Jon Everist, who has composed the music for Shadowrun: Hong Kong and my choice for the composer of the year in 2015 has just released six tracks from his score to the upcoming Indie Game Necropolis. Necropolis is a gorgeous looking game of brutal combat and survival, set in a magical deathtrap that shifts and reconstructs itself around you. It’s tag line is: “Will you find the exit, or die trying?” I have listened to all six tracks and have to say that I can’t wait to hear the rest of the score, it’s dark, intriguing, and at times mesmerizing. My personal favorite track so far is the groovy “Official PAXEast Trailer Music”.
You can watch the trailer to the game which is made by HarebrainedSchemes below which reminds me a bit of Dark Souls meets The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker.
Jon Everist has more of his music available on his Soundcloud page which I recommend you check out. I exchanged emails with Jon Everist after I bought his Shadowrun: Hong Kong CD Soundtrack, he said that his next big project is scoring the music to Battletech and working with a 66 piece orchestra. You can follow the status of both of this upcoming games on the HarebrainedSchemes website.
What do you think of the first six tracks from Necropolis?
