BARDS. IN. SPAAAACE! Spelljams Confirmed! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Music and D&D Collide in a Unique Album of Original Tracks<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>RENTON, WA \u2013 August 16, 2022 \u2013 For nearly five decades, Dungeons & Dragons <\/strong>has inspired generations of creative people to make movies, novels and, yes, music. Now that relationship is even more distinct with the release today of an album of music created by cutting-edge bands and musical acts all inspired by Spelljammer: Adventures in Space<\/em><\/strong>. The far-out storytelling in the world\u2019s greatest roleplaying game\u2019s latest offering is fertile ground for composing some of the most original songs you\u2019ll hear this year from bands like Magic Sword, Shabazz Palaces <\/strong>and OSEES<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Spelljams <\/em><\/strong>features a double LP\u2019s worth of tracks from artists all produced by Chris Funk<\/strong>, guitarist from The Decemberists <\/strong>who plays D&D with many folks in the music scene in Portland, Oregon. Chris Perkins, story architect at D&D and lead designer of Spelljammer<\/em>, worked with Funk to bring the Flash Gordon-esque soundtrack to life.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what they like on the Rock of Bral?” asked Perkins, referring to a location in Spelljammer<\/em>. “Rock music! The brilliant Chris Funk has assembled a motley crew of bards to create Spelljams<\/em>\u2014music inspired by our newest Spelljammer adventure, Light of Xaryxis<\/em>. I encourage Dungeon Masters use Spelljams <\/em>as background music during their D&D game sessions or listen to it while dreaming up future hijinks. Everyone else: enjoy the music of Wildspace!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHelping facilitate bringing this world to life through music and the amazing artists’ visions that were selected was an honor of a lifetime,” said Funk. “I am of the opinion when people think of Dungeons & Dragons that there is a preconceived underscore of what these worlds might sound like. With this bold return to Spelljammer <\/em>we were excited to push the boundaries deep into Wildspace, working with artists from diverse musical backgrounds that could challenge what music in the multiverse of the world\u2019s greatest roleplaying game might sound like. Each artist was given a character or plot prompt from the storyline, then challenged to write an original composition based on Light of Xaryxis<\/em>. We hope you enjoy the result!\u201d<\/p>\n

Spelljams<\/em> is available digitally now everywhere you stream and purchase music. Stream Spelljams here: https:\/\/pocp.co\/spelljams<\/a><\/p>\n

Pre-orders are open now for the vinyl Artifact Edition deluxe double LP which will come in a triple gatefold LP jacket with custom art and graphic design from the D&D Team at Wizards of the Coast.
