2K Sports, the sports publishing label of Take-Two Interactive
Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), today announced the soundtrack for NHL®
2K8, featuring an eclectic group of artists chosen to reflect the
spirit of the sport and the enthusiasm of its fans. The selection
ranges from indie stalwarts Bloc Party and Tokyo Police Club to the
stadium-thundering sound of alt-rock legends Korn and the classic metal
anthems of Quiet Riot.
“For the NHL 2K8 soundtrack, we wanted
music that resonates with today’s hockey gamer whose tastes draw from
both the mainstream and underground scenes,” said Tim Rosa, Director of
Brand and Lifestyle Marketing for 2K Sports. “The high quality and
energy level of the music delivers the full experience our fans have

Also bringing their fire
to the ice is Comeback Kid on the bleeding edge of indie rock and
metal, the Apostates with the rebellious bounce of British punk, the
snare drum assaulting metal of Early Man, Bloc Party’s stadium thumping

Club. Unifying them all are pervasive beats that truly reflect the
spirit of hockey and create an indelible gaming experience.
