We are proud to announce that the Max Payne 3<\/a> Official Soundtrack will be available\"\"<\/a> digitally on May 23rd. Composed and recorded by LA-based band HEALTH<\/a>, the soundtrack features the song “TEARS” which is due for release as a single on iTunes on May 15th, coinciding with the game\u2019s console launch.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking on the soundtrack to Max Payne 3 was a great experience,\u201d said John Famiglietti of HEALTH. \u201cRockstar gave us the freedom to bring our own sound to Max\u2019s dark story, and we\u2019re really proud of the results.\u201d<\/p>\n

HEALTH\u2019s unique blend of rock, powerful drums and electronic soundscapes lends itself perfectly to the score for the game. Taking influences from Brazil, Max\u2019s native New York and the themes of the original games, HEALTH have put together a fantastic soundtrack that perfectly embodies the tone and the atmosphere of Max Payne 3. Distinctive arrangements unique to each level accompany Max on his journey through the game’s locations, perfectly framing the game’s epic action sequences and the dark and gritty story.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy using a band instead of a traditional composer, we\u2019ve created a soundtrack that sounds completely unique,\u201d said Ivan Pavlovich, Rockstar soundtrack supervisor. \u201cHEALTH have created hundreds of hours of amazing music for the game\u2019s score, and distilled it into a devastatingly moody and atmospheric soundtrack album.<\/p>\n

Excerpts from “TEARS” can be heard in the new Max Payne 3 TV spot<\/a> and you can hear more of what the band have to say about the game in their exclusive Q&A with Pitchfork<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Max Payne 3 soundtrack will also feature a new and exclusive track from S\u00e3o-Paulo-based Brazilian hip-hop artist, Emicida<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DJ mixes heard during Max Payne 3’s Nightclub chapter were compiled and mixed by Brooklyn based DJ collective Trouble & Bass<\/a>, and will be available free as a digital download following the game’s release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
