EP Info

Back in 2019 I was hired to work as the music composer for the video game “Mechanized Assault”. After discussing the project with the game’s creator and now a good friend John Miele, we agreed that the music should enforce a sense of speed and energy, without the atmosphere becoming too dark. So I immediately went to speed metal and a more modern approach to classic metal, so that’s where the score started. From there I ended up writing around 10 tracks for the game, that were all built as loops to help the implementation of the audio, to feel more like they were a part of the game. After Mechanized Assault came out on April 24th 2019, I spent almost 2 years working on other projects, but I decided to go back to those loops, choose the best 3, and make them into complete songs, as well as fully remix and remaster them. That’s where the idea for the Soundtrack EP came from.

THE GAME

Mechanized Assault is a fast-paced, third person combat mecha simulator. In Mechanized Assault the player plays as the pilot of their own mecha. 

The mecha in Mechanized Assault are known as MISCU [miss-QUE] Frames. Each frame is customizable to every player with multiple use-able weapons and frame specific shoulder mounted weapons. This mechanic helps to customize each player's experience while still making each frame feel unique.

Mechanized Assault take place in the future year of 2120. Humanity has expanded their reach into the vastness of space by creating colony stations around and between different planets. Though this was a golden age for most of humanity, civilians in the farthest regions of space were not happy. They believed they’ve been misrepresented in the Earth’s government, holding very little political influence. These people decided to form their own army and rebel against the Earth government. The rebel forces known as the AEGF or Anti Earth Government Force. As the AEGF gains ground destroying military forces in their path they arrive on Earth’s doorstep and request a peace summit. This is where Mechanized Assault starts.
