SILENT HILL 2 (Original Soundtrack)

Konami Digital Entertainment and Laced Records delve into the fog to bring the deeply immersive, haunting soundtrack for SILENT HILL 2 (2024) to vinyl.

This 6LP box set presents the complete score, crafted by and carefully sequenced by longtime series composer Akira Yamaoka. Special attention has also been paid to the packaging, which includes thoughts from the composer in a liner notes book.

Yamaoka completely reworked the soundtrack for Bloober Team’s critically lauded remake. Brand new and re-recorded cues for 2024’s SILENT HILL 2 perfectly capture the eerie atmosphere of the titular town, fusing elements of trip-hop and industrial rock with dark ambience and musique concrète. This new soundtrack will feel both familiar and fresh to ardent fans of the beloved survival horror series. 

The score pushes Yamaoka’s inimitable sound design and ethereal arrangements to new heights and charts his evolution as a creator since the original game released in 2001. The music transcends the functional role of video game scores, existing both as an intrinsic, essential part of the atmosphere of SILENT HILL games, and standing alone as an evocative work that journeys through the dark depths of the human psyche.
