Lucas Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Tis the season Some of the greatest film soundtracks come from the horror side of things .. We're all familiar with the great John Carpenter HALLOWEEN themes, as the sounds and music have become so intertwined with the visual experience .. Sadly, like film itself, the art of the soundtrack has become buried in a cesspool of utterly generic garbage called Hollywood - the repetitive, tribal drumming and video game style soundtrack perfects suits the cookie cutter movies of today just fine, but the true, stylistic art of the composer and music has fallen into obscurity .. 1970s and 80s Italian horror was big on prog, and I'd be ecstatic if bands were this good these days ... Usually made on a shoestring budget in a matter of days, the horror soundtrack will, like some of the great character themes, live forever or rise from the dead ..

Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 That second one is actually brilliant! When did it come out? It's like some sick fusion of MP era Rush (the guitar solo, so Limelight) and early Muse but trying to sound 80s (in any case what I wish Muse sounded like right now). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EP, that's Dario Argento's "Phenomena" circa 1985 ... In addition to Goblin, Bill Wyman contributed some of the soundtrack .. It's really great stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
