Milan Records has released the SAROS soundtrack on all music streaming services, including Apple Music and Spotify. Sam Slater composed the OST.
A press release provides an overview of the soundtrack:
Anchored by a bold sonic identity of drone metal and dark power electronics, Slater’s work is effortlessly enmeshed into the fabric of the game, with each level developing its own unique soundscape shaped directly by the shifting environments of the planet Carcosa. The music swells into a maelstrom of drums, corrupted human voices and thunderous guitars as the game’s protagonist Arjun Devraj faces the Overlords, yet it never loses its thread of emotionality at the heart of Arjun’s journey. Also included on the 15-track collection is “Reputations” by acclaimed producer and DJ Daniel Avery, who provides an intensely pulsating, techno-tinged endcap to the album.
SAROS is available now on PlayStation 5. The game features the likes of Rahul Kohli as the protagonist in a mix of fast-paced roguelike action and cosmic horror. Final Weapon reviewed SAROS and gave it a 4.5/5. We described it as a “fantastic experience from beginning to end. The narrative delivers a brilliant cosmic horror narrative with a great cast of characters, brilliant performances, a rich and intriguing world, and incredible representation thanks to a great South Asian protagonist. Further, the gameplay is a non-stop thrill ride throughout, that never feels too difficult despite the occasional spike in challenge. While there are some issues with the post-game and build options, this is a must-play for any PlayStation 5 owners and an early game of the year contender.”
