Velasco is one of the most sought-after composers in the medium, best known for his award-winning music featured in the God of War and Mass Effect franchises. Recorded with world-class orchestra musicians and choir from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Hungary, Velasco's score for Company of Heroes 2 majestically captures the solemn heroism and human tragedy of the Eastern Front conflict during World War II.

"Cris Velasco's score perfectly captures the heroism and tragedy that we set out to portray in Company of Heroes 2," said Relic Entertainment Audio Director David Renn. "Cris worked tirelessly to provide us with rich and compelling music that is unlike any game soundtrack I have ever heard. From the depths of the Russian winter to the epic scale of Eastern Front battles, the score supports the game in a truly cinematic way and we couldn't be happier with the result."

"I approached this score from the very beginning as more of a 'Symphony for the Eastern Front' rather than a typical game score," said Cris Velasco. "The music sets out to convey the horror of war and the determination of the Russian soldiers."
