Who Are Heilung?

At the Video Game Awards, fans were treated to a trailer for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II that’s coming exclusively to the new Xbox Series X console next holiday season. The game, a sequel to Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, depicts things are going to get darker for the game’s heroine as it looks like she’s bringing Hel (Norse goddess of the underworld as well as the name of the realm she rules) to the Norsemen. The one thing about the trailer that struck fans the most besides the graphics and imagery of the game, but the song used in the trailer. The song titled “In Maidjan” (translated “To Corrupt”) is quite hypnotic, and badass, just like the band that performed it, Heilung. I’m a fan of the band so it pleases me to finally be able to share with you the band that will be collaborating with Ninja Theory to make the soundtrack for the sequel to the game that I love.

Glenn Danzig Makes First Casting Announcement For New Vampire Movie

Glenn Danzig was on hand in Philidelphia during the screening of his highly-anticipated film Verotika. While there he made two huge announcements during the Q&A. The two reveals were that Final Destination and Idle Hands actor Devon Sawa is starring in Danzig’s vampire spaghetti western, Death Rider. The second tidbit is that the film is close to wrapping production. Can you say hell yeah? The rest of the cast is still being kept under wraps, though Danzig did tease that he may have a small part in the movie. He also told the audience that the entire cast will play vamps. Everybody in the vampire,” Danzig said. “So, you won’t have to wait around to see the vampire. They’re all fucking vampires!” We’ll keep you posted.

Not only will rocker/actor Marilyn Manson be starring in the new adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Stand“, he’s also contributing to the soundtrack. His cover of The Door’s “The End” for the CBS All Access series has been released and it’s incredible. Listen. This is not the first cover Manson has rocked. He’s made his own versions of Tainted Love, Gerard McMahon‘s “Cry Little Sister” made famous by The Lost Boys film, and most recently “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” which was also covered by Johnny Cash and Elvis. Alexander Skarsgård, Whoopi Goldberg, Jovan Adepo, Marilyn Manson, Owen Teague, Heather Graham, Brad William Henke, Daniel Sunjata, James Marsden, Amber Heard, Nat Wolff, Eion Bailey, Odessa Young, Katherine McNamara, Henry Zaga, and Hamish Linklater star in the series.

Experience The Incredible World Of “Carnival Row” With New Original Soundtrack

There are so many fantastic things about Amazon’s “Carnival Row,” the story, the cast, the cinematography, and the soundtrack that lends so much drama to the series. Now, the soundtrack can be yours. Amazon Studios and Legendary Television have announced the release of Carnival Row (Original Soundtrack) featuring a score by Emmy Award nominee Nathan Barr (True Blood, The Americans, The House with a Clock in its Walls) and two original songs by German musician Patty Gurdy. The soundtrack featuring music from Season One of the hit neo-Victorian fantasy television series is now available in digital stores and on streaming platforms. Getting to explore the world of Carnival Row as a composer is among my most exciting musical adventures to date,” said Barr. “At its core, the score is heavily thematic and explores themes of identity, love, loss and magic in a fantastical world from the past. Sometimes choral, sometimes orchestral, the music also plugs into the steam punk world

Slayer Teams Up With BJ McDonnell For Brutal Film ‘Slayer: The Repentless Killogy’

Filmmaker BJ McDonnell (Hatchet III) is bringing horror and Metal to life with Slayer: The Repentless Killogy. Featuring a skull-crushing soundtrack by metal legends Slayer, the film will screen world-wide at theaters for one-night-only this November, from Trafalgar Releasing. But wait, that’s not all, immediately following Slayer: The Repentless Killogy, fans will be able to watch the entire Slayer concert filmed at their August 5, 2017 concert in Los Angeles as well as a cinema-exclusive welcome from the band captured during the South American leg of their Final World Tour. As one cohesive story built around the music videos for “You Against You,” “Repentless” and “Pride in Prejudice” (all from Slayer’s final studio album, Repentless), the film is an ode to the heavy metal brutality that Slayer has come to represent in the music world. This badass and bloody short film stars Jason Trost (Beats of Rage), Danny Trejo (Machete, From Dusk Til Dawn), Richard Speight (Band of Brothers, Supernatural),

Music Review: Kælan Mikla (2019)

Do you like the feeling of having a vivid nightmare poured into your eerie earholes? You bet your ass you do! And, there’s no better band out there to make that a reality than Icelandic darkwave geniuses Kælan Mikla. Comprised of eight tracks, Kælan Mikla’s eponymous U.S. debut (released through MVD Entertainment and Toronto-based Artoffact Records) is filled with haunting melodies, ethereal vocals (though they can posses downright punk rock power when it’s required), and ambient soundscapes a plenty; but their main bread and butter sounds as if Gary Numan composed a rock opera around Dracula… doesn’t get better than that cats n’ creeps, believe you me! All horrific hyperbole aside; this is some serious marvelously moody music, and the heady blend of Laufey Soffía Þórsdóttir on vocals, Sólveig Matthildur Kristjánsdóttir on synths and percussion, and Margrét Rósa Dóru-Harrysdóttir on bass is absolutely irresistible and essential autumnal listening (or for when you are trying to conjure autumn in your fevered

Marilyn Manson Joins The Cast Of “American Gods”

Rocker Marilyn Manson has joined the beautiful people that make up the cast of Starz’s “American Gods” for the series’ third season, Deadline reports. Manson will play the blood-thirsty character Johan Wengren, a berserker and the lead singer of the Viking death metal band Blood Death. Engren and Blood Death are a source of power for Mr. Wednesday aka Odin (Ian McShane) during the upcoming war between the old gods and the new gods. Kind of great fit isn’t it? This won’t be Manson’s first role on the small screen. He has had roles on both “Salem” and the biker drama “Sons of Anarchy.” Season three of “American Gods” will premiere some time in 2020. Manson will be featured in a four-episode arc.

‘We Happy Few’ DLC ‘Lightbearer’ Is A Trippy Must!

Gearbox Software and Compulsion Games in recent months released a Season Pass for their dystopian psychedelic mod game, We Happy Few. Gearbox was kind enough to share with me the season pass so I can experience one of three DLCs, this one in particular titled Lightbearer that follows a rock icon of the fictional English Island-state of Wellington, Nick Lightbearer. Lightbearer appears in the main game for a short time but images of him are everywhere. In the Lightbearer DLC, it becomes obvious that there are two kinds of people in Wellington, those who still like Nick Lightbearer, and those who despise him. Nick’s star is quickly fading as all the sex, and drugs are killing his rock and roll life. Nick is troubled not only by the fact that he’s burning out but that there’s a series of murders taking place around the hotel he’s staying at, and he’s linked to them! Not onto the game. Nick, being a
