Discography of the Resident Evil video game series

Biohazard Orchestra

Resident Evil Orchestra, known as Biohazard Orchestra in Japan, is a recording of a concert that was held in Japan featuring orchestral arrangements of music from Resident Evil (1996), Resident Evil 2 (1998), and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999) performed by the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra. The music was arranged by Kazunori Miyake.

Biohazard Original Soundtrack Remix

The Biohazard Original Soundtrack Remix was composed by Makoto Tomozawa, Akari Kaida, and Masami Ueda for the video game Biohazard, known as Resident Evil outside Japan. All compositions were rearranged by Makoto Tomozawa and mixed in QSound technology. Masami Ueda is the only member of the original composing team who continued on to score several more entries in the Resident Evil series.

Biohazard 2 Original Soundtrack

The Biohazard 2 Original Soundtrack was composed by Masami Ueda, Shusaku Uchiyama, and Syun Nishigaki for the video game Biohazard 2, known as Resident Evil 2 outside Japan. It does not contain every track written for the game however. The remaining tracks were included in the subsequent release of the Biohazard 2 Complete Track album on August 21, 1998. Track 22, The Underground Laboratory, receives a new arrangement in the Biohazard Outbreak Soundtrack in the track Into the Unknown.

In the US the soundtrack was published later that year by Viz Music, and is identical in all respects to the original Japanese version apart from having the first track, 'The Beginning of Story', split into four separate tracks. The European edition of the soundtrack, which was published by Pioneer LDCE, has exactly the same track listing as the Japanese version.

Biohazard 2 Complete Track

The Biohazard 2 Complete Track album was composed by Masami Ueda, Shusaku Uchiyama, and Syun Nishigaki for the video game Biohazard 2, known as Resident Evil 2 outside Japan. It contains most of the tracks left out of the Biohazard 2 Original Soundtrack released earlier that year, as well as in-game sound effects on Disc Two.

Biohazard 3: Last Escape Original Soundtrack

The Biohazard 3: Last Escape Original Soundtrack was composed for the video game Biohazard 3, known as Resident Evil 3: Nemesis outside Japan.

The soundtrack was released as the Resident Evil 3: Nemesis Original Soundtrack in both Germany, where it was published by Modern Graphics Distribution, and the US, where it was published by Mars Colony, in 1999 and 2000 respectively. The US and European editions are identical in terms of track listing to the original Japanese edition, and only differ in terms of packaging and additional bonus items.

Biohazard Code: Veronica Complete Original Soundtrack

The Biohazard Code: Veronica Complete Original Soundtrack was composed by Takeshi Miura, Hijiri Anze and Sanae Kasahara, and was released on March 23, 2001, featuring music from the survival horror game Resident Evil Code: Veronica (known as Biohazard Code: Veronica in Japan). It contains not only the tracks from the Biohazard Code: Veronica Original Soundtrack, released the previous year, but also includes music added to the Code: Veronica X version, as well as a few bonus tracks.

The soundtrack was released on August 14, 2001 in the US as the Resident Evil Code Veronica X Official Soundtrack and was published by Tokyopop Soundtrax. The US version is much shorter than the original Japanese release at nearly half the length, and contains only one disc as opposed to the original's two.

The Biohazard 4 Original Soundtrack, bearing the catalog number CPCA-10126~7, was released in Japan on December 22, 2005, for the retail price of ¥2,500. It contains 62 compositions from the game and the 48-page Visual Booklet with liner notes from composers Shusaku Uchiyama and Misao Senbongi.

The Biohazard 5 Original Soundtrack was composed for the video game Biohazard 5, known as Resident Evil 5 outside Japan.

The soundtrack was released by Sumthing Else Music Works in the US as the Resident Evil 5 Original Soundtrack on May 26, 2009. Unlike some of the previous soundtracks in the series, the track listing in the US version is identical to the original Japanese release.

It is worth noting that the soundtrack does not contain the orchestral tracks produced for the game, instead featuring "Digital Versions" of the tracks, done with synthesizers. The Orchestral tracks were released on a separate disc entitled Biohazard 5 Selection Track with the Xbox 360 version of the game in Japan, and were performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony.

Biohazard Sound Chronicle

The Biohazard Sound Chronicle: Best Track Box (2005), is a limited edition release of music from the Biohazard game series, known as Resident Evil outside Japan. It includes music from Resident Evil Zero (2002), Resident Evil (2002), Resident Evil 2 (1998), Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999), Resident Evil Code: Veronica (2000), and Resident Evil 4 (2005). The six-CD set includes some previously unreleased music but also lacks some tracks that are included in individual releases.

As the first three discs are, apart from their shorter track listings, essentially the same as the original soundtracks for each game (with the exception of Disc One – Biohazard 2, which contains tracks from both the Biohazard 2 Original Soundtrack and the Biohazard 2 Complete Soundtrack), please see their respective above entries for composers and other information. Disc Four contains music from the Nintendo GameCube remake of the original Resident Evil, and was composed by Shusaku Uchiyama, Misao Senbongi and Makoto Tomozawa. Disc Five contains music from Resident Evil 0, and was composed by Ichiro Kohmoto, Riyou Kinugasa, Ryoue Takagi, Shingo Kataoka, Ayumu Murai, Takashi Honda and Seiko Kobuchi. Disc Six contains music from Resident Evil 4 and, like the first three discs, is identical to the original soundtrack in all respects besides its much shorter track listing. Both Resident Evil 0 and the Gamecube remake of Resident Evil did not receive official stand-alone soundtracks.
