The soundtrack of the latest version of the hugely popular Madden games from Electronic Arts, which regularly peak the best-selling games lists each year has been announced.
There are about 35 songs in the list which features artists like Audioslave, Wolfmother, and Dynamite MC along with some new artists too. The mood of the album is mostly rock and hip- hop.
Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing at EA, said, “Year after year, the music selected for inclusion in EA’s smash hit football series invariably becomes the soundtrack of the football season, moving beyond the game to turn up in football stadiums and on live TV broadcasts.
