Mutant, in partnership with Howe Records, is bringing the haunting score from David Cronenberg's latest technological nightmare The Shrouds to vinyl, and we've got an exclusive first look for you today.
Howard Shore's score for The Shrouds marks the 17th collaboration with body horror master Cronenberg, with the pair collaborating on Crash, Videodrome, Dead Ringers, History of Violence, to name but a few.
Hitting theaters nationwide on April 25 via Sideshow and Janus Films, The Shrouds stars Vincent Cassel, Diane Kruger, Guy Pearce and Sandrine Holt, and has been described as the body horror maestro's most personal film yet, while also tackling an ominous world of self-driving cars, data theft, and A.I. personal assistants:
In an eerie, deceptively placid near-future, a techno-entrepreneur named Karsh (Cassel) has developed a new software that will allow the bereaved to bear witness to the gradual decay of loved ones dead and buried in the earth. While Karsh is still reeling from the loss of his wife (Kruger) from cancer—and falling into a peculiar sexual relationship with his wife’s sister (also Kruger)—a spate of vandalized graves utilizing his “shroud” technology begins to put his enterprise at risk, leading him to uncover a potentially vast conspiracy.
Mutant describes Shore's score as “delicate but deceptive”, perfectly fitting for a film that balances the etherial and the dreadful.
Mutant's vinyl release of the score is pressed on 140gm Gravestone vinyl and is limited to 500 copies worldwide, going on sale at 9am PT/11am CT/12pm ET over at madebymutant.com. Check out a first look exclusively below at the vinyl's artwork by Mo Shafeek.
