Warhammer: Mark of Chaos Designer Diary #3 - Finding Musical Inspiration
In Gamespot's lates designer diary composer Jeremy Soule explains how he found the inspiration to create the musical score for this epic RTS game based on the original Warhammer table-top game.
Combat in real-time strategy games has always been about smashing armies, but Warhammer: Mark of Chaos will attempt to raise the bar to a brutal new level. Based on the iconic Warhammer miniatures game from Games Workshop, Mark of Chaos will bring the fantasy battlefields to life like never before. Hundreds of units, ranging from human infantry to huge demons that will devour that infantry, will fight it out in beautiful battle. Creating music for such games can be a difficult task. After all, you don't have examples from history to fall back on. In the latest update to our designer diaries, noted composer Jeremy Soule explains how he found inspiration in the gruesome grandeur of the Warhammer universe. Mark of Chaos ships later this year, but you can listen to two selections from the soundtrack (the
main theme and
imperial siege) now.
