Dead Island Trailer Theme Available On iTunes

by Adam Cook on February 28, 2011

The Dead Island debut trailer has certainly stirred things up on the internet! Forums and Facebook pages are all talking about the wonderful trailer and now, due to “unprecedented demand”, the theme is now available for purchase exclusively via iTunes for £0.79 or $0.99.

The popular original musical composition from Dead Island’s blockbuster announcement trailer has today been released on the iTunes Store. Produced by Savalas, the “Dead Island Trailer Theme” by Giles Lamb (featuring Mairi Campbell, Peter Nicholson & Guido De Groot) was a perfect musical accompaniment to the emotional and haunting trailer.

Dead Island, the upcoming gruesome zombie slasher by renowned developer Techland, combines first-person action with a heavy focus on melee combat, character development and customization of a vast array of weapons. All of these gameplay features are presented in a dark story inspired by classic zombie movies with a gritty and engrossing campaign that can be played with up to four players in co-op mode.

Set in an open world tropical island, hordes of different festering zombies await players around every corner while they embark on a variety of thrilling missions through the holiday resort. With firearms and ammunition being scarce the player must rely on utilizing found items as weapons for self-defense and fight off zombie hordes in intense melee combat. A diverse range of items can be collected and will later serve to transform the player’s ordinary makeshift weapons into serious instruments of destruction.
