You may remember Kevin Sung's summaries of the Heroes of Might and Magic V plot to which I linked to earlier this year. While recovering from a major jaw surgery (check out the day-to-day pictures in his archives), Kevin took the time to review all tracks from the Heroes V score. Here is his take on the swamp theme:

"In the past games, swamps have been associated with very morose melodies. Here, the composer breaks the mold by turning the song into pure dissonance. And yet, it works. The tolling bells and background howling do well in reflecting the mood of the necromancers who have taken up residence."

He does a good job of finding the bits and parts that are reused from one track to another, and the central melodies Romero and King have used as the core of their very cinematic score. Nearly a year later, what do you think of the music from the latest Heroes game?
