Mischievous Merryment

Mercenary Day is presumably the Borderlands-equivalent of Christmas. Consequently, How Marcus Saved Mercenary Day probably revolves around the most wonderful time of the year, even if this is not really picked up on in the accompanying score. Anyone expecting bells, strings or choirs will be disappointed. Instead, it's back to Overlord brute beats, whereby I particularly like The Abominable Mr. Tinder (as I am also called on social dating platforms) with its marching band-like style and synth swing. It's something different and catchy. The score is therefore not for holiday fanatics in search of relaxation, but rather for fans of the main score who fancy a bit of variety.
