Valkov, Atanas
Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodhunt O.s.t. (2lp)
'Bloodhunt' boasts a sonically rich score sired by acclaimed Polish-Bulgarian composer Atanas Valkov, and featuring the Sofia Session Orchestra & Choir. The city of Prague provided much of the aesthetic inspiration for Bloodhunt's soundscape: classical and romantic, yet with many a shadowy corner in which a vampire might secrete themselves. Valkov created contrast between modern electronic musical elements and old world ones, as well as layering guitars and using irregular rhythmic structures. The overall soundtrack is both cinematic and brutal. The deluxe double LP set features a deluxe gatefold sleeve and comes on 180 gram red and transparent vinyl with a cloudy effect. Includes liner notes by the composer.
