Johto Legends - Full Album Preview

Dearest backers,
Today we're incredibly excited to reveal a full album preview of Johto Legends, and the musical journey ahead of us!
Feast your ears on this:
Many months went into creating the nostalgic arrangements you just heard, a huge feat made possible only by the kindness and support of video game music fans such as yourselves. Soon, we'll be able to share our fond memories of Gold and Silver together when Johto Legends is released in late January of 2018!
As stated in our previous update, mastering a project of this size will be taking a bit of extra time, hence the January release. We expect to be sending out rewards (posters, postcards, stickers, and other items) in the following months, including CDs and vinyl!
Our partners at iam8bit are unable to start the production process until final, mastered tracks are completed. Since the process of making vinyl is highly specialized, the music will then be specifically mastered for the medium, then routed to test pressing, to insure optimal quality. Once approved, manufacturing will begin. Because final mastered tracks will be delivered to iam8bit by Materia in early January, iam8bit estimates the Johto Legends vinyl will ship sometime in Q2 2018. Until music is in hand, the final schedule cannot be locked in.
We appreciate your patience, and we can't wait for you all to hear our magical album!
With thanks,
Braxton and Sebastian

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to give you the latest update on the mastering process for Johto!
We've been poring over every detail in our massive 70+ minute album to ensure the quality of each track exceeds our listeners' expectations. We've made significant progress toward getting the CD out into the wild for all trainers to experience!

1 day left to back a MASSIVELY EPIC Castlevania project!!

Just listen to the haunting previews in this video -- it's sure to send a (delightful) shiver down your spine!
The Resurrection crew is just $10K shy of their goal to record with a professional orchestra and choir (similar to last year's Hero of Time, another epic, Materia-backed orchestra project last year). The campaign is quickly drawing to a close, and they need as much help as they can get right now.
So whether you're a fan of Castlevania's vampiric sonorities, or are simply an orchestral VGM lover looking to support more amazing recordings like Hero of Time and Johto Legends, please consider pledging to Resurrection of the Night!Otherwise, share the project with your Dracula-loving friends!
