Resident Evil 5 Original Soundtrack
Featuring Music Composed by Kota Suzuki, Hideki Okugawa, Akihiko Narita and Seiko
Kobuchi


New York - May 26th, 2009 -Sumthing Else Music Works, Inc., through its licensing
relationship with Capcom®, proudly presents Resident Evil 5 Original Soundtrack
featuring the original music score from the new generation of the fear-inducing
video game series. The Resident Evil 5 Original Soundtrack 3-CD set is released
today to retail through Sumthing Else Music Works (www.sumthing.com).

The physical CD is distributed by Sumthing Distribution and the digital release
is available on Sumthing Digital (www.sumthingdigital.com) and iTunes®.

The Resident Evil® series has sold over 40 million units since the original game
was released in 1996 and has spawned a multi-million dollar trilogy of films from
Sony Pictures. Winning numerous awards and widespread positive reviews, Resident
Evil® 5 is one of the most talked about and critically acclaimed games of the year.
Game Informer honored Resident Evil 5 with "Game of the Month" status and an impressive
9.5/10 review score while PlayStation: The Official Magazine rated Resident Evil
5 with a perfect five-out-of-five score, remarking that "RE5 takes the co-op experience
to a new level and reinvigorates the survival horror genre in the process."
Lead Composer Kota Suzuki: "As the look of the game has changed from the previous
series, I spent many hours trying to figure out how to approach it with music. We
tend to relate horror with darkness, but this time the game takes place in Africa
with a blazing hot sun." I contemplated on how I could stir the player's emotion
by music embodying two opposite elements? After much trial and error, the director
came up with a key phrase 'panic horror.' And from there, I put my focus on panic-stricken
music for the players. In fact, I did often get panicky while playing this game
myself. I wonder what your experiences will be?"

Co-producer and series veterans Jun Takeuchi (Lost Planet®) and Masachika Kawata
(Resident Evil® 4 Wii Edition, Resident Evil®: Umbrella Chronicles) unleash an
unprecedented level of fear for the new generation in Resident Evil 5, the sequel
to one of the highest-rated videogames in history according to Metacritic.com and
Gamerankings.com. Delivering an unbelievable level of detail, realism and control,
Resident Evil 5 brings new fans to the series across the globe. For more information
