Howlin’ Wolf Records Announces DEATHCEMBER – Soundtrack CD Features Music by Andrew Scott Bell & Others

Howlin’ Wolf Records is excited to present DEATHCEMBER, a holiday-themed horror anthology series soundtrack with an international ensemble of renowned composers, directors, and actors. The movie is a collection of 24 films that take a look at the dark side of the festive season. 24 international directors with the most diverse ideas and styles; linked by short animated segments that deal with the Advent calendar itself.

The film was released to the festival circuit through 2019-2021. Produced by Dominic Saxl, Ivo Scheloske, and Frank Vogt, DEATHCEMBER brings to life a feature-length advent calendar – each door a portal to terror and demented holiday fun. The DEATHCEMBER “Main Theme” and “Suite” are composed by award-winning composer Andrew Scott Bell, performed by the Budapest Scoring Orchestra with Péter Illényi conducting, featuring oboe soloist Judit Borzsonyi, and clarinet soloist Gyorgy Ree. The melodic and sweeping opening theme adds the perfect sense of enchantment and wonder for the advent season. In addition, Bell composes the transition suites that wind through the score like a snake in the guise of holiday ribbon. Segment scores are a brilliant mix of amazing international talent from Belgium, Canada, Germany, Serbia, UK, and USA, among others, more than 15 composers in total. The DEATHCEMBER soundtrack comes with a 32-page booklet with notes from many of the composers featured on the CD.

The CD includes 34 tracks and 78:47 minutes of Howlin’ Holiday Horror music. For more composer details and ordering information, see Howlin’ Wolf Records.

Holy Noel!
