Indeed, the futuristic look of Shadow Fall’s gameplay certainly calls for an update in the soundtrack: the enemies look quicker, smarter and more dangerous than before. The sounds and unique textures coincide with the game’s new look and slightly different style of gameplay. The whole track is a rich fusion of elements: electronic and acoustic sounds, modern and retro sci-fi elements,heroic and aggressive segments. The game’s main theme is an excellent example of this approach with its eerie melody and hybridised sound. The melodies are sometimes comprised solely of electronic sounds, which can be quite odd to listen to out of context, but adds to the futuristic electro-orchestral sound. But does the integrity and sound of the Killzone series transfer well from Joris De Man’s soundtracks to the new look and feel of Shadow Fall? Bodyįor fans of music and the series, the Killzone: Shadow Fall Soundtrack offers inspiring sounds and heavy riffs that will carry you through some rough work and ugly missions. What particularly stands out for me is that Shadow Fall soundtrack maintains an orchestral vibe using synthetic sounding instruments.
While this soundtrack certainly sounds less militaristic than previous titles, there is plenty of action mixed in with the tense sounds like in the previous games. Pulsing percussion rhythms give the music forward motion and a sense of urgency while the synth sounds provide harmony that is unique to the game. The big sound of the earlier soundtracks is prominent, but does step away from the military style marches of previous titles. For this instalment, Tyler Bates and Lorn pull away from the previous three scores by adding distorted electronics to create an even darker atmosphere. The PlayStation 4 launch title Killzone: Shadow Fall shook things up in several ways, from setting to gameplay to soundtrack. Composer Joris De Man helped make the Killzone series popular with the use of acoustic instruments and a cinematic feel reminiscent of John Williams’s Star Wars. The music of Shadow Fall is reminiscent of the earlier Killzone soundtracks, but offers more electronic sounds and techno influences. Killzone -Shadow Fall- Official Soundtrack
