Album Notes & Community Reviews

This is the official standalone release of the influential soundtrack composed by Trent Reznor for the 1996 id Software video game 'Quake'. The score was groundbreaking for its time, eschewing melody for dark, industrial sound design and ambient textures that perfectly complemented the game's gothic horror atmosphere. Originally embedded as in-game audio, this archival vinyl release presents the music as a complete, curated listening experience for the first time.
