A Soundtrack That Lusts Revenge
Over 40 songs running the punk to metal to electronic gamut are set for Burnout Revenge.
Published: August 23, 2005
You might hate Electronic Arts, but damn, do they know how to assemble a soundtrack. The company revealed today the line-up of tracks worth causing a massive traffic accident to hear, and by that, we mean featured in Burnout Revenge. It's 40+ songs with enough punk, rock, alternative and electronic to overload your cranium, with a track debut by Yellowcard with "Lights And Sounds" and an original-as-all-hell remix of The Doors' "Break On Through (To The Other Side)" by the one and only BT. Boy does EA have our number... with the latter two, that is.
“EA continues to drive videogames to the forefront of musical discovery by launching new songs through the games," says a certain Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing at EA. "We are really excited that Burnout Revenge will be the first place for music fans worldwide to hear Yellowcard’s hot new single. The break-neck pace and bone-crushing intensity of this game could only be matched by a high-energy mix of new music. Last year, the soundtrack was characterized by indie, emo and punk – this year, we are building on that foundation and delivering an even broader mix of mind-blowing music.”
"All music should have a label!"
