The Halo 3 Soundtrack was officially announced yesterday (although we knew about it last week) and most exciting of all is that Microsoft is calling on all musically talented Halo fanboys to submit music for inclusion on the soundtrack. That's right, Microsoft and team Bungie are on a national search for music talent to include on the soundtrack with music submissions being reviewed by the noble Nile Rodgers, Michael Ostin and Bungie music man Marty O'Donnell. The top three selected entries will win a Halo 3 prize package that includes a Halo 3 Xbox 360, a Halo 3 Zune, a Halo 3 Ibanez Xiphos electric guitar and other random Halo 3 goodies. If you think you are talented enough and think you have a shot, head over to the the Halo 3 MySpace page for complete details and submit your music. Oh, and remember ... you rock![Via Xbox.com]

Hopefully it's not more Breaking Benjamin style bullshit.

I'm kind of confused to why they're creating the halo 3 soundtrack AFTER the game has been released... shouldn't the soundtrack be a part of the game? because, you know, thats kind of what soundtracks are...

I was going to submit a song from my band but there is a no longer than 3 minute rule. That pretty much defeats any contention of the progressive metal bands. 1 - 3 minutes :(
We even had a song about war too called Through Crimson Shores but its over 7 minutes long.

One thing I can't figure out is if it is allowed to use covers. As in my band made a cover of an old War War 1 song about a Sergeant Major and made it about the Sgt. Major in Halo. My guess is probably not, but I can't find any contact info to ask them.

We were greatly saddened when we learned that the contest to have our music put on a game and to be heard by you, the judge… was closed just after we learned that it existed. If there is anyway possible for you to hear our song called “The Scar” which you can listen to at www.myspace.com/brokeniris it would be a miracle… We have respected and loved Halo since it started and would love nothing more then for at least one of you to hear the song the was inspired by halo that we have written and put on our album. If there is any way for this to happen please contact me. Guitartony2003@yahoo.com or www.myspace.com/brokeniris or
