Helvetii Soundtrack By Dale North And Emi Evans Now Available
Last Friday Helvetii, a character-action game set in Gallic Celtic mythology, was released for consoles and PC (except XBox). You play as war chief Divico in 100BC Gaul, who has just declared victory over the invading Roman legion but is now fighting something an axe can’t slay — a mysterious rot claiming the land around him AND his body. Divico must journey out to undo the source of the rot and restore what was lost inside him. That’s the game, but the subject of this post is the soundtrack. The music to Helvetii was created by Dale North, a pretty prolific video game composer who’s done the tracks for RWBY: Arrowfell, Wizard of Legend, Dreamscaper, and also the theme tune for those “Nintendo Minute” videos from a few years ago. Since Helvetii takes place in another era with another culture, North felt he had to go the extra mile and supply lyrics in the native tongue. The finished soundtrack actually has lyrics in Gaulish, written and sung by Emi Evans
