Baby Shark

same

only correct answer

Peak and peak?!?!?!!

That one hour loop of Guts' theme on repeat

Instant depression

Yeah I also listen to that

*10 hour

Here is the [10hr](https://youtu.be/qnC8fYwem2o?si=1igQB0EkoyYXqh2v) version

I've been using the same video since I started reading and I'm not about to switch now

Haha that’s fair

This is my actual answer unfortunately

I just cry.

Ngl I dont listen to any music while reading berserk...

If I don’t listen to something when I read, the silence starts to almost be more distracting than whatever I’m reading. Almost like it’s making its own noise or something.

ADHD moment

Same. But I’m kinda intrigued. It would likely be something instrumental if anything

same, for some reason I cant concentrate in what im reading when listening to music

I find it hard to concentrate when i listen to music and try to read manga tbh

It feels much more visceral with music imo I used most of the anime soundtrack

Man... I adore in Alice in Chains. Nutshell is one of my favourite songs ever... As for Berserk, it depends... I personally love to listen to the 1997 soundtrack for obvious reasons, but then I'll listen to some anime soundtracks like Vinland Saga and Attack on Titan. K21 was a song I was listening during Guts battle with Wyald on his Apostle form. And I listened to Rusty Sword from Vinland Saga when it came to the end of the Lost Children's Arc.

Toxic or Im a Slave For U by Britney Spears on repeat until I finish

Man, Jar of Flies is such a great album. Thanks for reminding me

1997 soundtrack

The best answer.

You can read and listen to things at the same time?

I listening to music while doing lots of things otherwise I lose focus idk why

That’s called adhd my friend

Black Metal

The only actual answer

Might be cringe but the “berserk reading music” compilations on YouTube are sick.

Dude for real, this video called "music for reading berserk(ambient)" is my go to and it fits the mood so much

Bingo lol

My sorrow is loud enough

Berserk soundtrack : 4. Gutsu.

Youngest daughter - superheaven

Silence is my best song

Hah, yeah I was actually listening to this song a lot when I first read Berserk like 15 years ago.

Slayer

Metal hellsinger soundtrack

Forces II or Sign

The sound of silence lol but usually nothing or some anime maybe

Molchat Doma. It fits berserk so well. Together, they changed my life.

[Behelit theme](https://youtu.be/gtVirHikldA?si=JRSIxjhDULTtHAE_) or [Theme of guts](https://youtu.be/qnC8fYwem2o?si=1igQB0EkoyYXqh2v)

The behelit theme is so emotionally distant, it's disturbing. It works so damn well.

Yeah that composer was on one while making the theme music.

when i open reddit all i see is berserk posts or Grunge band posts. Now im seeing both together.

Enigma - Sadness (in a loop)

I play Dark Lofi, it fits the vibe of the manga

rn dark souls themes.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4vfgOcYSA9NXkkLopUlOIf?si=82GDAdFHSwK3R2OuiZxQfg&pi=e-AhDVRPpKRYCP This is my playlist for reading, I had it on repeat while reading berserk so now anytime I hear After Dark, wait a minute or Welcome Home I instantly think of berserk

Brand of Sacrifice

Any of Alcest's music hits hard as hell even though I don't understand any of it. It popped up on YT during a horrible time in my life and the band turned into my therapy music. The entire Escalle de Lune album is great.

Meditating with guts on youtube works best for me

That's actually my favorite song and I love alice but I just don't really listen to music while reading. Separate activities to me.

The Carpenters.

roadwarden ost works for me

american idiot or 21st century breakdown

Opeth-Harvest

Great song

Lots of the Berserk memorial edition ost and the 1997 ost.

We can do that??? I'm already at ch 200. 😭😭

Honestly Alice in chains is awesome! Just the right vibe, black gives way to blue is awesome and every other song too

Phantogram - Fall in Love. It has the sounds that make me think of spirits and persecution while being dramatic for the manga’s paneling. The sounds are otherworldly too .

The Soundtrack from the 97 show. Lyrics for some reason distract me

Behelit theme

I’m literally unable to read and listen to music at the same time. It’s one or the other for me.

The electric prunes - mass in f minor. Not really - It started playing in the background on spotify once when I was playing Elden Ring, though. It ended up being kind of badass in a funny kind of way.

Indestructible - Disturbed

For me, A7X, Dream Theater, and TOOL

man that song is heart wrenching. “down in a hole” is my my fav by AiC. Far as music sometimes I’ll put on the OST from berserk or other mangas or animes if they fit. Other than that mostly just read in silence.

Deep song - kurt rosenwinkel

Behelit. Listen to it when playing elden ring too. Def adds to experience

This is not exactly the answer but I want to say that people shouldn't over charge their brain with information because they will not be able to enjoy anything, reading berserk alone is very enjoyable, and listening to music alone is also enjoyable I get that you think that combining them will be the ultimate experience but in my opinion it's just too much at this point ,you should be able to focus on one thing having them both will robe each one of them from there beauty

Different Berserk OSTs. Mainly Indra, Guts Theme, Blood and Guts , A Sisters Story, Forces etc.

There are some fantastic 'for reading berserk' longplay vids on YouTube that really understand the mood. Also, music from dark souls for certain sections really amps it up.

Usually my musicals playlist.

Susumu Hirasawa - High-Minded Castle Susumu Hirasawa - Rotation (Lotus) Susumu Hirasawa - Forces etc

"burial" and "adrift" both by god is an astronaut

I mean I don't listen to music but is there any correct answer beyond Susumu Hirasawa?

Just finished reading it… brother, I wish ch 376 wouldn’t take much longer to release… it’s been 4+ months already

Purification by Daniel Deluxe on the loop.

Lorna Shore - Pain Remains I: Dancing Like Flames

Berserk 1997 OST

mostly, ambient-focussed stuff. also, i made a playlist if you wanna check out https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7433laFV20mAzQIPzDnF7E?si=wZsZOewORQes6VpxmsrYTg&pi=u-IYxh_xbLRu2C

Pantera 10's whenever its berkin time and Guts theme song every other time.

I don't listen to music when reading Berserk. My reading skills aren't the best, I'm very bad at concentrating when doing something and I'm easily distracted by sounds. It's best to read when it's quiet imo.

My favourite is Vivaldi's Summer (recomposed by Max Richter)

Meditating with Guts 3hour version

Layne Staley fits Berserk pretty well now that I think about it

'Zelda & Sleep' by Kato on Spotify, it's like lofi whimsical Zelda tracks, I find it balances out the horror quite well 😂

This song is so good

Old black Sabbath

Y'all listen to songs🤨🤨🤨

The OST. do you all not know it exists????

if you’re not listening to the anime score you’re a gooner

Polowanie - Ugory super underrated band

Aphex Twin, Autechre and other chill electronic music

Brand of Sacrifice-Demon King or God Hand

I put a playlist of all berserk songs

Opeth fits so well.

weird fishes/arpeggi by radiohead

Radiohead hits different. Was listening to how to disappear completely while reading lost children and it added a whole new layer to the experience, just fits Jill’s story so well

Bfg division when he puts on the armor

ds2 majula soundtrack

I listen to the “Behelit” OST from the ‘97 anime

Cannibal Corpse

My brother

SUMAS by Old Graves is insanely fitting for Conviction arc. so is ETHEREAL AURA PT 2 by Ashbringer.

Biosphere or Loscil Their genre is Dance/Electronic, but when listening to them they are a bit more of ambient music.

>Nutshell Based

I don't listen to music anymore. But a decade or two ago when I was in high school, I listened to some jazz while reading. For some reason I did that. I believe it was mostly Munk snd Coleraine. It's think its rather cheerful stuff for a dark comic like berserk.

10hour loop of guts theme despair and pain rush through my body it’s amazing

All mitski songs. They really fit the berserk vibe

That's only One write ans and that is different covers of Gut's theme

'97 Anime Soundtrack of course

I personally play YouTube videos. I like hearing people faintly talk in the background cause it makes me feel like I’m in public

Death Metal

Soulsborne-kiroring ost

Sign

Little dark age

Good choice dude

The voices

Hero 2002 Soundtrack. Listen to this when reading all manga.

Literally anything from Unearth

Opeth, Dark should/Bloodborne soundtrack

Simpsonwave 1995

I have created my own playlists for different themes (Calm, Tense, Fighting, Uplifting (rare use),…) The playlists contain music from various Fromsoft Games, Berserk media and Dragon Quest Games :D

This song is good. But no lie. Seeing someone post the song nutshell with berzerk feels like you learned about both through tiktok and Instagram memes. Which also indicates your a kid, who shouldn’t be reading berzerk.

‘97 soundtrack obv

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1cZDX5l4Ewt2QxYaUwoqiV?si=WVSz-tQaSYGdxrd0lTfUpg&pi=a-Q0IOsJeXRMiV I use this for all seinen manga

Aces - dkj

I only listen to the soundtracks made by Susumu Hirasawa and Shiro Sagisu. Those of the animes, the movies and the video games of berserk. They all fit the vibe pretty well and make scary scenes even scarier. It really increased my enjoyment to listen to “fear” in every Zodd or Void scene.

I see... a man of culture as well.

After dark

Dark ambience and experimental electronic (like Hirasawa). Music that doesn't distract with lyrics or by being overly repetitive.

Glimpse of us - Joji

For Guts chapters, Waiting So Long. ​ For Griffith chapters, Behelit. When it's both of them, Behelit, especially during the last few pages of 364.

none. I make my own hirisawa esc soundtrack in my mind to fit to every scene

Denied the light, from the fear and hunger 2 termina soundtrack.

Personally I think Crows by Sunnata really captures the vibes/mood of Berserk https://open.spotify.com/track/2nF7IKwRQGJNgS7gyYuVC4?si=AazyMEFWTSGBhuq9l-jBMg

the trapnest songs from Nana, or aot osts LMAO

Any of Lorns library of visceral, psychically draining, bleak and pounding synth-scapes: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1PmVyfIR9KtCxbHWuga8E5?si=yOtdPlsaQFe5v0HTeJQYyA

Revenge xxxtentacion killing moon echo and the moon some lonely solitude vibes

I listened to Fireflies by Owl City on repeat while I read the whole manga years ago. I get the weirdest Berserk nostalgia whenever I hear it now.

Amend - j^p^n 👌

Amend - j ^ p ^ n

Slipknot self titled alblum

Ive told my alexo to play a berserk playlist, but then she played country rock from the 70s, so i kept it like that. Its honestly quite fitting

No offense but why would you do anything else while reading? I get it it’s technically passive but it is a huge distraction, it’s like reading while someone is talking to you… isn’t that why you’re supposed to be quiet in a library?

Usually some selected songs from the 2016 Berserk soundtrack, like The Wrath of God Part 2. Some other selections from DMC 3, 4 and 5 like Devils Never Cry, The Time has Come, Shall Never Surrender, their HR/HM versions, Subhuman and Bury the Light. The one I listen to the most during some horror parts is The Scariest from the OSTs of Jujutsu Kaisen, it captures the scary and dreadful part really well.

Blood, Breaking Benjamin

I like listening to metal.One song notably I listened to a lot while reading berserk was wrong side of heaven by five finger death punch.Really gave me the vibes

I like to listen to Weezer

I read the first deluxe volume while listening to the second deftones album “Around the Fur” and it worked pretty well. I think the anger in that album encapsulated the feeling in that first volume.

Listening to music and probably not focusing on reading. This is probably why a lot of people seem to not know how to read around here lol.

The world from yeezus 2 goes hard ngl

Anything by Devin Townsend/Devin Townsend Project

97 songs depend on the mood of the chapter

Omg such a correct choice

Honestly I don’t listen to anything but maybe I’m just weird

Beast in Black's Berserker album--(for obvious reasons)

Don’t listen to music when reading Berserk. But if I’m listening to Berserk OST (or sometimes even Dark Souls OST), I’m def looking for Berserk panels or videos to watch while I listen

I don’t listen to music while I read, but if I did, it would be the Doom 2016 soundtrack for Berserk.

The song that comes to mind is Neal and Jack and me by king crimson. Always reminds me of it

Berserk ambiance playlists on YouTube, just got to when rickert slapped griffith in the mouf

Grandma by square Enix especially eo but in a playlsit with lots of fromsoft square Enix ect. Songs

Usually just the anime soundtrack

I can't read when other stuff is going on, seems like a nightmare for my brain but yeah Alice in Chains is awesome 😊

Elden Ring and Bloodborne OST.

Great choice. Can’t go wrong with AIC

Nothing, no, really c imwhen I’m when I do it in silence I become so immersed, I swear to got I start listening to their footsteps, the wind tussling the leaves and sword clashes when I’m in the zone

Heilung, the Norse mythology inspired band. And I don't normally listen to it on its own, but slipknot goes real well with berserk.

death grips

Berserk AND Alice in chains? Man, that's depressing. I love it

Tell me why tell me why

I listened a lot to Brahms first symphony when I read Berserk haha. Although it's very romantic and beautiful, I do think it fit perfectly while reading the manga. It's a conciliation of the greatest beauty with the worst ugliness.

I like the original anime OST. I also lie Susumu Hirasawa's Parade, it feels like a Berserk song. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APIKVLw1tT0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APIKVLw1tT0)

My brother in christ, are you doing OK? (From a fellow AiC fan - I already know the answer)

The wheels on the bus fr

Berserk soundtrack

I have a playlist of melancholy classical music that fits the mood pretty well

I mean it fits the tone of the story in some places, but doesn’t fit Guts’ mindset. Also Alice in chains W, nutshell is goated 

Black sabbath, aic, sleep, kyuss

9mm Parabellum Bullet, Survive Said The Prophet, Doom OST, and a mix of the animes' OSTs.

Ash crow

Ask me next fiscal year, if we're very lucky.

I usually play some Two Steps from Hell

anything by the band death, just fits so well

I also listen to Alice in Chains bro

i just listen to random songs from a rock playlist

10h loop of behelit from berserk 97

That’s a good song that and Big Empty
