The revered video game El Shaddai Ascension of the Metatron is making an enchanting return, this time not just in full HD on Nintendo Switch, but also in a captivating vinyl format. To celebrate this reissue, a special Collector’s Vinyl Edition has been crafted, offering fans and music aficionados alike a chance to immerse themselves in the game’s ethereal soundtrack, encapsulated in a beautifully designed Gatefold 2xLP package.
Developed in collaboration with CRIM and the game’s original creator and designer Sawaki Takeyasu, this Collector’s Edition is a tribute to the unique artistic vision of the game. The soundtrack, orchestrated by Masato Kôda and Kento Hasegawa, features an array of epic orchestral pieces along with sacred and dreamlike melodies that have been highly praised for their quality and distinctive style, resonating well with the game’s profound narrative and visual aesthetic.
The limited edition vinyl not only includes the original soundtracks remastered for vinyl but also comes with marbled discs and a rare shikishi, exclusively autographed by Sawaki Takeyasu himself, making it a coveted piece for collectors. With a tracklist boasting 35 pieces such as the haunting “El Shaddai Theme,” the contemplative “Eternal Heaven and Earth – Enoch’s Theme,” and the dramatic “Flight of Darkness,” the vinyl brings to life the game’s journey through its celestial and tumultuous landscapes.
Produced, published, and distributed by Wayô Records, this vinyl release is a testament to the enduring legacy of El Shaddai Ascension of the Metatron’s artistic and musical achievement. As a limited edition, its availability is capped, ensuring that each piece is a special addition to any collection.
For those eager to own this piece of video game and music history, the Collector’s Vinyl is set for a summer 2024 release and is currently available for pre-order.
