Twisted Music Video Of The Week Vol. 71: Data Romance “Can’t Keep Your Mind Off”

It’s Friday and I’m feeling pretty relaxed as I plan on entering this weekend and put up my feet and do nothing! However, if you think that means I’m gong to slack on bringing you a Twisted Music Video Of The Week, you’ve got another thing coming! I’m just gonna mix my relaxation with my love of horror.

Today I bring you Data Romance‘s “Can’t Keep Your Mind Off”, which blends a mellow, cheery, and quite pretty song with the visuals of a sadistic, conniving, murderous woman intent on getting what she wants. Perhaps this might not have been the best video to show before Valentine’s Day. Hmm…

The song comes from their upcoming album Other, which comes out Feb. 19th (pre-order on iTunes). Give it a watch below! READ MORE

I’m loving this cover art because if you look closely, you can see Isaac’s eyes. Also, the font at the bottom reminds me of Bioshock (always a good thing). READ MORE

Have Some Metallica With Your Christmas Cheer!

By ‘The Call of Ktulu, is it Christmas time already?! Well, I guess ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’, ‘Nothing Else Matters’, as long as you’re not ‘The Unforgiven’! No one wants to be the ‘Master of Puppets’ without a ‘Battery’, because then you think, “‘Wherever I May Roam’, I can never find ‘One’”! But none of that matters, because it’s always nice to hear the family saying “‘Welcome Home’!” and then staying up late, telling Christmas stories to the kiddies as the fire ‘Fades To Black’.

The Voice Of Horror: Resident Evil

It’s been a bit since the last issue of The Voice Of Horror but I’m bringing it back with a series that is pretty near and dear to my heart: Resident Evil. I remember reading the articles in Game Informer about Resident Evil on the Playstation and begging my parents to get me one so I could get the game and explore this terrifying mansion. Alas, it was not meant to be and I was only able to start enjoying the series by staying over at a friend’s house and playing RE2 (Leon mission first, of course). But one thing that I always enjoyed about the RE series was the music and the sound. Hell, I was walking around middle school playing the RE2 OST in my discman (you can easily tell I was not one of the popular kids). So join me in venturing into Arklay, Racoon City and beyond in this edition of The Voice Of Horror.

Jason Graves Speaks About Dead Space 2 Music

Jason Graves has been officially announced as the composer of EA’s upcoming Dead Space 2, the sequel to the 2008 smash hit Dead Space. An interesting bit of news that has come out is that Graves has composed a central piece entitled ‘Lacrimosa’, a concerto written for a string quartet that runs throughout the game. I have to say, that alone intrigues me. 

Jason Graves, Composer-
“The score really runs the gamut as you play through the game. There are much bigger and scarier pieces along with quieter, more personal moments to counterbalance them.  I wrote for string quartet to portray Isaac’s vulnerable side.  It’s quite the emotional arc, but of course still done in a very ‘Dead Space’ way.”
Andrew Boyd, Audio Director (exclusive interview here)-
“It has been a real pleasure working with Jason on Dead Space 2. The range of his composition is impressive, and his attention to detail never fails to amaze me.  His creativity, energy, and unique vision for the music has been key to establishing the atmosphere of Dead Space 2.”

Album Review: Night Of The Living Heads OST Plus FREE DOWNLOAD

So, I don’t smoke weed anymore, but back when I did, I would get pretty blazed. No, scratch that. I would get TORN UP! I’m talking unable to move, everything was chill and I could barely see three feet in front of me due to the amount of smoke. Yeah, it was good times. So even though I’ve quite pot, I still remember the times and the experiences associated with it. This was the approach I took in reviewing the soundtrack to ‘Night of the Living Heads’ (NOTLH).
