Jesper Kyd to Score Warhammer: Vermintide II Soundtrack

Last Fall, it was announced that Borderlands composer Jesper Kyd would be creating the music for the latest installment of the Warhammer 40K expansion game, Vermintide. Now it appears that the game’s music was done well enough that Kyd has been signed on to do the music for the expansion’s sequel as well.

Inspired by Norse mythology, Jesper Kyd’s original score for Vermintide 2 explores ancient tribal music and dark magic fantasy elements as well as evolving the raw acoustic soundscape he developed for the first game. Kyd channels his Scandinavian roots, blending Viking and Norse-inspired vocals, ritualistic percussion styles and new custom-made instruments built specifically for Vermintide 2, to create another unique soundtrack experience.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 introduces the dark, bloody and twisted Norse tribe ‘Chaos’ as an enemy faction and is headed to PC and consoles in early 2018. You can check out more information about the game and soundtrack on the Vermintide website.
