Some of the best metal I’ve heard in years doesn’t come from a band. It’s actually come from videogame OSTs. DUSK is one such masterpiece.
Created by musician Andrew Hulshult, this thing is just sick. It’s a perfect mix of creepy ambient themes and fuzzed out, ear-slamming metal.
The entire soundtrack is excellent, but here are some of my favorite themes:
- 6:40 – Ashes to Ashes, Dusk to Dusk
- 11:03 – Alienation Akimbo
- 50:29 – Tension Ascension
- 2:01:49 – Burn In Hell
Really though, you can’t go wrong. If you’re sitting around coding all day or something, this is a great few hours to help the time blow by.
