August
16, 2013 (Cleveland, OH) – Symphonic gothic horror musicians MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE
have just released the AXE GIANT THE WRATH OF PAUL BUNYAN: ORIGINAL MOTION
PICTURE SOUNDTRACK. The album, produced by Midnight Syndicate, features
highlights from the movie score composed by EDWARD DOUGLAS along with The
Ballad of Paul Bunyan
performed by HICK’RY HAWKINS.
“From a simple flourish of strings to behemoth bass horns on the
rampage, the score is everything I hoped it would be and more,” said director
and co-writer Gary Jones. “The perfect marriage of sight and sound, Ed’s
music carries our film into that cool, cool realm of which filmmakers only
dream.”
“Gary
wanted the film to have a feel similar to classic monster movies like King
Kong. I
found myself trying to channel my inner (Max) Steiner and (Bernard) Herrmann,
in an effort to achieve that big, dramatic, classical sound,” said composer
Edward Douglas. “The monster in the film is American folklore legend,
Paul Bunyan, so it gave me the opportunity to work with some 19th
century American instrumentation as well. I think the result is a
soundtrack that will sound both familiar and at times very different from what
Midnight Syndicate has done to this point.”
The
CD is available now through the band’s website, as well as iTunes and Amazon.com.
