August 15, 2005, LOS ANGELES -- On October 18, 2005 Immortal Records will release
the soundtrack to the highly anticipated Masters of Horror series, a 13
episode anthology directed by today's most renowned horror directors. The
specially-priced, extravagantly packaged, double disc CD will be comprised entirely of
brand new and previously unreleased material from over 25 of today's top rock,
metal, punk, and emo artists, including Mudvayne, Buckethead featuring Serj
Tankian of System of a Down, Thursday, Shadows Fall, Andrew WK, Norma Jean, and
more. The series will debut in October on Showtime, with IDT Entertainment,
Industry Entertainment and Nice Guy Productions producing. The soundtrack is
available for preorder at immortalrecords.com and will arrive one day before release date.
Masters of Horror will feature 13 new one-hour horror films from acclaimed
genre directors Dario Argento (Suspiria), John Carpenter (Halloween), Larry
Cohen (It's Alive), Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, Bubba Ho-tep), Joe Dante (The
Howling), Mick Garris (The Stand, Riding the Bullet), Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator),
Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist), John Landis (An American
Werewolf in London), William Malone (FearDotCom, House on Haunted Hill), Lucky
McKee (May), and Takashi Miike (Audition, Ichi The Killer).
The collaboration marks the first time these prominent directors have joined
forces, so it's only fitting that a comparable roster of bands was assembled
for the soundtrack. Confirmed to join the aforementioned contributing artists
are Rise Against, Matchbook Romance, From Autumn to Ashes, Armor for Sleep,
Everytime I Die, HopesFall, Fear Before the March of Flames, Bear vs. Shark, The
Bronx, It Dies Today, Choidos, A Change of Pace, Death by Stereo, Murder by
Death, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, The Bled, and Yesterday's Rising. The all-star
lineup boasts aggregate sales of over 15 million units. Additional bands and
track listings will be announced as they are confirmed.
Says series Executive Producer Garris of the important roll music plays in the
Masters of Horror series, "Horror is to cinema what rock n' roll is to
music: rebellious, transgressive, loud and abrasive. And the sound of horror is
every bit as important as the vision. Horror can be quiet and sneak up on you,
and just give you a chill. Or it can grab you by the throat and rip out your
trachea. We hope to embrace the full range on the Masters of Horror soundtrack."
Masters of Horror grew out of an informal bi-monthly dinner attended by many
of the horror genre's most highly regarded directors. Garris transformed their
collective desire to work together into reality, and will serve as the
showrunner for the series. The series was developed by Garris along with executive
producers Andrew Deane and Keith Addis, and is an IDT Entertainment production.
