Atomic Heart

"Atomic Heart" isn't actually a band or a traditional artist. It's the name of a video game, and the music listed is from its soundtrack. The soundtracks are composed by Mick Gordon, known for his intense and industrial sound in games like Doom and Wolfenstein. While the "Atomic Heart" soundtrack features some licensed Russian music, much of it is original work by Gordon, capturing the game's unsettling alternate-history Soviet setting.

The multiple volumes of the soundtrack offer a deep dive into the game's soundscape, from driving combat themes to more atmospheric and unsettling pieces. The inclusion of tracks like "Морская Болезнь (Atomic Heart Version)" (Seasickness) highlights the game's blend of original compositions and reimagined Russian classics. So, while you won't find "Atomic Heart" touring or releasing albums outside of the game's context, the music itself is a key part of the experience and worth checking out for fans of Mick Gordon's signature style.
