One Way Static Records has announced their upcoming vinyl soundtrack release for Umberto Lenzi's Cannibal Ferox (AKA Make Them Die Slowly). Now available for pre-order, we have details on the limited edition release, including the promise of artwork so offensive that they can't show it online.
"Cannibal Ferox is often described as one of horror filmdom's golden grails of soundtrack albums and holds it’s place between other contemporary classics like Cannibal Holocaust, The Beyond, Zombi 2,… Praised by composers and directors all over the world. Eli Roth described it as “powerful tribal, pounding stuff” and served as an inspiration when editing his new movie “The Green Inferno” (which is an homage to the Cannibal film genre).
Like many of the Italian cannibal films, the soundtrack is just as powerful and effective as the disturbing butchery. The use of funk guitar, bass, rock piano and synthesizer makes for a fun yet still powerful sound. It’s 70s recklessness with an 80s sensibility, perfect for a film that rides the line between two decades. Surprisingly funky and light-hearted, then again: there are cues which are genuinely mean and foreboding, serving as an essential piece that makes the film a pulse-pounding inferno of death.
One Way Static Records is now proud to announce the release of this historical motion picture soundtrack on vinyl and cassette. All packaged in deluxe editions with extensive liner notes. Also included are several bonus tracks making this effort the most complete and accurate presentation of the soundtrack to date."
The unrated special edition vinyl soundtrack is packaged in a deluxe gatefold old school tip-on jacket with a printed insert. They are available on "Jungle Camouflage Vinyl" and "Clear/Transparent Green Vinyl". The variants are inserted randomly and are limited to #500 copies each worldwide. They come sequentially foil numbered (2 series of /500). We've included artwork for the vinyl release below, but they can't show the final version of the limited unrated edition, as they claim they are "not legally allowed to show it."
The final artwork for the regular edition can be seen below, is pressed on classic black vinyl, and is limited to 1,000 copies. Both the special and regular editions include the complete soundtrack and four bonus tracks. Lastly, a cassette edition is available and limited to 300 copies.
