I made this for Helmi Stefan's book "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Rise of the Monolith".

To quote Helmi on the summary: "A group of four loners go into the Zone, Earths most hazardous environment to follow the tale of the Monolith, a giant alien crystal supposedly granting any wish.
But instead of endless wealth and fame, their worst nightmares come true."

The ambient first half of it was basically me experimenting with the classic solitary guitar thing thats very popular in desolate and abandoned moods. I added some synths to give it a more modern technological feel as the Stalker universe isnt exactly the western or anything.

The metal second half I used Rob Zombie's work as primary inspiration and then ofcourse went with my usual dash of symphonics.

I hope you guys enjoy it.
