Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (Original Score)

Ubisoft and Laced Records have crewed up to bring the swashbuckling music of Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag to vinyl.

Edward Kenway’s adventures during the Golden Age of Piracy are splashed across the sleeve, with brand new cover artwork by illustrator and artist Jeff Langevin (jefflangevin.com) and ravishing environment pieces selected from Ubisoft’s archives. 

Composer Brian Tyler is renowned for his blockbuster work across film and video games. Gigues, rough strings, Hollywood percussion, and subtle electronic touches abound throughout the Black Flag score, with Tyler variously pirouetting and strutting through dramatic and action-packed cues — while avoiding piratical clichés.

Perhaps the most indelible musical experience of Black Flag is the inclusion of sea shanties that geed-up players and their crews as they traversed the Caribbean Sea — especially fan-favourite “Leave Her Johnny” and “Randy Dandy Oh”. A huge array of performers leant their vocal talents to the cause, including Sean Dagher, Nils Brown, Michiel Schrey, and many more.
