Exhumed – I Rot Within

Creating the cover for “All Guts, No Glory” was by far the most fun we’ve had doing a photo shoot. We enlisted the help of Caleb Schneider (who plays bass w/Danny and Leon in our grinding label- mates Murder Construct and also in the excellent Bad Acid Trip) and his roommate Dirk Rogers (also in Bad Acid Trip – by the way, Danny recorded the drums for their new album, which is a great mix of Napalm Death and the Dead Kennedys – you should definitely check it out!) who both work in the special effects industry. Sawa, the photographer came highly recommended by Leon, having done a lot of Suicide Girls shoots and also band stuff as well. She was super friendly and excited about using all of the great props, and most importantly to me, very organized and able to coordinate four idiots (that’d be us) a shit-load of props and make-up effects, and a bunch of our friends as zombie extras.
 
Dirk and Caleb both work in the special effects industry, and Dirk’s backyard is literally full of props from years of working in the business – the place looks like a fucking haunted house. There were tons of places to look totally menacing and metal – a huge tree with corpses all over the trunk, cobwebbed alcoves, coffins, and musty, dilapidated sheds that would make Leatherface’s family feel right at home. And most importantly, we had a lot of beer on hand. We quickly worked through the “live” band shots with all four of us, and then moved to the individual band member shots, with each person heading to make-up as soon as their individual shots were done. Dirk and Caleb were true pros, tackling the zombie makeup two at a time and we were looking like proper flesh hungry zombies ready for anything Romero could imagine. Applying the zombie make-up took about 45 minutes per person, and as we finished the individual “live” shots, we started doing individual “dead” shots with the coffin. Like I said, Sawa was really organized and efficient and wrangled us into a state resembling productivity in excellent fashion. By the time all four of us were properly zombified, the extras (a bunch of friends of ours from the LA area) were masked and bloodied, we were already having a blast.
The original concept was that the band would be the focal point of the cover, but Relapse felt it was a bit dicey to do that and that we were in danger of looking like GWAR / Lordi / some sort of Death Metal Kiss (and in fact, Kiss was a big part of the inspiration of the idea to be honest), so we changed the concept to be a pit of zombies eating each other with us in the pit. In the end, compositionally the pit would be kind of a non-image, and would have been very hard to make anything distinct and recognizable , so as we were shooting, it became clear that we were veering right back to the original concept – largely because of the fact that it would simply look better and also because our makeup was so much cooler than everyone else’s (due to time / personnel / financial constraints, it would have been prohibitive to make up all the extras as thoroughly as we were) that it would be foolish not to showcase it. The end result captured not only all the gross, grisly madness that’s at the heart of our imagery, but also the sense of humor that keeps us enjoying the music and gore and most importantly each other as people, musicians, and ultimately friends. It was a great day, and a great time. I hope that you guys enjoy the art as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Cheers,
Harvey

Marco Beltrami’s ‘Scream’ Score Gets Deluxe Reissue For 30th Anniversary

By

Seminal slasher Scream rewrote the rules in 1996, and for its 30th anniversary,  Varèse Sarabande and Craft Recordings are celebrating with a new anniversary reissue of Marco Beltrami’s landmark score.

The original 14-track album returns to vinyl in a collectible “blood-soaked” sleeve on August 28.

If blood red isn’t your color, there’s good news: the reissue will also be available in many different limited-edition exclusive pressings.

In addition to the wide “Woodsboro Bloodbath” red vinyl pictured below, look for the following exclusives:

An Extended Cut Edition of the Scream (Original Motion Picture Score), featuring all 40 of the film’s cues from the 2022 Scream boxset, will also be available on CD. All formats are available to pre-order or pre-save today.

Top L-R: “Knife’s Edge” silver vinyl with poster (Target), “Surprise, Sidney” metallic blend vinyl (Barnes & Noble), “Don’t Hang Up” clear vinyl (Books-A-Million),
Bottom L-R: “I’ll Be Right Back” blue vinyl (Urban Outfitters), “Final Girl” splatter vinyl (Hot Topic), “Wrong Answer” Blood Red Splatter vinyl (Varèse Sarabande/Craft Recordings), and “Final Phone Call” blue vinyl (Indie Retail)

Marco Beltrami composed the iconic score as a then young, up-and-coming composer—one who, ironically, had never scored or even seen a horror film.

Yet just three years after he completed the University of Southern California’s rigorous scoring program, Beltrami submitted 13 minutes of music for Scream’s opening sequence and his future was forever changed. “We knew in half a minute that we had found our composer,” Craven told Variety in 2012. “The music was haunting, beautiful and totally original. Marco turned out to be shy and soft-spoken, but a fountain of ideas and innovation. I never looked back.”
