10 Most Incredible Vocal Tracks In Silent Hill History

The Silent Hill series isn't all psychological mind-buggery and body horror, quite often there's a layer of beauty hidden underneath most of the games in the series, which for anyone who stays clear from playing Silent Hill, will probably find that quite strange.

But it's true, a lot of Silent Hill 2, other than the screwed up, sexual symbolism of which the bulk of the game is built on, contains most of the series' beauty due to the game's ties to 'Love'.

The more sombre, meaningful aspects of the game, even if it's the credits, is best expressed with the series' soundtracks, especially the vocal ones. It says a lot when the worst games of the franchise still have incredible OSTs and so, here are 10 of the most incredible.

There's an overabundance of great tracks, making this list difficult to create, however, if something is missing, do say.

It's worth mentioning that all these songs are composed by Akira Yamaoka and sung by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn.

Homecoming sucks, I know, but like what was mentioned in the intro, it is undeniable that even the worst Silent Hills have a great soundtrack and Homecoming is one of them.

Soldier's Orders (or Alex Theme) is slow, sinister but melancholy and the last track on the Homecoming soundtrack. The song plays more noticeably in the background of two scenes: Alex hitchhiking with a familiar face and receiving the Handgun during a conversation with an NPC.

The lyrics detail a military trained man with a dark past about to take on a grave mission, obvious what that's alluding to.

"Your power is over, I've come to change the order"

The song has a remix, a Machine Head version which pumps the song up a little with added beats. Arguably, it's the better version.
