Castlevania music is awesome. There’s no denying that. What’s not so awesome is missing out on previous editions. Luckily, Materia Music is here to remedy that with a massive 46-LP vinyl set, which is up for pre-order now.
Music from Castlevania – Black & Red is described as the “definitive release” of music from the beloved Konami series, with soundtracks spanning from 1986 to 2010. Priced at $777USD and set to ship Q1 2025, the set includes 46 LPs (that’s 974 tracks and over 30 hours of music) housed in two beautifully-designed outer boxes – Black & Red – with each box contains 23 LPs and showcases new original artwork by Johnny Dombrowski across all 46 jackets.
The collection boasts newly remastered recordings, many of which are exclusive to this box set. Liner notes by Castlevania expert Jeremy Parish accompany each game, adding depth and context to the music’s evolution throughout the series.
