Bespoke slipcase cover artwork is by illustrator Álvaro Jiménez, while inner sleeve artwork is by The Game Kitchen’s Jesús Campos "Nerkin".
The music of Blasphemous II does more than just colour the setting: it breathes life into it. Rousing marches, elegiac laments, and processional dirges echo out from crumbling cathedrals and across blasted landscapes, creating the sense of a world that feels truly lived in.
Throughout, composer Carlos Viola filters his own experiences of visceral Flamenco performances and devotional music through the lens of gothic fantasy. “Corona de Siete Azahares” soars from the parapets of high towers, buffeted by dueling guitars and propulsive snare rolls. “Del Santo Nombre” in contrast provides a moment of quiet introspection, forlorn piano melodies creeping across flagstones while looming strings cast long shadows.
Perhaps the most surprising moments come in the form of Viola’s choice of boss fight themes, for instance with the Lynchian ambience of “Cante Desde Lo Profundo”; or the ever-increasing percussive intensity of “Súbita Caligrafía dºe Plata”.
