*"Paul you don't know Harkonnen as I do - their riffs are BRUTAL."*

This guy was 49 years old when he composed this album. And it was a one-off project for him. Amazing.

David Arkenstone went into god mode with this masterpiece. You can almost hear how much fun he's having on the guitar!

This is when shit got real. Up until the civil war you had been able to throw your Harkonnen weight around and roll over the factions with your beefier units. Then you find your own advantage being used against you and it sucks.

The Best Soundtrack in Video Game History

Musical supremacy.

HD remake of battle for dune now! :D

There's nothing like like marching up your heroic veteran Devastators to this music and razing enemy bases into dust.

I made a custom faction for House Harkonnen in Endless Space and just conquered the galaxy to this soundtrack.

This track went so well with the Harkonnen civil war mission. When it starts in the background while whoever you chose briefs you on your mission. (I always chose Gunseng)

evil and heroic

Between David Arkenstone and Frank Klapecki, the Harkonnen soundtrack practically sold the game

Best track in the whole game... needless to say, in the history of gaming. Just epic. What about that insane Heavy Metal guitar riff?

Шедевр на все времена! Сколько лет прошло, а до сих пор в памяти резня против Копека, или финальная атака на червя под эту композицию 🤘

No Wonder i was Always a harkonnen Player as kid. Their soundtrack slaps

One of the best Soundtrack of Emperor the battle for Dune. The Harkonnen have the best music of the game. It's my opinion.

awesome sound of guitars, perfect rock soundtrack for house harkonnen !

"Radiation at... heh, Whatever!"

3:12 epic!

2:42 - 2:58 My god.

Music I'd like to hear when a good battle plan comes together

David Arkenstone rules!

While watching Dune part 2 I was thinking if only this song were in it at some point, then it would be a true masterpiece

I loved this game so much. Harkonnen were so strong. I would love if an indie creator could make a new Dune game, it would be so bad ass

Один из лучших саундтреков к Дюне! Хотя надо отметить что к играм серии музыка всегда была великолепной.

This and Surrounded are my favorite tracks from Arkenstone. Ride the Worm from Klepacki and the Strategist round out all the houses for me. A shame they didn't make a track for the Sardaukar, Ix and Tleilaxu

everything rules in pentatonic scales

I ran the Harkonnen track for PVP in a game I played and this one turned me into a hate-fueled murder machine. Been using it for arena games ever since, when I feel like I need a boost of rage to help me. When this plays, everything dies.

Dark Alliiance: Harkonnen & Sardaukar.

I'll go deaf listening to this and I will be glad.

Wish another Dune game. This is so awesome :-) (and I am Ordos fan:-)

For the Baron!

Fucking Rocks !!!

Who as the rights to this game now ? as a HD Remaster would rule TIME TO PLAY AGAIN !

Proof that Frank Herbert was an Unreliable chronicler and that the Harkonnen were the good guys

ppl still commenting on this is just...

Love it....

One of my favorite songs from Emperor: Battle for Dune.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it out.

I would love to make a sequel to this game. Only major change I would make is replacing House Ordos with a resurgent House Corrino, with the explanation being the Corrinos razed the Ordos homeworld in order to avenge the deceased Emperor (who was killed through Ordos machinations); all happening while the 3 houses fought to defeat the Emperor Worm. Basically, after reclaiming the loyalty of the Sardaukar, the Corrinos aim to reclaim the throne; while fighting the Atreides and Harkonnens, who also aim to control the known universe. The subfactions would be the Fremen, the Smugglers, the Ixians, the Bene Tlielax, and the remnants of House Ordos.

WOW

For the Baron! Failure is Death!

Anyone got tabs or other notation for this song? I want to generate egregious amounts of noise pollution, just like the sons of Geidi Prime

RIGHT!!

Me,having hard time doing anything at 0:47 : "Forget it, I'am never giving up"

House Harkonnen campaign soundtrack is the only one that is heavily inspired by Toto work on original "Dune"

i do especially after i heard what bioware's gonna do with the next c&c games

So far I can only think of Tindalos Home or Eugen Systems to create a remake of Dune, EA (and by extention Petroglyph) are out of question after what they did to C&C and Relic still has to recover their credit after how they screwed all over the Dawn of War series. Tindalos have been learning some important development lessons with Etherium and Battlefleet Gothic Armada and their art department is absolutely fantastic (although they may need help with live-action films), while Eugen Systems actually got the guts to make a classic RTS despite limited funds and their Wargame series has been excellent. Funnily enough I think the original Act of Aggression may have worked quite interesting for a Dune setting, with spice being detected and mined at random positions. Maybe, just maybe, Gearbox could put Blackbird Interactive to work in a Dune RTS as a side project along with the current development of Homeworld 3. Come to think, who owns the right for a Dune game right now?

Some of us use various genres of Rock to purge the negativity out of their systems. Some use depressing rock, others use ultra fast rock, yet others focus more on vocals. And then.. There are creatures like me who purge their inner hate and rage on this sort of stuff. There is hatred in this track YAHAW! Feel the rage and let it out! :3

@ignas1130 No, he referred to the derivative products (games, in particular).

Why the bad guys always have the best music

0:50 - Starting to sound like _Blast Corps_ and _Starcraft_ had a baby.

4:49 - 5:55

Gdnius!

I disagree, the Dune series and world was, as a whole before that, already brilliant.

0:45

@ignas1130 Yeah, it was Dune 2000 that was the letdown (except for Edric O and Gimli). Dune 1 was decent considering it came out in 1992, Dune 2 was literally groundbreaking. (Please don't mention that Dune action game. I seriously wish to unsee what I had seen.)

The world of Dune....massive stuff. And Westwood provided nice promotion. Maybe after reading original Dune series, u will change your opinion. Ofc, Twilight fans are disappointed already.

My game doesn't work on my pc anymore... Lost something. Need to find a way. If someone can help me ! thx for the upload!

Review of achievements

when i declared war on Harkonnens and their reaction....

Only less than 20 percent work there now.

Listening this music i am Remember Akatsuki music from Uzumaki Naruto 😅

if you weren't using cd harkkonen you can have only 2/3 of all harrkonen soundtracks.

My god this so fucking epic! I didn't remember that EBfD had this trakc in it! Listening this while playing #MINDUSTRY (check it out, it's free!)

half of the family... . & not every Harkonenn are red. my sistar is a brunet te with the black black black eyes , and novadays her prefered metal - Calcium.)

The books were not shitty and nerdy

Ea shut them down, absored it into its own mass. Westoods chief players went into petrograph gamings (did they make or just join unsure) but the vast majority work there... And have made quite a few good games, A free RTS is coming from them and made a decent RTS thats really cheap to get... definate c&C feel. i mean who can forget the shit of C&C4? made me want to cry whilst playing it. A CAP ON UNITS? come on... i play for the mass of OP units... But i agree with you! Rock on westwood!

Why didn't this make it into Skirmish, noone will ever know... Oh wait, engine limitations?

Я даже когда играл за Атрейдесов , то вырубал их патриотичную хрень и ставил музыку Харконненов. Соник-танки и Минотавры под эти риффы тоже козырно смотрятся
