Conan The Destroyer(Main Theme) - Basil Poledouris

Music from the film Conan the Destroyer by Basil Poledouris

[@Sefert79]

Basil was a Genius.

[@ShenSaiya]

This is the epic kind of music that makes you want to buy a sword. The head out to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

that is good!!

[@naturalist4life396]

Honestly, I had no idea this was a sequel when I first saw it as a kid. And I absolutely loved it. The story, the action, the characters, everything. It was amazing.

[@theoverthinkingalien224]

I remember my auntie giving me the DVD that came free in the newspaper. I loved it as a kid and always enjoy a re-watch from time to time

Epic comment 🤣🤣🤣

[@rodrogers9158]

Bol! Thought i was the only 1

[@maggs131]

I have this exact clip rigged to a motion sensor to play every time I'm in front of my floor to ceiling mirror to admire my monstrous dong 🥒💦

[@Faltzerbeast90]

I play this part exactly during a heavy set and it works!!

[@TheSaneHatter]

If "Conan the Destroyer" had ANY advantage over the first film, it was this song! I honestly wish it played in the first movie!

[@I_like_turtles_67]

The original is better. But this is a close second.

[@sillyninja65]

nah the original is way better

[@pliniomarquesjunior4039]

I agree

[@Maximus1Decimus]

I like this song, but the original is better. It was like the gods were crying for Conan to send them blood by the gallons - this seems like the fuel for Conan to carry through a battle. Either way, the soundtrack to me carries all of the scenes from both films. I just wish there were more. .-.

[@DamienDrake]

I'll take the original any day, but this is still fun.

[@SevenMan]

Cant get enough of 1:37 and 3:13. Candy to the ears.

[@nathangamble125]

One of the best climaxes of any piece of music. I rate it a solid 8/10, and there are only 6 other songs with a climax I rate higher. (those 6 songs are Baba Yetu, Chant of Selflessness, Don't Ever Forget, Sogno Di Volare, Remix 10, and Diggy Diggy Hole. I'm a brony and I like video games. We have good music, damn it!)

[@dariusus9870]

You'd like tusk ki2 theme if you like this song

[@nobkcook]

University of Oregon marching band plays this part during their football games . It’s great

[@BlueLighteningGojo]

Ahh......I can't help but listen to this when I hit the gym!

[@blade4u99]

I was sad to hear about Basil Poledouris passing away. He made some of the most iconic movie themes in history.

[@GreatestMKfighter]

Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!

[@harveysanton7739]

straight into my heart

[@leonardeuler9592]

Yes, man.

[@chrislowe6385]

That phrase still rings in my head!

[@georgetrompoukis7798]

You are Oboro, the chronicle ?? 😉

[@Hellspacifist]

I love the song,.. but it's really the last 30 seconds or so that hit me. I love them. Wish it was longer.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

check out the grasslands theme to golden axe, its basically that :D

[@LRon-ef7ni]

This and Robocop became iconic theme songs. Basil is legendary

[@oldfrend]

strange, wild, unrepentantly uncivilized, like conan himself. fabulous track!

[@aaroncummings3194]

It's weird. I can't stop playing this. Probably played it 50 times in last week. It's SO GOOD.

[@BaronNate]

Crom is pleased, he will watch your battle.

[@KwanJangNim]

Lifting weights while listening to this song gives me the strength of Conan!

[@ahsanmirza3874]

This was my favorite movie when I was a kid. The music is a big part of it. Still love it . Now playing this movie for my kids as they grow up

[@deletethisnananabz]

The mind that wrote this music is genius level, period.

[@SpartanLeonidas1821]

⚡️🇬🇷 Basileios Poledouris 🇬🇷⚡️

[@dwarfking424]

Everyone came here for 1:37

[@KingofArlia]

Actually, 1:57

[@MuffinMan98]

actually 3:13

[@KingofArlia]

Also a good part.

[@VIRGOLEGACY]

Yup pretty much and 3:13 lol but basil Poledouris' work is underrated

[@CarlosMartinez-cq3qq]

Yep😂

[@jaxguy822]

We played this song in our marching band show my freshman year of high school, still my favorite one we ever did

[@aktxag]

The theme is the best part about the movie! Listening to this makes me want to grab a medieval sword and embark upon an epic battle!

[@Outdoorcookwarereviews]

I blast this on the way to the gym !

[@AchtungBaby77]

I do hope it's still playing whilst AT the gym too😅

[@ranshiiekrueger84]

The film has some flaws, but this soundtrack is just legendary

[@KingKuuppa]

Some flaws? Destroyer basically murdered everything that was good in the Barbarian. Only thing in it that didn't suck was the soundtrack. While it wasn't as magnificent as the one in the Barbarian, it was still pretty good.

[@kusindan]

KingKuuppa I like the movie. Just because it has HUGE nostalgic value for me.

[@TheDerekCarroll]

KingKuuppa Completely agree. Loved the original but Richard Fleischer literally destroyed (pun intended) this one

[@NoxWyatt]

At least this movie, and Conan The Barbarian is better than the 2011 version. That movie was an insult to the Conan franchise.

[@vaderfett3229]

ScourgeKingley22 FUCKIN' A! Schwarzenegger - REAL CONAN! 2011 film - Piss-poor Conan for Hipsters.

[@aos82]

This is more epic and inspiring than anything currently in movies.

[@jimdixon5203]

Best Documentary Ever filmed!

[@danielthomas8571]

Jim Dixon Thank you. I was pretty jacked back then.

[@alexbeardmusic]

Awesome stuff. May Basil Poledouris rest in peace ...

[@GR1MB4RBAR1AN]

Love this ! A guy at work who drives one of the machines basically breaks everything he gets his hands on . He's deaf as a post and telling him to be careful is one thing . Next minute he's totally destroyed something. I imagine he must have this theme tune on in his cab haha

[@tasoskoyt]

Poledouris laughs at your Hans Zimmer, laughs from his mountain

[@sparksthechosen2289]

They are both amazing, so don't insult Hans Zimmer!

[@SkyExplosion]

SparksTheChosen Hans Zimmer could be amazing but he isn't. I say this because even though Hans Zimmer does alot of music for anime/movies etc. However he has used one specific great them (and i mean the exact theme) for several movies. Pirates and gladiator share this theme but its not the only movie he composed for that does.

[@FranticAnimations]

SkyExplosion Oh, for fuck's sake, stop it. That is the most unfair criticism I've ever heard for a composer. Hans Zimmer used the same exact theme for several movies? Yeah, lots of great composers have. Jerry Goldsmith, Ennio Morricone (my favourite composer but he's worse at this than Zimmer), James Newton Howard etc. Even Williams (AKA most overrated composer ever) has done this a lot. Attacking Zimmer for this just makes you sound idiotic.

[@FranticAnimations]

I guess it's cool to diss Zimmer nowadays, huh?

[@tasoskoyt]

Relax, it's just a joke

[@doritodustanimated1718]

Watched this with my dad not too long ago and as soon as I heard that awesome theme I came straight here

Isso ae, mano !!

[@takerdust]

It was foretold in the Scrolls of Skelos, that this theme is badass.

[@lastdragon55]

I love how in the movie Conan would seem like he would do the slightest aggressive thing, and the one part from 3:13 til the end would play. Rehashed every five seconds.

[@anthonylewis9256]

Do you know how many push ups I did as a 5 yr old watching arnold and listing to this ! This is great thank you . TOP Basil P.

The new Conan was no where as good as the original Conan!

[@neljannenseinansuojelia8763]

During pen and paper rpg nights, sing the theme from 3:13 when rolling for attack. All rolls become auto confirmed crits! ;)

[@miguelangelpazalducin623]

Me emocionan mucho sus sonidos y me siento dentro de la pelicula como si hubiera vivido esa época. Mis respetos

The theme at 3:14 is the best part and the most memorable tune from the movie.

[@therecanbeonlyone_6357]

A true masterpiece

[@Robschernaut]

thats so great...please post the other tracks too!

[@DragonPop64]

Destroyer is the epitome of fun fantasy adventure , while Barbarian had potential of winning the academy award for best picture IF they had wanted to take it there. But no one took fantasy material to that level, and movie executives would of insisted on deluding the story if someone asked for resources on an award winning level.

[@anthonysemenov1639]

the real soundtrack is missing the beautiful string section composition as they ride to the ice castle after the town they were in.

[@maggs131]

This is the music I play when I'm a lil to far away from the toilet and the turd bunker is going to purge. It's an adventure getting there but what triumph when you barely make splash down

[@adamapocalypse1142]

this is beautiful

[@PaladinHero]

Basil has made some excellent soundtracks.

BEST motivational song EVER!

[@Varrus_Varlineau]

It's about damn ****ing time they make the movie where we see Conan as King. King Conan, even at old age. Is a badass.

[@Krushner20]

Thanks for ups ding this, epic soundtrack for an epic film

[@MuskateerGripWeed]

I read that the composer for Conan is Greek and he came up with the theme when he heard his daughter playing a similar tune on her little recorder or some type of woodwind instrument.

[@gmoney4980]

0:53 and BEYOND! This has been stuck in my head for weeks.

[@ToujoursLAmour]

Best theme song of all time.

[@wttao39]

Poleduris score was, is and shall be unforgettable!!! Zimmer on the other hand has done some very iconic scores but compared him with the Poleduris bring smile to my face...... There is a comparison..... Basil is on the top!

[@xaniafg]

Excellent

[@chrisbowman9408]

Idk if I’m the only one here, but I honestly like both movies a lot. Yeah, they are both different in tone and feel, but I personally feel like this movie was a still a fun adventure romp. Perhaps not as good as the first, but I still enjoyed it

[@AnimatorDavid]

This is my favorite action song of all time.

[@jenielharrison5584]

Great music!

[@vintod]

This would make for an awesome progressive metal cover version.

[@cooliojonesy]

Kooshmeister3 - dude u are so right! I have been trying for YEARS to find the theme that plays during the opening of the movie, but to no avail. That royally sucks because it is the BEST arrangement!

[@ca9999]

The best part is from 0:54 to 1:31. It is just powerful.

[@ekhozo6850]

Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of! And onto this, Conan, destined to wear the jewelled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga! Let me tell thee of the days of high adventure!!

[@toddjeffcoat1828]

ba ba ba boom boom boom-boom

[@TheHonoredMadman]

Destroyer when not compared to Barbarian and viewed as a fun DnD movie with Conan and The wizard coming back i5s actually alot of fun. It gets too much hate imo plus it has this new song which is just fucking great. Barbarian will always be better but that doesnt mean Destroyer is bad. Plus is all were ever gonna get in terms of a conan sequel, i use to drive myself crazy thing about what wouldve been if millius got to make the sequel but that time has long passed.

@readytoheaven "Old school," indeed! This music was clearly meant to be invoke the feeling of that Steve Reeves/Sinbad style of high adventure, and does it very well. In fact, it just occurred to me that Ray Harryhausen's special effects would have suited this movie perfectly! Wouldn't that have been cool?
