Hear the call of the ancestors – multimillion follower YouTube star Miracle Of Sound releases first-ever physical album.
With over a billion organic cross-platform streams and the viral hit “Valhalla Calling”, beyond others, Miracle Of Sound is releasing his first-ever physical release and Napalm Records debut, Materia (Best Of 2011 – 2024) on November 8, 2024. This best-of release showcases the immense talent of musician and producer Gavin Dunne, sending the listener through a mystical world of Vikings, pirates, sea shanties, Celtic history, modern fantasy and more. As a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and singer, Gavin’s solo project, Miracle Of Sound, has achieved multiple #1 chart appearances all over Europe and produced viral hits. His music celebrates great stories inspired by characters and tales from TV, video games, books, and movies, with collaborations with industry giants like Ubisoft, Bioware, Owlcat/Games Workshop, EA and Bethesda for titles such as Mass Effect, Assassin’s Creed, Warhammer 40k, Wasteland 2 and Watch Dogs. Materia promises to be a journey through the best of Miracle Of Sound‘s diverse offerings.
Materia (Best Of 2011 – 2024) begins with his biggest hit to date, “Valhalla Calling”, which has been streamed millions of times and covered by numerous renowned artists worldwide. Inspired by the Assassin’s Creed video game series, the maritime track “Beneath The Black Flag” sets sail and invites you to sing along, as does the lively sailor’s anthem “Onwards We Row”. The song “Skal”, which has reached 40 million streams via YouTube and Spotify combined, catapults you back to the time of the Vikings, while the moving Celtic metal anthem song “Sirona” immerses you in an atmospheric, melancholy wall of sound. In contrast, the energetic track “Road Rage” steps on the gas pedal and blasts you into the fast-paced world of Mad Max: Fury Road, while the powerful and emotional “Ode To Fury” reflects the mythological battles of the video game God of War. Other video game inspired tracks are the Diablo IV power/symphonic metal track “Between Heaven And Hell”, “Wake The White Wolf” from The Witcher 3, and “Take It Back”, which was also a collaboration with Bioware for the game Mass Effect 3. Finally, this collection also features the rousing remix “Valhalla Calling War Chant Version”, which closes the album.
Materia (Best Of 2011 – 2024) marks a milestone in Miracle Of Sound‘s career, showing Gavin Dunne’s ability to weave tales of adventure and emotion through the universal language of music.
