Скачать или смотреть Cult of the Lamb Gets a Metal Soundtrack! Trivium, Killswitch Engage, Polyphia & More Unite

What happens when some of the biggest names in metal join forces to reimagine the soundtrack of a dark and quirky indie game? Cult of the Lamb: Hymns of the Unholy is here to answer that question! This video dives into the unique collaboration between iconic metal musicians and the hit video game Cult of the Lamb.

The original Cult of the Lamb game, released in 2022, follows a young lamb saved from sacrifice who must build a cult in honor of their mysterious savior, The One Who Waits. Praised for its innovative design and gameplay, the game quickly gained a cult following (pun intended). Now, some of the best musicians in heavy metal have come together to deliver a special six-track metal soundtrack for this eerie world.

Musicians & Their Discography:

• Howard Jones (Light The Torch, ex-Killswitch Engage): One of the defining voices of modern metalcore, Howard is best known for his work on Killswitch Engage’s classic albums The End of Heartache (2004) and As Daylight Dies (2006). He continues to slay with his current band, Light The Torch.
• Matt Heafy (Trivium): A cornerstone of modern metal, Matt Heafy has delivered unforgettable performances with Trivium on albums like Ascendancy (2005), Shogun (2008), and What the Dead Men Say (2020). Heafy is known not only for his shredding skills but also for his deep connection to video game culture.
• Scott LePage & Clay Gober (Polyphia): Known for their technical prowess, Scott and Clay have been redefining instrumental music with Polyphia through albums like New Levels New Devils (2018) and Remember That You Will Die (2022). Their blend of prog, metal, and hip-hop influences sets them apart.
• Javier Reyes (Animals as Leaders): A titan of progressive metal, Reyes brings his intricate guitar work to this project. With The Joy of Motion (2014) and Parrhesia (2022) under his belt, he is one of the key figures in pushing the boundaries of instrumental metal.
• Josh Baines (Malevolence): Malevolence’s crushing riffs can be heard on albums like Malicious Intent (2022) and Self Supremacy (2017), and Josh Baines brings that same energy to this soundtrack.
• Sean Long (While She Sleeps): Sean Long’s contributions to While She Sleeps have helped shape albums like You Are We (2017) and Sleeps Society (2021), combining melodic elements with metal’s raw power.

Why Metal?
Jay Armstrong, co-founder of Massive Monster, the studio behind Cult of the Lamb, explains how metal music fits perfectly with the game’s satanic and darkly humorous themes. There’s a huge overlap between video game fans and metalheads, and this project showcases the natural bond between these two worlds. As Matt Heafy puts it, “There’s such a natural link between video games, heavy metal, and the game’s themes.”

Don’t miss out! Listen to the first single Cult and get ready for the full EP drop on October 28th. Whether you’re a fan of Cult of the Lamb or a metalhead, this collaboration is bound to become legendary.
