I think something that is both heavy and melodic would be fitting. Along the lines of the orchestral score from "Conan the Barbarian," by Basil Poledouris. The score from "The Scorpion King" is another good example. If something with lyrics is needed, I'd be in favor of a "nu metal" sound... kinda Godsmack-ish.

You're right, Validus! 1- Saxon - because the medieval feeling, you know. 2- Status Quo - bubblegum rock'n'roll. So pop and cheerful. Look for the song 'I love rock'n'roll', PERFECT for Blackstar. In my mind, that's his main theme. 3- Genesis - "Nursery Cryme", very suitable for the series. Epic music. 4- Kiss - bubblegum and heavy, 'God of Thunder' seems Overlord's main theme ahahah  |

There is a very cool song by the '70s metal band Rainbow off their first album called The Temple of the King that has great fantasy lyrics and a very Sagar-ish vibe to it. Dio was the singer at the time and really, anything by him since has had a fantasy element to the lyrics and very epic metal style. A stunning prog/epic metal project is Ayreon. Dutch guitarist Arjen Lucassan has created these amazing concept albums with sci fi/fantasy themes that are really intricate and awesome. I'd love to hear him write something inspired by Blackstar. I also love the works of a German metal band called Mob Rules who are obviously inspired by Dio and other power metal bands. They've got a great post-apocalypse storyline that dominated their first 2 albums and has threaded through their latest ones too. Some great music. And of course, who could forget the amazing french hit single: www.coucoucircus.org/da/generique.php?id=45Man, the french loved Blackstar! Wish it could have been included in the DVD set. |

Dio was the singer at the time Since I'm a Black Sabbath/Osbourne estimator, and pretty much know Dio's excellent work for Iommi's band, I'll find that song! Thanks.  It seems that 'Blackstar' was a hit in Europe, anyway. Was that song the official main theme for the show's French adaptation? Was it a hit? Did it chart? WOW. |

I'm a long time Metal-head, if I have to pick some names I'd say Manowar (the world supreme epic metal band) o the Blind Guardian, though I have to say their latest 2 album where pretty lame, if the world where perfect the Helloween whit original formation would be my absolute pick but I think I'd be happy enough whit Kay Hansen's Gamma Ray too.
IF I had to pick!
To be honest,I like the original Filmation theme so much I'd chose it as the perfect soundtrack.

Black Sabbath with ''Supertzar'' as an opening theme just listen it!!
Dio with ''Holy Diver'' of course for the same reason.
Manowar especially of ''Hail to England'' and ''Kings of Metal''.
Saxon for the medieval feeling of the story.
