Call Of Duty: Black Ops Soundtrack

Call of Duty: Black Ops accompanies the 2010 first-person shooter developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. The original campaign score was composed by Sean Murray, known for his work on God of War (portable titles) and True Crime: Streets of LA. The music combines orchestral arrangements with electronic textures and military percussion, reinforcing the Cold War setting and psychological tension of the narrative.

The official campaign album, Call of Duty: Black Ops (Original Game Soundtrack), was released in 2010 via Activision Publishing. It features selections from the original score written for the single-player campaign and is available on major digital platforms.

Separate from the orchestral campaign material, the game’s Zombies mode introduced a heavier, industrial-driven musical direction. These tracks were composed by Kevin Sherwood and written specifically for the Zombies maps as unlockable in-game Easter eggs. They were not licensed songs, but original material created for the franchise.

Summary Overview

Elena Siegman and Her Contribution to the Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies Soundtrack

Vocalist Elena Siegman collaborated with Kevin Sherwood on several Zombies tracks. Her performances were recorded specifically for the game, contributing to the darker and more aggressive tone of the mode. Over time, these songs became strongly associated with the Zombies experience and were later included in official Zombies soundtrack releases.

Tracks featuring Elena Siegman:

“115”
“Beauty of Annihilation”
“The One”

While the campaign score emphasizes cinematic tension and orchestral momentum, the Zombies music leans into industrial metal, distorted guitars, and intense vocals, forming a distinct parallel identity within the same title.
