song that u think would fit the ambience of dishonored and tell us why.

Here's mine:

And here's why: Cuz its sorta dark like dishonored's setting is, the title, I'll be gone, resonates with the fact that this is a stealth game and by the time the enemy knows what hit them, I will be gone. And besides that its an awesome track. Your turn...

Nothing LP related would fit Dishonored. They were great once because they were innovating with their sound. Their lyrics were meh with juvinille themes thrown in it. It's not dark as well, they can't make a dark sounding song anymore because they don't get their own music. Sad really.

Problem is, even if I go deep into my list of songs I won't find anything that sounds remotely fitting because if it wasn't designed with the game in mind. Either clean piano or distorted string can work well with wind swirling effects and cold soundscape. Anything else just won't work. Some instrumental bands or one of my musician friends might be able to do something sounding like that but you really need a lot of effects and skill with odd instruments to recreate the eery sound.

Disturbed - Haunted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzBg4UyRT2g
Nonpoint - Left for You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AP45_H7uLI
Three Days Grace - Chalk Outline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMsRVBhG14k

Those are some of my favorite songs listening to now that are close to dishonored., well that would go good with a dishonored music video.

Holy hell dude that Disturbed track is right on point! And I'm really digging it in general! The lyrics are perfect for dishonored's ambience

Yeah surprised no one has made a amv of it using that song yet.

Agreed, an LP would not fit the in game soundtrack, but like I stated it WOULD fit its ambience...keep'em comin guys

Not really but whatever floats your boat.

Me too...hmmm thats actually not a bad idea infact

Mmmehhh, nah I think it would, but your entitled to your opinion dude

Hi there! I read this forum often but never post. I found a really cool underground band recently that could fit Dishonored.
Here is Giant Squid:

Organic, doomy, marine, emotional...

would this fit?

I'm not sure it the setup of the song fits Dishonoured: too many rocking guitars. Mind you, I'm not really into rock, so maybe that's the reason.

I described objectively why it doesn't. You can take it or leave it. I guess I have no more business in this thread.


Acoustic is better to recreate the sound I was hinting at and Bastion proved that. So yeah you're totally right.

I can't find the link I provided in a similar topic (or the topic for that matter), but there's a song that exists that sounds and has lyrics that make me think Dishonored.

The Mariner's Revenge from The Decembrists on the album "Picaresque. I tried to make the link not from the mobile site but it didn't work. If this link is problematic, type in The Mariner's Revenge Song and click on the Animated Comics version.

It sounds like a story straight from this game.

Edit: I wanted you guys to see the lyrics.



"The Mariner's Revenge Song"

We are two mariners
Our ship's sole survivors
In this belly of a whale
It's ribs are ceiling beams
It's guts are carpeting
I guess we have some time to kill

You may not remember me
I was a child of three
And you, a lad of eighteen
But, I remember you
And I will relate to you
How our histories interweave
At the time you were
A rake and a roustabout
Spending all your money
On the [censored]s and hounds
(oh, oh)

You had a charming air
All cheap and debonair
My widowed mother found so sweet
And so she took you in
Her sheets still warm with him
Now filled with filth and foul disease
As time wore on you proved
A debt-ridden drunken mess
Leaving my mother
A poor consumptive wretch
(oh, oh)

And then you disappeared
Your gambling arrears
The only thing you left behind
And then the magistrate
Reclaimed our small estate
And my poor mother lost her mind
Then, one day in spring
My dear sweet mother died
But, before she did
I took her hand as she, dying, cried:
(oh, oh)

"Find him, Bind him
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole until he
Wakes up naked
Clawing at the ceiling
Of his grave"

It took me fifteen years
To swallow all my tears
Among the urchins in the street
Until a priory
Took pity and hired me
To keep their vestry nice and neat
But, never once in the employ
Of these holy men
Did I ever, once turn my mind
From the thought of revenge
(oh, oh)

One night I overheard
The prior exchanging words
With a penitent whaler from the sea
The captain of his ship
Who matched you toe to tip
Was known for wanton cruelty
The following day
I shipped to sea
With a privateer
And in the whistle
Of the wind
I could almost hear
(oh, oh)

"Find him, Bind him
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole until he
Wakes up naked
Clawing at the ceiling
Of his grave

There is one thing I must say to you
As you sail across the sea
Always, your mother will watch over you
As you avenge this wicked deed"

And then, that fateful night
We had you in our sight
After twenty months at sea
Your starboard flank abeam
I was getting my muskets clean
When came this rumbling from beneath
The ocean shook
The sky went black
And the captain quailed
And before us grew
The angry jaws
Of a giant whale

(oh..)

Don't know how I survived
The crew all was chewed alive
I must have slipped between his teeth
But, oh, what providence
What divine intelligence
That you should survive
As well as me
It gives my heart great joy
To see your eyes fill with fear
So lean in close
And I will whisper
The last words you'll hear
(oh, oh)

I apologize for that huge block of black. I'm not saying it would fit in this game. This song just reminds me of Dishonored. I really should have said that at the outset.
