VARIOUS – Bloodborne Vol. II (OGS) – 2LP – Black Vinyl [APR 3]

2LP – Black Vinyl,Gatefold Sleeve With Gold Foiling, Insert

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of beloved classic Bloodborne, Sony Interactive Entertainment and Laced Records have heeded the Beckoning Bell and joined forces to offer fans the expanded soundtrack for Bloodborne on vinyl.

A companion piece to the original Bloodborne double LP released in 2019, this additional album comprises nine remastered tracks: four from the base soundtrack not previously on vinyl; and five boss cues from The Old Hunters DLC, including Ludwig, The Holy Blade by Nobuyoshi Suzuki and Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower by Yuka Kitamura. The single LP features a gatefold sleeve with gold foiling and 12 insert.

Bloodborne was released in 2015 as a new PlayStation IP from director Hidetaka Miyazaki and From Software, with The Old Hunters DLC dropping later that year. Its taut action gameplay, Gothic horror, and Lovecraftian themes saw Bloodborne become one of the most revered video games of all time.

The Bloodborne soundtrack is a masterclass in choral-orchestral writing and horror textures. Sadness, fury, creeping dread, and faded grandiosity are all conveyed through boss music cues that are all the more impactful given that a significant amount of a players playtime is spent without underscore. Multiple composers from America and Japan collaborated to score the darkest corners of Yharnam and the nightmares beyond, including Ryan Amon, Yuka Kitamura, Tsukasa Saitoh, Nobuyoshi Suzuki, Cris Velasco, and Michael Wandmacher.
