Lord of the Rings: War in the North soundtrack to be released

The soundtrack for the Lord of the Rings: War in the North video game will officially be released on 1 November. The original score was composed by award-winning composer Inon Zur, and will release the same day as the game.

“Composing the music for The Lord of the Rings: War in the North was a very inspirational, creative process,” said Zur.

“The story is very compelling, and this had a direct influence on my music. As a long-time fan of The Lord of the Rings, I always dreamed to be a part of this franchise, and when this dream came true, I was extremely motivated to tell the emotional story of this dark heroic adventure and its captivating characters,” he added.

“Bringing on board the London Philharmonia Orchestra at the legendary Abbey Road studios magnified the music to new heights. I am so grateful to Warner Bros. for their support and I’m very excited to have you, the players, be a part of this musical experience and hope you will be as engaged as myself.”

The album can be purchased digital retailers and the CD will be available at Amazon.com
