iam8bit's Vampire Survivors Vinyl Soundtrack Vol. 1 Delivers Heavenly Hits From Bullet Hell

iam8bit :

LOS ANGELES – March 12, 2024 – iam8bit is thrilled to announce the Vampire Survivors Vol.1 2xLP vinyl soundtrack, which comprises disc 1 of the digital soundtrack. Created in our first collaboration with indie developer poncle, the album will be available for purchase on iam8bit.com starting March 14, shipping immediately.

Vampire Survivors captured the thumping hearts of an entire industry when it launched in 2022. Its irresistible blend of bullet-hell shooters and roguelite staked out 2023 BAFTA Awards for Best Game and Game Design while inspiring the thriving "Survivors-like" action subgenre. Not bad for a game that started life as a one-person project. 

The vinyl soundtrack, which offers every track from disc 1 of the original digital soundtrack, is part-sendup, part-tribute, but still wholly original. Survivor’s synthy soundtrack, crafted by the supertrio of Daniele Zandara, Filippo Vicarelli, and Will Davies, harkens back to vampire-slaying franchises of yore. But it does so in a decidedly modern soundscape, exploring things that were impossible on old sound chips. The resulting music is epic, nostalgic, and unexpected, packed with rad riffs and high-impact drum fills alike. 

The Vampire Survivors Vol.1 2xLP soundtrack features 22 songs across four sides pulled from Disc 1 of the digital soundtrack, pressed on blood-splatter colored red wax. The discs slide into a spooky slipcase that features original cover art from illustrator Nimit Malavia. It perfectly captures the mood of Vampire Survivors with a piece so bodacious and badass, your middle school doodles could only dream of being as cool. The $42.99 soundtrack will be available for purchase on iam8bit.com starting March 14 at 9 a.m. PDT, shipping immediately.
