Four tracks for one of Mass Effect 2's most disturbing storylines. The Overlord DLC explored what happens when Cerberus tries to control the geth by plugging a human mind into their network, and the score captures that body-horror premise with unsettling precision.

"Tension Rising" builds a creeping dread that mirrors your exploration of the overrun research stations, while "Boss Combat" scores the confrontation with the rogue VI with frantic, glitching energy that feels almost digital in its panic.
"Combat Troops" provides the action backbone for the DLC's firefights across multiple Cerberus facilities, layering that signature Mass Effect electronic-orchestral blend with an extra edge of wrongness. The Overlord missions had you driving the Hammerhead across open terrain and storming facility after facility, and this track kept the tension consistent throughout.
"Final Conversation" is where the emotional gut-punch lands. That last scene -- discovering David Archer hooked into the machine, the choice of what to do with him -- needed music that could carry genuine horror and compassion simultaneously.
Even at just four tracks, this might be the most emotionally devastating entry in the entire ME2 additional score series.
