Awesome Music / Hellsing Ultimate Abridged

Go To

  • The series opening, "Party Party Party", doesn't play In-Universe until Episode 8, but it perfectly describes Alucard, a Chaotic who does more or less what he wants and is only held back by Integra's control over him. It also isn't used as an intro after Episode 4 because, as Kaiser and Taka put it, Alucard is gone so the party is over.
  • As soon as Episode 1, when Seras goes on a Ghoul-killing rampage, we get a short but sweet snippet of Rob Zombie's "Feel So Numb".
  • In Episode 2, when Seras goes on another Ghoul-killing rampage, Rob Zombie's "Dragula" fires up.
  • In Episode 2, when Alucard releases Restraint Level 1 against Luke and blows his legs off, we get a terrifyingly awesome snippet of the Colossus battle theme from God Of War 2. To say it fits Alucard's more monstrous side is an understatement.
  • Appropriately enough, as Alucard is exiting the hotel in Episode 3, the music is from the original Hellsing TV anime series: "Left Foot Trapped in a Sensual Seduction," used to punctuate his ruthless and one-sided battle against the soldiers.
  • When Alucard crashes the god-damned Blackbird into Rip Van Winkle's ship, it's to "Shoot to Thrill" by AC/DC.
  • When Alucard kills Rip Van Winkle in Episode 4, we get "In The Hall of The Mountain King" (the version used in the movie The Social Network). It emphasises the fact that Alucard is not a nice person, despite being the hero, and that Ms. Rip Van Winkle is going to have a bad time when the music reaches its top speed. And when it does... "Bitches love cannons".
  • And in that same episode, the end of the Major's "I Love War" speech is accompanied by Gustav Holst's "Mars, the Bringer of War". It starts at the beginning of the speech and rises to the awe-inspiring crescendo of "duuuuh duuuuh (duh, du du du duh duh), duuuuh duuuuh (duh, du du du duh duh)" while the zeppelins are outlined in front of the blood red sky caused by London burning.
  • The Nazis decide to invade London while listening to "War" by Edwin Starr. The irony is completely intentional.
    Major: Zhe accompaniment has been zelected via zurvey, und I hope you're as exzited as I am! The zong tonight is most appropriate for... ironic reasons. Zhe best reasons! But first, a toast... to zhe anzwer of an age. Old. Qvestion.
  • Father Alexander Anderson's Big Damn Heroes plus Rousing Speech plus Curb-Stomp Battle underscored, magnificently, by the Dropkick Murphys's "Shipping up to Boston". And, in the museum, Anderson's "Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling..." speech is accompanied with an instrumental version of Sean Jenness' "Written In My Face", also known as the former entrance theme to WWE's Sheamus.
  • In Episode Six, Seras gives Millennium's blimp a proper Hellsing welcome to "Dies Irae" from Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem.
  • Episode Seven gives us the already awesome moment that was Seras's utter annihilation of Zorin and her troops and proceeds to make that even more so by, once again, having it backed by Rob Zombie, with "Living Dead Girl" being the song of choice.
  • Episode Eight has Maxwell's unholy massacre kicked off with Mozart's version of the Dies Irae.
  • Episode Eight's credits run with an Anderson-themed parody of Hamilton song "Alexander Hamilton" featuring the HUA vocal cast. Lucky for everyone, Team Four Star parodied the whole song: feast your ears upon "Alexander Anderson". Youtube version here.
  • Episode Eight also uses "Ready to Die" by Andrew W.K. as the soundtrack for Alucard's grand return to England. And series theme "Party Party Party", also by Andrew W.K., for Alucard's slaughter of both Maxwell's army and the vampire Nazis. The best part is that since both songs sound quite similar, the first seamlessly transitions into the second as though they were part of one song. The use of "Party Party Party" is also a Call-Back to Episodes Two through Four, where it was used during the title sequence.
  • Episode Eight also has "Name of God" start playing once Anderson reveals Helena's Nail, building up as Alucard and the Iscariots freak out and hitting the peak just as he or rather, God finishes his prayer absolving Alucard. Even before that, Anderson's fight with Dracula starts to "Stoning", the theme of Schwartzwald. It's not difficult to see the similarities between those two both in their relationship to the protagonist and their popularity among the fans.
  • Episode Nine once again delivers another round of Rob Zombie for Seras against The Captain in the most innuendo-laden fight this side of Alucard with the appropriately named Werewolf Baby!, and it is glorious.
  • In Episode Ten, when Girlycard is going on his final rampage against Walter, the music is a Gothic orchestral version of the main theme "Party, Party, Party" complete with Ominous Latin Chanting of the lyrics.
  • Episode Ten's ending theme, and of the series as a whole: a cover of "Shine" by Mr. Big, the ending theme of the original Hellsing TV anime series, performed by Lanipator. It's already a great song and Lani sings it fantastically. It's also a great song to end an entire series on and express gratitude to those who've been watching since the beginning.
