Mass Effect 3 Gets A New Sound

Clint Mansell, who wrote the compelling music in the recent psychological thriller "Black Swan", will be writing the music for Mass Effect 3 when it comes out later this year. Mansell's most famous composition was "Lux Aeterna", the theme to Requiem For A Dream. Clint hasn't been a complete stranger to the video games, he is also credited with scoring the music for the, unfortunately poor selling silver screen adaptation of Doom 3. I am interested to see how well Clint Mansell will step up to the plate, not only since this is his first foray into the video game genre, but also because he is a new face in the sequel to a big selling title. With his experience in films like "Black Swan", he is definitely well equipped for a sci-fi action game like Mass Effect. If you would like to read the Kotaku article click here.

Also for those interested, I have embedded a YouTube video here of "Lux Aeterna"
