Emmy-winning Stranger Things composers Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein wrote original music
Yesterday (Wed, Sept 14th), Better Noise Films released their revenge-driven horror thriller The Retaliators in over one thousand cinemas across the globe. The film stars Michael Lombardi (FX’s Rescue Me, The Deuce) and Marc Menchaca (Ozark, Black Mirror), alongside featured appearances from a who’s-who of modern active rock chart-leading musicians including Mötley Crüe’s Tommy Lee, Five Finger Death Punch’s Ivan Moody and Zoltan Bathory and Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix, among others.
The above-mentioned musicians, and several top active rock acts including Ice Nine Kills, The Hu, Bad Wolves, Hyro The Hero and Asking Alexandria are featured on the film’s soundtrack out tomorrow (Sept 16th) on CD, LP, cassette and digitally via Better Noise Music. The soundtrack also includes a bonus track, “Cops Are Here,” from the film’s official score by Stranger Things Emmy-winning composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein. The video was directed by the film’s producer and lead Michael Lombardi.
Just as The Lost Boys and The Crow defined the late 80’s and ‘90s alt-rock scene respectively, The Retaliators is a powerful testament to a new hard rock generation. The soundtrack boasts music from 23x-platinum Mötley Crüe, 4x Platinum Papa Roach, 3x Platinum rockers Five Finger Death Punch, Platinum group Hollywood Undead, 3x GRAMMY nominated rock act Nothing More, 4x Gold single holders Asking Alexandria, and up-and-coming charting acts Ice Nine Kills, The Hu, Bad Wolves, Escape, The Fate, Cory Marks, Eva Under Fire, Classless Act and others.
