Hellraiser

Icepick is the super-power trio of some of the busiest musicians on this planet – American, Brooklyn-based trumpeter Nate Wooley, Norwegian, Austin-based bass player Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, and American, Upstate New York-based drummer Chris Corsano. «Hellraiser» is already the third album of this trio and was recorded live in February 2018, on the occasion of a gathering supporting the Option series at Experimental Sound Studios (ESS) in Chicago. Originally, this performance was slated for another Wooley-led group, and only last-minute travel issues led to the rare occasion where all three members of Icepick happened to be free for the date in Chicago. The ESS continues to host and facilitate online Quarantine Concert Series even in this coronavirus lockdown era, reminding all of us what we used to celebrate not so long ago.

El infierno vivo se encuentra con los muertos de la noche.
Ha sido predicho en la gélida malevolencia de las estrellas. Un sumo sacerdote diabólico que reza por la guerra, una guerra que se libra en nombre del frío altar de lo infernal.
Un mesías no muerto y su monstruoso rebaño se preparan para una batalla por lo que queda de sus almas. Dos cultos oscuros, que se enfrentan en una cruzada impía a la que sólo sobrevivirá un bando. . .

Arriving October 7 is the forthcoming soundtrack to Hellraiser, featuring score by Ben Lovett! The new horror film directed by David Bruckner (The Night House, The Ritual, Southbound, The Signal) will make its debut on Hulu in tandem with the soundtrack release.

With a background as a jazz instrumentalist, Christopher Young often incorporates elements of rock, jazz, and especially electronic music into his dynamic orchestral film scores. After emerging on low-budget thrillers and horror films in the early '80s, his scores for A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985) and Hellraiser (1987) led to steady work on horror, thriller, and sci-fi films throughout the '90s. Along the way, he also composed music for movies such as John Dahl's drama Rounders (1998) and the boxing biopic The Hurricane (1999). The 2000s brought work for directors ranging from Lasse Hallström and Curtis Hanson to Sam Raimi, including Raimi's Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007). Young's projects in the 2010s included The Monkey King (2014) and The Monkey King 2 (2016) for Hong Kong director Cheang Pou-soi.

Lakeshore Records will be releasing the 30th Anniversary Hellraiser score just before Halloween on 10/6. Christopher Young‘s long out of print score has been remixed and remastered from the Original 24 Track, 2 Inch Analog Master Session Tapes. The Single LP Gatefold Release also includes digitally restored original artwork and photography from the film’s archives. Furthermore, the 4-color printed disc sleeve features the long lost original theatrical sales sheet.
