While I can’t claim to be a Brothers in Arms fan (I haven’t played the series), I have always been a fan of the music. Stephen Hardwood Jr.’s work on Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 in 2005 brought the series to my attention, and when the soundtrack for the third installment of the series, Hell’s Highway, was announced, I took note.
So, what can you expect? It’s composed by Gearbox Software’s Ed Lima and Duncan Watt, and was recorded live by the FILMharmonic Orchestra and Choir Prague. Don’t expect anything groundbreaking though; in fact, you’re going to find that the sounds of Hell’s Highway are very familiar, but at least the compositions here are reminiscent of some great music instead of a lot of the generic stuff that seems to dominate the “World War II game” genre.
