It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from Justin Lassen. This pioneer in the world of commercial audio last spoke with us when he, alongside famed game composers Jason Hayes (World of Warcraft) and Gerard Marino (God of War) worked on the soundtrack for Midnight Meat Train together.
Now he’s doing some game music work of his own. Specifically, for a game called Out Of Hell. OOH (as I will affectionately refer to it as for the rest of this article) is a total conversion mod of Unreal Tournament 2004. As the name suggests, the game has a horror tone to it. Essentially, you’re a cop taking out zombies.
Sounds like Resident Evil, yes? Well the game looks like something infinitely darker, and the soundtrack sounds nothing like what we’ve heard from Capcom. Creator Long Nguyen had something entirely different in mind, and the screenshots I’ve seen of the game suggest something outright… well… “hellish.”
OOH, which was finally released on October 31, 2009, was six years in the making; the soundtrack, from Justin Lassen, has been done since 2007, but only now are we getting a chance to listen. After the jump, check out our review of the Out Of Hell Original Soundtrack (OOHOST!!). (more…)
