All Hallows' II - Out Now

All Hallows’ II is now available via Bandcamp as digital download and limited edition cassette.

35 years ago investigative journalist Ellis Ledstone admitted himself as a patient to an alternative healthcare facility, The Shepard Institute Of Psionic Inquiry. 6 months later, police would break down its doors to discover the remains of a dozen patients in The Institute’s basement. Until now, the events leading up to that night have been largely withheld from the general public. For the first time ever we attempt to piece together that story. 

All Hallows’ II includes the unaltered case files of the events of 1983. The reader is encouraged to come to their own conclusions by examining the interviews, reports and artefacts within. 

All Hallows’ II is a full length soundtrack album by transatlantic synthesists Robin Ogden (OGRE) and Dallas Campbell. The sequel builds upon the previous instalment of All Hallows’: slasher synth chase sequences, atmospheres laden with powerful dread and eerie soundscapes score a true horror story, track by track, to thrilling and cinematic conclusions. All Hallows’ II is a conceptual narrative journey into cults and the occult, unfeeling cosmic horrors, and the unplumbed darkness of the human condition. 

The Chairman - Original Soundtrack

The original soundtrack to The Chairman, directed by Frank White IV. Now available via Bandcamp as Digital / Streaming and as Limited Edition Cassette from MEGATAPES.

Synopsis:

Unsanctioned by the board of directors at their powerful multinational, The Pantheon Group, Joy and her supervisor, Vincent, run an experiment on telepathic abilities. Katie, an unwilling research subject and powerful psychic antenna, prepares to silence the chaos in her head by drowning. Her father Miguel, held in a nearby warehouse, must intervene by contacting his daughter telepathically, or watch her drown via hidden cameras. When the experiment is ultimately interrupted by a call from corporate headquarters, Joy must return to the office and face her reclusive, unnatural employer, the Chairman. 

This Is The Police II

The original soundtrack to Weappy's This Is The Police II is now available via Bandcamp and Boss Battle Records. 

Synopsis:

A cold and harsh border town riven with violence, where no one is completely innocent. Smugglers, gangs, and screaming populists call this town their home. To maintain peace and order, the young sheriff Lilly Reed (Sarah Hamilton - The Longest Journey) will have to team up with fugitive criminal Jack Boyd (Jon St. John - Duke Nukem), and pray that her dangerous plan doesn’t spiral out of control. 

Interpret the law as you see fit in This Is the Police 2, sequel to the acclaimed noir drama This Is the Police. Run the sheriff’s department, manage your cops, investigate, interrogate, and incarcerate. Make tough decisions – and try to keep out of prison yourself! – in this story-driven mixture of adventure, strategy, and turn-based tactical combat.

Night Of The Living Dead - Original Motion Picture Rescore

A new score by synth masters OGRE and Dallas Campbell for the classic horror film, available now via Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon and all good digital outlets from Lakeshore Records.

Night of the Living Dead was directed by George A. Romero. Criticised at the time for its explicit gore, the film has since garnered critical acclaim for its sharp social commentary and for launching the popular genre of zombie horror. It has been selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry as a film deemed 'Culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant.'
