The upcoming God Eater soundtrack is scheduled for an April 27th, 2016 release and the folks at Lantis have put together a pretty solid 15-minute promotional video that highlights the numerous tracks on it with a few seconds for each.

The cast includes Ryuichi Kijima as Renka Utsugi, Hiroaki Hirata as Lindow Amamiya, Maaya Sakamoto as Alisa Illinichina Amiella, Kazuya Nakai as Soma Schicksal, Daisuke Sakaguchi as Kota Fujiki and Sayaka Ohara as Sakuya.

In a world ravaged by mad gods, these “God Eaters” fight a desperate war…
