Description
Melding both Lucio Fulci’s ZOMBI 2 and Ruggero Deodato’s CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST (hence the title), Girolami’s film pits an army of flesh-eating cannibals against members of the undead, with a group of nosey Americans caught in-between, to be feasted and experimented upon. Scoring this truly depraved opus is famed Italian composer Nico Fidenco, who finds the perfect balance between jazz-funk, oppressive electronics and soft-core vocals to give HOLOCAUST the soundtrack it needs.
Fidenco goes everywhere and anywhere for this score, with thumping bass that wouldn’t sound out of place at a rave and the best jazz-flute this side of Jethro Tull. Synthesiser lines drift through the score like a fog, ranging from melodic new wave to dissonant and foreboding, while haunting female vocals inject the music with a pseudo-porno feel. And of course, there’s the traditional tribal percussion, as well as a healthy dose of church organ - Fidenco isn’t afraid of going anywhere and as a result you have a truly unique and absolutely mental example of a zombie/cannibal film.
Single pocket jacket. 180gm double vinyl with booklet. The definitive version of this Italian splatter classic spread over 2 LPs and including 13 previously unheard cues.
Original cover art by Corlen Kruger,
Sleeve notes by star Ian McCulloch, Stephen Thrower & Fabio Bambini.
