Adam Lastiwka’s Gears of War: E-Day score emphasises the human struggle of Bravo Squad and the people of Sera, exploring the idea of preserving something beautiful while everything around you is being destroyed. The composer balances thrilling action with forlorn, reflective moments, and the scraping and snarling sounds of subterranean aggressors. 

Harkening back to the original Gears of War game, snatches of unusual instrumental sounds emerge from the gloom, drenched in delay and reverb. Regular visits to The Home Depot became an integral part of the recording process for Lastiwka, as violent performances on custom and heavily modified instruments often ended in their destruction after a single take.

Gears of War: E-Day is also the heaviest Gears soundtrack yet, with a specific focus on percussion and fusing orchestral elements with modern metal production techniques. Renowned drummer Luke Holland is behind the ferocious drum hits in “Command and Control”.
