A few months ago (January?) I posted my rip of the original game. It was 113 files long. This one is not nearly as large, numbering at just 23. That is to be expected, considering that this not a full fledged game, but an expansion pack.
But they say that it is quality, not quantity, that we are looking for. Haugen has returned to score the expansion pack, but you certainly wouldn’t know it. The original game has a very chorus heavy score – not dominant, but there were enough tracks with vocal elements to warrant the comment. Godslayer is completely absent of vocals of any kind. It is 100% an orchestral score.
Haugen, despite being Norweigan, uses a rich library of Asian elements for his score. It is absolutely European in attitude, but undeniably Asian, almost Japanese in mood and instruments. In Godslayer Haugen juxtaposes between eastern and western instruments, and he does so seamlessly and in a brilliant manner. Most of the score is either dominant in western or eastern instruments, but in tracks such as "Death of Gods" he interchanges between them wistfully and in an inspiring manner.
This is a great score! It’s relevance to it being videogame related is irrelevant – this is something to the caliber of a bombastic film score.
Just spreading the love. ๐
If you guys are really grateful, you should go to iTunes and spend a measly ten dollars on the soundtrack. I am waiting on the CD release myself.
FUCK YOU
:anger of a thousand suns:
bought on iTunes~ <3
Now, if I could only get my hand’s on a God of War 3 Rip ๐
Track times does not correspond.
If this is a legitimate release, i’d be curious to know where did you bought it?
Indeed, you noted as much in the very first paragraph – the third sentence, in fact. Yes, this is good material, but if anyone has the iTunes incarnation (VGMdb entry (http://vgmdb.net/album/19713)) that would not be an unwelcome share.
Never mind, I managed to place an order here:

Amazing soundtrack.
