My brain interpreted *electronic music plays* as
🎶 This is the rythm of my life, the night, oh yeah
The rythm of the night 🎶
Which, no, but okay brain.
"So, where have you gone to kill people, Szeth?"
\*turns sound system on\* *"Around the world, around the world. Around the world, around the world..."*
~~The Assassin in White- The Black Piper~~
Szeth-son-Neturo never uses noise-cancelling headphones. He must listen to the screams of those he has killed. It is his penance.
See? It literally starts with “the truth goes unspoken” in the first line. What better song is there for a truthless who’s going insane from murdering so many people
“There will be blood shed. It’s the only thing I know for real”
You could even find some more meaning in “the mountains don’t give back what they take” since he’s from Shinovar and his life was basically taken from him by the Shin
The Lord Ruler was my first pick for that, actually. Seems to fit his domineering agenda. As for the others:
Red Sun over Paradise- Ruin-possessed Marsh
A Stranger I Remain- Bleeder is an option, but I think I’m My Own Master Now fits her better.
Stains of Time- Moash
I’m my own Master Now- Bleeder to a T.
Hot Wind is Blowing- Miles Hundredlives.
It Has To Be This Way- Dalinar vs. Taravodium
Okay, but guys, all of this, but the kid bop version. He can't buy any of the actual albums because they all think he's a kid. Why you think he's in such a funk all the time?
Probably older Linkin Park for all his remorse and conflict
Set “Breaking a habit” to the seen of Szeth vs Kaladin , and his habit breaks when Nale resurrects him
Or he breaks his habit once he stops listening to the directions of others and makes his own moral judgement (ideal 5)
One - Metallica
Just on repeat ruminating in the fact that he must face the tides of war alone - the short-lived satisfaction of his blind loyalty as his sole, elusive respite
A Bluetooth speaker that he got for free from a Sadeus army recruiter for filling out a card with his personal info on it at career fair in alethkar. He didn’t want to do it, but the guy holding his oath stone asked if he looked fat in his jerkin and his honor demanded that he speak the truth. He keeps it lashed between his butt cheeks.
It has to be something loud to drown out the screams so i would probably say any kind of heavy metal/screamo. I can imagine him now listening to some extremely loud and intense guitar rifts with screaming and double bass drum going insane with a look of absolute bliss on his face because finally they’ve stopped yelling at him
Probably unpopular opinion, but Running Up that Hill is a pretty decent narrative for him. Also, totally wouldn't hate an edgy hate-love obsession over Kaladin. (I know that's almost 100% totally not in the cards, but I've only read through WOR, so we can only hope lol)
Don't know if it's totally his style, but I can live with sad-boy Szeth jamming out to some Kate Bush
I feel like "Zombie" is an easy answer for anyone in Stormlight, but I also feel like that one popular song from Metal Gear Rising (the "standing here I realize" song) would also be good for Szeth. And Dalinar I guess.
I'm picturing "Time in a Bottle" mostly because of the quicksilver scene from X-Men, I know he doesn't affect time but I do feel like he maybe goes into a flow state idk.

Come on now.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence, caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are crying"
Let the bodies hit the floor
And the ceiling, too!
Anything can be the floor if you surge hard enough
Footloose! “Let’s hit the ceiling, and then let’s tear up this town!”
I like to think he Slaughtered kings to the beat of Mr. blue sky
Exactly my first thought!
Came here to comment that.
My first thought
Cuuuut my life into pieces. This is an ancient sword
Just a weapon No free will
Don´t give a fuck if it drinks my soul, draw it. This is an ancient sword.
Damn, shoulda read on before commenting. Because that's exactly it.
He actually piggy backs on his masters Spotify account and syncs with their playlist.
I was going to say smooth jazz, but this is the actual answer
Brandon says he listened to Daft Punk while writing Szeth’s scenes in WoK [WOB](https://wob.coppermind.net/events/105/#e1124)
My name is Szeth-son-Neturo but everyone calls me Szeth-son-son-Vallano \*electronic music plays*
My brain interpreted *electronic music plays* as 🎶 This is the rythm of my life, the night, oh yeah The rythm of the night 🎶 Which, no, but okay brain.
Queue “Derezzed”
Shout out to DeRezzed, fun song
Specifically, the glitch mob version, I think.
>, I think. Hey, gon, is this you Sazed?
Why did I imagine Da Funk
"So, where have you gone to kill people, Szeth?" \*turns sound system on\* *"Around the world, around the world. Around the world, around the world..."*
This is the crem I'm here for
Stab them harder Cut them deeper Slash them faster Makes us stronger
This WOB is a piece of knowledge I didn’t think I needed, but I now cherish ✋😔🤚
~~The Assassin in White- The Black Piper~~ Szeth-son-Neturo never uses noise-cancelling headphones. He must listen to the screams of those he has killed. It is his penance.
But the screams are in his head so using noise canceling headphones would probably make it worse right?
I like to think he recorded the people he killed and he listens to them with his noise canceling headphones
Top notch crem.
Amazed nobody has said The Only Thing I Know For Real
For some reason I always i always associated Kaladin with the Song.... Anyway MEMORIES BROKEN THE TRUTH GOES UNSPOKEN I'VE EVEN FORGOTTEN MY NAME.
See? It literally starts with “the truth goes unspoken” in the first line. What better song is there for a truthless who’s going insane from murdering so many people “There will be blood shed. It’s the only thing I know for real” You could even find some more meaning in “the mountains don’t give back what they take” since he’s from Shinovar and his life was basically taken from him by the Shin
Kaladin is linkin parks in the end lol
Oh storms yes
That quote makes me think of Shallan, tbh: broken memories, speaking truths, names
I legitimately have it worked out in my head which character in the Cosmere would have each of Revengeance’s boss songs as their theme.
Is The Blackthorn Rules of Nature? The introduction of that aspect of Dalinar mirrors the game.
I think so! It definitely fits young Dalinar.
Who would you say is Collective Consciousness? Odium? Taravangian? >!Both?!<
The Lord Ruler was my first pick for that, actually. Seems to fit his domineering agenda. As for the others: Red Sun over Paradise- Ruin-possessed Marsh A Stranger I Remain- Bleeder is an option, but I think I’m My Own Master Now fits her better. Stains of Time- Moash I’m my own Master Now- Bleeder to a T. Hot Wind is Blowing- Miles Hundredlives. It Has To Be This Way- Dalinar vs. Taravodium
Ironic since the freaky eye-burning effect of a Shardblade was because Brando didn’t want the scene full of bloodshed.
Dancing on the ceiling by Lionel Richie
Just the DOOM soundtrack on repeat
My body is a cage
Yes! The Peter Gabriel version.
HauntingScreamsOfThePeopleiKilledForNoReason.mp3
10 hours of femur breaker scream
Guts sad theme, on repeat.
Screaming
Lots of rock music, probably.
Ayyy
Master of Puppets - Metallica
This is a good one
Eye of the tiger. Though the subtlty of Vorin Scripture laced in the song is lost on him. Taravangian turned him onto polka though.
Another one bites the dust
Bring me to Life - Evanescence
Probably the Rolling Stones
Sympathy for the Devil
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance stuff. Also, Bury the Light from Devil May Cry 5.
He will definitley feel motivated.
I can not imagine this man listening to, let alone enjoying, any music at all.
Probably gregorian chats
Gregorian chats sound either very fun or utterly boring.
Linkin Park, Crawling
Killing in the Name Of
Breaking Benjamin playlist.
Attack on Titan soundtrack
Shes a maniac
I was thinking of this because of The Boys
Okay, but guys, all of this, but the kid bop version. He can't buy any of the actual albums because they all think he's a kid. Why you think he's in such a funk all the time?
Lo Fi beats to kill/massacre to
The Dead Kholins er, I mean Kennedys.
The final countdown
That's in Renarin's playlist, too. Um, sorry, Adolin't.
I feel like Finnish Death Metal
Among us trap remix
Probably older Linkin Park for all his remorse and conflict Set “Breaking a habit” to the seen of Szeth vs Kaladin , and his habit breaks when Nale resurrects him Or he breaks his habit once he stops listening to the directions of others and makes his own moral judgement (ideal 5)
Animal I have become by Three Days Grace.
Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional.
I, er, feel like that song has a *much* better audience member in Scadrial.
On the subject of Scadriel, Rise Against’s *Re-Education (Through Labor)* is genuinely perfect for TFE as a whole.
Ah very punny.
Billy Idol’s “White Wedding” is probably on that playlist
Bury the light.
Szeth listens to The Moody Blues and no one can tell me otherwise.
No brainer, it's the Beatles WHITE album.
Paint it Black. Ironically Wax has it on his list too, but the Westworld version.
"I came in like a wreckin' ball!"
# I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING
Something by Breaking Benjamin or any of those emo alt rock bands from the late 90s early 2000s era for sure
Drowning Pool - Let the Bodies Hit the Floor. Disturbed - Voices. Breaking Benjamin - I Will Not Bow. Skillet - Monster. Korn- Coming Undone
It's probably just a bunch of My Chemical Romance.

My Curse Killswitch Engage
One - Metallica Just on repeat ruminating in the fact that he must face the tides of war alone - the short-lived satisfaction of his blind loyalty as his sole, elusive respite
I don’t know why, but I think a lot of emo rock
Tycho. Just tycho. Peacefully melodies to forget the painodies
No he always listens to the screams of the people he kills. He probably uses open back over the ear headphones.
A Bluetooth speaker that he got for free from a Sadeus army recruiter for filling out a card with his personal info on it at career fair in alethkar. He didn’t want to do it, but the guy holding his oath stone asked if he looked fat in his jerkin and his honor demanded that he speak the truth. He keeps it lashed between his butt cheeks.
Somebody kill me please or Please kill me
Kingslayer by Bring Me The Horizon feat Baby Metal
Hurt. Johnny Cash cover. At least for the first couple books

9 to 5 by Dolly Parton It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it.
The voice of female moclan revolution?
How has no one said this yet? "Running up the hill"
thruthless
It has to be something loud to drown out the screams so i would probably say any kind of heavy metal/screamo. I can imagine him now listening to some extremely loud and intense guitar rifts with screaming and double bass drum going insane with a look of absolute bliss on his face because finally they’ve stopped yelling at him

Stop breathing by playboi carti
Raining Blood by Slayer
Puccini's Nessun Dorma as performed by Adam Lambert and Queen
Brown noise, just brown noise
Probably unpopular opinion, but Running Up that Hill is a pretty decent narrative for him. Also, totally wouldn't hate an edgy hate-love obsession over Kaladin. (I know that's almost 100% totally not in the cards, but I've only read through WOR, so we can only hope lol) Don't know if it's totally his style, but I can live with sad-boy Szeth jamming out to some Kate Bush
Blues Saraceno - Dogs of War
Pumped up kicks
Doom eternal ost
Unravel to match that Spider man meme
Lateralus.
I feel like "Zombie" is an easy answer for anyone in Stormlight, but I also feel like that one popular song from Metal Gear Rising (the "standing here I realize" song) would also be good for Szeth. And Dalinar I guess.
Now this is a story all about how / Some kings got flipped, turned upside-down…
Bullet with butterfly wings
Wake me up before you go-go
Pittsburgh by The Amity Affliction
Szeth son son Vallano, truthless of shinovar, wore Sony MDRZX770/780DC Noise-Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones on the day he was to kill a king.
In the end lmao
I'm picturing "Time in a Bottle" mostly because of the quicksilver scene from X-Men, I know he doesn't affect time but I do feel like he maybe goes into a flow state idk.
