It seems like the perfect accompaniment to the bombastic over-the-top action of Poisonous command. Developed by Saber Interactive in collaboration with John Carpenter, the legendary filmmaker known for horror hits such as Halloween and The thingthe game challenges up to four co-op players to face the endless undead hordes spawned by an evil mud god.
Carpenter is a composer himself and has previously worked with Gunship and performed on songs such as Tech Noir and Tech Noir 2. “When John Carpenter calls… you answer,” Gunship said.
“We grew up completely obsessed with John’s films and his iconic soundtrack work. His artistry has been a constant source of inspiration and continues to shape the music we create as Gunship,” the group continued.
“Having been lucky enough to collaborate with him on two of our own tracks, saying yes when we were invited to contribute to his video game was an instant ‘hell yes!'”
Poisonous command is set to launch on March 12 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S and Series S, though PC players can get an early taste of the game in a Steam Next Fest demo available now.
To immerse yourself in the world before launch, you can stream Tell me when the world stops via all major music services including Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal.
