Packed on the same CD as the game’s data, the twelve tracks of this album offer a quick run through the music of Descent II, which leans into industrial metal and experimental electronic for its flavors. Brian Luzietti provides the bulk of the tunes, including the main theme, with some other obscure composers (e.g., Johann Langlie, Ron Valdez, and most of the other contributors) lending assistance here and there, while Skinny Puppy’s Kevin Ogilvie and Mark Walk turn in a couple of tracks, and an instrumental remix of Type O Negative’s “Haunted” is dropped in towards the end. For such a jumble, the music manages a surprisingly consistent mood and tone, aided by its sub-30-minute run-time, providing a clear slice of mid-’90s technolust attitude with electric guitars still ingrained.
