From there it dips into the more sedate, but equally mysterious musical elements of "Secret Invasion," an immense wall of strings creating a quietly unnerving sense of nefarious ne'er-do-well.
The music only escalates the mood, clashing cymbals and rolling drums creating a crescendo of frenzy. The soundtrack begins with the intense, almost Stygian expulsion of the aforementioned "Apocalypse," the overall vibe is somewhat evil, thanks to the escalating male and female vocals that wail and careen like some occult ceremony bespoke with hellfire.
For example, a section titled "Vegas" is appropriately technofied, while the opening salvo, "Apocalypse," is characteristically dark, brooding, and emphatically ominous. With the score to Blood Money, Kyd relies on his usual grandiose orchestral motifs and synthetic electronic wizardry, often combining the two to create swirling symphonic ambiance that resonates with the various locales of the game. Known for his dark orchestral compositions and continued use of the Budapest Symphony Orchestra and the Hungarian Radio Choir, Kyd has carved out a sonic niche that encapsulates the futuristic cold-blooded killer and mysterious espionage aspects of the game perfectly.
He is to the game like John Williams is to Steven Spielberg one cannot possibly fathom a new Hitman entry being released without an accompanying Kyd score. Composer Jesper Kyd has become synonymous with the Hitman franchise.
