Beyond
the cemetery gates the dead do not rest easily. An ancient Egyptian relic,
vampires, and the living dead lurk amongst its shadowy crypts. Midnight Syndicate
beckons you into the dark world that inspired a major motion picture...
The
Dead Matter : Cemetery Gates is the ultimate horror movie soundtrack. It is
symphonic, classic, dark and ambient, offering a layered sound which is creepy
and edgy but not clichéd. I have always enjoyed various Midnight Syndicate
releases, but I consider this to be their very best, thus far anyway ! This is
their first new original release since 13th Hour and it offers a further
development of their style, the symphonic and classical texture is polished and
refined and the atmosphere created is evocative indeed.
The combination of a range of different forms
from classical piano to choral renditions, injections of noise and occasional discordant
elements, ethereal voices to rock motifs and occasional bursts of traditional
horror fanfare make this an innovative and creative horror score.
It
is a soundtrack which you will want to listen to again and again, it is great
on a dark rainy night.
