Silent Hill tribute album 'Silence' brings the creeps photo

It's a simple fact: say the words "Silent Hill" and I froth at the mouth like a rabid dog. It's been this way since the first game in the series sunk its claws into my psyche, and I suspect unless the series goes the way of the Dodo I'll always be this way. Naturally, I'm also interested in what other obsessed Silent Hill fans are into, so when I see one does a tribute album, I'm all about checking it out.

Dtoid cblogger Danflor let us know about a new release called "Silence", a thirty minute album composed by a Canadian fan named Renard. You can hear the entire thing for free on his YouTube page, and I can confirm after a listen that not only would Akira Yamaoka be proud, but this is scary as all hell. Danflor says it's his tribute to the original Silent Hill, a sentiment I can totally get behind. If you want to own it, you can download it for $5 here. Wicked!

It reminds me of this guy who does soundtracks to HP Lovecraft stories. Hate to spam a link but here goes: http://www.aklo.net

Rabbit Junk has just made a black metal EP based on Lovecraftian type poetry. Pretty bad ass.

I have 604 songs of Renard's multiple personas in my playlist. He is a God. I can't wait to hear this.

I love how they inserted furry fanart into Silent Hill. Wait, no I don't. It's disgusting. No way in hell I'm buying this from vulpvibe.

@sonicandtails There's a large difference between being thinking it's contagious and not wanting to financially support a community.

Hot Nurse Anubis???
I'm going to check it out after work.
And speaking of SH soundtrack , i just scored a new record of SH3 opening song - you are not here on DDR:Supernova at my local arcade last month.First time when i played it on DDR , i ended up dying because i was giving too much attention to the background FMV (since they have few extra scenes and Heather singing scenes)
