The clans of Activision, FromSoftware, and Laced Records have come together to release the majestic music of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice on deluxe quadruple vinyl.

Set in a fictionalised 16th Century Japan, players take on the role of the shinobi Wolf in trying to protect the young Divine Heir Kuro from the remnants of the Ashina clan. Progression requires a mastery of stealth combat and extreme precision while battling some of From’s most iconic boss encounters to date. No one forgets the first time they bested Genichiro atop Ashina Castle...

The vinyl set features 50 tracks by lead composer Yuka Kitamura (Elden Ring, Bloodborne, Dark Souls III) and co-composer Noriyuki "α" Asakura (Tenchu series.) The dramatic score features traditional Japanese instruments, orchestral and choral elements, and outlandish, mysterious sounds that transport listeners to a war-ravaged Japan during an alternative history Sengoku period.

All music has been specially mastered for vinyl and will be pressed onto black heavyweight discs. These will be housed in spined inners sleeves that slip into a deluxe Wibalin wrapped case.

Original sleeve artwork was created by illustrator and concept-artist Anato Finnstark (DeviantArt profile.)

From the Laced Records team:

Wolf returns to wax, and in more spectacular fashion than we intended!

We strive to make our Limited Edition disc variants special. And, in normal circumstances, ‘limited’ means that variant won’t be repressed.

However, due to an error made beyond Laced’s control, the discs for this 2024 Sekiro Special Edition repress were made to the same specification as the 2020 Limited Edition (cream and black ‘A side / B side’ effect) — instead of an intended solid cream variant.

To avoid excess waste by throwing away discs, we’ve chosen to put this pressing on sale rather than have it destroyed.

We’re very sorry to our first pressing customers and recognise that this reduces the distinctiveness of your copies. It also undermines our messaging around limited editions.
