* From the DLC, [[https://youtu.be/ALbVEmzY5S4 "Ludwig, The Accursed/Holy Blade"]] plays during your fight against the eponymous Ludwig; the first half, dubbed "The Accursed", is a harrowing mix of oppressive brass and frightful choirs, fittingly enough for your opponent's [[AnimalisticAbomination terrifying appearance]] and [[TragicMonster circumstances]]. Once Ludwig regains his sanity and musters the full power of his beast form with the help of the Moonlight Blade, the orchestra blooms into an even more intense piece, with the chorus violently lashing out as you're forced to dodge the boss' flurries of {{sword beam}}s. The music switches to a time signature of 3/4, a ''waltz'', it's TheLastDance for Ludwig. As a BilingualBonus, the OminousLatinChanting actually provides accurate and grand Latin lyrics which perfectly describe Ludwig's situation in both halves of the epic battle:

* [[https://youtu.be/Rej1lAt5VRU Laurence, the First Vicar]] retakes the melody of Cleric Beast's theme, cleans it up, and adds a OminousPipeOrgan track into the mix, making the male vocals more ominous as they just keep going through the track. This theme plays during the DLC's BonusBoss fight, who turns out to be a significantly stronger, flaming Cleric Beast.

* [[https://youtu.be/Rej1lAt5VRU Laurence, the First Vicar]] retakes the melody of Cleric Beast's theme and cleans it up, making the male vocals more ominous as they just keep going through the track. This theme plays during the DLC's BonusBoss fight, who turns out to be a significantly stronger, flaming Cleric Beast.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Crk_GpxGQE This trailer]] features what has to be considered the offical theme song of ''Bloodborne'', the Hit House's own "Hunt You Down", featuring Ruby Friedman. The haunting, prophetic warning of this song isn't from the beasts' point of view, but the hunters'.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A75Bhbhm0Os "The Night Unfurls"]], the main menu theme, sounds very ominous, yet beautiful.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EISe-WdZYE "The Hunter's Dream"]] is a hauntingly beautiful piece for the eponymous safe area in the game.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICSk8-pJkX8 Cleric Beast]] is a very intense track for the first boss fight of the game, and it becomes increasingly demonic halfway through, complete with beastly shrieks.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA614N3IHD4 Father Gascoigne, The Hunter]] captures the tone of the boss fight against Gascoigne extremely well: the song becomes more frantic and chaotic as it continues playing which perfectly mirrors Gascoigne's descent into beasthood during the fight.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvUmL8uaE48 "Blood-Starved Beast"]]. Similar to Gascoigne's theme, this perfectly captures the tone of the fight against the eponymous Beast, especially when it starts attacking in a much more frantic manner as the fight progresses.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCg5Ymh8c7M "The Darkbeast Paarl"]] is a quietly tense piece of music featuring strings and a choir, well-suited to your fight with an [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot ancient electric undead werewolf]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BncJ1yX-BgQ "The One Reborn"]]. It begins soft, yet tense, but slowly crescendoes and becomes more ominous as the song goes on. It fits incredibly well for the fight with that [[BodyHorror thing in the courtyard]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBMhwWN_088 Micolash's Theme]], which does an excellent job of conveying the sheer insanity of the man you're fighting.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PajtbXEK9cc "Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos"]] sounds like something out of an above-average ''Final Fantasy'' soundtrack.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uKdU19drsw "Lullaby for Mergo"]] dispenses with the epic choirs and orchestras for a lone, vaguely sinister (though gentle) tune from a music box. The melody itself is maddeningly catchy and serves as a surprisingly quiet soundtrack to defeating the Nightmare itself.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V9zxXN1rx0 "Gehrman, The First Hunter"]] is a slow and sad-sounding melody that captures the atmosphere of the battle with the final boss, Gehrman, perfectly.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNLCAwJ-nkY "Moonlit Melody"]], the theme that plays whenever the player is in the Hunter's Dream after revealing the Blood Moon or while having 50 Insight, is a soothing song that makes the player feel at ease.
* From the DLC, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALbVEmzY5S4 "Ludwig, The Accursed/Holy Blade"]] plays during your fight against the eponymous Ludwig; the first half, dubbed "The Accursed", is a harrowing mix of oppressive brass and frightful choirs, fittingly enough for your opponent's [[AnimalisticAbomination terrifying appearance]] and [[TragicMonster circumstances]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiboHWwr12M "Living Failure"]] plays during the fight against the [[SuperPrototype prototype Celestial Emissaries]]. It resembles a mix between Seath's theme from ''VideoGame/KingsField'' and [[PublicDomainSoundtrack "Mars, Bringer of War"]] by Music/GustavHolst.
* Another track from the DLC is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rdt5XNvPkc Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower]] which plays during the fight against the eponymous Lady Maria, the person that the Plain Doll is based on; the song has three parts, with each one becoming more intense and frantic than the last as Maria grows more and more desperate to keep you out of the Fishing Hamlet.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rej1lAt5VRU Laurence, the First Vicar]] retakes the melody of Cleric Beast's theme and cleans it up, making the male vocals more ominous as they just keep going through the track. This theme plays during the DLC's BonusBoss fight, who turns out to be a significantly stronger, flaming Cleric Beast.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahfb7M7jYvA The Orphan of Kos's theme]] has two parts. The first contributes to the atmosphere of the beautiful desolation of the moonlit beach upon which you fight the poor, wizened child, and the second amps up the intensity to go with the Orphan's even more psychotically aggressive second-stage moveset.

[[AC:Fan Made]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su-okKLGPXM "Bloodborne "Gehrman, The First Hunter" Remix" by gvgkid]] is a cool rock rendition of [[spoiler:Gehrman's final boss fight theme]] with a Western-sounding twist.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzdd_dCFqVU "Moonlit Beast"]] a remix of the Cleric Beast theme by Alex Roe, which opts for a much quieter and atmospheric direction, mixed with "Dark Reality" from ''King's Field IV'' and strangely, Beethoven's ''Moonlight'' Sonata. And it works surprisingly well.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW0lIRUChac Cleric Beast Theme "Epic Rock" Cover]] by [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkRByFN6eWfRjUH0MajJhBw Little V Mills]] is a... well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin an Epic Rock Cover of the Cleric Beast Theme.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzjso0dt-tM Father Gascoigne Theme "Epic Metal" Cover]], again by Little V Mills, which covers the theme of Father Gascoigne.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RM7MPrEdjw Gehrmans' Theme "Epic Rock" Cover]] is another cover by Little V Mills that differs from the Cleric Beast and Father Gascoigne themes by having a suitably somber beginning with some acoustic guitar that turns epic. It never loses the somberness, but the heavy guitar climax also highlights the sheer power of the First Hunter. "Gehrman joins the hunt" indeed.
* [=RichardEB=] has powerful and intense metal covers of [[https://youtu.be/m3hfdTicKhE Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower]], [[https://youtu.be/o-IucQeSc1g Cleric Beast]], and a particularly exceptional take on [[https://youtu.be/2sPrUSu3iz4 Gehrman, The First Hunter.]]
* [[http://youtu.be/8eSrmSsz7mQ Paleblood Moon]] by Music/MiracleOfSound, which manages to capture the sheer oppressive brutality of the games story with large drum and brass sections complemented by church bells and what seems to be a ''full choir'', as well as the softer moments relating to the Hunter's Dream and the Doll that are denoted by light violins and music box melodies [[spoiler: It also manages to sneak some subtle clues in about the Moon Presence and the true nature of the Great Ones and the Hunt.]]
--> Paleblood will guide your way, embrace the changes and be consumed/Bleak bells that chime dismay/Echo the cries of the [[TitleDrop Paleblood Moon.]]
* Miracle of Sound and Aviators team up four years later with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0P1hhFt-nU A Thousand Eyes]] to create an epic symphonic metal song. With verses seemingly from the perspective of Gehrman and Willem with plenty of references to the story. Combining Gavin's unique style with Aviators voice and plenty of CallBack's to Paleblood moon including when the melody changes to the original song, this a song worth hunting down.
--> And the cogs creak a melody, Hear the deafening dirges rise/And the ones who would never be/Behold the end with a thousand eyes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHZVBv6mdFU "Never Wake Again"]] by Music/JTMusic is a cool song with a catchy chorus and reflects how much "blood" is important in the game.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ4Xg5aUBTE "Undone By The Blood"]] is another remix of [[spoiler:Gehrman's battle theme]] that goes for a quieter spin to the original in contrast to other remixers that makes it's unique blend of melancholy and subtle menace stand out all the more, with nonetheless plenty of points where the sound swells and encapsulates the glory of the original.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8VHIvluRNQ "Fresh Blood"]], with its ominous, military-esque marching beat is very creepy and ''very'' cool.
* Alex Roe has composed three entire ''albums'' inspired by the game, ''Night of the Hunt'', ''Borne in Blood'', and ''The Blood Moon''. Standouts from each album are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG7LX8BHCJY "Dance of the Blood-Drunk"]], an ode to the [[DecadentCourt hedonistic Cainhurst Vilebloods]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukywVcxv5r4 "Beckon a Foul Beast"]], which makes use of an oppressive orchestral sound and a haunting OneWomanWail, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zavOzHgPznI "Half-Turned Drusilla"]], a somber and tragic piece along the lines of Maiden Astraea's theme from Demon's Souls.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzitycpTrEU "Lords of the Hunt"]] by Dragony is a melodic metal Bloodborne tribute from an album of the same name. Sounds like a triumphant recruiting song by the hunters, referencing a lot of the major themes without explicitly revealing major spoilers.
* {{Music/Aviators}} has composed four songs inspired by ''Bloodborne'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0J2ZUg5dSY "Wake Me When It's Over,"]] a gothic rock theme for the Hunter; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYdxC6AEKz4 "Here Come The Ravens,"]] a rock ballad sung by Lady Maria, lamenting her actions, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqdyyxdZ4cQ "No One Will Save You,"]] a hauntingly tragic plea from Father Gascoigne, begging his daughter to stay safe in the endless night, and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK81rdKkrIM Outside]]", Gilbert's lament as he succumbs to the infection in the darkness of his room, wishing he could look at the sky one last time.
* These 8-bit/chiptune remixes of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9vwIHBJaHA Lady Maria's theme]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NLAtLs7RdA Ludwig's theme]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAw5Ew6-Rhw The First]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKdN15ILMt0 Hunter's theme]] are quite a delight to listen to.
* Youtuber Geoffrey Day brings us a remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CmYGBO-6as&ab_channel=GeoffPlaysGuitar Ludwig, the Holy Blade]] that sounds like the theme to the battle between the Doom Slayer and Ludwig. AND IT IS GLORIOUSLY HARD AND HEAVY!!!

As with its previous installments in the series, ''Bloodborne'' boasts a soundtrack that is composed by a mix of Western and Japanese composers: Ryan Amon, Tsukasa Saitoh, Yuka Kitamura, Nobuyoshi Suzuki, Cris Velasco, and Michael Wandmacher. All performed with a live orchestra. And it is ''awesome.''

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNLCAwJ-nkY "Moonlit Melody"]], the theme that plays whenever the player is in the Hunter's Dream [[spoiler:after awakening the Blood Moon and before defeating Mergo's Wet Nurse]], is a soothing song that makes the player feel at ease.
