Original Soundtrack[]

The cover for Peter McConnell's original soundtrack.

The original soundtrack for Brütal Legend consists of 20 tracks that are used throughout the game in the Brütal Campaign. The songs were composed by Tim Schafer's long term collaborator Peter McConnell, who also did the soundtracks for his previous games Grim Fandango and Psychonauts. He arranged orchestral pieces inspired by heavy metal to help tie in with the licensed soundtrack in the game. It is available on Vinyl, CD or MP3 album.

It was available to be bought from: Double Fine Amazon UK, Amazon US, eMusic, and also iTunes but it is no longer available. The original soundtrack of 20 songs is available from Steam still as of October 2021.
