David Arkenstone mostly makes mellow New Age Music. I don't know who switched his drugs for the duration of his work on this soundtrack, but I'm grateful for it.

This game has the immense honor in me for allowing my first victory against my father. I was like 10 or 12. He was atreides, I was harkonnen. I used the gunships (not the platform ones, the omnithopter equivalents!) to raid his base. He struck back in the next game but damn! it felt so good!

Research from the Feyd Institute on Geidi Prime proves this song: - Increases Tesosterone Production up to 400% - Spikes Growth Hormone - Increases Protein Synthesis Side effects include rapid facial hair growth and resistance to Radiation.

One of the few times Kelpacki was upstaged in a soundtrack. By David Arkenstone.

this shiii still goes years later! my childhood

This is with out a doubt my all time favorite song from any game, David Arkenstone is a fucking genius. It is a crying shame that few games these days have sound tracks on par with what they had when Emperor came out.

This is music for the Iron Warriors to get pumped before killing Imperial Fists.

David's rendition of the Harkonnen was so spot on, the music itself was more passionate and inspired than the game itself could ever wish to be. Well done!

Witnessing your harkonnen troops storming across the battlefield for a surprise rush attack while the enemy harvester gets eaten by a sandworm and this music plays in the background truly makes for an unique feel and gaming experience I haven't seen since. It's almost poetic.

I listen to the Harkonnen music while I paint Chaos Space Marines it just fits

"Full power, commander!"

Still listening after all those years

"HAVE YOU NO TONGUE?! PERHAPS YOU'RE WISER THAN YOUR APPEARANCE DICTATES!"

''Something small to kill!?'' ''AT ONCE!''

"FOR GEDI PRIME! AT WONCE! Smells like.... victory."

I really like this style of music. Metal without vocals Is great.

So fucking badass and awesome. Boring soundtracks from games nowadays are shit compared to such evergreen masterpieces. Beyond every level of awesomeness...

It gets better every time I hear it!

"I go....death will follow."

My brother and I loved the game. The music too.

It's times like this that I wished that my copy of Emperor: Battle For Dune still worked. Because the soundtrack was fantastic, and the gameplay was a great translation of Westwood RTS into the Dune universe, with a fresh coat of paint and the fantastic sub-house mechanic

2021 and that track is the best!!!

This track sounded best on Giedi Prime!

Pro tip: play the harkonnen music in the car on the highway.

What does NOD, the Soviets and the Harkonnen all have in common??? Theyr ALL freaking bad asses!

Ah yes, Emperor: Battle for Dune. This was definitely the best song in the game.

Nothing felt more unstoppable then a massive Harkonnen ground assault with this music. Ive nvr felt anything like i did in this game

Even though I prefer the Atreides "lore wise" so to speak, this song is by far the highlight of the entire soundtrack of the game. Absolutely magnificent! Every nuance and every variation of the melodies just gives me goose bumps!

It is litterally hard to believe, that Westwood put so damn much effort in a game IN 2001! Absolute awesome live action cut-scenes, a hands down killer-ost... and the gameplay itself was, IS, also awesome. Last time i touched this game, was over an decade ago. The Soundtrack though... i have it on my phone, in my car... it is glorious!

I remember i had an army consisting of 20 or more devastators. Then I accidentally pressed the "D" button....I think you know what happens next LOL

Majestic House Harkonnen! Reactors on Maximum!

That rocking nostalgia!

Just love playing harkonnen and listen to these songs feeling evil =P

It can't get more badass than this.

"Yes? At once! At once!" "Attack! ATTACK!"

Even if the Game was in Black and White, I would still play it, just to hear the music BTW- This was THE FIRST 3-D RTS Ever !!

Harkonnen music is great for playing either Dark Elves, Greenskins, Beastmen or Chaos/Norsca in Total War Warhammer 2

обожаю

Come to think of it, metal fits the Harkonnens perfectly : ruthless, brutal, swift and epically evil all at the same time.

Frank Klepacki who made the music for House Atreides, which is a great music producer, was vastly outdone by David Arkenstone.

Fuck when i first heard this song it blew my mind a game could have such awesome music. still one of the best game soundtracks ever made, IMHO.

В этой игре больше всего к харконненам именно благодаря музыке. Помню, как я ликовал, когда крушил опустошителями замок мерзавца Копека под этот саундтрек! 😆👍👍👍

When I listen to this track , I feel like a lone pilot of a Devastator unit, searching for the Atreides. In the very moment I find them I unleash hell upon them , decimating their ranks , annihilating their troops with a final ''For the Harkonen" and I self destruct, taking them with me.

Radiation? Heh, whatever.

tribute to badass

THE SPICE MUST FLOW!!!!

Harkonnen music is really epic and powerfull! My favorite)

What you are hearing is one of the best, if not THE best game soundtrack of all time.

"I Would Pay TEN LEIGEONS of Sau-dau-Kar Terror Troups" For the Guitar Tab to This Song -Barron Vladamir Harkonen

masterpiece of a soundtrack.!

The riffs must flow.

Burgers On! oh this game brings back many memories, I still have my copy of it in my CD wallet,

The best soundtrack ever... Only Skyrim Whiterun theme can compare :)

If music could impregnate i would pop out rock 'n' roll all day.

I had this stuck in my head all day, it was awesome.

It'll go smoothly when your devastator had a stealth capability like Guild Tank . . .

I play this music for my newborn... knowing that one day a knife in the back will take me down...

For the longest time I just assumed these tracks were composed by Frank Klepacki. Because, well, duh, it's metal, right? Nope, David Arkenstone! Who'd've thought?

The last one of the real oldschool RTS's..

Came to listen to this song right after I have watched dune 2021

"Mad Destruction!" -Harkonnen Missile Tank

красиво, и без слов... что еще надо для счастья?

"Gentlemen, to evil!."

David Arkenstone, you win the prize!

In the name of Geidi Prime, I welcome you. You have been given a rare opportunity Commander! You have been chosen the Harkonnen forces in this War of Assassins. A war that will determine the next heir to the Golden Lion throne, the next ruler of the known universe. Destroy the base, Commander. Kill the enemy! Remember the destiny of House Harkonnen is tied to Arrakis and the Spice Melange. He who controls Arrakis controls the Spice, and he who controls the Spice controls the universe. House Harkonnen MUST control the Spice! The enemy is on the attack!

Evil has a better soundtrack. Step up your game good!

I sincerely hope, that in the Dune recent movie, they would be able to use these epic scores, remaster them, use them in the soundtrack. I bet it will be huge! At least, use it in the trailers. Let's bring this up so that hopefully, with a tiny slither of hope, that the producers / composers can see this.

FOR GUNSENG HARKONNEN! FOR GEIDI PRIME! METAL ON THE MOVE! Devastators are slow and low range? Say that to my Advanced Carryalls. No, seriously. :D

Can’t believe they don’t make more Dune games

Music to paint your 40k and Necromunda miniatures

One of the greatest soundtracks in gaming history......and it had to be the Harkkonens!

o helll yaaaaaiii that so fucking METAAAAALLLL!!!!FUCK YEAHHHHH!!!!

Шикарно!

Thanks a Milion for your support. I think you are absolutly right about this being among the top 3 soundtracks ever. The only other games i can think of that come close to this one is Red Alert 2 and maybe C&C Generals.

Didn't even bother playing with any other house.

I used to play this just for the sound tracks.

Harkonnen and Ordos have some of the best music in game.

I live for pain!

Spot. On. That is all.

Какая классная музыка!

I listen to this while blacksmithing... Goes well with white hot steel.

Wow, and this was composed by the same guy who does relaxation music for Music Choice Soundscapes.

I Want This Song Played at my Funeral

this song and harkonnen force are the best songs in the game :D for house harkonnen!

fantastic game, fanstastic song !

i agree with you,

"For Geidi Prime!"

Readyyy for action!!!!

squad of flamethrower. support by sardaukar... storming fremen camp

I agree.The score for music is 10/10 and there is nothing to discuss here lol. This game has one of the best soundtracks out there. I'd say it's definitely in the top3.

I'm late to the party but this was my late childhood.

I'm talking from personal experience. Personally, whenever I had to defend my base against an onslaught of computer opponents, the Minotaur always dealt huge amounts of monetary damage compared to their original cost. And I almost never lost minotaurs to worms. Maybe I was lucky? I always lost my Devastators within 5 seconds of sending more than two out at a time. I actually tested that theory out a few times, much to the unhappiness of my troops I bet!

For the duke. Click forre the duke

It should be my home country anthem

If I could make a sequel to this game, it would hybridize the David Lynch and Denis Villeneuve aesthetic for the game. I would basically pit Houses Atreides and Harkonnen against each other, with a resurgent House Corrino replacing House Ordos (the explanation being that the Corrinos destroyed the Ordos to get revenge for the Ordos killing Emperor Frederick). The sub factions would be: 1. The Fremen 2. The Ixians 3. The Bene Tlielax 4. The Remnants of House Ordos 5. The Smuggler’s Guild

Lets GO!

Evil incarnate.

E: BfD is legitimately the first(and I guess the only?) C&C/Westwood RTS game that not only featured an entire 2/3 of soundtrack NOT done by Frank Klepacki, but also one of those two soundtracks(Harkonnen one) actually even being kinda superior to Frank's(Atreides one).

sick riff starting @ 4:38

"They're coming with me!"
