Soldiers armed with automatic weapons and grenades throw down against strange insect-like monsters from outer space. That’s what the title promises, and that’s what the audio delivers. There is enough difference between this track and "Spec Ops Team vs Otherworldly Being" (a.k.a. "Spec Ops Team vs Large Entity") that the two tracks aren't redundant, but they're enough alike that if staging a firefight between soldiers and aliens is rare for you, you could probably get by with just one. The big difference is that this track implies a larger number of smaller enemies, and the other track implies one larger enemy. This track is very good at setting the tone its title suggests, but it presents a dilemma. If you play it loud enough to be "realistic," it may interfere with the gaming conversation at the table. If you play it softly enough to be unobtrusive, it may sound like the fight is far away.

I've purchased many Cthulhu-related ambient tracks in the last weeks, from this and another company. All of them are of great quality and perfect for my games, but I have to say that this one excels above every other track I've listened to. I can't wait to test this one in my ongoing Delta Green campaign, that is coming to a kind of "Season 2 Finale" in which this track will be the perfect "finishing touch".

It would be great if other similar tracks would be developed to cover other combat situations:

-1920s car chase with winged creature -Modern car chase with winged creature -Small arms burst against huge creature -Handguns against huge creature -Etc.

Also, some other Lovecraftian ambience sounds would be welcomed, like:

-Arctic storm with the terrible wailing of Ithaqua -Tunnels with echoes of a Shoggoth's infamous "Tekeli-li"
