What is the name of the Mortal Kombat theme song released by The Immortals?

The story behind the answer

“Techno Syndrome” is the Mortal Kombat theme song released by The Immortals.

The track is an electronic dance composition by Belgian musician Olivier Adams and American musician Maurice Engelen, who performed as The Immortals. Its best-known version incorporates sampled game-style vocal calls, including “Mortal Kombat!” and “Finish him!” Those samples helped connect the recording immediately with the video-game series.

The song originated in the early 1990s, during the period when Mortal Kombat was becoming a major arcade and home-console franchise. It became especially associated with the 1995 Mortal Kombat film and its soundtrack, although the track itself predates that movie’s release.

The title is sometimes incorrectly shortened to “Mortal Kombat theme” or confused with music written specifically for an individual game. “Techno Syndrome” is the formal title of the recording, while The Immortals is the performing name credited to its creators.
