I just backed the "Tomb Raider: The Dark Angel Symphony" project on Kickstarter and you should too! It's a collaboration of long-time fans and Peter Connelly himself, the composer of Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, and Tomb Raider Chronicles. The goal is to produce not one, but two albums of exquisite music from the beloved games. The Dark Angel Symphony, re-recorded and re-arranged masterpieces, and Remastered, classic tracks brought to life yet again!
Head on over and show your support for this fantastic project and let's make it happen!
The Tomb Raider Suite has just over an hour left and we have seen such tremendous support! With a main goal of about $207,000 USD, we are currently sitting at a whopping $247,827 USD! That's almost 120% funded!
We can only assume that the stretch goals of mastering the original synthesizer soundtracks and the documentary are within reach, but we'll just have to wait to hear from Nathan himself. I am so happy for Nathan McCree and all of us Tomb Raider fans can rejoice in cherishing his music all over again in a brand new masterpiece.
The Tomb Raider Suite has successfully met it's goal and keeps on climbing! With 22 hours still remaining and pledges still rolling in, I have faith that we will reach all of the stretch goals as well!
Stretch Goals:
Increase the size of the Choir for the recording at Abbey Road
Increase the size of the Brass Section for the recording at Abbey Road
Increase the size of the Woodwind Section for the recording at Abbey Road
Record and release the synthesizer only version of The Tomb Raider Suite
Remaster and release the original, unchanged game soundtracks for Tomb Raider I, II, and III
Film and release a TV/DVD documentary about the making of The Tomb Raider Suite
I knew we could do it Raiders! I am so excited and cannot wait for all of us to get this iconic piece of Tomb Raider History in our hands!

As many of you know by now, Nathan McCree, the original composer for the first three Tomb Raider games, has announced a Kickstarter campaign that will launch the middle of May for the "Tomb Raider Suite" album. We are all still awaiting the launch of the campaign, but until then, we have a few tid-bits to keep us entertained. The above video is the teaser trailer (if you will) and below is the interview Q&A with Nathan discussing the project.
The project was teased last year as part of the 20 year anniversary of Tomb Raider celebration, and now we have the opportunity to make this project come into full fruition. Nathan has already composed and re-imagined the classic tracks that were brought forth in an exclusive live concert at the Apollo in London, December of last year. When I say re-imagined, I mean a lot of the tracks have been extended and re-worked. Listen to a sample via his SoundCloud HERE. Kickstarter will allow him to record the nostalgic tracks with a full orchestra and choir in the one and only Abbey Road Studios.
There will be so many rewards for us fans to support this project. There will be multiple versions of the album, such as a deluxe version, vinyls, autographed versions, exclusive dinner events with Nathan himself and Meagan Marie and Shelly Blonde (the original voice actress from Tomb Raider), merchandise, and more! I know so many fans hold the classic games so dear to their hearts and this is the way to show it. This will be the first time this music has been released officially and I know that we can make it happen.
There will be so much more as well, with a live world tour, a documentary, and the original soundtracks also being released hopefully sometime next year!
I can't stress enough how we, as true fans, have to support this project. As soon as I have more details I will share them here so you can get in on this amazing Kickstarter campaign.
Here is "In The Blood", an original piece composed by Nathan for the live concert.
