“We wanted to create a unique score that didn’t sound like anything else you’ve heard before and this has resulted in a deeply atmospheric and adrenaline fueled soundtrack. I really enjoyed creating a technological-infused far future electronic music score inspired by the epic hive city Tertium’s ancient machines combined with pseudo-religious choirs and anthemic pipe organs to represent the Chaos and Imperium…It needed to sound like it could exist in the year 40,000 so I knew we had to create something really out there and unique, something that sounds like it’s from a distant future with totally different priorities than what we are accustomed to.”
“The theme embraces the sound of dark folk music mixed with a thundering analog sequencer synth bass line. The Imperium proclaimed ‘reject’ you play in the game with ‘nothing to lose’ is celebrated in the music as a call to arms. The tagline of Darktide is ‘Rejects will Rise’ and throughout the game you rise from prisoner of the Imperium to a valuable member of the Imperium. This is reflected in the music. The bassline is the driving force of the underground vibe instilled in much of the score. In short, the uplifting parts of the cue are about celebrating who you are, where you came from and being given a second chance.”
“Immortal Imperium is written as a hymn to the everlasting Imperium. The Imperium is ruled by the Emperor of Mankind, ruler of 1 million worlds. 40,000 years into the future, the complete devotion to the Emperor is unconditional and unwavering. This music celebrates his glorious divinity. The track features a rousing performance by the Budapest Scoring Choir.”
