61 TRACKS FROM HITMAN WORLD OF ASSASSINATION TRILOGY NOW AVAILABLE TO STREAM AND DOWNLOAD ON MUSIC SERVICES
As Agent 47 makes his way across the globe from Paris to the Carpathian Mountains, so does Nielsen’s music, spanning everything from Argentinian tango and German techno to solo piano sonatas and fingerpicked guitar melodies.
