Calling all cultists and headbangers! The award-winning soundtrack of the hit indie game <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/cult-of-the-lamb/">Cult of the Lamb</a> is getting a... metal version.

Massive Monster, Devolver Digital, and Laced Records have teamed up to release the metal reimagining. The album, called the Hymns of the Unholy, will drop on October 28.

“We’re huge metal fans, and Cult of the Lamb naturally lends itself to the heavy metal genre,” said Jay Armstrong, co-founder of Massive Monster.
Trivium’s Matthew Kiichi Heafy also shared Armstrong’s excitement.

“Collaborating with Massive Monster to turn Cult of the Lamb’s soundtrack into a metal album was incredible. The game's themes align so well with heavy metal that this partnership felt inevitable," said Heafy.

He hoped both fans of the game and the metal genre would love Hymns of the Unholy.

Hymns of the Unholy will be a six-track album that promises a fusion of the game’s dark themes with head-banging metal.

Written, arranged, and produced by Sam George of Pick Up Goliath, it will feature some of metal’s most renowned names. These included vocalists Howard Jones (Light the Torch, Sion, ex-Killswitch Engage) and Matthew K. Heafy (Trivium).

Hymns of the Unholy also features guitarists Scott LePage (Polyphia), Javier Reyes (Animals as Leaders), Josh Baines (Malevolence), Clay Gober (Polyphia), and Sean Long (While She Sleeps) and drummer Mike Malyan (ex-Monuments).

In addition, the lead single, “CULT,” already has an accompanying music video produced by Half Giant animation studio.

Its original soundtrack, composed by River Boy, won at the World Soundtrack Awards. The game recently rolled out its Unholy Alliance free DLC and Pilgrim expansion pack.
