Earlier this week, we got a taste of the audio terror that’s in store for us with Sumo Digital and Gun Interactive’s upcoming asymmetrical horror title The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Now, to add to that, Gun Interactive have done something a little different with the reveal of “a one of a kind creative project” in Remains: The Companion Album to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Game.
Composed by Wes Keltner & Jim Bonney, the album is described by Keltner as “a direct reflection of what Kim Henkel wrote [for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre film], influenced by the events that led up to that moment and why the Slaughter family did the things they did and it’s about that town that they grew up in and around.”
“Wes called and asked if I would be interested in writing music about what happened before the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie,” explains Bonney. “The story of a town before their only source of income dried up. The story of a family, before they were left behind by friends or co-workers, with no job prospects, alone on their family homestead to fend for themselves the best they knew how.”
“The overall goal was to create music that was inherently evil, but not cartoonish. Heavy, without lacking sensitivity, slow and menacing, but never without soul. I really enjoyed collaborating with Wes. He offered me a clear, driven direction, and throughout the process he pushed me to create better music, but he also left space for me to experiment and to leave my own mark within the music.”
To clarify, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre official game soundtrack is and will be a separate entity from Remains. However, both albums will be available in their entirety on streaming services proir to the game launching next year. “If you’re looking for the tracks you hear in the menus and in game, the official soundtrack is for you. But for the listener that wants to dive deeper, that wants to hear something dark and abstract, thematic and inspired, Remains might be what you’re looking for.”
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre arrives in 2023 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. The game will also be available on Xbox Game Pass on Xbox and PC.
