    The combat/mission climax songs Jesper Kyd did for Darktide are absolutely unmatched imo. It’s all this pounding industrial edm imitating organ music and choir chanting but chopped up with a heavy bass line that matches and elevates every vibe the rest of the art design that it appears alongside is going for. I would honestly put these on par with some of Hiroyuki Sawano’s iconic work for anime series.

    Best examples: Light of the Imperium and Disposal Unit both hit so hard.

      Disposal Unit is such a banger and is somehow made even better when the chatter from the characters is laid over top of it as well.

      I’d add Guillaume David who did the Mechanicus soundtrack. It’s not as pumping and driving since it’s a different game genre, but he REALLY captured the vibe of the universe and the Mechanicus in general. Children of the Omnissiah as an example.
