INTERLACE FEATURED ON THE SILENT HILL 3 SOUNDTRACK

JAPANESE HORROR MEETS SWEDISH AGGRESSION “Master of Horror” Akira Yamaoka is renowned for his truly unique soundtrack for the Silent Hill game series for Playstation, Xbox and PC. Often identified by his

unconventional ideas of music- making and producing, another uncommon transcendence was realized when he and Swedish techno-industrial act Interlace decided to exchange remixes for their new titles.

The collaboration first resulted in Interlace releasing the Mini-CD Under the Sky earlier this year, where Yamaoka contributed to the musical diversity by mixing his flavours of angst into the song Missing Link.

LYRICS THAT CROSS BOUNDARIES It is now time for the Japanese version of the Silent Hill 3 Soundtrack, where Interlace with their trademark of complexity and aggression have built Yamaoka’s song Rain of Brass Petals into a lyric track with the vocals of front man Oscar Wilkenson. The text is written on Yamaoka’s request, with the intention to bring forward the subtle story behind the notes. The Japanese version of the soundtrack will carry a tribute to Yamaoka by Wilkenson in the booklet as well as the special track. Akira Yamaoka met with the four members of Interlace earlier this year in Stockholm, Sweden, to exchange ideas and musical inspiration, something that affected all of them a great deal: -Yamaoka is so skilful and passionate about what he does. He communicates inspiration beyond words and language, says Wilkenson.
