If it was up to me (and clearly it isn’t), I’d dispense with the usual orchestral score for Elric: The Movie and compile a soundtrack from modern sources – maybe commission music from a few contemporary artists. IMHO some black metal would go down well – by turns it’s visceral, atmospheric, brutal and epic. Perfect for Elric’s more frenzied moments with Stormbringer, or super-natural encounters with Arioch etc.
Anyway, if I was compiling the Elric soundtrack album I’d want to include:
Hawkwind: Arioch
Depeche Mode: PIMPF (listen to it and you’ll see what I mean)
Bathory: Blood and Iron
Enslaved: The Battle of Lindesfarne
Primordial: Glorious Dawn
Enslaved: Violet Dawning
Gorgoroth: Teeth Grinding
1349: Singer of Strange Songs
Tsjuder: Mouth of Madness
Marduk: Perish in Flames
1349: Internal Winter
Immortal: Blizzard Beasts
Sunno))): Decay2 [NIHILS' MAW]
Okay - now shoot me down in flames. More thoughts on related stuff at my website: http://www.ipssissimus.com
