hardcore bands such as Walls of Jericho ("The Prey"),
Bleeding Thru ("Death Anxiety"), Ministry ("Let’s Go"),
and Revolting Cocks ("Keys to the City"), among others.
8 Themes To Die For will contain
songs and scores from the feature films in Horrorfest
III; this year’s lineup includes: THE BROKEN, AUTOSPY,
DYING BREED, BUTTERFLY EFFECT 3, FROM WITHIN, SLAUGHTER,
VOICES, and PERKINS’ 14.
Primary Wave’s Jonathan Platt and Jonathan Miller, the
team that produced the successful Saw
soundtracks, selected the songs on both 8 Songs To
Die For and 8 Themes To Die For.
"Primary Wave Special Markets is thrilled to be
releasing a musical companion inspired by Horrorfest,”
