NHL 13 soundtrack revealed, looks to create authentic hockey experience

EA has announced the official NHL 13 soundtrack, which they hope will help create an "authentic in-arena hockey experience". The soundtrack features 16 licensed tracks by established and upcoming artists from around the world including Anti-Flag and Foxy Shazam.

Couple with the extensive presentation overhaul in NHL 13, the music will ensure the game sounds like an authentic NHL hockey experience.

“The true NHL hockey experience is about speed, power and creativity,” said EA's Worldwide Executive of Music and Marketing, Steve Schnur. “To create its sonic counterpart, our soundtrack features a mix of well-known bands like Gaslight Anthem, Anti-Flag and The Offspring, up-and-comers that include Battleme and Canada’s Classified and Monster Truck, and arena favorites like Zombie Nation’s ‘Kernkraft 400’ and Bassnectar’s ‘Pennywise Tribute’. We think fans will agree that this is the new sound of NHL hockey.”

Below is the complete NHL 13 soundtrack:

In addition to the soundtrack, NHL 13's gameplay will help create an authentic experience led by the all-new True Performance Skating, and supported by an innovative new AI system dubbed "EA Sports Hockey I.Q."

NHL 13 will be available on September 11, 2012 in North America and September 14, 2012 in Europe.
