Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has composed the theme song for Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
In an interview with USA Today, the game's signature tune is described as veering "towards guitar, bass, drum rock band aggression".
“
It didn't make sense to have a gung ho, patriotic feeling theme song. It has to feel weighty. There is a lot of remorse and apprehension here.
An avid gamer, Reznor has previously worked on both Quake and Doom 3, as well as the recent Girl with the Dragon Tattoo film. When asked about how he became involved with the project, Reznor explained, "I have always looked to that franchise as the cutting edge of what seemingly unlimited budgets and full-on not cutting any corners can do in the current day and age.
"What I learned in listening to the full story and the amount of effort that has gone into the back story and the characters and the full preparation there is a lot of reservation and angst and sense of loss and regret and anger bubbling under the surface. So it didn't make sense to have a gung ho, patriotic feeling theme song. It has to feel weighty. There is a lot of remorse and apprehension here."
He concluded by explaining that his choice of instruments was heavily influenced by the setting of the game, saying if it had been set during World War II then he may not have been so quick to move away from an orchestral sound.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II is due out November 13 on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC with a Wii U version also said to be in development.
