It is described as a “pure distortion and perversion of Gagaku and a fleet of Japanese instruments to support the darkest and unknowable depths of Hiroki’s journey in .” Gagaku is a type of Japanese classical music. “Echoes of Yomi” is more of an ambient track and is a stark contrast to “Dancing Blades,” a faster track that Emperia Sound and Music uploaded last week.

This is just a preview of the full soundtrack (which is available for pre-save on Apple Music, Spotify, and Deezer right now) that will be in  when it comes out on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on May 5 for $19.99, which was just recently announced alongside a lengthy gameplay trailer.
