Toxic Commando

The voice-over sets the tone straight away: another f*cking zombie game. Created with Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive, this trailer premiered at The Game Awards. The brief called for something loud, playful and unmistakably rooted in John Carpenter’s world.

We built the music around dark retrowave energy, 80s synth textures and a reworked version of the classical piece “In the Hall of the Mountain King.” The result is bold, cinematic and slightly unhinged. A track that supports the action, sharpens the humour and gives the trailer its own identity.

The final track, “In the Hall of the Zombie King,” was also released on streaming platforms. This gave fans a way to keep the music alive beyond the trailer, whether in their own gaming content, playlists or sessions.

For us, the work does not stop when the trailer goes live. We also look at how the music can travel further, reach the right audience and become part of the culture around the game.
