Various metal artists have contributed to a reimagining of River Boy’s soundtrack for the hit indie game “Cult Of The Lamb.” The EP, which is titled “Cult Of The Lamb: Hymns Of The Unholy,” was written, arranged and produced by Sam George (Pick Up Goliath). The effort will receive a digital release on October 28 and it will feature contributions from Howard Jones (Light The Torch, Sion, ex-Killswitch Engage), Matt Heafy (Trivium), Scott LePage (Polyphia), Clay Gober (Polyphia), Javier Reyes (Animals As Leaders), Josh Baines (Malevolence), Sean Long (While She Sleeps), and Mike Malyan (ex-Monuments). Vinyl copies can be pre-ordered HERE and they are expected to ship in March.

Heafy commented:
“Video games have always been an important part of my life, so it’s been amazing to work with the Massive Monster team and turn Cult of the Lamb’s iconic soundtrack into a metal album. There’s such a natural link between video games, heavy metal and the game’s themes that a collaboration like this just makes sense. I hope fans of the game have as much fun listening to this as I did writing and performing my parts, and I hope the metal community and anyone who might not have played Cult of the Lamb before embraces this as a standalone album and checks out the game!”
Massive Monster co-founder Jay Armstrong added:
“We’re huge fans of metal music and know there’s a lot of metalheads in the Cult of the Lamb community too. There’s a natural link between the game’s themes and heavy metal music and, given the recent release of our Unholy Alliance DLC and the Goat character, why not get some G.O.A.T.s from the world of metal to transform River Boy’s iconic melodies into heavy metal slammers? All the artists featured on this release have given 100% commitment to this project, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their support and the backing of their management.”
