Im GM'ing a game of Heroquest next week and was looking for any ideas around background music I could use in the room.
Im looking for something eerie or very atmospheric. No lyrics/spoken word in it.

I found these as examples but they arent great in my opinion, quality of each track varies.




Has anyone ever used some atmospheric tracks when roleplaying?

Any ideas?

Nox Arcana has worked well for atmospheric music in my experience.

From what you posted this might do the trick Tim Hecker - Ravedeath

Some drama perhaps? Medieval synth music.

Thanks for the suggestions peeps, some decent tracks there.
I recalled this old one actually whilst trying to think others up. Any other ideas similar to it maybe? From games or tv or film?

Im looking for eerie ambience as opposed to a full "musical" track.

What could possibly beat the music from the best dungeon game of all time?

I don't know how you could play Heroquest without the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack on loop forever.
