Rainbow Six is currently one of the top-selling video games for PSP, X-Box, Game Cube and Playstation 2. Its accompanying soundtrack is just one of few that has been released as a stand-alone compilation. However Herrera, who founded 3Volution, a voice-over, music and sound effects company for the video game industry, says that he sees the �Rainbow Six: Lockdown Soundtrack� as just the beginning of a new trend in entertainment.

�There�s a natural synergy between the gaming world and the music business,� he says. �With all of the advances in technology and the lines quickly being blurred, I believe that relationships like this are going to become the norm and not the exception. I am just excited to be on the ground floor of it all.�

The soundtrack includes some of the bands� biggest hits like Soilwork�s �Stabbing the Drama,� Chimaira�s �Eyes of a Criminal� and Not Forgotten�s �Waiting.� Fear Factory recorded the exclusive track �Lockdown� as well as their version of the Rainbow Six theme just for the album.

Being distributed to all major chains, independents and big-box outlets, the �Rainbow Six: Lockdown Soundtrack� will also include a bonus DVD with four music videos, live interviews with Herrera, a virtual comic, e-coupon and a game trailer as part of the label�s value-added packaging plan.

�We wanted to give consumers something that was truly unique,� said Mike Catain, president of Calvin Records. �I believe that this is an important project for both the video game and music communities.�

While this release is Calvin Records� first within the video game industry, Catain says that it certainly isn�t its last. "This release emphasizes Calvin's Video Game Soundtrack initiative. We are actively pursuing companies and bands that can bring us into this world,� he said.
