Aliens: Fireteam Elite - Full OST with text commentary

Love this sort of video! And I love your music. One of the best in the industry for sure!

I haven't played this game but now I think I will.

This is superb! It's stylistically unique, yet very much belongs in the Alien universe. The more times I hear this, the more I love it. It really grows on you with repeated listens. It gets under your skin (no pun intended) and I have much of it ruminating in my head even while I'm working. This is terrific scoring. Congratulation Austin and all involved in this!

finally, thank you.

Phenomenal stuff. I'm already making a playlist for when I run Alien RPGs for my friends. Perfect mood music.

Me encanta la cancion gigantes en la tierra me gusta demasiado me lleva a ese mundo ..me hace sentir esa sensacion de sobrevivir aliens fireteam un juegaso que jamas se olvidara

An excellent soundtrack for an excellent game!

This is... interesting. There's some stuff in this score I really love. And then there's this... weirdly "jazzy" and "film noir-like" stuff that I can't seem to quite get along with. It's like a weird tonal high-wire act. Sometimes the score gets to this "playful" state with the notation and harmonies and that feels strange. 😁 I've had this same issue with some Michael Kamen scores as well.

I do admire bringing something quite new to the table, it's just not quite for me. My taste of horror/sci-fi scoring is way too stuck on more traditional Lydian and Dies irae patterns I guess...

Fantastic work! I've been waiting for this.
Love every single one

Had no idea you composed the music for this. Explains why I enjoyed it so much! A highlight and nice synthesis between Alien, Aliens and Prometheus.

when the movie Titanic came out, i was merely a teenager, but the OST of it was among my favourite CDs(among those tracks, "the sinking" was really good).
years later, this Aliens Fireteam Elite OST brings me the similar feeling of magnificence and immensity.
the game itself is good enough to be among my favourite games as it combines the ALIENS franchise and 3rd person shooter together(they are both my top interests).
thank you for your outstanding music for this excellent game, Austin.

glad to finally hear this in its full glory, but theres a couple tracks i wish that made it on here, specifically 1-2 where you enter the room to get the codes off synths, and the turret defense sections in 4-1

Thank you! I have been waiting for this! Such talented artists, bravo

Big congratulations to you, Austin, on your GRAMMY nomination for best video game or interactive media soundtrack!

And now, a GRAMMY nomination well deserved! This work is fire! Congratulations!!

Congrats on your GRAMMY nomination, Austin. What an accomplishment you've made with this soundtrack, whether you scoop the award or not. Bravo.

Listening again after they grammy nomination. In the meantime, I have watched Thai Cave Rescue, and I must say the first minute of this OST kinda reminds me of that. Just imagination?

I absolutely love your soundtrack for Aliens: Fireteam Elite, I think it fits in perfectly for the action-packed side of the Aliens universe, and I adore how you were still able to give it some moments of calmer tension music. Your combinations of the themes that play throughout the game are wonderful and I hope that AFE releases more DLC with new music so I can hear more of your fantastic Aliens work.

Link to buy?

It is a tragedy this only has less than 300 likes!

Finally taking the time to listen to this. You weren't kidding when you said to listen for the synth wall. And you didn't spare the stereo. I can see some people getting dizzy with those wild pannings. The metal hitting effect (was it a pipe, a can?) used for percussion actually made me turn my head to see if there was something weird happening outside. More than music, this is sound design in general at its finest. Congrats for another job exceptionally well done!

Incredible that you posted this in its entirety. What a deeply atmospheric, engrossing soundtrack---amazing work.

Outfuckingstanding soundtrack...

I've been waiting for this! A new addition to the aliens symphony playlist

I especially like the Giants in the earth music. I guess it's cause it's different from the tracks that are more like the Aliens movie in a way that sounds surprisingly well. The flute-driven jungle feeling definitely helps it sound like Aliens mixed with some archeological dig.

Congratulations on the GRAMMY 🎉 Amazing work of Art

I loved the music they listen to on the ship, on that little radio, Left Upwell is great! Awesome idea, I'm glad they let you do this

The Soundtrack really made the game so much more enjoyable. Truely a work of art.

Well deserved Grammy nominee, thank you also for giving Elliott Goldenthal the credit he's due here, his beautiful music's as much the fundamental DNA of Alien as Horner or Goldsmith.

Hope you get to do plenty more if Cold Iron has more expansions planned.

This captures the vibe of Aliens. It has an air of mystery and tension

Just got the Aliens: Fireteam Elite game and I have to say that your music is glorious. It fits the game's mood so well!

Oh ! Is "the gift of fire" a deliberate homage to Forbidden Planet's score ?

I've been waiting for a release of the soundtrack since the game first launched. To get commentary from the composer alongside it is a very nice bonus.

Very interesting seeing your notes on how certain effects were created. So much creative work went into this soundtrack to capture the feeling of the film's atmosphere and it really paid off.

This OST is just so on point, really feels perfect in the setting and universe. Not sure if you were behind the choice too, but the sound design of using a sharp musical queue for headshots and jump scares is brilliant~!

So glad I found this amazing music!
It truly captures the original movie feel.

Мне нравится эта музыка. Под не одновременно удобно и сваливать от ксеноморфов обосрав себе штаны, так и разламывать им ебальники.

I played this game for several months back in 2022, and I absolutely LOVED the soundtrack. Great work Austin.

This is fantastic, vinyl box set please

Nice song,

I started laughing the first time playing the Giants in the Earth mission. Just a tad to whimsical and goofy.

Playing this game with my brother and a friend on Xbox. The music play a big role in the chaos moments and it truly makes great memories.

Thanks for your work on this game.

I’ve been playing FPS since Doom, and the quality of this soundtrack grabbed my attention unlike any I can remember in a while….. mybe Halo off the top of my head?

I like how Hoenikker is like the Jaws theme, and then it has those bleak-sounding bells.
