Those looking forward to the release of Epic Games’ highly anticipated sequel Gears of War 2 for the Xbox 360, on November 7, 2008, may be pleased to hear that the game’s official soundtrack will be getting a release of its own come November 25, 2008.

The Gears of War 2 soundtrack has been composed by Steve Jablonsky – known for his work on popular Hollywood films including Transformers, The Island and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - and recorded by the Skywalker Symphonic Orchestra and Chorus at Skywalker Sound.

Jablonsky is quoted in a press release issued by Sumthing Else Music Works earlier this week (October 27, 2008) as saying that he “experimented with a lot of hybrid organic/electronic elements, and combined them with the power of a large orchestra and choir.”

The full track listing can be seen below:

1. Return Of The Omen 2. Hope Runs Deep 3. Green As Grass 4. Expectations 5. Finally, A Lead 6. Armored Prayer 7. Hold Them Off 8. Derrick Chase 9. Building Thunder 10. Hell Breaks Loose 11. Bedlam 12. Breakneck 13. Landown 14. Racing To Extinction 15. If They Can Ride Em 16. Hollow 17. Unexpected Changes 18. March Of The Horde 19. Highway 20. Denizens Of The Deep 21. With Sympathy 22. Insurmountable Odds 23. Bump In The Night 24. Frenzy 25. Outpost 26. Finale 27. Autumn Of Mankind

Epic Game’s audio director Mike Larson notes in the aforementioned press release that the Gears of War 2 audio team “aimed to create something a bit more serious, cinematic, and refined with a harder-hitting approach toward composition and production.”

You can judge for yourself when the game hits North America on November 7, 2008.
