Sagisu uses electric guitar multiple times in the score, and at key moments when Guts shows up in a scene, or to add emphasis to some already intense music. Shiro Sagisu’s score jumps right into the darkness from the beginning opening with chaotic percussion, stopping briefly with a short moment of plucking acoustic guitar and then jumping back into percussion madness accompanied by electric guitar. The full album’s track details are available on the Video Game Music Database. The opening theme song “Inferno” has really grown on me, the expert rapid guitar riffs at times had me air guitar plucking more than once.
The album runs just over 75 minutes and contains the opening theme by 9mm Parabellum Bullet, two songs composed for the series by Susumu Hirasawa, and the closing theme and score by Shiro Sagisu. Read on for my thoughts on the latest Berserk musical experience. However after watching Berserk last year, and listening to the music as it played in the series made this an album I could not pass up. I am very familiar with the musical history of the series and actually passed on buying the scores to the trilogy of films by Shiro Sagisu. I have seen the original low budget Berserk anime TV series, the three Golden Age Arc films, played the Dreamcast game and read the manga up to volume 36. In all of the reviews I came across, none had much to say about the music in the series. The new Berserk TV series aired its first season last year to mixed reviews due to its use of a cell shaded 3D animation technique.
