This Friday, IFC Midnight will unleash the heavy metal horror of Sean Byrne's The Devil's Candy in select theaters and on VOD, and to celebrate, Mondo and Death Waltz will release Michael Yezerski's intense score digitally, followed by a vinyl release this May.
From Mondo and Death Waltz: "The Devil’s Candy - Original Motion Picture Score. Composed by Michael Yezerski. Original artwork by Matt Ryan Tobin. Available digitally on Bandcamp / iTunes & Spotify this Friday (3/17).
THE DEVIL'S CANDY is a heavy metal horror film from director Sean Byrne who made THE LOVED ONES a few years back (if you missed that, go seek it out right now. It’s TEXAS CHAINSAW meets PRETTY IN PINK, and is all kinds of awesome). But unlike the cheesy hair metal horror movies of the '80s, this is completely grounded in real life throwbacks to the satanic panic period of American History; it’s scary, full of incredible visuals, and features great performances from folks you actually care about. And lets talk about that score…
Written and performed by Michael Yezerski, it features super brutal in-your-face shredding of guitars and industrial clanging tonal nightmares. It is a true horror score; it isn’t pretty and it is meant to be listened to LOUD. It will test your speakers at any level. The soundtrack will be available digitally on Bandcamp / iTunes & Spotify this Friday (3/17), with a vinyl version in production dropping the first week of May."

Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
