I’ll admit that the music was at the periphery when I watched the series (and subsequently dropped it) but when I did watch it, my mind did make out Iwasaki’s style, so I had to jump all over that one. Maybe this album is better as a standalone listen?

I never knew he composed for Black Cat too! Though despite watching Kuroshitsuji, the soundtrack didn’t leave that deep of an impression. >.<

Yeah, even some of the best tracks have a few odd tracks here and there. Still, the important thing is that it doesn’t ruin the overall feel of the soundtrack and “Die Hasen” avoids doing just that.

Die Hasen is the odd one out, but there tends to always be a track or two in an OST album that’s kind of just weird.
I really like Si deus me relinquit too.

Can’t say I’m too surprised about “Si deus me relinquit” since I thoroughly enjoyed sitting through that one because it conveys a wonderful range of emotions without ever getting repetitive or boring, making it a sign of a strong track. But yeah, thanks for bringing this soundtrack to my attention. Enjoyed listening and reviewing it a lot!

@Reltair
There are just some tracks that come once in awhile that will make you go “lolwut” and “Die Hasen!” would be it for this album. I have difficulty figuring out what they were trying to do there and no one’s given me the context with which I can judge.

I only saw a few of the beginning episodes, but I think I recall hearing “Nigram Clavem”. That song matches the anime with the feeling that some secret ritual is going on that is linked to evil. Love the Gregorian chant in it as well.

Die Hasen! Rofl.

LoL..I agree with you completely that ‘Die Hasen’ is the oddest track of the lot. It’s one I skipped through each time I put on the disc. From what I can gather elsewhere, ‘Si deus mi relinquit’is a favourite of many and most that had a chance to listen to the album chose it as the stand out track from the ost. Oh yes, excellent review once again. Your description made me hear certain things differently now…not fangirling all over the place.
