Frank Klepacki seems to have the ear of the video game player. Ever since he composed/performed the main theme for Red Alert, millions of RA fans live by his music. Called Hell March, the theme builds up slow with the jackboot of Russian soldiers, then explodes with a guitar riff that will blow your socks off.
In Red Alert 2 he re-did his main theme and came up with Hell March 2, which was even better than its predecessor. It was slightly slower in BPM, but this time builds up a story. You can actually close your eyes and feel the Soviet army descend upon your home. Once the theme hits the full bass, goose bumps will roll over your body, and your arms start pumping the air.
Klepacki came back to reprise his role as composer of Hell March in Red Alert 3, and he made it just as good as the first and second one. Again the shivers come down your spine, as you can see the Imperial Armada hit landfall. It has greatly slowed down, but definitely has its own character, while simultaneously having an instant recognizability. Just too bad they had to do this strange remix in the run-up to the game's release, which almost killed it for me. But for the third straight time Klepacki has been able to make an incredible themesong, which captured the minds of RTS players around the world.
Klepacki is God.
