Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima is a fan of all kinds of art, including heavy metal.

Back in March, he shared that he was listening to Lorna Shore’s Pain Remains, and more recently, he bought himself a copy of Polyphia‘s latest album, Remember That You Will Die.

Polyphia is one of the most technically interesting progressive metal bands making music today, and it’s super cool to see Kojima give them a shout-out.

Per a tweet he uploaded to Twitter, Kojima shared a couple of photos of the band’s album and wrote the following:

“Bought a CD of POLYPHIA’s first album ‘REMEMBER THAT YOU WILL DIE’ recommended by Eric. I am working on the project while being immersed in their guitars of the extra dimension.”

By project, we assume Kojima is referring to his upcoming video game Death Stranding 2. Polyphia’s music is perfect for all kinds of occasions, and it’s cool to hear that it’s providing Kojima some entertainment as he’s designing a game.

For those of Kojima’s followers who are just tuning into the band, they are in for one hell of an awesome progressive metal treat. If you have checked out Remember That You Will Die, what do you think of the record?

On a sort of ironic note, given Hideo Kojima’s interest in Lorna Shore, band singer Will Ramos has also expressed that he enjoys Polyphia. When we chatted with Ramos last year, he told us how much he likes instrumental music and Polyphia’s tunes. To find out what he had to say about the band, follow the link below.
