Django Unchained Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Details Released

Full details for the soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film Django Unchained have been released, including cover art and track listing, which you can see below. For the first time in his film career, Tarantino collaborated with artists to create entirely original music. The album will be available in stores and at all digital retailers on Dec. 18th while the film comes out on Christmas Day, Dec. 25th.

Tarantino states, “I want to thank all the artists who contributed original songs (a first for me) to the picture. Most of these contributions came out of the artists’ own inspiration and their illustration of the film’s soul is invaluable. In addition to the new original songs I am also using a lot of older recordings on the soundtrack – many of which came from my personal vinyl collection. Instead of having the record companies give me new digitally cleaned up versions of these recordings from the 60′s and 70′s, I wanted to use the vinyl I’ve been listening to for years – complete with all the pops and cracks. I even kept the sound of the needle being put down on the record. Basically because I wanted people’s experience to be the same as mine when they hear this soundtrack for the first time.READ MORE

[Retro Review] Silent Hill 1 OST

silenthill1ostcover [Retro Review] Silent Hill 1 OST
It’s hard to believe that it was over 13 years ago that Silent Hill for Playstation came out. Has it really been so long? Have so many years ticked away? It seems like only yesterday that I was playing the game with my friend in his basement, our eyes wide with fear, every creak the house made a warning that something, some THING, was after us. 
It was also the time that my now obvious near-obsession with Silent Hill began. For me, Silent Hill was to The Shining in the way Resident Evil was to Aliens. And as much as I love Aliens (a WHOLE LOT), The Shining is the movie I go to when I want to get scared. Part of the appeal is the work of renowned composer Akira Yamaoka whose name became synonymous with the franchise. Yamaoka’s work was nothing short of terrifying, creating an aural horror that assaulted the senses even when nothing was happening. 
So, in honor of March and the release of both Silent Hill: Downpour (OST review/game review) and the Silent Hill HD Collection, I decided to go back to my mid-teen years and revisit the OST to original Silent Hill, the one that started it all.

Horror Fans Unite: Help See The Release Of ‘The Walking Dead OST’

 Horror Fans Unite: Help See The Release Of The Walking Dead OST
Frustrated with AMC’s lack of a The Walking Dead OST release, fans of the series have taken to creating a Facebook group to try and convince the studio execs otherwise. The thought process is that the more users that join this group, the more of a chance there is that an OST will be released. The music of the series is crafted by award-winning composer Bear McCreary, who also scored such shows as Battlestar Galactica, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and more.
I’m a personal fan of Bear and his work. The guy shows not only a passion for music but for really diving into a project and letting it become a part of himself. It’s that personal touch that impresses me the most.
Check out our interview with Bear here.

[Review] Silent Hill: Downpour OST

 [Review] Silent Hill: Downpour OST
Tomorrow sees the release of Konami’s eighth entry into the Silent Hill series, Silent Hill: Downpour. For the past seven entries, fans have enjoyed the terrifying tones of Akira Yamaoka. However, the shock that everyone felt when it was announced that he would not be returning to compose this entry was felt far and wide. Upon the announcement that Dexter composer Daniel Licht was stepping in, there was a tentative sigh of release. After all, here was a man who had worked in horror for years, tackling Hellraiser, Children of the Corn, and many other beloved entries. But does the Silent Hill: Downpour OST do this series justice, especially after everything that Yamaoka has done?

Hear Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s Song For Batman: Arkham City

RollingStone.com has an exclusive stream of the new track Shadow On The Run from Black Rebel Motorcyle Club, which is the track they recorded for the upcoming soundtrack to Batman: Arkham City. The song is slow, atmospheric, brooding, and kinda sexy, much like the Dark Knight himself. You can stream it by clicking here.
Bassist Robert Been: “The developers of the game contacted us to see if we were interested in the project. We’ve never worked with video game developers before and figured it would be a different kind of challenge.”
“We did it pretty fast,” Been explains. “We built it in pieces, brick by brick, like three little pigs trying to avoid being sweet-talked by the big bad wolf.” 
The OST for Batman: Arkham City features 12 brand new tracks from various artists. Check after the jump for the full list.
