You Don't Have To Hide

SPACELAB9 has been one of the main forerunners in the video game vinyl industry for a while now. From hit titles like The Witcher 3 to Bethesda's Fallout and The Elder Scrolls franchises, one thing has remained true, their commitment to pressing the industry's best soundtracks to vinyl. This release is no exception to that fact and is one that took me by surprise when it was announced. As one of the best horror soundtracks in the modern age of games, this album is a must-own for any fan of the genre! Beyond all of that, this record sounds amazing and that’s what’s important. There's always some trepidation when it comes to glow-in-the-dark releases, and their volatility has been widely documented for a while now. However, recently glow-in-the-dark pressings have never sounded better and Outlast stands among the greats like Rain World this year. This album is just crystal clear!

God Don't Hear Dead Men

The design for this release is incredible. With a die-cut, “peephole” jacket featuring interchangeable artwork, to lovely lore filled spot embossing on each side, I couldn't get over all the details! With a glow-in-the-dark finish on the cover to top it off, this makes for the most unique release ever from SPACELAB9. As one of SPACELAB9'S most ambitiously designed releases to date, I can't help but be hung up on one major flaw with the presentation of this album… the spine. Forever emblazoned on the spine of this release is the title of the album featuring a hilariously glaring typo, "Trilogoy" instead of Trilogy this just completely baffles me. How does something like this happen? Either way for bad or worse, this definitely makes it one of the weirdest mistakes I have ever seen on a video game vinyl release. This doesn't really take away from the overall package, but it's worth mentioning so something like this hopefully doesn't happen again in the future.
