Laced Records has announced two vinyl records in production for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II and the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine soundtracks following their collaboration with Games Workshop. Laced Records, no strangers to video game soundtracks already having worked on bringing the soundtracks of games such as Runescape and Doom to vinyl, will be creating a double deluxe vinyl for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and a deluxe triple vinyl for Dawn of War II.
For Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, renowned composer duo Cris Velasco and Sascha Dikiciyan have crafted an expansive impassioned score inspired by Space Marine’s stunning cinematic visuals and intuitive gameplay. Channeling the epic scale of this scifi fantasy, the score features orchestral compositions and modern filmic music production. Included are 19 tracks from the original game and four bonus tracks (listed below) across two blue and white vinyl in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.
The Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine vinyl will ship in March 2019 and will cost € 33 | $ 35.
Virtual orchestra maestro Doyle W. Donehoo composed the original score for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, the sci-fi fantasy strategy game set in the bleak, sombre distant future of the year 40,000 with the galaxy torn under endless war. Donehoo explains, “Unlike other music genres, music for video games, TV and movies enjoy an entertaining symbiosis with visuals, dialogue and sound effects. They all work together to produce something greater than the sum of their parts. It is a privilege to score for the vast Warhammer 40,000 universe with its broad strokes of emotions and endless warfare. It begs for huge themes and high drama, and that is what I strove to deliver for Warhammer 40,000; Dawn of War II”
Included are 31 tracks curated by the composer and the Games Workshop team (listed below) across three mint vinyl in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.
The Dawn of War II vinyl will ship in March 2019 and will cost € 45 | $ 50.
