  The content of this review in short: this OST freaking rules, buy it and support the composer! If you're not lazy to read a few more sentences, here's more to you. First of all, I need to say a few starting words: I've been following Jitz and his work for a very long time, almost a decade since 2005 when I first heard his guitars in Serious Sam: The Second Encounter (even though I had no idea who exactly was the man behind the crushing riffs that practically lead me to metal music in general). If you wake me up in the middle of the night and ask - who's one of the most underrated guitarists of the last two decades, you bet you'll instantly hear Jitz's name in reply. From Undercode and classic Serious Sam games to Big Rock and his solo career, it was always a grand pleasure to see what Jitz was capable of. And I'm just really proud and glad that Ivan still makes music and he still literally rocks. This soundtrack in particular is a very solid addition to his musical achievements list. While - being honest here - not the heaviest and mindblowing work, it's certainly a great soundtrack for a fun and captivating game. Playing as Metalhead Marty on his quest to return stolen beer and crush Satan himself, running and jumping like a crazy burning bunny through the flying shores of hell, you may certainly expect some heavy music playing in background, and if you do - you'll get what you want, fellas. The music perfectly accompanies the gameplay, being both captivating, energetic, rushing you to move forward and at the same time not distracting you from the speedrunning process at all. It's there, it's driven and free, yet your ears never get overwhelmed while playing. Just like one of my friends said, this soundtrack is somewhat of a mix between the last Undercode's album and Ivan's solo album released in 2013. Kick-ass and dark heavy riffs, fast tempo and most importantly - fantastic, fast and melodic trademark Ivan's guitar solos will be a pleasure for all the fans of Serious Sam games in particular and metal music in general, especially for those of you who appreciate such legendary bands and artists as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Alice in Chains, Undercode e.t.c. You buy it and you basically get a solid metal album consisting of 10 awesome instrumental tracks with heavy guitars and blazing rhythms, as well as a great homage to our favorite rock and metal stars. All in all, it's a nice addition to any gamer's and metalhead's collection, so don't miss it at any cost. Once again, I'm very happy that my brother-in-metal Jitz is conquering new peaks, and I hope that he'll have more videogames soundtracks like this in the future and get more overall world-wide recognition he deserved after decades of his music career. Considering the last news from Croteam, I cannot wait for what he is up to in the upcoming Serious Sam 4 game, and soundtrack for «Seum: Speedrunners from Hell» is definitely a worthy opportunity to brighten up the waiting! Favorite tracks from the soundtrack: 'Welcome', 'Escape from SEUM', 'Broken Bridge', 'Riddle', 'Rush', 'Trapped in SEUM', 'Vortex', 'The Machine'... wait a second, am I gonna list all the songs from the OST now?

  Including my intial review beneath the break, but now includes the "Drunk Side of the Moon" track (which is the best in the game in my opinion) and is now complete. Buy this wicked OST, it's basically an 80s metal instrumental album. ----------------------- At time of this review, is missing the new track included for "Drunk Side of the Moon". Which is my favorite track in the game. (NOW RECTIFIED)

  Powerful music! Its a short OST but every single track is worth it. Worth getting at full price.
