Jesper Kyd is once again becoming a prolific force within the video game music biz. Along with the recent release of Crytek’s Robinson: The Journey vinyl edition of its soundtrack by Black Screen Records, then release of the latest Warhammer End of Times spin-off, Vermintide, is also composed by Kyd and set to be released. The 36-track album compiled by Kyd includes the core game’s original soundtrack, new music from the DLC expansions as well as instrumental songs heard in the game’s local tavern, Red Moon Inn.
It’s a dynamic, raw and violent score that belongs to Vermintide’s dark medieval setting. We wanted the score to sound like it was performed by a Skaven band on acoustic instruments mangled by some mad Skaven scientist in the dark ages. It’s very different from anything I have written in the past. – Jesper Kyd, Composer
