Winter Assault Composer Announced News

THQ has today confirmed that Inon Zur will be the man behind the music of Dawn of War: Winter Assault, which is set for release on PC on September 23rd. The composer has worked on a range of movies, TV shows and videogames in the past including the Vietnam FPS â??Men of Valorâ?? and Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (main theme and cinematics respectively.)

Jonathan Dowdeswel, Relic Entertainment's producer for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, said, "Coming off of Dawn of War, we realized that we had underutilized the effectiveness of music to enhance the user experience in the game. For Winter Assault we wanted to strive for a much tighter connection between action, music, and story. We decided to work with Inon Zur and focus all of the music composition to relate directly to the Single Player campaigns. Each mission would have its own theme and mood. Inon did a great job of establishing those themesâ?¦On top of all that, Inon offered to spend some time in our studio discussing exact music placement in our missions with our Lead Designer, which took the musical experience up another notch. It has been a fantastic working relationship. We're really happy with the results, and look forward to working together in the future."

At the moment Zur is also working on the score for Ubisoftâ??s Prince of Persia 3, so it seems that weâ??ll be hearing a lot more of the composer in the future â?“ weâ??ll have more soonâ?¦
