Music Weekly: SILENT HILL 3 & 4: THE ROOM and THE MEDIUM Original Soundtracks

This week, we return to SILENT HILL with the next two soundtracks in the series by Akira Yamaoka: SILENT HILL 3 and SILENT HILL 4: THE ROOM.

We are also excited to carry another Akira Yamaoka score (with Arkadiusz Reikowski) for the game THE MEDIUM, from our friends at Black Screen Records.

As always, all new releases go on sale on Wednesdays at Noon CST.

Mondo, in collaboration with Konami, is proud to present the premiere vinyl pressing of the soundtrack to the 2003 horror classic, SILENT HILL 3.

Like Akira Yamaoka's previous two SILENT HILL scores, SILENT HILL 3 is a mix of beautiful and truly terrifying soundscapes, with brilliant, layered guitar driven rock and trip-hop. The dichotomy in tones and genres is part of the charm of this surreal series. This title follows our lead character Heather as she navigates her bloodline, her relationship to the eponymous town, and the monstrous spectres that have begun to bleed into her world ... and her chronic dream-like disappearances into theirs.

Featuring all-new artwork by Ashley Swidowski and Nephelomancer, and liner notes from horror game expert Alexander Aniel, it is pressed on 2x 180 Gram colored vinyl (also available on 2x 180 Gram Black vinyl)

Mondo, in collaboration with Konami, is proud to present the premiere vinyl pressing of the soundtrack to the final game by original series developers, Team Silent ... 2004's SILENT HILL 4: THE ROOM.

THE ROOM is quite different from previous games in the series, both in narrative structure and gameplay, following an all new protagonist who wakes up in a REAR WINDOW meets ROOM 1408 hellscape. How did he get there? Where does that hole in the bathroom lead? What do those mysterious numbers mean? Cults and ghosts, and of course the eponymous town await our hero, but can he survive, and save his neighbor from certain doom?

The inventive subversion of structure is grounded by an incredible and reliably dynamic soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka: anthemic rock songs, trip-hop and ambient droning that bring the world of THE ROOM to life, and ... afterlife.

This release features all-new artwork by Ashley Swidowski and Nephelomancer, and pressed on 2x 180 Gram colored vinyl (also available on 2x 180 Gram Black vinyl).

Black Screen Records and Bloober Team have teamed up to release the soundtrack to their latest third-person psychological horror game THE MEDIUM. It features patented dual-reality gameplay and an original soundtrack, co-composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski and Akira Yamaoka.

The soundtrack will be available on a limited edition retail version on 140 Gram Brown & Oxblood Red vinyl. The vinyl comes in a gatefold sleeve with art by Bloober Team, as well as a Bandcamp Code for the digital soundtrack.

Immerse yourself in the disturbing and oppressive atmosphere of the game, thanks to the original "dual" soundtrack co-created by Akira Yamaoka and Arkadiusz Reikowski. Akira Yamaoka is a legendary Japanese composer, best known for his work on the Silent Hill series. Arkadiusz Reikowski is a Hollywood Music in Media Awards nominee, who worked on such acclaimed horror games as Blair Witch, Layers of Fear, and Observer. Now, they have joined their creative forces for the music and songs of THE MEDIUM.
