The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow Soundtrack

Join us for The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow, a thickly moody collection of folk horror soundscapes by The Machine. The Demon.

When ‘barrow-digger’ Thomasina Bateman arrives in the remote town of Bewlay, nothing seems to go her way. The locals are peculiar and unwelcoming, her contact has vanished, and even her tools are missing. But these mundane setbacks pale in comparison to the supernatural horrors that soon close in as she sets out to excavate the mysterious local legend Hob’s Barrow…

Tasked with crafting soundscapes for the Cloak and Dagger Games developed folk horror game, composer The Machine. The Demon. crafted a series of tracks covering the story’s many moods and locales. Ominous, dangerous, bizarre, but always utterly immersive; the soundtrack transports you back into the folk tale with the drop of a needle.

The ‘Visions of Bewlay’ variant is limited to 250 copies through Lost In Cult and Stumpy Frog. Grab a copy at Stumpy Frog Records here!
