Scarlet Moon Releases Shadows Of Hyrule

, , , , , , , 4

Scarlet Moon, the music company that specializes in rearranged albums of familiar video game tunes, has a new one out timed for Halloween. Shadows of Hyrule is a celebration of the spookier side of the Legend of Zelda series. Shadows of Hyrule is the latest from ROZEN, who’s composed several album covers of video game tracks as well as some actual video game music (you can hear his own work in Kena: Bridge of Spirits). He’s covered Zelda three times already in the albums Sins of Hyrule, Ballads of Hyrule, and Children of Termina. But this time, he wanted to go a little darker, and used a similar open-world adventure game as inspiration. “Heavily inspired by the dark fantasy genre, I wanted to create a concept album featuring The Legend of Zelda in the style of the intense and brooding music From Software’s games like Elden Ring are known for,” reflects ROZEN. “This new entry in my ‘of Hyrule’ series is reminiscent of the same dark tone from Sins of

One of the weirder projects we’ve run across is a tribute to Attack On Titan from the Prescription For Sleep series. This series, created by music producers Scarlet Moon, has eleven installments so far, each one reinterpreting the soundtrack of a popular video game as smooth jazzy music to fall asleep to. The next album in the series, announced last month, pivoted to anime and picked a subject about as far from relaxing as you can get. Attack On Titan is about a massive, bloody war between the survivors of humanity and the widely grinning naked giants that like to trample and eat them (the situation eventually changes somewhat, but that’s a spoiler). Scarlet Moon producer Jayson Napolitano admits even without the startling elements, this is an unorthodox swerve for the series. “I came to enjoy Attack on Titan pretty late, right before season 2, so I haven’t been waiting nearly as long as most fans out there,” “This is the first time we’ve produced an album in the series

Scarlet Moon Releases Dale North’s Marble Knights Soundtrack

We’ve spotlighted the work of video game music artist Dale North here before. His latest work is the soundtrack for Marble Knights, a competitive brawler where all the fighters have giant round marbles for lower bodies and victory involves mastery of rolling physics and ricocheting off each other in just the right way. Marble Knights was developed by Wayforward, who always does good work, but unfortunately the game is currently exclusive to Apple Arcade. The soundtrack, however, isn’t. Scarlet Moon just released North’s score, which they describe as “a playful and grandiose orchestral fantasy soundtrack with retro accents.” “I had a lot of forward momentum rolling into my work on the soundtrack for Marble Knights,” North recalls for this one. “The fantastic art, gliding gameplay, and outstanding voice work all made spinning up the music very easy. And, of course, I almost lost my marbles when I heard I’d be working with Studio Trigger, one of my favorite animation studios ever. Needless to say, being able to write this fantasy/chiptune

Raheem Jarbo, AKA Mega Ran, is famous in multiple circles as a rap artist, a video game enthusiast, and even a teacher. He even holds the Guinness World Record for “most video game-related songs by a single person.” But his life has taken some crazy twists on the path to fame. Now you can read all about his fascinating life story in Dream Master, the new memoir out this week from Scarlet Moon. The book takes you through Mega Ran’s early days as a latchkey kid in Philadelphia, to his move to Phoenix, to his teaching career, to his dabblings in rap that sent his life on a whole new path. Multiple historical events are seen through his eyes along the way, such as Jesse Jackson’s presidential run, the controversial MOVE bombing in Philadelphia, and the aftermath of 9/11. Scarlet Moon calls Dream Master “part-self-help manual and part educational testimony.” “This is literally the story of my life– all my triumphs and tragedies,” says Raheem. “My main goal is to
