Search - Various Artists, Alec Empire, Atari Teenage Riot :: Threat

Kings Mob Productions brought together a diverse team of collaborators to build the thunderous, pulverizing score that complements THREAT's nihilistic vision. With this "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack," THREAT's writer-director Matt Pizzolo, score contributor Alec Empire, and score composer Queque have distilled the film's soundscape into the anthemic hardcore punk, twisted breakbeats, and guttural metalcore that drives THREAT's furious story. Empire's "Night Of Violence" sets the tone of the album (and the film): unbridled, unapologetic rage. Most of the songs featured on this soundtrack will already be seared in the minds of anyone who's seen the film, with blistering tracks like Atari Teenage Riot's "Start The Riot" and Terror's "Overcome" so potently incorporated in key moments of the story. Fans of Jim and Mekky's doomed love story will also appreciate the inclusion of memorable brooders "Drone" by Eyes Like Knives (whose Rebekka Takamizu plays Mekky in the film) and "heVn" by Queque. But it is the disturbingly appropriate finale of Atari Teenage Riot covering Sham69's seminal "Kids Are United" that truly demonstrates this album is not a corporate merchandising effort like so many soundtracks, but rather another level to the movie, passionately honed by the film's creators... enjoyable on its own but absolutely indispensable to any fan of the film.
