Trek to Yomi has caught the attention of many because of its striking style that evokes many famous samurai films. Its soundtrack seems to be aiming for that same mood, too, as evidenced the exclusive “Echoes of Yomi” track that ComingSoon has obtained.

“Echoes of Yomi” comes from Cody Matthew Johnson (with additional music from Yoko Honda) who has made music for other games like Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5. It is described as a “pure distortion and perversion of Gagaku and a fleet of Japanese instruments to support the darkest and unknowable depths of Hiroki’s journey in Trek to Yomi.” Gagaku is a type of Japanese classical music. “Echoes of Yomi” is more of an ambient track and is a stark contrast to “Dancing Blades,” a faster track that Emperia Sound and Music uploaded last week.

The gameplay trailer showed protagonist Hiroki as he moves through the 2.5D world and slashes through his enemies with only one or two slashes.
