6It is done by Music/MickGordon. Do you need anything else said?

8%%* The initial trailer used a modified version of Music/JimiHendrix's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tcuohkQzOI "All Along The Watchtower"]].
9* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teJ8NeUORDo Deathshead's theme]], just as [[NightmareFuel terrifying and evil]] as the [[MadDoctor man]] [[MadScientist himself]]. The screeching notes even sound like [[HellIsThatNoise distorted screams]].
10* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtwvEBxrB54 The New Order]]" introduces [[DayOfTheJackboot the Nazi-dominated world]] ''very'' well. Bonus points for the hard-rock feel--perfect for getting you psyched up to go in guns blazing! It's not available on the soundtrack itself, sadly, but a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcrn8Gng9NY incredibly badass remix]] of "The New Order" plays during the final chapter as Blazkowitz storms Deathshead's compound.
11* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyHIAtfTkKU Ransacked]]" sets the stage for when your safe house gets ransacked by the Nazis, your fellow freedom fighters are either killed or captured, and you're fighting through it. It starts out solemn and sad, with the guitar version of a LonelyPianoPiece...then the music swells into hard rock n' roll, reflecting Blazkowitz's (and probably the player's) rising anger and heartfelt determination to go and even the score.
12* The Radio songs from InUniverse music company Neumond Recordings are pretty sweet as well[[note]]Videos have English lyric translations in descriptions[[/note]]:
13** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7jWg-gHjgM Mein kleiner VW]]"[[note]]My Little Volkswagen[[/note]] is a ton of fun, and that saxophone solo near the end...
14** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ4HAxnb0cQ Boom Boom!]]" is a surprisingly great German cover of the John Lee Hooker original.
15** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_ryo87sWXo Ein Haus in Neu Berlin]]", a Germanized version of "[[Music/TheAnimals The House of the Rising Sun]]" is, surprisingly, nearly as good as the original.
16%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYDbWza2B6o "Berlin Boys and Stuttgart Girls"]] is fantastic.
17* Now ''The Old Blood'' gives us an amazing cover of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG_ZEovDDKk The Partisan]]", a French song about the French Resistance in WWII, with vocals performed by Australian musician TexPerkins.
18* The music that plays when B.J hijacks control of Herr Faust and goes on a rampage through Camp Belica (which includes guitarwork by [[Music/{{Meshuggah}} Fredrik Thordendal]]) is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isAjqgqBS4w just badass]].
19* If one chose the Wyatt timeline, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg-6k_mdbj4 J's brief rendition]] of The Star-Spangled Banner (skip to 0:54) as the Kreisau headquarters goes down in flames may sound [[Music/JimiHendrix very]] [[HistoricalDomainCharacter familiar...]]
