command and conquer red alert 3 uprising soundtrack

The representations are all ridiculously stereotypical, but this has always been part of Red Alert’s humorous charm. One of the most enjoyable aspects of the soundtrack is how it contrasts the combat music for the three factions. It doesn’t quite have Klepacki’s individuality, but is still a solid take. The original “Hell March” also receives a punk-influenced cover by the American band From First to Last.

It’s made interesting by the virtuosic guitar performance, particularly how Klepacki rapidly repeats several bass notes. It’s essentially a hard-edged electric guitar solo punctuated by a few choir chants. For the expansion Uprising, Klepacki also contributed the original composition “The Red Menace”. They work wonderfully with the remaining rhythm guitar riffs and electronic elements to create a more vicious theme than ever. “Grinder 2” is a complete transformation of the Red Alert 2 original with its epic orchestral and Russian chorus elements. The result is so strange and addictive, though note that the live interpretation at Games in Concert 3 was even better. “Hell March 3” is the most over-the-top rendition of the series’ iconic theme, blending orchestral, choral, and electronic elements with Klepacki’s own hard rock guitar work. While he only contributes a few tracks, they’re each very memorable and entertaining. One of the big draws of Red Alert 3 was the return of Frank Klepacki to the series.

The resulting Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 Original Videogame Score was only actually released digitally, but offers the definitive full-length versions of most of the tracks from the original score.

A one disc soundtrack was released with the Premier Edition of the game while a two disc commercial release was intended for 2009. The resultant soundtrack was probably the most diverse of the series, blending the series’ characteristic hard rock focus with modern cinematic orchestration, dramatic gothic choruses, traditional Japanese influences, occasional electronic beats, and even some exceptional novelties. Electronic Arts went all-out with the music for the game, bringing back cult icon Frank Klepacki to the series, while letting Tim Wynn and James Hannigan handle the more serious material. Command & Conquer -Red Alert 3- Original Videogame ScoreĬommand & Conquer: Red Alert 3 revived the enormously popular Red Alert franchise after a seven year absence.
