Sarah Schachner doing a Predator film, Stephen Barton doing Star Trek, Olivier Deriviere doing Star Wars?!

What a time to be alive!

Current obsession right now.

What a phenomenal score. And I haven't even gone through the whole album.

[Andrés Castillo (Game Music Hub) @VGMusicHub]

Piggybacking off of this is Stephen Barton's wonderful score for Picard S3! It's amazing that we're seeing so many game composers finally breaking through into film and TV.

@JB38562092 Heck, even the base game. I remember an early-game minor side quest that featured a freaking Thunderjaw fight.

[Andrés Castillo (Game Music Hub) @VGMusicHub]

@JB38562092 Sounds like a Horizon DLC alright. Still remember the unforgiving difficulty spike of the Frozen Wilds DLC.

Also hi! I'm still around. Mostly lurking, still passionately discussing video game music, just haven't had the time to restart GMH again.

It's December, and there's still an article pending out of the two that were supposed to come out for Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Life's gotten in the way, but I should have some news about that next week.

[Andrés Castillo (Game Music Hub) @VGMusicHub]

So... a lot's happened to this app since the last time I posted, huh?

[Andrés Castillo (Game Music Hub) @VGMusicHub]

One of last year's very best VG scores is finally getting a soundtrack release!

Some of the most bonkers combat music I've ever heard in a game. Y'all seriously can't miss this.

[Austin Wintory @awintory]

GUESS WHAT @AliensFireteamE FAM???

[Andrés Castillo (Game Music Hub) @VGMusicHub]

@awintory @AliensFireteamE *furiously moves up the Aliens: Fireteam Elite article on the schedule*

But congrats on finally getting this released. It's been a long time coming!

[Andrés Castillo (Game Music Hub) @VGMusicHub]

So... the second Rapture article is still coming. Life's gotten particularly busy lately, so it may be a bit until I'm able to finish it.

But it's still coming.

How my watching experience of The Lord of the Rings show is going...

[Andrés Castillo (Game Music Hub) @VGMusicHub]

@Marcodmeatball @YouTube This is such a milestone! CONGRATS!!

[Andrés Castillo (Game Music Hub) @VGMusicHub]

@awintory @AnjelusX @bearmccreary Do it! I finished rewatching it last year (first time in years!) and it still holds up so incredibly well.

And of course, it's always a treat hearing Bear firing on all cylinders!

[Andrés Castillo (Game Music Hub) @VGMusicHub]

@BannerSaga Agreed! I'm glad you're reading.

New article!
Today I take a look at the use of songs throughout the score for @ChineseRoom's EVERYBODY'S GONE TO THE RAPTURE, and how they inform character arcs and relationships throughout the story.

Music by Jessica Curry.

@ChineseRoom Of course I don't mind! Thank you for reading!

[Andrés Castillo (Game Music Hub) @VGMusicHub]

This is one of TWO articles coming up about the game's music in the wake of its 7th anniversary last week.

I hope you'll join me in this two-week journey through this wonderful score.
