"Released in 2015 as a new PlayStation IP from director Hidetaka Miyazaki and FromSoftware, it's taut action gameplay, Gothic horror, and Lovecraftian themes saw Bloodborne become one of the most revered video games of all time. The soundtrack is a masterclass in choral-orchestral writing and horror textures. Sadness, fury, creeping dread, and faded grandiosity are all conveyed through boss music cues that are all the more impactful given that a significant amount of a player's playtime is spent without underscore. Multiple composers from America and Japan collaborated to score the darkest corners of Yharnam and the nightmares beyond, including Ryan Amon, Yuka Kitamura, Tsukasa Saitoh, Nobuyoshi Suzuki and Michael Wandmacher." - Laced Records
