Rust Brings The Sounds of Survival to Vinyl

For over a decade, players have washed up on Rust's unforgiving island. From humble beginnings and uneasy alliances, there's always something new to uncover. And now we've crafted the perfect soundtrack to take you through the motions of Explore, Build, Survive. Spanning 29 tracks, this specially curated vinyl collection captures the atmosphere that defines the game.

The music balances isolation and wonder, creating a soundtrack that feels as vast and fickle as the island itself. Composed by Alex Rehberg, the score has become an essential part of Rust's identity, helping shape the world where players create their own rules. The release also features artwork created in collaboration with Lewis Ainslie, inspired by the tension of life on the island. The Laced Records Exclusive Edition features grey and black splatter-effect discs drawing influence from the game's industrial landscape. A standard black edition is also available via Laced and retail partners.

Composed by Alex Rehberg, Rust's soundtrack combines ambient soundscapes with jagged synth textures and heavy drums to reinforce the feelings and emotions that the game elicits in Rehberg and players: "Darkness, brutality, danger, and mystery, with dashes of hope and peace."

"Rust is generally dark, gritty, and brutal, which is reflected in the big drums, distorted synthesisers, and more amped-up pieces of music," says Alex Rehberg. "But Rust also has moments of precarious peace and hope. When writing some of the softer and more ambient pieces, I tend to imagine situations like getting back to your base with a full inventory or tending to your plants behind the safety of your walls."
