Low Roar Band-Death Stranding Soundtrack

After the band gained popularity, fans started to love Low Roar’s music because they mostly featured the soundtrack of Death Stranding. In 2011, the band released its first-ever album, and the band released about five total albums till 2022. 

When Death Stranding was introduced to the band, they didn’t know how to execute it, but they had agreed to work on it. The Low Roar said that Sony company had contacted their band by emailing them.

VG247 said that in the email, Sony wrote that they would pay a significant amount to let them use the song “I’ll Keep Coming.” 

However, they didn’t disclose the reason or where they would use the song. They added that they were not in a position to say no as they were at a stage of the gutter and they required money. 

So, they accepted the offer and let Sony use the song. Later, Sony used the song, which eventually turned out to be Death Stranding.
