The soundtrack for Metal Gear Solid V’s trailer, available on Amazon at http://www.amazon.de/Nuclear/dp/B00IIIL2UI, includes the track “Nuclear” with poignant lyrics. The words evoke a scene of desolation with lines such as “Standing on the edge of the crater like the prophets once said” and go on to paint a picture of a world where the fire has faded to cold ashes, the war has ended with no more bullets flying, and the whispers on the air recount the stories of lost brothers amid the stark ruin.
A man with a grizzled beard and an intense gaze stares forward. Half of his face is smeared with blood, while his left eye is covered by a black eye patch. He has a rugged and battle-hardened look about him, with a green military harness draped over his shoulder. Behind him, hints of a blue-lit environment suggest a nighttime setting with industrial or military structures in the distance.
