Ash Crow - Susumu Hirasawa Soundtracks for BERSERK (平沢進 ベルセルク サウンドトラック集, Hirasawa Susumu Beruseruku Saundotorakku Shū) is an album by Susumu Hirasawa.

Contents

Overview

Ash Crow contains a series of compositions written by Susumu Hirasawa for adaptations of the manga Berserk. Tied to the 2016 TV adaptation, the album includes both insert songs made for it, with the title track being a previously unannounced alternative arrangement. Besides those, the album contains both original versions of various tracks and re-recordings with new arrangements, as well as some instrumental mixes of recent songs.

It contains both tracks from the 2012 "Aria" single. The presence of "Sign" marks the second time the track has appeared in a compilation, after 2007's Music for Movies.

"Aria", "Sign" and "Sign-3" have lyrics written in "Hirasawan" (ヒラサワ語, Hirasawa-go), a language Hirasawa created by mixing together elements of Thai, German and Latin.

Track listing

All tracks written by Susumu Hirasawa. All tracks marked with * are previously unreleased on any standalone music format.

Although not specifically written for any Berserk project, "Horde of Thistledown" was used as the ending theme of The Fallen Hawk (堕ちた鷹, Ochita Taka), a 2013 TV special narrated by Skull Knight voice actor Akio Ōtsuka that summarized the events of the first two Golden Age Arc movies.
