"Rust & Steam" grinds with these low mechanical textures and slow-building dread that fits the marine side's desperate survival feel. "Infesting" goes full alien with organic, pulsing soundscapes and dissonant layers. The "Thirsty" tracks for Onos, Skulk, and Lerk each capture something predatory and hungry.
"Supernova" closes the whole thing with this massive expanding sound. Just raw sci-fi atmosphere. If you ever played marines in NS2 and felt genuine panic hearing alien footsteps in the vents above you, this soundtrack is why.
