If you got lost in space and time, stumbled onto this page by accident and don't already own Broforce, buy it here
And while you're waiting for your Freedom to download, check out the theme song we recorded for the game. You can buy it here on Bandcamp!
Produced by Jo Ellis and Deon van Heerden, the Broforce soundtrack is a musical fist to the face that is your ears. 

You know what we mean.

Featuring the Broforce theme song by Strident, ultra-patriotic tracks The Ballad of Rambro and The Star Spangled Banner, massive percussion ensemble level music, power metal stings and epic hybrid scoring boss battles, this is the sound of a vinyl needle dragging over a disk made of pure testosterone.

It also includes a ton of bonus tracks, such as music from the (mumble mumble)-Award-winning Expendables 3 tie-in game, ExpendaBros, the original proof of concept tracks, and that fiddly-fiddly guitar solo that plays at the end of the levels. Hell yeah!

Personnel: 

Deon van Heerden: 
Composition, arrangement, guitars, MIDI programming
Christian Burgess: 
Drums and percussion
Jo Ellis:
Production, mix and master. Also bass and additional guitars. And cowboy hat.

So, while you wait for your purchase - or, more realistically, a torrent of 128kbp/s mp3s re-encoded from already-crappy Youtube rips - to download, here are some fun facts:

  • The album's massive percussion tracks were achieved by blending sample libraries with countless layers of live percussion - played by Christian Burgess of Strident - recorded at Jo Ellis' Blue Room Studios, as well as the Ladismith Church Hall.

  • This live percussion included standard drum kits, anvils, rain sticks, tablas, djembes and Chris' own body. You know, because we could.

  • The album features none of those amp simulators the kids are using nowadays. These are all Vintage Marshalls, baby. A Super Bass and a JCM800, to be precise.

  • We used 12 different guitars; partly for a rich, varied sonic experience, and partly (well, mostly) just because we could.

  • The soundtrack is rated M in Australia, for Manly.

  • Broforce was responsible for 16% of South Africa's GDP in 2015.

  • If you're still reading this, you're seriously hard up for entertainment.
