Apocalyptica Shares Control: Resonant Song

Apocalyptica has shared Upperhand, a cinematic metal anthem written for Control: Resonant. The song was composed by Apocalyptica and features Kalandra. Upperhand is an expanded version of the instrumental main theme Apocalyptica wrote for Control: Resonant.

Eicca Toppinen said the first version of Upperhand was written as entrance music for the game’s opening sequence. He said he wanted to expand the piece into a full song with lyrics and was pleased that Katrine from Kalandra joined the project with vocals. Toppinen also said the song was intended to bring Apocalyptica’s characteristics into the Control world.

Control: Resonant was released on September 25 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC. The game takes place seven years after the events of the 2019 Control. Remedy Entertainment shared six different tracks from Control: Resonant on September 24, while news about the release of the full soundtrack is expected to be shared soon.
