In more music news, film, television and video game composer Garry Schyman has created the original music score for Destroy All Humans: Path of the Furons, the latest installment in the human-probing series. The game is set in the ‘70s and the score is inspired by music styles from that era, including classic film scores by Lalo Schifrin, Jerry Goldsmith and Roy Budd. It was recorded with a live symphony orchestra as well as a brass band, flute soloist and more.

“The idea for DAH3 was to continue the approach set in DAH1 and DAH2 as though I was a film composer writing in that period,” said Garry Schyman. “Of course wah wah guitar is slathered throughout because it was so ubiquitous and influential. Personally this is my favorite of the three DAH scores. I love this style of music!”

The game is due out next month on Xbox 360.

Audiophiles listen up: Sumthing Else has announced that they will release the original music score composed by Ed Lima and Duncan Watt, offering all of the music from the game in one conveniently packed CD. It is due out November 25 via retail stores and through digital download and iTunes.

The score has been composed by Ed Lima (Prey, Doom 3) and Duncan Watt (Need for Speed: ProStreet). Interestingly, no music had been featured during gameplay, but the score was composed to support the story, accompanying cut-scenes and menus in the game. It was recorded with the Filmharmonic Orchestra and Choir at the Dvorak Hall of Rudolfinum in Prague. Below is the track list:

• Main Theme
• The Story So Far
• Baker’s Dozen
• Double Time
• The First Bad News / Letters To Loved Ones
• For Matthew
• We Happy Fewer
• Eindhoven/Roadblocks/Frankie’s Choice

Not much is known about Sony Japan’s Afrika, which was only shown at E3 2006 and the Tokyo Game Show through short trailers. However, the game is still in major development, as Sony recently picked Los Angeles-based composer Wataru Hokoyama to compose the game’s score, according to this 1UP report.

German metal outfit Blind Guardin has announced that it is composing a special song for Sacred 2, the upcoming sequel to the action-RPG by Ascaron Entertainment; the band will also make an in-game appearance.

Additionally, players can solve a quest in the game, which will unlock a bonus event where the motion-captured band performs their new song “live”.

Sacred 2 – Fallen Angel is the sequel to the most successful German RPG of all time. The game will feature two entirely different ways of playing – the light and shadow campaigns. The official website carries more information and media on the title.

Harmonix, MTV Games and Rhino Entertainment have announced that music by legendary band Grateful Dead will appear in Rock Band. The iconic group is making 18 master recordings available as digitally distributed levels following the game’s release this Holiday season. Some of the songs include classic tracks like “Uncle John’s Band”, “Touch of Grey” and “Sugar Magnolia.”

“Grateful Dead’s unique fusion of rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, and jazz challenged traditional musical boundaries and pushed the limits of creativity to produce a signature sound that is undeniably their own,” stated Paul DeGooyer, MTV’s Senior Vice President of Audio, Home Video and Electronic Games. “With an enormous legion of fans all over the world, Rock Band will give players a chance to interact with the music of these beloved rock pioneers and experience what Grateful Dead did best – jam from the depths of their souls.”

“Grateful Dead, with their 30 year career and their timeless music, are the perfect addition to Rock Band,” says Mark Pinkus, Rhino’s Senior Vice President of Strategic Marketing, Custom Product & Sync Licensing. “It’s going to be a blast playing along to songs ranging from the Dead’s earliest hit ‘Truckin” to their final hit ‘Touch of Grey.’ I’m confident that Rock Band will be instrumental in introducing kids to the magical music of Grateful Dead.”

Grateful Dead joins Metallica and The Who as artists offering downloadable content for the game. More artists are expected to be announced as the release date nears. Rock Band is set for release this Holiday season for PS3 Xbox 360, with PS2 and Wii editions forthcoming.
