Epic sound shadow of Mordor

For the computer game Mordor overshadow the two film-composer Garry Schyman and Nathan Grigg who make an epic soundtrack for Middle-earth, which moves away from the very well-known sounds of Howard Shore and yet produces a similarly dense atmosphere. Not just for gamers a hot music tip.

When we think of music to Middle Earth, resound inevitable the haunting soundtrack sounds by Howard Shore, we also do not want to miss in our mind's ear. But the soundtrack of Mordor SHADOW can learn Tolkien fans Middle-earth musical new. Since this is in the game is an action RPG in Mordor, the soundtrack is very dynamic in its entirety and gloomy over, but there are also very fragile sounds and bright moments.

Primarily but counts the pathos, and so smash in the title theme "The Grave Walker" the orc choirs impressively the Ring poem "Ash nazg durbatuluk! Ash nazg gimbatul!". With songs like "Talion Awakes" or "Celebrimbor" the mysterious atmosphere created by exotic instruments such as Water phones or the Spring-Drums, like. Reinforced by threatening strings and sinister choirs

The many battle pieces and action sequences are determined primarily by double-basses, drums and wind instruments, but there are also quite quiet moments, such as in "Ioreth" that starts with a soft piano intro and then a Hardanger fiddle (or something similar ) is wider and emotionally reminded of folkloric echoes with an Asian twist.

With "A Perfect Swing for Killing Chickens" proves Garry Schyman that not everything needs to be dark in Mordor. The very dynamic and playful theme with folk instruments is humorous and revels here in memories, but ends gloomily by seamlessly in "Attack On The Gate" passes, and even those who have not played the game, guess how the scene ends.

Songs like "The Nemesis" (with drone ends hammering), "Caragor Riding" (driving choirs) or "The Hammer" (Brass) are just some of the highlights of a varied album, which can be made completely independently. Last but not least the brilliant "Saruman Revealed" create a unique atmosphere in which you have to close one's eyes to be found right in the land of darkness.

A great game soundtrack, which also pays for non-gamers.
