iam8bit has announced the release of volume 1 of the soundtrack to the video game “Vampire Survivors” on vinyl. The 2xLP vinyl soundtrack will feature disc 1 of the digital soundtrack and be made available for purchase on iam8bit.com starting March 14, 2024.
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 super trio 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.
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, which perfectly captures the mood of “Vampire Survivors.” The soundtrack will go on sale at 9 AM PDT for $42.99 and ship immediately.
