We’re excited to announce that Celldweller is recording the official soundtrack for the highly anticipated Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise graphic novel. The Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise Soundtrack will feature an all-new cover of Raziel’s Theme (“Ozar Midrashim”), original tracks, including a new song featuring Matt Heafy of Trivium, new original sound-design tracks with original game voice-over dialogue from the Legacy of Kain franchise, and remastered game scores. The record will be available on vinyl as part of the Kickstarter campaign for Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise, the first official new Soul Reaver story in two decades, since 2003’s Legacy of Kain: Defiance. The prequel graphic novel will provide new insight into the iconic Legacy of Kain lore.
“Respecting a revered franchise like Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver is paramount,” Said Klayton, the co-founder of Bit Bot Media and the musician behind Celldweller. “As we breathe new life into this iconic series, my goal was to ensure that the new music evokes the same mood and atmosphere that fans have cherished, while also offering fresh, innovative elements. It’s a delicate balance of honoring the original and pushing creative boundaries to deliver a Celldweller experience that feels both nostalgic and new.”
Limited collectible vinyl versions including a Celldweller-signed picture disc vinyl with art by Ninja Jo of the Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise Soundtrack will be available as part of the campaign, with the album releasing digitally at a later date.
