Bastards of Horror (3/5/08)

Now, don’t get me wrong I enjoy music. But these days I don’t buy many Cd’s and I don’t check out many movie soundtracks unless they are a stand alone thing. I do own a few, but I do not usually go out of my way to get them these days. Well, after listening to the near perfect music to the motion picture “The Rage”, I might have to start looking to buy more sountracks. The music is done by ‘Midnight Syndicate’ that have been associated with several projects over the years but this might be their best work yet? The music is excellent, has a great horrifying feel to it, flows beautifully like the ‘Hellraiser’ movie soundtrack, and with every note you can visualize every scene from the film like a soundtrack should be, for example: John Carpenter’s “Halloween” or “Escape From New York” which has no need for words but lets the music tell the story. Midnight Syndicate’s soundtrack to “The Rage” does just that to near perfection. I give the soundtrack 3 1/2 out of four stars as now I will always be out on the look out for anything from ‘Midnight Syndicate’, especially soundtrack wise.
