God of War composer creates Jericho soundtrack

by Alexander Sliwinski { Aug 17th 2007 at 6:30PM }

Next to Kratos' blood-lust, one of the stand-outs of the God of War games was the music composed by Cris Velasco. Now Velasco has scored the soundtrack for the upcoming Clive Barker's Jericho. Velasco was apparently "hand picked" by Barker because his music has "dark energy, threat and redemption" which apparently fits in the "unstoppable engine in the terrifying ghost train of Jericho."

We're really liking what we're seeing from Jericho so far. We just hope that Codemasters' marketing doesn't drop the ball considering they did absolutely no early work to make this game stand out from the incoming holiday bombardment. You can listen to some of the music at the Jericho website and the game is still expected to release in October for the PS3, 360 and PC.

Looking forward to this more than Halo 3.

Seriously. Honestly. I'd rather play this than Halo 3. Any day of the week. Except Wednesday.

You're probably in the minority on that one. I'd definately like to give Jericho a try, though. Looks really good. I don't know whay this game doesn't garner more attention.

You guys at Joystiq did a better job of getting me hyped for this game than their marketing people.(Which is sad) I soaked up a lot of E3 news and this game was no where on the radar.

The trailers for this game look tight though. I'll keeping an eye out.

Indeed...this game does look great (staying far away from the halo debate though, haha)! And its pretty solid news to hear that Cris Velasco is doing the score for Jericho. I just started playing the god of war mobile game and noticed that sweet sweet music. Should be awesome to see what he can do with Jericho...thanks for the update!
