Various Artists - Borderlands 4 (Original Soundtrack) Various Artists

Gearbox Entertainment and Laced Records continue their co-op run with the energetic soundtrack for Borderlands 4 on black heavyweight vinyl.

The OST has been specially mastered for vinyl and will be housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve adorned with eye-popping artwork featuring the Vault Hunters and some of the beasts and bad guys they face across Kairos.

Borderlands 4 features the most ambitious soundtrack in the series so far, crafted by a murderers’ row of composers including series returnees Finishing Move Inc., Cris Velasco, Joshua Carro, and Christian Pacaud. Glitchy drum beats and upbeat club music keep players and listeners tuned into the irreverently dangerous world of Borderlands. Occasionally, a moment of anxious calm breaks out with one of the ambient soundscapes; before bedlam is restored with a barrage of synth sounds.

The album's lead track, “This Land”, was composed by New York rock legend, Des Rocs, encapsulating all of the high-octane energy and attitude that fans associate with the franchise's music. Meanwhile in the Carcadia Burn wasteland, Casey Di Iorio created the diegetic grunge opus “Thrum Dumpster”, featuring the vocals of Bowling For Soup’s Jared Reddick and ex-Pantera vocalist Terry Glaze.

The official soundtrack album is sequenced in order to highlight the distinct personalities of each major biome of the planet Kairos: the Fadefields, the Terminus Range, Carcadia Burn, and the hostile Dominion City.

All music has been specially mastered for vinyl by Joe Caithness.
