About this album
Chapter 29: The Damned Underscores is a 16-song album from VITAL, released in 2026. It's film score and electronic, built on piano, synth and sound effects. The songs run 70 to 160 BPM, in keys like Gm, Cm and Em, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for crime, true crime, horror and trailer. Every song comes with an instrumental, stems (drones, piano and pulses) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
