Milan Records To Release Digitally Re-Mastered Soundtracks For ‘The Third Man’ And ‘Vertigo’
Milan Records will be releasing digitally remastered editions of classic film soundtracks, including Anton Karas’s score for Orson Welles’ The Third Man as well as Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, composed by the fantastic Bernard Herrmann. The Third Man will be released Feb. 25th while Vertigo will come out Mar. 11th.
Check below for more information.
Per the official press release: “The pioneering original musical score, composed by Viennese musician Anton Karas, was only performed on the zither, the harrowing sound perfectly complementing this dark classic.”
Per the official press release: “Composed by Bernard Herrmann in little over a month in 1958, this hauntingly beautiful soundtrack accentuates Hitchcock’s tale of destiny and unreality. In an interview discussing the best music in film, Martin Scorsese said “Hitchcock’s film is about obsession, which means that it’s about circling back to the same moment, again and again… and the music is also built around spirals and circles, fulfilment and despair. Hermann really understood what Hitchcock was going for – he wanted to penetrate to the heart of obsession.” The original recordings for the soundtrack were actually performed in London and Vienna by Muir Mathieson, a musician’s strike prevented them from being conducted by Hermann in Los Angeles. With the score playing such a strong role in the building the suspense and anticipation that is key to the film’s climatic ending, this is a must have for all Hitchcock fans.”

[Listen] Andrew W.K. Brings the Metal With “Everybody Sins”; King Woman Gets Biblical With “Boghz”
I’m going to cram the new King Woman record down your throat because, well, it’s an album of the year contender. Celestial Blues, out July 30th via Relapse Records, is quite simply perfection.
Singer Kristina Esfandiari turns in an epic concept album that spins the epic poem “Paradise Lost” on its head. Debut track “Morning Star” is a god damn near-masterpiece and the blood-soaked Bathory-inspired madness of “Psychic Wound” gave us a taste of just how intense the forthcoming release can get.
King Woman continues to deliver the goods, offering up yet another banger, “Boghz”, a continuation of “Morning Star” and the story of the fallen angel. Here’s the kicker: there are even better tracks on the album.
“It’s a tragic story about one ancient soul split in two separate bodies. Only knowing a sick and twisted version of love, one half nearly destroys the other,” explains Esfandiari. “It’s about being at the mercy of a sadistic person who you have an undeniable psychic bond with.”

And then there’s Andrew W.K., who has also just released his third single off God Is Partying, out September 10, 2021, through Napalm Records. Pre-order the album here.
Today, following the respective unveilings of his two bombastic new singles “Babalon” and “I’m In Heaven”, the one and only party-rock icon is back with another rager, this time in the form of the triumphant and metallic, “Everybody Sins”. The hard-charging track soars as a certified future hit with its divine harmonic attack juxtaposed with monster guitar riffs and undeniable vocal melodies.
”When we started working on the video for ‘Everybody Sins’, the director and I were scheming and straining over some of the choreography and camera moves,” said Andrew W.K. in a statement. “Now, I do realize some people will say life’s too short to scheme and strain like this. And others will say life’s too short NOT to scheme and strain. Still, other people will say both these approaches are incorrect. And what do I say? Everything I just said in the video for ‘Everybody Sins’.”
