Social Network and Dragon Tattoo composer gets involved with games.
Nine Inch Nails’ frontman Trent Reznor has composed the theme song for upcoming blockbuster title Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
Reznor, who has worked with id Software on Quake and Doom 3 in the past, has described the theme song as an “aggressively sounding” piece of guitar, bass, and drums-based rock.
“I have always looked to that franchise as the cutting edge of what seemingly unlimited budgets and full-on not cutting any corners can do in the current day and age,” said Reznor in an interview with USA Today.
“We were trying to think what is the kind of artist that could represent something a little bit dark, sometimes conflicted, bold original and engaging,” says Black Ops II director and writer Dave Anthony.
“Honestly, Trent’s name stuck out. He was perfect for it.”
Jack Wall, Video Games Live co-producer and Mass Effect 2 composer will be composing the rest of Black Ops 2′s music.
