Ready Or Not O.S.T.

VOID Interactive and Laced Records have squadded up to insert Ready or Not's deeply immersive, noir-tinged soundtrack into the vinyl-industrial supply chain. Ready or Not turned the tactical shooter genre on it's head with hyper-realistic gameplay and palm-sweating tension. Players are thrust right into the heart of high-stakes SWAT operations, from hostage situations to bomb threats, making split-second decisions.Music is integral to maintaining the game's sense of tension and release. Lead composer Zack Bower, along with collaborator Dan Liston, delivers a score that simmers with oozing ambience and low-lit industrial murk. Just like the game, tracks can switch on a dime from creeping anticipation to feverish intensity, with breakbeats exploding out of the haze. The soundtrack blurs the lines between environmental sound design and musical score, subtly blending rich instrumentation with warped samples. Footsteps echoing on metal patiently build into lumbering rhythms, while synthesizers flicker and spark like the lights of an underground meth lab. The subtle contrasts in the musicscapes create the feeling of a gritty, tangible world - a world of light and dark, lethal action and reaction.
