"Approaching Ragnarok" - from Rune

by Max on Fri 23 Nov 2007 05:00 AM PST | Permanent Link

In the third-person hack and slash game Rune (2000), you play a young Viking warrior hell bent on preventing a rogue Viking from unleashing a horde of mutated zombies (excuse me, I meant dishonored) and ravaging the world in the name of the mischievous god Loki.

Even though it was fairly linear and wasn't exactly revolutionary in terms of game play, it was visceral and atmospheric, and ultimately satisfying. And if you're gonna have a soundtrack to accompany Nordic badassery, tracks like "Approaching Ragnarok" would seem to fit the bill.

This is part of a two week-long series on music from computer games.

Introduction

Some of my online cohorts at the Songfight community decided to create blogs to highlight songs they like. I am now doing it as well, because I am a total lemming.

Songfight is a weekly songwriting competition based on titles provided by the site's administrators. I post there under the handle "Albatross." Go check it out. It's a gas.

My Own Noise

Can't sing my way out of a wet paper bag, but I play a few instruments with varying degrees of proficiency. As such, sometimes I record my own music. You can hear it here.

Latest song: "Take Five" (Dave Brubeck Quartet cover)
