Style: Orchestral video game music
Primary Emotions/Themes: Crushing my soul with every pull of the cellos string
Thoughts: I don't think I know of a soundtrack that captures the brutality of winter more so than Frost Punk. The music contained in this album is so incredibly sad, so incredibly in tune with the profound sense of loss that the game creates that it's hard for me to make it all the way through in one sitting. The music has such a deeply profound effect on me that I have to take breaks.
The instrument of choice here is the cello. It is backed by a small selection of stringed instruments and together they create an atmosphere that is the very definition of soul crushing. Whoever they got to play out the music that Piotr Musial created are so in tune with their instruments that they have essentially become an extension of their body. It's rare to hear music played with this much passion.
The brutality of the game is channeled effortlessly into the cold notes of the soundtrack to Frostpunk. This is humanities last stand, and we are not going to make it. Join me now around this final fire of mankind as we prepare for the end together.
