If people are wondering what the intro song is, that means the music curation was a success, which is the case with Dead Island 2. With a much-awaited release after almost a decade in development, finally, we can enjoy some raw zombie-killing action. And what would an over-the-top title like Dead Island 2 do without a great music selection? Well, apparently, Dambuster Studios hit the mark, so today, we will discover Dead Island 2’s intro song name. Go ahead and survive the zombie swarm and continue reading.
What is the Intro Song for Dead Island 2?
- So, what is the intro song’s name for Dead Island 2? Well, we are talking about Drown by Karen O and Danger Mouse, which was released in 2019 as part of the collaborative album Lux Prima between both artists. This is the song for the cinematic intro, and it makes quite a contrast with the destruction and intense madness that Dead Island 2 proposes. It is a slow and dark song, not a fast and playful one. If you are wondering, this could be considered an anempathetic song choice. This means that there is a contrast between the image and the sound regarding their tone. However, you could also say that the dark tones and lyrics could reflect the idea of death and tragedy that surrounds such an extreme setting.
What about the song in Dead Island 2 during the game’s intro and character selection? In that case, we are talking about Stay Alive by FFM featuring Feliz Bushe. It is pretty much an upbeat and dark piece of music which is a more fitting or empathetic choice for an action-filled zombie game. It even has that video game feeling thanks to the melody played by the guitar. Again, it is a matter of perspective and artistic choice. In case you are wondering, here are all the songs and instrumental music included in Dead Island 2. All other original compositions were made by Ryan Williams.
