"SLAVES OF FEAR (ARENA WAR REMIX)" reworks Health's track into something even more abrasive, while "KNIGHTRIDERS" channels that Stephen King-meets-road-warrior vibe with driving industrial aggression. "WAR FOR THE BLACKENED EARTH" sounds exactly like what you'd blast while a monster truck with a flamethrower attachment chases you around a burning arena.
"THE WHEEL" and "RISK OF DEATH" keep the intensity pinned at maximum, each track built for the moment when the crowd is screaming and your vehicle is on fire but you're still going. "SUNRISE-WINDSHIELD" is the closest thing to a breather, and even that feels like the calm between rounds rather than actual peace.
"ARENA WAR THEME" ties it all together as the main musical identity of the mode. This is a soundtrack that knows its audience showed up for explosions and has zero interest in subtlety. It delivers exactly that.
