Relive the origin of the legendary Master Chief and the Spartan program with Tom Salta's original score to the three-part animated adaptation of one of Halo's most beloved stories. Kidnapped as children and conscripted into a brutal military training and augmentation program, the Spartans were designed to be the ultimate weapon against chaos and insurgency - but when a dangerous alien alliance known as the Covenant declares war on humanity, the Spartans might be our only hope.  Featuring the original song "Take This Life", lyrics written by Frank O'Connor and performed by acclaimed vocalist Jillian Aversa.

Isabel enters the Halo universe in a time of turmoil and loss and needs to quickly step up to some overwhelming challenges.  We wanted her theme to portray all of this in a musically poetic way.  So "Isabel's Awakening" is comprised of three sections:  First, an introduction and delicate statement of her main melodic theme.  Next, a lament to honor fallen heroes and to underscore the present strife and unrest.  Then finally, a reprise of her main theme that blossoms and grows into a bold and hopeful hero's song.

Isabel's Awakening - Halo Wars 2 OST (Music Composed By Gordy Haab And Finishing Move Inc.)

Atriox and the banished are a dark, gritty and powerful enemy, arguably one of the toughest opponents the UNSC has encountered to date - and they are also a very intelligent and nuanced group. We wanted to craft a sound scape that captured the raw power and brutality of the banished warlords, while simultaneously underscoring their complexities with beautiful orchestral details and bespoke musical sound design.  In this specific cue, we use powerful tribal drums and high tech electronic percussion to create an intense rhythmic foundation. Heavy brass and layered synths augment the rhythm with explosive stabs, expressing dread and fear, while strings add tension and color to create contrast.
