EA and Visceral has announced that BioShock composer Garry Schyman has been hired to compose the score for Dante’s Inferno.

“Scoring Dante’s Inferno was one of the most interesting and challenging projects I have ever tackled,” said Schyman. “Literally being asked to score hell was fantastic especially once I saw the surrealistically frightening world that Visceral Games had developed. I thought long and hard about every piece of music I wrote to create something new, surprising and fitting.

“It has turned out to be one of the most creative experiences in my career.”

The orchestral score and chorus were recorded at Abbey Road Studios with the Philharmonia Orchestra and the Metro Voices Singers. The score soundtrack is planned for release in early 2010.

Game’s out for PSP, PS3 and Xbox 360 February 9 and 12 in the US and UK respectively.

Press release is below.
