God Of War (2005 Ost) - Various Artists (20Th Anniversary Edition)

The original 'God of War' was a bold statement of intent: challenging, brutally violent, steeped in Greek mythology, and visually spectacular. A pantheon of composers contributed to the game, fleshing out different areas and character themes. Shimmering Mediterranean atmospheres give way to enormous, tragic themes. Ancient and ethnic instrumentation sit alongside orchestral textures, all working towards the goal of establishing Kratos’ Greece as a place of magic and mysticism, divine machinations, and bloody conflict.
