Even if you've seen 1925's classic silent film The Phantom of the Opera countless times, you've likely never seen Lon Chaney haunt the Paris Opera House to a horn-heavy, rock-infused backdrop. From the Belgium-based One Way Static Records and available now for pre-order comes a re-score soundtrack to Rupert Julian's highly-regarded adaptation of the novel of obsessive and lethal love by Gaston Leroux.

Performed by The Laze, this new soundtrack to The Phantom of the Opera will hit shelves on August 12th in a wide variety of formats: vinyl, cassette, compact disc, and digital. This release features retro artwork showcasing Lon Chaney as the disfigured, passionate Phantom. The non-digital versions of this soundtrack are limited in number, ranging from 300 to 1,000 copies depending on the format. One Way Static Records is releasing The Laze's re-score soundtrack through both a European and a North American distributor.
