Finally someone who speaks it out. Thank you. They should have taken something of Volbeat, maybe Temple of Ekur.

The song is awesome!

And then u recommend Volbeat instead? Made me laugh. xD

And what made me laugh is your twitch channel. Gaming auf Sächsisch. In this case i prefer the cheesy title song of Dark picture.

It's cheesy and bad but that's kinda the spirit of the series we know and love.

How has this theme song survived four games? It's terrible in every possible way. Absolute trash. Total garbage. I dread starting each new game because I'm afraid I will have to hear it again and my ears will bleed. Please make it stop forever. Please. Devs, I'm begging you.

Hey there - to clarify, are you referring to "A Conversation With Death" by Khemmis, that plays over the Curator's introduction sequence?

Can you describe, in more detail, what you dislike about this song if so? Many other fans love it, so this opinion seems quite controversial, and I'd like to make sure I understand your perspective fully before forwarding your feedback!

The lyrics and vocals mainly. So cheesybad.

I also don't like it. But mostly because I don't listen to metal or whatever music style that is

it just doesn't fit to the game at all. I would take random creepy horror music over this one

I like it and it is a good choice.
Especially the lyrics match pretty good with the Anthology

but its the signature song of all the games so far and i dont think anything else could top the intro but i will say its a bit over the top but then again fits the series.

Do you have any examples of songs or lyrics alone that you think would be more suitable for the games?

As above, do you have any examples of songs or styles that you think would work better with the games? Would you prefer an instrumental piece, or a vocal piece as is used already?

On reflection, just removing the random screaming overlaid onto the intro song would make the whole thing much less cheesy. Not *good* but much less cheesy.
As for a better song, I dunno, something similarly faux-traditional but without slow sludgy pace-killing guitars and warbling.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!?!?! The theme song ALWAYS hypes me up!

It’s alright. Little too folk sounding for my taste though.

khemmis is an amzing band. and a conversation with death is an amazing song as well, it perfectly fits this game series whether the games are good or not, personally the music is better than most of the games in the series

I mean, I like the song. Also, did yall know its a cover of a folk song from the 19th century?
O Death Wiki [en.wikipedia.org]
Had a history buff friend bring it up without ever having heard this version \ played the games. Pretty crazy!
