More tracks were included in the Red Alert expansion packs: Counterstrike, The Aftermath and Retaliation.

I said ' Hell March.' He said 'That's the signature song for our next game.' Brett Sperry came in my office and said 'You got anything I can hear for the new C&C?' I played it for him. I wrote some more ambient style themes they asked me for, and then I began tinkering with this heavy metal song that I was trying to gear towards Nod for the next big C&C game. Originally intended to be the theme for the Brotherhood of Nod faction in the Covert Operations expansion to the original 1995 Command & Conquer game, the track eventually ended up enlisting itself as a staple in the Red Alert series instead.Īfter C&C came out we wasted no time kicking out Covert Ops. Among his most famous songs from the series is the theme of Red Alert, titled ' Hell March', which accents the style of the game with adrenalized riffs of electric guitar, the sounds of marching feet, and synthesizers to a quote that was commonly misinterpreted as German, but was eventually identified as a Canadian drill command saying ' Reform line, quick march'. Red Alert's original score was composed by Frank Klepacki and was voted the best video game soundtrack of 1996 by PC Gamer and Gameslice magazines.
