We talked a bit about the art style and world of Mandragora in our last post which looked at Braer Castle (you can read it here if you haven’t already) so today we’re gonna talk a bit about the music in Mandragora.
To complete the dark and gothic but beautiful style we’ve got reflected in the artwork, we knew we also needed an epic soundtrack that heightens the emotions and atmosphere of each individual scene. And there was one person that the team had in mind from the beginning - luckily he loved the idea and jumped on board bringing his unique vision to the world of Faelduum - none other than Christos Antoniou of Septicflesh.
A pioneer of Greek metal, Christos Antoniou’s approach to music that combines explosive gothic metal, classic fantasy features as well as modern music elements was perfect for Mandragora’s score.
“Mandragora has an epic, dark fantasy aesthetic that really spoke to me. When the team approached me about becoming the composer for the game, I was excited by the opportunity to both create music for a video game and to help bring this atmospheric world to life.”
While the soundtrack is not finished yet, you can already listen to a little snippet of it, as performed by the FILMharmonic Orchestra and Choir of Prague, under the watchful eye and supporting presence of Christos by clicking here.
Under Christos’ guidance and his masterfully crafted compositions that range from tense or suspenseful themes to eerily haunted songs to grand, sweeping melodies, we hope to really bring the world of Faelduum to life, setting the tone for an immersive gameplay experience.
