Surely a sound to behold, too
Creating memorabilia for Shadow of the Colossus has to be something of a double-edged sword. On one hand, there’s no shortage of awe-inspiring material to draw from. On the other, Shadow of the Colossus is so revered anything paying tribute needs to be similarly incredible but with its own artistic flair.
Leading up to the release of the Shadow of the Colossus PS4 remake, this double LP vinyl from iam8bit perfectly straddles those two lines. It’s a majestic work of album art (Nimit Malavia is the artist) that captures the mood of the game while still contributing its own stylistic spin. The major sigils emblazoned in the center of each record is a particularly nice touch. And, you know, it’s also the beautiful and moving soundtrack from Kow Otani.
Unfortunately, this vinyl won’t be ready for the remake. It begins shipping sometime in the spring of this year, and sells for $40. If you don’t want to wait that long, there’s a similar already-released Last Guardian collection that’s just as stunning.
