The Flame in the Flood Soundtrack Now Available

Composed by Chuck Ragan, who took inspiration from the beautiful wildlife while he was camping and drifting along the water ways, ultimately lending him a hand with a very relevant project he is a part of; The Flame in the Flood. 

I spent quite a lot of time running out to the river, setting up camp to build a fire, write, fish, write more and repeat,” Ragan says of the atypical writing process. “I also wanted to invite and include friends to be a part of it, playing, writing or singing anything they wanted to add. Cory Brannan, Jon Snodgrass, Adam Faucett and of course The Camaraderie are some of the very important collaborations on this recording that made the soundtrack it what it is.

In a musical life that spans close to three decades, Chuck Ragan has consistently worn his heart on his sleeve and carved out a musical niche in the process. From his early days with post-hardcore trailblazers ‘Hot Water Music’, to his solo work and collaborations with artists including Todd Beene (Lucero), Brian Fallon (Gaslight Anthem), and David Hidalgo Jr. (Social Distortion), to name a few, Chuck has built a large and singularly powerful body of work.

The Flame in the Flood is a collection of songs of survival,” Ragan explains.“Written from the perspective of a drifter, nomad and explorer, The Flame in the Flood will take you on a journey down that river in search of a safe haven. I feel so blessed to not only be a part of such a strong and active music community but to be able to share the stage, write with and learn from the people that I work with is such a healthy and revitalizing way to work.

The game is currently available via Steam’s Early Access program, and looks to be an interesting mixture of survival and rogue-like games, similar to Don’t Starve. The soundtrack is now also available on iTunes.
