The siege of madrigal (2024)

The Siege of Madrigal (2024) is a cover of the iconic track from Bungie’s Myth: The Fallen Lords RTS from 1997.

The cover was arranged by Owen Spence using a combination of the samples from the original and samples from later Bungie releases. Owen included the string part from the never-released, original in-game version of the piece, which was absent from the soundtrack album and all subsequent releases. Owen also included the extended ending from the Myth II: Soulblighter rendition of the piece, Gate of Storms.

The Siege of Madrigal was also famously used as an easter egg in every Halo game developed by Bungie, and could also very briefly be heard in an update to Destiny before being removed.
