Cruising the Old 66 is the third single from Warlands - The Soundtrack (Bailey Records / April 21, 2009). In the game Warlands the Blackwood Mercenaries patrol old Route 66 – now referred to as the Devil’s Backbone – to keep it clear for supply runs and clear of raiders, mutants, zombies, and whatever else the Warlands have to offer. In a series of short stories written by Bryan “Stratos” Borgman and published in Aberrant’s Data Dump, the main character named Hunter Ortega begins his quest on the zombie-filled streets of Chicago before following the old 66 deep into the Warlands of the former USA. While composing the music for Warlands - The Soundtrack, Ive taken cue from a plethora of post-apocalyptic movies such as Death Race, Doomsday, Escape from New York, Terminator, and many more. Cruising the Old 66 once again features Trevor Peters on the talk box (as on “Snakes on the Playground”) and gives a nod to some of the jangly rock of yesteryear. Toss in some rockin and thrashin guitars along with some zombies and you have the desolate setting of Warlands. Visit aberrantgames for more details. Theme = Roll down the windows, warm up guns, and get your kicks on the old 66! Cruising the Old 66 is composed and arranged by Stratos of Bailey Records Composition and Sound Design - the team that brought you the Origins Award-nominated Universe87 Campaign Setting Soundtrack.
