"Souls of Fire" from Dark Souls on the PC (2011)
Composer: Yuji Takenouchi
Album: No Official Release
Developer: From Software
I originally chose this song as it's one of the few songs from Dark Souls that isn't about some gargantuan demon trying to disembowel your already dead husk of a body. I also chose it because of how much it reminds me of the "Safe Haven", the music that plays in the safe rooms from Resident Evil.
"Souls of Fire" was composed by Yuji Takenouchi whereas the rest of the soundtrack was from Motoi Sakuraba, which is probably the reason why the song is not available on any of the Dark Souls soundtracks (thanks to the /r/DarkSouls sub-reddit for this bit of information). The song plays while selecting which file you want to play from or how you want to distort the face of your character and that's it. The rest of the game, you have music for a few specific areas and for when you find yourself confronting some monstrosity of a monster. The rest of the game is atmospheric noises. I thought that this would be a good place to showcase this little bit of music that is so different from the rest of the soundtrack.
That's really all I have to say about "Souls of Fire." It's a pretty song in an otherwise bleak setting, which is a great way to start of the game.
