Better known as a starkly horrific paint artist, a member of Nightmares, Deathpile and Angel of Decay, Jonathan Canady is a man obviously known for his dark affiliations. Even though his recent ‘lighter’ Diamond Cult project may have shown his relatively more melodic/friendlier side, his malevolence rears its head once again with this movie soundtrack. Judging by the online trailer for the independent movie in question, Canady was the right man for the job – the movie being a very brutal piece of ‘blood horror’. The music is a sickly thick hybrid of organic and synth sounds, “The Mind”’s 30 parts working as either a huge fractured piece or as tiny shocks of twisted black thoughts. Mixing up splatterskull shots of John Carpenter melodic patterns, the shock of dynamics and a living metallic (and menacing) tone, this is distressing enough a ride even without the visuals. It’s all coming from a very unsettling mental space, the electronics grinding, slithering and winding itself around the listener’s head like thoughts that can’t be controlled. Unlike a good many soundtrack releases, the titles give little away about the actual narrative arcs of the film – though it’s already clear that’s its going to be an odd, violent ride. 7/10 -- Scott McKeating (7 April, 2010)
