The alternative nature of the soundtrack, beginning with the hair-raising “Deathshead,” reflects the distorted reality of the game, which includes hazy skies, urban desolation, and the swastika draped prominently over the remaining buildings of the game.
The album consists of a plethora of varying guitars and guitar techniques blended heavily with electronics and static-filled soundscapes. Perhaps the most immediate feature of the album is Gordon’s use of guitar. Gordon’s approach to the soundtrack is as unique as the game itself he created a very different sound from the average soundtracks with his combination of noisescapes, electronics, and guitar to create a strange, distorted soundtrack to match the strange, distorted world of Wolfenstein. Most recently, Wolfenstein: The New Order is written in an alternate historical world, in which Germany and the other Axis powers defeated the Allied Powers at the end of the Second World War. The series has had a huge influence on the popularity of the first-person shooter genre, and has not hesitated to take risks. Mick Gordon was continuing his retro-game streak when he signed on to compose for Wolfenstein: The New Order, a game that continues the Wolfenstein series first released in 1981 with Castle Wolfenstein.
