OTHERWORLD: A Tribute to Silent Hill

℗ & © «2020 Materia Community / Materia Music Inc.»

Originally released in 1999 for the Sony Playstation, Silent Hill has since become one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time. This is in no small part due to Akira Yamaoka’s music. Moody, unsettling, introspective, beautiful, gritty, and occasionally outright terrifying, Yamaoka’s work has played an essential part in creating this foggy town of monsters, cult rituals, and harrowing psychological drama.

OTHERWORLD features reinterpretations of tracks from the first four Silent Hill games, all arranged and performed by the diverse and phenomenally talented members of Materia Community. We believe we have created an album that reflects the unique voices of each of its artists, embraces Yamaoka's experimental spirit and captures the unmistakable aesthetic of his legendary works.
