DARK SOULS: GAME SOUNDTRACK (DOUBLE LP)

In 2009, Dark Souls was unleashed upon an unsuspecting gaming world and would quickly become one of the most critically acclaimed games in all of gaming history, for both it’s punishingly-challenging gameplay and it’s dark, brooding and often outright terrifying soundtrack by industry legend Motoi Sakuraba. Long sought-after by casual fans and connoisseurs of the genre alike, this masterpiece of modern gaming is finally brought to vinyl for the first time ever by SPACELAB9, in conjunction with Bandai Namco games.

• Album includes the full 23-track score by industry legend Motoi Sakuraba (Tales Of..series, Super Smash Bros., Star Ocean, Golden Sun) plus five bonus tracks from the Artorias of the Abyss DLC pack.
• Deluxe double album package includes a deluxe gatefold jacket featuring key art from the game with spot UV.

Dark Souls is an action role-playing video game developed by FromSoftware and published by Namco Bandai Games for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows. A spiritual successor to FromSoftware’s Demon’s Souls, it is the second installment in the Souls series of games. Dark Souls began development under the working title of Project Dark.

The game was self-published and released in Japan in September 2011, and worldwide by Namco Bandai Games the following month. Dark Souls received critical acclaim upon its release, and is considered to be one of the best video games ever made, with critics praising its combat depth, intricate world design, and deeply rooted lore. The game’s difficulty received mixed reviews with some praising the previously-unprecedented level of challenge while others criticized it for being unnecessarily unforgiving. In April 2013, game developer FromSoftware announced Dark Souls had sold 2.37 million copies. The game spawned two sequels, Dark Souls II and III, released in 2014 and 2016 respectively.
