Fragments of the Machine - Data Archive Volumes published by Sonic Mayhem
Sascha Dikiciyan aka Sonic Mayhem has published two volumes of music composed in 2015 and 2016 for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Eidos-Montréal's sequel to Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

The assortment of cues for cinematics and trailers for Mankind Divided and downloadable contents is hosted on the composer's Bandcamp page. Vol. 2 uncovers further unused cues, cinematic sketches, trailer variations, and early drafts.

"The only thing I’ll ask in return," the composer writes in the liner notes, "give Metal Eden (another cyberpunk title, coming Sept 2nd) a chance — and maybe pick up its soundtrack when it’s released, here via Bandcamp." Metal Eden — Corrupted Memory Edition is scheduled for release on November 8th, via Bandcamp.

Trailer music is by Sascha Dikiciyan and Boris Salchow, featuring vocals by Malukah. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is available for PS4 and Xbox One consoles, along with Windows, Mac and Linux through Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. The digital soundtrack and Extended Edition compilation are published through Skill Tree Records.


From the Bandcamp product page:
Between 2015–2016, I composed a large body of music for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and its DLCs. The official soundtrack featured a curated selection, but much of what I wrote for the game — including cues for cinematics, trailers, in-game clubs, as well as drafts, ideas, and even demos — never made it beyond the official release. Until now.
