Herederos De La Bestia (Original Soundtrack)

Limited ten inch vinyl pressing. OWS proudly presents the original soundtrack to Herederos de la Bestia composed and performed by Buio Mondo. Herederos de la Bestia is a documentary film about Alex de la Iglesia's classic 1995 apocalypse-horror story El Dia de la Bestia (The Day Of The Beast). More than two decades after it's premiere, the movie continues to be the great go-to example if you want to mix the most brutal fantastic with the Spanish tradition of the grotesque. Comprised of equal parts high-concept horror and scathing social satire (in the mode of the director's peer and former collaborator Pedro Almodovar), this ambitious horror film has garnered a sizable cult following. It's just impossible to imagine present-day Spanish cinema without it. Herederos de la Bestia interviews the crew responsible for Alex de la Iglesia's masterpiece and assesses it's still relevant influence. It's no surprise that the makers turned to the Spanish outfit Buio Mondo to underscore their hard work. Buio Mondo is a project that pays tribute to the giallo and the slasher genres and is best known for their previous (and very successful) album Italia Violenta. Mixing wild metal riffs, powerful electronics and dark brooding Carpenter-esque synth atmospheres results in a nightmarish soundscape that will haunt you in your dreams.
