BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast

Spiders & Insects

Listen Later

Episode #393 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth explore the creepy-crawly world of spiders and insects in video game music. From tragic cursed weavers to building-sized arachnid boss battles, discover how composers capture both our primal fear and fascination with arthropods through sound.

We're examining everything from mournful orchestral pieces to crushing rock guitars, exploring how music brings eight-legged horrors and buzzing nightmares to life. It's October on BGMania, and we're celebrating spooky season with some of gaming's most memorable encounters with nature's perfect predators!
