Lollipop Chainsaw’s Soundtrack Gets A Much Needed Dose Of Urine
Designer Suda 51 is known for his punk rock edge. You can see and hear it in all of his games, from No More Heroes to Shadows of the Damned. His next game, Lollipop Chainsaw will continue this tradition by bringing in the electrifying work of James Euringer, or Little Jimmy Urine. Euringer is the front-man, songwriter, and programmer for the band, Mindless Self Indulgence, as well as another band called The Left Rights. I can’t say I’ve heard of either, but I’m also admittedly a little musically illiterate.
Euringer’s work will be heard in the boss bights and he’ll even voice Zed, one of the bosses, who you can check out after the jump. Lollipop Chainsaw doesn’t yet have a release date, but it will be out this year for the PS3 and Xbox 360. In related news, stay tuned for a special Lollipop Chainsaw-related event that will happen very soon. READ MORE

[Random Cool] Marilyn Manson Performs ‘Reflecting God’ on Mechanical Animals Tour!
![MManson2111211 [Random Cool] Marilyn Manson Performs Reflecting God on Mechanical Animals Tour!](http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/photosizer/upload/MManson2111211.jpg "[Random Cool] Marilyn Manson Performs Reflecting God on Mechanical Animals Tour!")
The first time I saw Marilyn Manson was in May of 1994 in Houston, TX. He was opening up for Nine Inch Nails at the International Ballroom on the outskirts of town and I caught the last song of the set, “Misery Machine”. I wasn’t all that impressed.
Later that summer I picked up “Portrait Of An American Family” and fell in love with the record, trying to convert all of my friends to no avail. Sure it had some dated samples the group would later outgrow, but it was catchy as hell. And his message, though yet to be fully refined, was loud and clear.
On Halloween 1994 Nine Inch Nails came back in town with Manson still opening. Now familiar with the record I was stoked to see them, but was again let down. Daisy Berkowitz flubbed his parts and Sara Lee Lucas somehow kept the tempo lower than the album. I kind of even stopped listening to “Portrait” after that.
I’m not totally a metal guy, in fact I lean more towards singer/songwriter stuff and in the early years of college I was obsessed with noise rock. So when “Antichrist Superstar” came out I kind of let it pass me by. Years went by without me listening to a note of his music.
But in September of 1998, when I heard “The Dope Show” and saw his VMA performance, I decided to give Manson another try. Even though it borrowed heavily thematically from “Ziggy Stardust” I loved the music, message and vibe of “Mechanical Animals”. In April of 1999 I made the trek from Austin to San Antonio with some friends to check out Manson at the Alamodome.

The first is some rather sexy box art for the upcoming Shadows of the Damned and the second are three free songs, two from Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka.

The Song In The Dead Island Trailer Can Be Yours, For A Small Price
There is no doubt that the Dead Island trailer was bone chilling and spine shivering, but we all know without that hauntingly calm score in the background the trailer wouldn’t have had such a huge impact. Well, the demand for that song was so huge that they decided to release it on iTunes for 99cents.
The song was Produced by Savalas, the “Dead Island Trailer Theme” by Giles Lamb (featuring Mairi Campbell, Peter Nicholson & Guido De Groot). Whatever all that mumbo jumbo means. If you would like to download the song, and who wouldn’t, you can get it right HERE! READ MORE
A Taste of Silent Hill: Downpour’s Soundtrack, Final Word On Multiplayer
Longtime series composer Akira Yamaoka left Konami to work on the long anticipated action/horror game Shadows of the Damned. His departure left the future of the series a little cloudy since Yamaoka’s had a powerful influence on the game’s atmosphere since the first game. I was worried until news came out that Dexter composer Dan Licht was going to be working on the music for the upcoming game. Below you’ll find a sample of what he’s been working on, and while it’s decidedly different from what we’re used to, I’m thinking it’s still very Silent Hill.
So that’s the good news, would you like some more? Well, it’s either good or bad depending on how you look at it. I’m a glass half-full kind of guy so I see the confirmation of no multiplayer in Downpour as a good thing. After the jump you’ll find out why. READ MORE

If you head past the break you can read the video games half of Jonathan’s interview. And if you head HERE you can read the 1st half. All about composing horror movies. It’s a worth while read, so READ IT! READ MORE
2010 BLACK FRIDAY CHOPPING LIST: MUSIC
While the horror genre is most closely tied to the medium of film, it also sometimes manifests itself in the musical realm, with some acts being more aboveboard with their horror-movie references (i.e. White Zombie, The Misfits) and others merely hinting at a subtle menace threatening to rise up at any moment. Which you prefer really depends on how you like your blood and guts served – fresh off the grill or slipped quietly into your dinnertime soup (or maybe it just depends on what you’re in the mood for). In the “Music” section of B-D’s Black Friday Chopping List we focus a little bit on both types, featuring new releases from artists both classic and contemporary that are firmly entrenched – either overtly or subtly – in the horror tradition.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Rapes Everything Ever EVER
Well almost 1 year ago exactly Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 set a record as the biggest entertainment launch in history pulling in 310 million dollars in sales. Well Call Of Duty: Black Ops brought in 360 million in sales. INSANE. 2 years running Activision and its 2 Call Of Duty producing children Treyarch and Infinity Ward destroyed the competition.
Although it does help sales having a multi-platform release, none the less they have still together pulled in close to a billion dollars. READ MORE
