Although only a few soundtracks from video games have stuck in my mind, anything composed by Jesper Kyd easily stands above the rest. Responsible for the incredible compositions featured in the Assassin’s Creed series, he can now add the upcoming Darksiders IIÂ soundtrack to his impressive resume.
Gamers jonesing for their music can now pre-order the soundtrack through iTunes, Amazon and other major music sites. For everybody else, the soundtrack will be released on August 14th alongside the game.
Check below for a description and a full track listing:
