Civilization-leveling nuclear disasters and thundering, ominous music go hand in hand irrespective of the medium in which they are presented. Today, Bethesda Softworks announced that prolific composer Inon Zur will be delivering those tunes for its postapocalyptic role-playing game Fallout 3.

　　Zur has won a bevy of awards scoring games, film, and TV in recent years, including the Game Audio Network Guild Award for Best Original Instrumental at the Game Developers Conference in 2004. Most recently, his work can be heard in Crytek's acclaimed first-person shooter Crysis, and Zur has also contributed to a number of other projects, including Relic's Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War and Company of Heroes franchises, Ubisoft's Prince of Persia Rival Swords, and Sony's Twisted Metal: Head On.

　　"We've wanted to work with Inon for a long time," commented Fallout 3 executive producer Todd Howard of Zur's work for the game. "He brings so much to the table, in terms of his talent, background, and the music that's influenced him. He's created a score that has epic sweep; from the lonely ambience of the wasteland to dramatic fights for survival."

　　Fallout 3 is expected to arrive on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC this fall. For more on the game, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.
