Halo 2: preview to the soundtrack

Like it or not, it's definitely
contemporary rock. Click the picture to the right to hear the sample yourself. The band is Breaking Benjamin, and the track is called "Blow Me Away". It's hard to say how the music will fit into the game without any context, but the new sound is not necessarily a bad sound. The Halo 2 Soundtrack will be available alongside the game on November 9, and besides Breaking Benjamin, features Incubus,
Hoobastank, Nile Rodgers, Nataraj and guitarist Steve Vai. Music was vital to the first Halo, and we trust that Bungie made the right decisions for the sequel. Drop us a line with your first impressions.
