The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Game Soundtrack Getting Vinyl Release
The chilling music from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game is being celebrated by Waxwork Records.
Tobe Hooper's 1974 film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a seminal entry in the world of horror, lauded for a number of reasons, and in one of the more chilling directorial decisions, he embraced a more minimal sonic landscape than the genre typically showcases. For the adaptation of the movie into The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game, musician Ross Tregenza had to find ways to honor the source material while also putting his own stamp on the experience to unnerve and frighten players. Waxwork Records has announced that The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Original Game Soundtrack by Ross Tregenza and Remains Additional Game Music by Wes Keltner and Jim Bonney are now available for purchase and are expected to ship on August 18th.
Waxwork Records describes the release, "From Gun Interactive, creators of the global hit Friday the 13th The Game, comes a terrifying follow-up that has been developed by horror fans for horror fans. Take on the role of one of the notorious Slaughter family, or their victims, in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a third-person asymmetrical horror experience based on the groundbreaking and iconic 1974 horror film. Experience the mad and macabre for yourself in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
"This very special double album bundle features the complete video game soundtrack music to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre pressed to 'Chain Saw Motor Green & Rust' colored vinyl, housed in deluxe heavyweight gatefold packaging with matte satin coating, composer liner notes, and all new artwork. The composers of the game music all have a dedicated love for the original 1974 film. Recordings of sheet metal, spoons, tuning forks, furniture, and the instrument, the Apprehension Engine, were mangled, manipulated, and ran through several vintage reverbs, distortions, tape delays, and other effects to create a haunting, sonic cacophony that envelopes the listener and transports them directly to a killing floor in the sweltering Texas summer heat."
