How BPM ranges feel in-game

- 111–140 BPM — pop / disco sweet spot. Largest Perfect window per second; ideal for S-rank farming.
- 141–180 BPM — punk / rock / hip-hop. Combos chain fastest here; Hemlock and Prophet live in this band.
- 181–220 BPM — speed metal territory. Dex, Blood and several Hard Mode encores. Equip Tempo Window from Hemlock.
- Variable — Strings, The Heartbroken Idol and The Passion Idol shift tempo mid-track. Read each boss guide for phase BPM tables.
FAQ
Where can I find the BPM of every Dead as Disco song?
The table above lists every official soundtrack track with verified BPM, level it plays in and difficulty band. In-game you can also check BPM by opening any track in Free Play — the song select screen shows tempo to the right of the title in v0.1.4+.
What is the fastest song in Dead as Disco?
Annihilation by Blood at 215 BPM is the fastest scripted boss track. Free Play and My Music can exceed this — Master of Puppets imported via My Music runs at 220 BPM.
What is the slowest song in Dead as Disco?
Pizzicato (Strings P1) at 100 BPM is the slowest standard track. Strings P3 (Cadenza) shifts time signatures mid-fight rather than slowing tempo.
Does My Music detect BPM automatically?
Yes. Dead as Disco runs an onset-detection pass on import. Accuracy is best on tracks with a steady kick drum; ambient and free-tempo songs may chart awkwardly. Verified BPMs above were re-checked against the in-game readout.
Which BPMs are best for S-rank farming?
Songs in the 120–135 BPM band give the largest Perfect window per second. Levels (Avicii, 126 BPM) and Encore Pulse (124 BPM) are reliable picks. Faster songs reward higher per-hit damage but punish a single miss harder.
