Empire: Total War Soundtrack Available For Pre-Order

Through their licensing relationship with SEGA leading game soundtrack distributor Sumthing Else are about to release the score to the PC RTS game Empire: Total War.

The Empire: Total War Soundtrack features an epic orchestral score composed primarily by lead composer Richard Beddow (Viking: Battle For Asgard), orchestrated and conducted by Nic Raine (Viking: Battle For Asgard) and performed by The Slovak National Symphony Orchestra at the Slovak Radio Concert Hall in Bratislava.

“Undertaking the challenge of the music production for Empire: Total War was no simple task,” said composer Richard Beddow. “The game needed music to convey its size and breadth, covering the various countries at war, delicately accompanying campaign gameplay and underpinning the various cinematics and events in the game.”

You can get a feel for the cinematic feel he is referring to in the following main theme:

Empire: Total War is set in the 18th century and includes gameplay themes such as the Industrial Revolution, America’s struggle for independence, the race to control Eastern trade routes and the globalization of war on land and sea. The game is widely considered to be one of the richest and most dynamic PC RTS game experiences of all time.

The Empire: Total War Soundtrack will be released on June 30th.
