The 25th anniversary of the original Resident Evil game has come and gone, but the festivities are far from over. Between a new film adaptation coming this fall, the eighth installment in the core game franchise, and an anime series coming to Netflix, the stories of the mysterious T-virus are going to be all over this year (and possibly then some).
As the seminal survival horror game, one thing that the original game not only did well, but set a standard for in gaming, was its ominous soundtrack. The Capcom Sound Team of Makoto Tomozawa, Akira Kaida, and Masami Ueda composed the score for the 1996 original, top to bottom. For the second game in 1998, Ueda was joined by Shusaku Uchiyama and Shun Nishigaki, this time employing a more ambient, industrial score. While these soundtracks have been released on vinyl before, Laced Records have released a new limited edition colored vinyl in celebration of the silver anniversary of this gold standard of horror.
Laced Records is releasing these sets in celebration of their fifth birthday. These new versions are colored blue for Resident Evil and red for Resident Evil 2. Each set is a 2LP 180g vinyl, packaged in a double gatefold sleeve. They are currently retailing for $35 USD apiece.
