Electric Wizard Satanic Rites Of Drugula
She's Lost Control (Joy Division) - the classic Gothic-Punk song from one
of the darkest albums (Unknown Pleasures) in modern music history, this song is
ideal when the player faces frenzy, particularly frenzy from one of the character's
tragic weaknesses, when she has no Willpower left and the Beast is rising fast.
Bela Lugosi's Dead (Bauhaus) - So obvious it's a clich, but you can't not put
a song whose chorus is "Undead, undead, undead" on the list. Probably the
classicVampire song, although I still like "She's Lost Control" better.
She's In Parties (Bauhaus) - Toreador having a bash? Turn on this one. The
moody, elegant/grungy music and the depressing lyrics convey the ultimate futility
of the undead haute couture and their desperate quest for beauty in a decaying
world.
Inside the Termite Mound (Killing Joke) - One of the best "The city is a
stagnant, industrialized hell" songs ever written, this song is ideal for groups of
Kindred walking around the deserted, rusting industrial parks, crumbling slums,
faceless corporations and stagnant malls of a Gothic-Punk city. After hearing
this, Kindred might well not care about their feeding habits anymore. From
Extremities, Dirt and Various Repressed Emotions.
Blood & Family (Liers in Wait) - Liers in Wait is a local death-rock band native to Atlanta, so you may not be able to
find this in your area, but if you can find the album (Spear of Destiny), snatch it up. "Blood & Family" is an all-out musical
assault, a mixture of metal, grunge and techno music ideal for Sabbat havens and the like.
I Remember Nothing (Joy Division) - Another cut from Unknown Pleasures, this song is best reserved for when the
characters have lost something important (a friend, their self-worth, a crucial fight, or the last vestiges of Humanity) and
are wallowing in a nihilistic stew of meaninglessness. Possibly the most depressing song I have ever heard - the bass sounds
like the countdown to Doomsday and the glass shattering at the beginning and end of the song evoke a sense of desolation
and futility like nothing else.
Vacancy (Scratch Acid) - Probably containing the best drumming I have ever heard, this song about slow, creeping
insanity merges a razor-edged garage-style guitar over a dark and sweeping keyboard. Perfect background music for capturing
the gradual disintegration of Vampire society - the lies they tell themselves in order not to face the terrible truth they
subconsciously know exists.
Police Truck (Dead Kennedys) - Wanna get your Anarchs good and mad and ready to stake and bake the Prince, the
Primogen, the Elders, the Inquisition, the Lupines and the Methuselahs behind the whole mess? If this song doesn't
motivate your Troupe to get up and kick some Fifth-Generation butt, they really are walking dead. FromFresh Fruit for
Rotting Vegetables.
Lucretia My Reflection (Sisters of Mercy) - If your city has a dance club catering to Anarchs, this one'll be playing
inside. Every 15 minutes. The throbbing dance beat screams night life and easy blood while also conveying the ultimately
mechanical and meaningless aspects of the whole scene. For all I know, Andrew Eldritch is a Vampire - he sure looks like
one. From Floodland, an all-around great album for this genre.
Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division) - A poignant, dirgey cry of desperation and need, this song is both beautiful
and depressing, and makes good background music for failed relationships and the like, such as when a Kindred's mortal
lover discovers her true nature. From Substance.
Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age (Holst) - From Holst's symphony The Planets, very few pieces of music are as shockingly
gloomy as this. With this slow, crawling soundtrack in the background, the players will truly feel Damned.
A Forest (The Cure) - So they wanna go Lupine hunting out in the great outdoors? Not after they hear this one. The
throbbing bass and lost, reverberating vocals will paint a rather unpleasant picture of the wilderness ("Suddenly I stop/But
I know it's too late/Lost in a forest - all alone"). From Seventeen Seconds.
Three Imaginary Boys (The Cure) - Eerie. From their first album (Boys Don't Cry), this song evokes pictures of leering,
deserted houses and silent churches covered with gargoyles. Robert Smith's voice, crooning in the middle of the gloomy
strumming like a demented child, ends on a plaintive "Can you help me?"
Fight Fire with Fire (Metallica) - From the classic thrash album Ride the Lightning, this song is fast as hell and a must for
gory combat or Diablerie ("Do unto others/as they've done to you/but what the hell is this world coming to?")
Three Days (Jane's Addiction) - When the long dark night of the soul is finally over, when the crisis of the Vampire's
humanity has passed - for better or worse, or when Golconda is finally attained, play this. Great for coming down off really
hard and tense scenes - this song isn't necessarily happy, but it evokes the peace of resignation nicely. From Ritual de lo
Habitual.
The Last Beat of My Heart (Siouxsie & the Banshees) - A relaxing yet still haunting song, this is a good first song to
StoryTeller 135
play in a session, right when the players are waking up and watching the sun go down and the shadows lengthen. From
Peepshow.
Kerosene (Big Black) - Another industrial wasteland/Anarch song, it also conveys the stagnation of Vampiric life and
futility of struggle ("Nothing to do/But sit around at home/Sit around at home and stare at the walls/Stare at each other and
wait till we die"). Good for conveying a mood of senseless violence, such as when two factions who should be working
together are manipulated into conflict. From Atomizer.
Danse Macabre (Saint-Saens) - Another classic Vampire song, the slow, plaintive beginning, gradually picking up into
a whirling crescendo, is ideal for Nosferatu gatherings and Toreador balls alike; the cockcrow at the end will also remind
your players of their eternal enemy, the sun.
Cracked (Jesus & Mary Chain) - THE song to play at Malkavian clan gatherings, this song from Barbed Wire Kisses
features a crunching drone in the middle of a feedback whine like ground glass and ominous vocals that break into a
reverbating insane wail at the end.
Shadowplay (Joy Division) - Yet another song from Unknown Pleasures, the dirgey bass drone carries this song into
gloomy realms of locked doors and unfriendly, staring buildings. Good for building a mood of lurking doom.
The Three Shadows (Part 2) (Bauhaus) - If you can ignore Peter Murphy's comical mispronunciation of the word
"Oedipus," this is a really twisted and scary song. Ideal for really eerie and vile parts of the city, as well as when the
characters meet an Elder of the Sabbat face to face. From The Sky's Gone Out.
I Don't Want to Push It (Sonic Youth) - Desperate and brittle, this is the one to play when the characters are falling
in over their head and are starting to freak out; Sonic Youth is one of the weirdest bands around in terms of playing style,
and is guaranteed to keep your players on edge. From Sonic Death.
Body Count (Ice-T) - The ultimate Anarch song next to "Police Truck." The unrelenting lyrics and speed-metal guitar
will whip your Troupe into a frenzy of combat and bloodsucking, hopefully directed at the Elders this song castigates. From
O.G. Original Gangster.
Trapped Under Ice (Metallica) - Combining manic emotion with a sense of hopelessness and impending doom, this
song will frustrate your players to no end if they are staked, in torpor or otherwise imprisoned. From Ride the Lightning.
Day of the Lords (Joy Division) - This one is from Unknown Pleasures as well (hell, just play the whole album - it's that
good). Slow, droning and ominous, this one epitomizes Gehenna, the Jyhad, and the return of the Antediluvians. Good to
play when the characters finally realize to their horror that they've been manipulated by a Methusaleh all along, and now
she's thirsty
Headhunter (Front 242) - A song from one of the best techno bands around today, Front 242's "Headhunter" will get
the characters into predatory mode. Almost cyberpunkish, the mechanical, fluid rhythm lets the characters merge into the
crowds of the Rack looking for that special someone ("One: you lock the target/Two: you bait the line/Three: you slowly
spread the net/And four: you catch the man").
Paranoid (Black Sabbath) - One of the first heavy metal songs ever written, and in my opinion the best. The crunchy
riff and whining distorted guitar is ideal for an Anarch adventure, the despairing, suicidal lyrics about the loss of humanity
are suitable for any Chronicle. The line: "Happiness I cannot feel/And love to me is so unreal" perfectly captures the tragedy
of Kindred existence. From the album of the same name.
Tin Omen (Skinny Puppy) - A great song for Vampiric battles in an urban hell-zone, this song combines techno/
industrial grunge and a classic punk bass beat. The insectoid, screeching vocals are also sinister and unnerving.
Will We Survive? (Swans) - Like most Swans songs, deep, sweeping and utterly hellish - if you were to peer over a
bottomless abyss, this song is what would be floating up out of the depths. Good for building tension - something always
seems about ready to happen, but not quite. From White Light from the Mouth of Infinity.
Marian (Sisters of Mercy) - From the Sisters' first album (First and Last and Always), Marian is a moody dirge about
emotional collapse and lost love - themes running through many a Vampire Chronicle.
The Drowning Man (The Cure) - A stark song devoid of hope, the flat, sorrowful vocals and wall-of-sound ending
depict a world slowly sliding into oblivion, which is, perhaps, what will inevitably happen to the Kindred in the long run. A
good song to end an adventure with, just to remind them what they are - Vampires, bloodsucking parasites will almost no
chance to avoid the Beast. From Faith.
