The one original theme I did revisit, though, was the victory theme when you’ve completed the game. I was able to introduce a new theme for the Storm King and also a new “hero” theme.

The music of Fury is always accompanied by a slight world music vibe. I was inspired by the creativity of the world that the studio Gunfire Games has developed, and the amazing design of all the creatures and bosses. For your score for Darksiders III, did you draw upon church music or other religious sounds to help formulate the sound? Or was it independent of those influences?įor the most part, all the music in Darksiders III is a purely original sound. He is best known for his compositions for games like Jericho, Borderlands, and Bloodborne.įlickering Myth had the privilege to talk to him about his work on Darksiders III and Fortnite, and I in turn had the honor to conduct it:ĭarksiders has always drawn heavily on the Abrahamic religions for its story and mythos, and Darksiders III is no exception to that with the main plot being the confrontation and destruction of the 7 Deadly Sins.
