Soundtrack for MX Vs ATV Reflex

AGOURA HILLS, Calif.
(January 26, 2010)
– THQ Inc. today announced
the official soundtrack for MX vs. ATV Reflex, the latest edition to the
multimillion unit-selling franchise, is now available for purchase and download
at online retailers worldwide. The soundtrack, helmed by renowned music industry
veteran Raymond Herrera (Fear Factory, Arkaea) through his company, 3volution
Productions, unites a powerful blend of original, hard hitting creations with
the game’s cutting edge features, including intuitive, dual-stick control and
real-time terrain deformation. In addition, the soundtrack is compatible with
most MP3 players (including with iPod), iTunes and Windows Media Player.
Recorded at Temple Studios in Chatsworth, Calif., which Herrera co-owns and
operates with B-Real (Cypress Hill), the soundtrack came to fruition through
collaboration between Herrera, his industry colleagues and the team at THQ’s
Rainbow Studios. The end result impressively reflects a variety of heavier music
styles, with influences such as Killswitch Engage, Soilwork, Corrosion of
Conformity and Fear Factory. Collaborators on the MX vs. ATV Reflex
soundtrack included Christian Olde Wolbers (Fear Factory, Arkaea), Jon Howard
(Threat Signal/Arkaea), heavy music industry professionals Jeff Kendrick and
Mike Spreitzer, as well as emerging hip-hop artist Young De.
“The MX vs. ATV Reflex soundtrack is a perfect example of great synergy
between the right music and a compelling gameplay experience,” said THQ Vice
President of Global Brand Management Brian Coleman. “The overall product is
certain to have appeal with a widespread audience of game enthusiasts, off-road
fans and mainstream consumers.”
“We wanted the soundtrack for MX vs. ATV Reflex to sound like a
full-fledged album, and as a long-time fan of Motocross, it was great to help
add the realism to this already amazing game and franchise,” said Herrera. “All
in all, it was a fun project to work on, and the end result sounds great –
especially every time I play the game!”
