Laced Records and The Game Kitchen have donned the capirote to bring you the most holy of relics in all Cvstodia: the complete soundtrack for Blasphemous on opulent vinyl.

This special vinyl box set features the full original game soundtrack alongside DLC music for Stir of Dawn and Wounds of Eventide. The Limited Edition 4LP slipcase is adorned with bespoke cover art by Diego Minguez as well as spined, printed inner sleeves with artwork by Jesús Campos "Nerkin".

Blasphemous presents a nightmarish twist on the mystic Catholicism and gothic architecture of The Game Kitchen's hometown of Seville. The revered Metroidvania abounds with twisted religious iconography and esoteric symbolism. Composer Carlos Viola's haunting score is an inseparable part of the game's singular atmosphere, translating themes of suffering, guilt and loneliness into deeply emotive music that pushes from tragedy towards transcendence.

The soundtrack conjures a specific sense of place and time, drawing from Spanish folk guitar traditions, medieval chorales and orchestral ornamentation to create a kind of occult chamber music. Lithe string and soaring vocals crest waves of colossal drone before collapsing back into the morass. Hypnagogic passages pulse with supernatural power, while plaintive, chilling piano works provide moments of solitude amidst the carnage. Viola's rich compositions are bolstered by contributions from instrumentalists Sergio Carmona (Bass) and Manuel Soto "Noly" (Guitar), alongside stirring vocal performances by Nadia Torres and Dolores Berg.

Like the game itself, the music of Blasphemous is unsettling and steeped in suffering, yet strangely beautiful and captivating. Grab your sword and rosary beads before diving in - you'll be needing both.
