Borderlands 4 soundtrack vinyl release
The chaos is ready for a groove. Celebrating the one-year anniversary of the looter shooter, Borderlands 4 is trading digital mayhem for analog heat with a brand new vinyl soundtrack release.
Gearbox Entertainment has officially confirmed that the intensely raucous musical score of the game is heading to vinyl, collaborating with Laced Records for a special two-LP set. This isn’t just a collection of tunes; it’s a sonic deep dive into the madness of the game world, celebrating the chaotic energy that defines Pandora.
The resulting 2LP set boasts 22 specially remastered tracks, pulling from the diverse soundscapes of the game. The soundtrack features incredible contributions from composers Finishing Move Inc., Cris Velasco, Joshua Carro, and Christian Pacaud, weaving a tapestry of noise and rhythm that perfectly mirrors the game’s identity.
A particular highlight features a potent collaboration: Des Rocks, who contributed tracks like ‘This Land’ and ‘Thrum Dumpster’, alongside heavyweights like Bowling For Soup’s Jaret Reddick and former Pantera vocalist Terry Glaze. This blend of rock insanity sets the stage for a truly unforgettable listening experience.
The vinyl release is cleverly structured, with each side dedicated to a major biome of the in-game planet Kairos—from The Fadefields and The Terminus Range to Carcadia Burn and the hostile Dominion City—giving listeners a guided tour through the game’s volatile landscapes.
The full collection spans explosive tracks such as ‘Madness with a View’, ‘Sigmoid’, and ‘Tectonic’ across the sides, offering a full spectrum of sonic intensity. The tracklist includes deep cuts like ‘Brain Scar’ and ‘Arachnophobia’, ensuring that every moment of the game’s wildness is underscored by powerful music.
The soundtrack creators aimed for a sound that reflected pure, unadulterated energy. Des Rocks put it plainly about the process, stating that he wanted the music to feel enormous and capture real energy, noting that he was “pissed and tired of recording” but driven by the mission to harness chaos into a concise laser beam of rock insanity. Audio director Mark Petty echoed this sentiment, wanting the soundtrack to be more raucous than ever before.
Fans can now acquire this epic soundtrack on vinyl. In addition to standard black vinyl, a limited-edition ‘Max Mayhem’ set featuring eye-catching red and yellow discs is available for pre-order through Laced Records. Get ready to spin the tracks and feel the raw energy of Borderlands 4.
