We made an album for our indie game where each track is about a different alien faction: Swapmeat - Rare & Questionable Cuts
I work on a co-op roguelite shooter called Swapmeat, and alongside a traditional OST (coming later), we also worked with a handful of local Seattle musicians to make an original album inspired by the alien factions in the game. Punk, alt-rock and weird in the best way.
The track names kind of tell you everything you need to know: "Holy Meat of The Cosmos," "To Meat Heim We Ride," "Tangus Betrayel." Each one is its own thing — different band, different faction, different vibe. "Beers and Bones" hits completely differently than "Dangerous Alien Nights" and that's kind of the point.
Reminds me a little of the Mewgenics soundtrack energy, as it’s a bit humorous and strange but it actually works (tho in a very different genre!)
Would love to know what everyone thinks, or if you have another favorite band-led game album you love!
