Following the immediate success of their new MMO Age of Conan, Funcom is bringing fans of the game something else to enhance their experience as they announced an official two disc soundtrack for the game. The first disc of the soundtrack is out now on iTunes, while the complete two disc set is coming later this month.
Focusing on the in-game orchestral music, all of the tracks featured on the first disc were composed and produced by Knut Avenstroup Haugen. Other musicians and acts that contributed to the score are Helen Bøksle and members of the Norwegian State Opera Choir.
“It has been a great honor to create the score for Age of Conan. To provide musical content for a universe that is so vast, so varied and so rich has been a huge undertaking, but an experience that never ceased to be immensely enjoyable,” said Knut Avenstroup Haugen, producer and composer on the Age of Conan soundtrack.
The second disc will feature eight more orchestral songs in addition to “no less than three” songs by rock band Turbonegro.
“It’s just perfect that Age of Conan is supported with a song from Turbonegro – the two hardest rocking pieces of entertainment to ever come out of Norway,” said Hank Von Helvete, lead singer of Turbonegro. “As a huge Conan fan, I am proud to be part of this statement against modern life boredom and common life impotency. Heads must and shall roll.”
