Thanatos comes from the soundtrack of Neon Genesis Evangelion, the 1995 anime series created by Hideaki Anno and produced by Gainax and Tatsunoko. Composed by Shiro Sagisu, the piece was later included on the Evangelion soundtrack albums and is closely linked to the series' darker, introspective episodes and the 1997 film The End of Evangelion. Online, the cue has been reused for years in fan edits, AMVs and dramatic montages because its slow build signals tragedy and reflection without needing dialogue.
이 사운드에 대해
Thanatos is a dramatic orchestral track from Neon Genesis Evangelion, often used for intense, emotional or climactic anime edits and scenes.
Thanatos is a somber orchestral piece built around slow piano, swelling strings and a mournful choir-like tone that builds tension without rushing. The excerpt feels heavy and reflective, moving from quiet unease to a larger emotional swell that suggests loss, sacrifice and a turning point. Listeners often associate the cue with the more psychological and tragic moments of Evangelion, where battles carry emotional consequences rather than triumph. Played on its own, it instantly sets a serious, cinematic mood and makes even simple footage feel like a final decision or farewell.
