Team Sonic Racing's "Frozen Junkyard" song and track are cooler than cool.

Team Sonic Racing is zooming to a system near you soon enough, but right now it's time for another race track and song reveal from Sega.

The latest map and music track coming to Team Sonic Racing is the Frozen Junkyard map, accompanied by the rock-tastic theme of the same name. The icy stage finds Sonic and friends racing through a dangerous frosty junkyard with plenty of obstacles to avoid. There's also a pesky Death Egg Robot with lasers shooting out of it that you should probably stay out of the way from, unless you want to be burnt to a crisp. That's "no good," as Sonic would say.

The map may be cool, but these riffs are too hot to handle. Written by Sonic series composer Jun Senoue and tyler Smyth of Danger Kids, this is one of the more anthemic tunes of the new tracks so far.

To get a feel for how the new map is going to sound, take a listen to the preview track above and see how it vibes with you. 

Team Sonic Racing is the latest addition to the long-running Sonic series, featuring fast-paced arcade-style racing with your favorite characters and environments taken directly from the Sonic universe. You can join your friends and race together against the AI or take the show on the road with online multiplayer as well. Local co-op play lets you change out dynamic team mechanics and use vehicle customization features to make your mark and skid across the finish line.

If you enjoy arcade racing and have been burning up the tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, this Sonic racer should be something of a good palate cleanser, at the very least. Right now, Team Sonic Racing is set to debut with a physical and digital release on May 21, 2019 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Swich. It's releasing as a digital-only option on PC. You can pre-order now to get ready for the race – that is, if all this cool music that's been shared over the past few months hasn't been too much for you. Thank Sega for all the cool drops!
