November 15th, 2001 was the day that video games changed forever. With the release of Halo: Combat Evolved, Xbox had found it’s killer app and from it, came a whole new franchise of games with an amazing soundtrack to boot. This is my tribute to the series and the many composers who contributed to the Halo games over the last two decades and their brilliant work creating some of the most inspiring, emotive, and unforgettable pieces of music. This cover includes pieces from every Halo game - from the iconic Halo Theme featured in the first three games and it’s rockified cover performed by legendary guitarist Steve Vai, to 117 from Halo 4, Spirit of Fire from the Halo Wars series, Finale from Halo 3 ODST, Overture from Halo Reach, Blue Team from Halo 5 and much, much more. See if you can pinpoint all the references to other songs! There’s plenty of cheeky samples from some of the original tracks as well. And while it's not completely accurate in all parts, I blame my laziness of learning it all by ear and not bothering to find accurate sheet music.

This one goes out to Halo’s amazing fanbase and community - the people who have stood by this series through thick and thin. The talented developers from Bungie, 343 Industries, Certain Affinity and the many other studios who have contributed to the franchise, and because I couldn’t fit it in the video, to Marty O’Donnell, Michael Salvatori, Nile Rogers, Stephen Rippy, Neil Davidge, Kazuma Jinnouchi, Tom Salta, and the many, many others who helped to create the amazing music in these games. I would gladly wash your cars free of charge if it meant sharing a beer and having a chat afterwards. Thanks for 20 years of awesome music, and here’s to the next 20 as we welcome in Halo Infinite to the world in just a few weeks!
