The soundtrack of Quake II is written by Sonic Mayhem who offer a very different piece compared to Trent Reznor's Quake soundtrack. Whereas Quake's music is ambient and gives an almost pleasant atmosphere full of evil, Quake II is a very heavy metal sound with an emphasis on repetition of phrases. Jer Sypult made four tracks which one made it into the game - "Climb". He released all the tracks in his SoundCloud account.
The disc contains 10 tracks, although CD players see 11 where Track 1 is actually the data track which cannot be played on such devices. The ten tracks listed start at Track 2 through 11.
