Aragami: Nightfall is a prequel expansion to the original Aragami, following shadow assassins Hyo and Shinobu on a four-chapter mission set before the events of the main game. With only four tracks, this is an extremely focused listen that mirrors the DLC's tight, compact structure.

"Hyo & Shinobu" establishes the partnership between the two protagonists with a theme that balances camaraderie with an underlying tension, setting the stage for everything that follows. "Omen" builds unease through atmospheric layers, perfectly suited for the stealth gameplay where every shadow could hide a threat or an opportunity.
"Soul Searching" takes a more introspective turn, reflecting the deeper motivations driving these two assassins as they pursue their mysterious objective. The music carries that same blend of traditional Japanese instrumentation and modern production that defined the original Aragami's sound.
"A Prelude to Vengeance" closes things out with a track that lives up to its name, building toward the confrontation that sets the main game's events in motion. While four tracks might seem slim, they perfectly encapsulate the Nightfall experience -- this is a soundtrack that knows exactly what it needs to accomplish and does so with precision.
It serves as a worthy companion piece to the original Aragami OST and adds meaningful context to the series' musical identity.
