Absolutemusic

AbsoluteMusic

by Njat

Atmospheric soundtrack replacement for Valheim, featuring Nordic dark folk, metal, and dark cinematic music.

The songs come from a wide range of genres and artists, but every track was chosen because it fits its setting exceptionally well. I only kept the normal biome music strictly within the folk/Nordic style; the other categories have some deliberate exceptions — especially the Swamp and Mountain — and you'll understand why when you hear them.

What's New

• Fixed several problems affecting music playback.
• Added more music for Home.
• Expanded the Combat soundtrack with additional tracks.
• Extended the Banes music selection.
• Tuned down the more aggressive music that could play during Trader visits — trader music is now much more chill.

My Wish

I really hope they eventually fix the combat music selection. Most of these tracks barely get played because I originally put them together thinking combat had different severity phases.

I expected the game to gradually move through different combat levels depending on how intense the fight was, but apparently it doesn't work that way. So a lot of the combat music I specifically chose for those phases is just sitting there unused.

What This Mod Does

AbsoluteMusic replaces Valheim's vanilla soundtrack with a custom soundtrack carefully organized around different gameplay situations.

Music is divided into categories such as:

• Biomes
• Bosses
• Combat
• Sailing
• Home
• Morning
• Evening
• Menu
• Other gameplay situations

Each category can contain multiple tracks, allowing the game to randomly select music from the available tracks.

• BepInExPack Valheim

CustomAudio LocationMusic is required to load and replace Valheim's music.
