Music
The video game music for Gears of War was composed by Kevin Riepl, who has previously worked with Epic Games on soundtracks for Unreal Tournament 2003 and Unreal Championship.
The music for Gears of War 2 and Gears of War 3 was composed by Steve Jablonsky.
Additionally, the Gears of War franchise has inspired music from other artists. American thrash metal band Megadeth recorded a song for the first games release, first as an instrumental then with lyrics. For Gears 3, rapper Ice-T, who was cast as a major character in the game, reunited his metal band Bodycount to record a song centered around the Gears universe.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“His style is eminently colloquial, and no wonder it is strange to meet with in a book. It is not literary or classical; it has not the music of poetry, nor the pomp of philosophy, but the rhythms and cadences of conversation endlessly repeated.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“From where Pan’s cavern is
Intolerable music falls.
Foul goat-head, brutal arm appear,
Belly, shoulder, bum,
Flash fishlike; nymphs and satyrs
Copulate in the foam.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Not to sink under being man and wife,
But get some color and music out of life?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
