Jim Guthrie’s HELIX – Descent N Ascent is the original soundtrack for Badass Mongoose’s game of the same name, released on Steam in February 2026. Guthrie has been active since 1995, and here he handles the music, recording and mixing himself. The supplied tags place it across pop, electronic and rock, with the game context giving the release a clear purpose rather than presenting it as a conventional solo album.
The tracklist has a neat arc, opening with “Theme”, moving through “Dead Summer”, “Silent Walls”, “A Leak” and “Battle Wound”, then turning toward “Arcade Boss Fight” and “Arcade” before returning to “Theme (Reprise)”. That sequence should appeal to people who like game music with a sense of structure, as well as Guthrie followers curious about his work in a score setting. The release is available at name your price, so it’s an easy pick for Steam players, soundtrack collectors and anyone keen to hear how his pop, electronic and rock instincts fit around a game.
