Scarlet Moon Records is thrilled to release the third volume in their Christmas album series, Scarlet Moon Christmas Volume III. The series features game composers arranging Christmas standards and game music in Christmas style with this latest volume bringing together an all-star cast including Vince DiCola (The Transformers: The Movie (1986)), Osamu Kubota (DJMAX), Justin Lassen (Underworld film series), Dale North (Wizard of Legend), and more covering rock, funk, chillout, and FM styles among others. Scarlet Moon Christmas Volume III is fully licensed and is now available:

“For our annual Christmas album, we invite our internal Scarlet Moon talent and friends we’ve collaborated with throughout the year,” explains Scarlet Moon producer Jayson Napolitano. “Holiday music can be pretty polarizing what with hearing the same standards over and over again, so this is our way of keeping things fresh… You’re not going to hear Christmas music like this anywhere else.”

Additionally, Scarlet Moon has an ongoing Black Friday promotion through the end of Cyber Monday that will net customers 30% off this and their entire catalog of game soundtracks and arrange albums. This includes physical editions of the Billboard-charting Prescription for Sleep: Celeste and Prescription for Sleep: UNDERALE which make for the perfect stocking stuffers. Just use the code blackfriday2018 on Bandcamp.
