New Vinyl Release: Colin Stetson’s Haunting Uzumaki Soundtrack is Now Available to Pre-order on Black & White Spiral Vinyl
Following this past Friday’s Uzumaki digital soundtrack & the series’ highly-anticipated debut on Adult Swim & Max over the weekend, Colin Stetson‘s haunting music for the series is now available for pre-order in vinyl format, featuring new cover artwork illustrated by Uzumaki author and artist Junji Ito exclusively for the vinyl release.
The collectible vinyl package features a 180-gram picture disc with the iconic spiral pressed on each side, a dual-sided 12×12″ insert printed on premium art lithograph paper, as well as a classic obi strip featuring the Uzumaki logo.
An inexplicable tale of dread and darkness, Uzumaki follows the residents of the Japanese village of Kurozu-Cho as their lives are consumed by an enigmatic curse in the form of a spiral. Born from the unparalleled mind and perspective of mangaka Junji Ito, this beloved horror story has been captivating audiences since it came out in 1998. Now a prestige anime series co-produced by Adult Swim and Production IG USA, with author Junji Ito’s blessing, this highly anticipated anime adaptation of Uzumaki drags a new generation of fans into a nightmare from which there is no escape.
Composer & saxophone powerhouse Colin Stetson (Hereditary, The Menu, Color Out of Space) delivers a mesmerizing original score for the Hiroshi Nagahama-directed series, weaving an intricate sonic palette that is deeply intertwined with Uzumaki’s haunting narrative of obsession and psychological horror. Utilizing his unique circular breathing technique and layers of woodwinds and strings, Stetson conjures an otherworldly, swirling soundscape that lingers long after the final note.
The four episode series will air Saturdays at 12:30 AM this fall during the Toonami block, with new episodes available for streaming on Max the day after. New episodes will air weekly on Saturdays in Japanese with English subtitles, with English dub encores on Thursdays at 12:30 AM beginning October 3.
