Usually when people talk about superb orchestrations on a metal album, they mention Wintersun - Time I or some of Epica's albums. While they are great, Dimmu's orchestrations are on another level. Beautiful part-writing, beautiful harmonies, beautiful overall execution. This could go straight to some film as a soundtrack.

Which music exactly are you talking about guys? I'm just listening to "Batman 1989 Theme by Danny Elfman" and don't hear much similarity.

Mustis....he knew Wagner, Mahler, Williams. This can def go into a Star Wars film. What a talent Dimmu had on those keys.

When they finally make a darker BATMAN movie for adult thinkers, they should remember to include this as a main theme.

@aFoxyFox.

Жыл бұрын

Could you tell me what your ideas would be for such a thing? If you have any. What do you mean by "adult" and "darker"? The reason I'm asking is that I think I may be putting together something right up your alley that would appeal to your tastes, except that it isn't Batman (because it can't be lol), but still in many ways actually Batman, connecting a lot to what Batman was based on and inspired by potentially, "The Bat" (and old Play based on a book, the 1959 film being a major key to it) but quite different from that as well.
