What do you get when you mix epic quests with killer music? Find out this week during zOMG!fest, the ultimate summer event for gaming fanatics and music lovers hosted by Gaia Online, the world’s most active online community of more than eight million users.

Starting today, Gaia Online’s free to play MMO, zOMG!, is featuring gaming music composer Jeremy Soule, who has composed tracks for the games *Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic*, *Company of Heroes*, *Guild Wars*, *Elder Scrolls*, and *Neverwinter Nights*. Jeremy is releasing an original game soundtrack on Gaia, as well as allowing Gaia users to have the opportunity to chat with Jeremy, while indulging in the flash-based MMO.

“Gaia’s members have been speculating about zOMG!fest for several weeks now, so we are psyched to engage them in a whole new zOMG! experience,” said Dave Georgeson, senior producer/creative director of zOMG!. “Thanks to Jeremy Soule, zOMG! has an incredibly strong music component, which the users rave about. We are thrilled to be working with a brilliant composer who has an outstanding resume of in-game tracks.” In response to popular demand by Gaians, members can now purchase a soundtrack of the music heard throughout zOMG!. Participants that purchase the soundtrack on directsong.com during zOMG!fest will receive a free pair of virtual earphones for their avatar.
