NieR: Automata Arrangement Album Become as Gods Now Available

Arrangers ROZEN+REVEN follow up their most successful album to date, NieR: Glory to Mankind, with a brand new hybrid orchestral pop tribute

 
SEATTLE - AUGUST 27, 2021 - Materia Collective is pleased to present NieR: Become as Gods, the latest masterpiece from arrangers ROZEN+REVEN. Become as Gods is a follow-up to 2017's NieR: Glory to Mankind, the duo's most successful tribute to date, and tackles eleven pieces from the award-winning NieR: Automata soundtrack originally composed by the MoNACA sound team.

The duo's hybrid orchestral-pop sound blends heavy-hitting strings and brass, stark choir, textures of winds and synths, electric guitar, and a plethora of vocals from REVEN. The live orchestra sections were recorded by Sofia Session Orchestra and Choir in Sofia, Bulgaria, including a traditional Bulgarian Choir on several tracks. The result is an intense trip back through the world of the game, but whether this constitutes Ending B or perhaps Ending C, D, or E is up to interpretation.

NieR: Become as Gods is available now on all digital and streaming platforms along with pre-orders for CDs and vinyl that will begin shipping in 2022:
"Coming back to the NieR: Automata soundtrack with more experience and more tools at our disposal felt very much like coming back to complete another run of the game," notes REVEN. "We had a lot of ideas and knew how we wanted to approach a lot of the album, but there were plenty of unforeseen challenges--like a global pandemic--that we had to navigate this time around. That being said, we're really proud of this one and think it has some of our best work yet.”

  1. Mourning ~ God Have Mercy, Pt. I
