1Music/HiroyukiSawano, the man who brought us the soundtracks for ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'', ''Anime/KillLaKill'', ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' and ''Anime/GuiltyCrown'' is composing the music for this show, so it's almost guaranteed.
2----
3* The opening theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwfjS5CvedM "heavenly blue"]] by Music/{{Kalafina}}. Considering [[Music/YukiKajiura who's composing it]], though, it's no real surprise.
4* The second opening theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gMXEd49rbg "&Z"]] by [=SawanoHiroyuki=][nZk] and with mizuki on the vocals, is even more awesome, being a lament about the war between Earth and Mars.
5* The first ending theme, [[http://justanimemusic.tumblr.com/post/96780797828/aldnoah-zero-ed-1-a-z "A/Z"]], a beautiful and evocative song that fits the imaginary to a T.
6* The ending theme for Episode 4, [[https://soundcloud.com/isana-yashiro-7/aliez "[aLIEz]",]] was so good it was ripped and posted within ''30 minutes'' of the actual episode being simulcast. When THE [=F1RST=] TAKE invited Sawano and mizuki to do [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2brDsA1AVOY a one-take performance]], the maestro did what he does best with the piano, and mizuki's vocals made the rest history.
7* [[http://soundcloud.com/christine-vo-2/mkaliez "[=MKAlieZ=]"]], first used when the Landing Castles touched down in Episode 1. It's used again during Episode 4's battle with the Argyre. It takes an already awesome track, and turns it into a thundering blistering barrage evoking the feelings of "OhCrap", "ThisIsGonnaSuck" and hopelessness... and then the chorus kicks in, evoking BigDamnHeroes badassery.
8* [[https://soundcloud.com/christine-vo-2/bre-th-less "BRE@TH//LESS"]], used as an insert song for Episodes 3, 7 and 11.
9* Episode 7 also features a second insert song called [[http://akii19.tumblr.com/post/96771361655/aldnoah-zero-ep-7-insert-song-unknown-soldier "Keep on keeping on"]], [[spoiler:played during Inaho and Slaine's team up against the Hellas]]. Its emotional and exciting melody surely kept up some hearts while watching the episode.
10* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QofZKy9V31U "AZPV"]], incorporating as much orchestral grandeur as Sawano can muster. First used when the Orbital Knights declare war on Earth, [[spoiler: reappearing with the defeat of the Nilokeras, Argyre and the Hellas]]. [[note]]This is the same track used in the teaser trailer.[[/note]]
11* [[https://soundcloud.com/christine-vo-2/the-call-to-arms "The Call to Arms"]], which [[http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w474/CirnoCultist/calltoarms_zps87c655bb.png details the motivation of Saazbaum and the Orbital Knights]], making it clear they are not just in this ForTheEvulz.
12* [[https://soundcloud.com/christine-vo-2/no-differences "No differences"]] and [[https://soundcloud.com/christine-vo-2/al-c "AL°C-@"]] [[note]]Read as "Allusia".[[/note]] are two vocal songs from the soundtrack that were [[CutSong sadly never used in the first season proper]]. "No differences" eventually shows up in Season 2, Episode 2, when Inaho and Slaine duel: pinpoint accuracy versus precognitive evasion. The melody and lyrics of "AL°C-@" were used, however, for the special ending theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0OFIq4I17k "Harmonious"]], sung by Asseylum's voice actress Creator/SoraAmamiya.
13* The [[MemeticMutation GO GO POWER RANGERS]] battle theme from the Season 1 finale, [[https://soundcloud.com/legolapse/ch19-fire "Ch19FIRE"]]!
14* [[https://soundcloud.com/christine-vo-2/ad2014-7-5-7-9-0a "AD2014-7.5/7.9-OA"]] [[note]]2014 07-05 / 07-09 = ALDNOAH.ZERO's air dates on Tokyo MX and ABC respectively.[[/note]] was used for some of the more dramatic moments in the series, such as when [[spoiler: Count Saazbaum orders his troops to attack the United Earth Forces HQ]] in Episode 11.
15* All of the new vocal songs from the rearranged soundtrack, namely [[https://soundcloud.com/nicholas-kaunang/no-differences-a0v "No differences <a0v>"]], [[https://soundcloud.com/chandra-dian/the-call-to-arms-a0v-mpi "The Call to Arms <a0v>"]], [[https://soundcloud.com/aquanell/03-brethless-a0v "BRE@TH//LESS <a0v>"]], and finally, [[https://soundcloud.com/temenos7/4-mkaliez-a0v "MKAlieZ <a0v>"]].
