MMS09017 • THE DEVIL'S TOMB
Music Composed by Bill Brown
Released on July 14, 2009 • CD / download

Bill Brown, a composer who is best known for his prolific output in video games (Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Undying, Command & Conquer: Generals etc), has written a dark and exciting orchestral score for Jason Connery's action thriller The Devil's Tomb, starring Cuba Gooding Jr, Ray Winstone and Ron Perlman. With the orchestral parts recorded in Prague, the music also also incorporates choral elements, pounding rhythm programming and atmosepheric eletronics. Providing a rich canvas for the composer, the film called for dark and ambient orchestral textures, driving action ostinatos and mysterious, quasi-religious material. The film was released on DVD on May 26.

MMS09016 • I SELL THE DEAD
Music Composed by Jeff Grace
Released on August 4, 2009 • CD / download

One of MovieScore Media's favorite composers, Jeff Grace, is back with another great score for producer Larry Fessenden: I Sell the Dead. Grace, who is best known for his avant garde string quartet works (The Last Winter, The Roost, Joshua), utilizes larger forces than usual in I Sell the Dead. "The film moves with a darting confidence and it literally soars via the evocative and aggressive score by Jeff Grace," wrote Hammer to Nail in their review of the film - and the music certainly has its "violent" moments (as should any Jeff Grace horror score), but it also reflects the tongue-in-cheek qualities of the film with great flair. Soundtrack aficionados will certainly enjoy its Herrmannesque qualities and inspired orchestrations. I Sell the Dead, an acclaimed horror comedy, stars Ron Perlman and Dominic Monaghan. MovieScore Media's score album will be released just before the theatrical release of the film in the US on August 14.
