THE DAWNING CAROLS
The Dawning Carols is a collaborative, multi-genre cover album of music from the video game Destiny 2, developed by Bungie.
The collection includes styles such as orchestral, metal, electronic, lo-fi, and more. Released in 2020, it features the talents of eight musicians from the Destiny community.
The project is centered around Destiny 2’s end-of-year holiday event, The Dawning. Every year, Bungie’s composers create a short Christmas-themed piece of Destiny music for the event. The Dawning Carols includes remixes of all of these themes from 2020 and prior.
In addition, The Dawning Carols is free to use for the content creation community and may be included in your streams or videos.
