Yup, same here. I didnt even notice that you can turn "lyrics on."

But in all honesty, I dont care who made the music or if there is lyrics. Sooooo, yeahhhhh.

Yea, for some reason i like the music without lyrics over with lyrics, it fits a lot better with the way music was in killing floor as well.

One thing that would be cool though would be a music player like in Alien Swarm, you can import your own music from your files and it will play them on critical points. Not sure how difficult it would be to make a system like this but it would be neat to just drag and drop in your own soundtrack, i would have pretty much most of the iron maiden discography in there.

Idk I just simply liked what TWI chose. Then went further. Suicide Silence, Five Finger Death Punch, As I Lay Dying, Dethklok, you know.....the essentials :3 It's even on the forums for everyone else to grab XD Though I would suggest waiting until I get the one song I somehow missed in the replacement. But since I won't have Inet until tuesday (moving into a new house) I won't be able to upload my revisions to the music pack nor will the Ambience Pack be uploaded.

I just find it odd that most if not all the bands featured in the soundtrack are christian metal bands, and dont get me wrong, the music is fine, i even bought an album of becoming the archetype because of "mountain of souls" easily the best song for me, its just kinda funny that these guys are singing to god and salvation, in one of the goriest games of the year, i dont know if its fitting or hypocritical.

and why tripwire didnt want to add songs like "infectious cadaver" like in Kf1, is it because they dont want to get in trouble with religious peoples? Or some other reasons, im just very curious.

Actually this seems to be a rather interesting soundtrack. I might consider buying the Early Access version after all! :p

In all honesty, I couldn't care less whether the music was christian or not.
Music is music, the artists beliefs have no influence on you enjoying it or not.
Also the lyrics aren't blatantly preaching christianity or anything like that, so I honestly don't see the problem :D!


Oh and TWI forgot to add Fit For a King's Warpath :(.

Wait, what are you talking about? Can you replace the music tracks and have them play dynamically?

How can you recognize if the metal in KF2 is Christian Metal without the lyrics?

First of all, I'm a huge fan of the music in this game and think it rocks.

As far as it being thematic? I suppose you could argue that when the zombie apocalypse hits (so to speak), people in droves would be praying to their chosen lords for salvation amidst the chaos. This type of Christian music just so happens to have a heavy metal vibe which is suitable for the gritty nature of the game.

(Ugh, can't believe I felt the need to argue the merits of music selection in a video game. Must be yet another slow news day...)

Ezekiel 25:17, ahem:

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
