My interpretation of what would be Strogg and Peeker's (Quake Champions) theme song! I was kind of envisioning how fighting game characters have their tracks that play while I made this. Right off the bat I wanted to sample a drone taking off and I incorporated that into the textured sound effect at the beginning, with the beginning notes of the ETQW Main Theme/Strogg Victory Theme playing on top. The Strogg were introduced in Q2, so I figured it would only be appropriate to reference a track from that game as well as sort of a callsign for them. The ETQW Theme has a big dramatic climax that I knew I wanted to use as the ending, with it being arranged as Orchestral+Choir in the original. I recreated that on my end, and then translated it to the sort of Industrial/Metal style consistent with the rest of the champion themes.

My interpretation of what would be Ranger's (Quake Champions) theme song! I was kind of envisioning how fighting game characters have their tracks that play while I made this. With Ranger originating from Quake 1, I knew it's soundtrack needed a heavy presence in this one. I threw in references to the tracks Quake Theme, Aftermath, Hall of Souls, and Life. Going with the sort of Gothic theme that Q1 had, throwing in a little pipe organ would hurt either as the Volkerh mapset utilizes it as well. 

A good chunk of the Q1 OST is in the key of D, and deviating from that ended up sound wrong, so in order to get my guitars as low as I wanted them to... I didn't use them. The heavy parts are actually a bass guitar using electric guitar processing. In my mind, this track is my impression of Sonic Mayhem and Mick Gordon interpreting Trent Reznor's classic Quake OST.

Ranger has a tragic story, as he was ripped from his family and tossed into the nightmarish world of Quake from which he can't seem to awaken. I wanted to reflect this in the somber tone of the chorus in this track (and inadvertently ended up giving a subtle nod to the Max Payne theme). Part of me wanted this song to end on a looping fade out to sort of reflect him being trapped in hell.
