“Scoring video games is something I’ve always wanted to do since I played Doom when I was 11”: How a video game about a cult led by a lamb united 5 of today’s greatest metal players in a quest for brutality

Scott LePage performs live on stage at the annual Rock Am Ring festival at Nuerburgring on June 09, 2024 in Nuerburg, Germany.

Like many guitarists of his generation, the guitar playing of Polyphia’s Scott LePage has been heavily impacted by video game music. “The original Starcraft might be the single most influential soundtrack to me,” he says. “Man, it takes you on a journey.”

Appearing on the rebooted soundtrack for the Cult of the Lamb video game, then, satisfies a lifelong dream. It doesn’t hurt that he features alongside Matt Heafy (Trivium), Javier Reyes (Animals As Leaders/Mestis), Josh Baines (Malevolence) and Sean Long (While She Sleeps).
