Coming very soon via Mondo/Death Waltz will be the vinyl release of Cannibal Holocaust, which was composed by Riz Ortolani. This release marks the first time that the soundtrack will be available on vinyl. It will feature art by Jock and be released on a stunning “Green Inferno” variant.
Death Waltz/Mondo label manager Spencer Hickman states:
One thing that always stuck out like a sore thumb when viewing Cannibal Holocaust was Riz Ortolani’s score, which is beautifully composed, and recorded, offering a mix of traditional orchestration and early synth work. As a stand alone piece of music it’s staggering and I honestly think that if Cannibal Holocaust had a more traditional horror score it would be even more uncomfortable to sit through. As it stands, Maestro Ortolani’s score offers some respite from the violence onscreen and the juxtaposition between the sights onscreen and musical soundtrack have in my opinion never been bettered.
To tease the upcoming release, three tracks from the soundtrack have been made available for streaming, which you can listen to below.
Mondo will also be hosting an “Anti-Valentine’s Day” feast during a screening of the film. More details on that can be found here.
