The Eminence Symphony Orchestra, in association with Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., announced Echoes of War: The Music of Blizzard Entertainment--a 2-disc album and DVD package featuring a stirring collection of orchestral themes from across the Blizzard Entertainment universes.
Eminence has been performing music from popular games and anime titles for five years, thrilling audiences around the globe with their passionate performances and unique takes on classic melodies. In teaming up with Blizzard Entertainment, Eminence hopes to bring this style of musical presentation to even more listeners throughout the world.
The Echoes of War package will feature 15 unique arrangements from Blizzard Entertainment's catalogue, with several pieces coming from yet-to-be-released titles including World of Warcraft?: Wrath of the Lich King?, StarCraft II, and the recently announced Diablo III. 70 minutes of music will be featured in all, with bonus tracks arranged by special guests including the critically-acclaimed composer Kow Otani (Shadow of the Colossus).
The "Legendary Edition" will be available only on a limited, first-print basis. In addition to the music CD, it will also include an Echoes of War DVD, featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the recording sessions - held at Sydney's FOX Studios EQ: Trackdown Scoring Stage - as well as interviews with the composers and a comprehensive 32-page commemorative tome filled with additional photos, artwork, and additional information.
With over one hundred performers - including a number of international musicians - and even more people behind the scenes, Echoes of War is a fitting tribute to the epic legacy that Blizzard Entertainment has established with its music.
