Taste The Devil’s Candy Soundtrack on March 17th
IFC Midnight is releasing The Devil’s Candy (review) later this week, and along with it, you’ll be able to check out the soundtrack with music from and inspired by the heavy metal-charged horror film. If heavy metal is your music of choice, then read on for the details!
From the Press Release:
On March 17th, in tandem with the release of Sean Byrne’s new horror film The Devil’s Candy, J2 Music/INgrooves will release the digital soundtrack companion piece for a film that has already garnered praise from critics and a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Devil’s Candy Motion Picture Soundtrack features performances from an all-star metal lineup that includes such notable bands as experimental metal legends Sunn O))) and thrash titans Slayer. Machine Head, Ghost, PJ Harvey, and others round out this brutal soundtrack.
The film’s director, Sean Byrne (The Loved Ones), had this to say about the soundtrack: “The Devil’s Candy Soundtrack takes the listener on a gradual descent from foot-stomping joy to the deepest darkness. Please play it LOUD.”
The Devil’s Candy (Snoot Entertainment) will see a limited theatrical and VOD release via IFC Films’ horror and sci-fi imprint, IFC Midnight. The film, which stars Ethan Embry (Cheap Thrills) and Shiri Appleby (“UnREAL”), chronicles diehard metalhead and struggling artist Jesse, as he relocates with his wife and child into a house in Texas that has a particularly grisly past. Disturbing demonic goings-on culminate with the appearance of Ray (“The Walking Dead’s” Pruitt Taylor Vince). He’s the home’s former resident, and he’s here to do the Devil’s bidding.
The Guardian raved that the film was “made in the true spirit of metal: just like the music it’s inspired by, it’s loud and sometimes gruesome but also winningly earnest.”
The tracklist is as follows:
1. Sunn O))) – “Belürol Pusztít”
2. The Wanton Bishops – “Shake”
3. Spiderbait – “Conjunctivitis”
4. PJ Harvey – “The Devil”
5. Ghost – “From The Pinnacle To The Pit”
6. Goya – “Blackfire”
7. Slayer – “You Against You”
8. Machine Head – “Sail Into The Black”
9. Aurora Surgit – “Dies Irae (Sequentia)”
10. Sunn O))) – “Decay 2 (Nihils’ Maw)”
