Different sound with a similar feel...

"After creating soundtracks to movies that don't exist for the last 10+ years, we actually have a picture to go along with the music this time around.



Since Midnight Syndicate has been able to create their own visions and storylines to set their music to up until this point, I awaited the release of The Rage soundtrack with a bit of cautious anticipation. This was a slightly different ball game and I didn't know what to expect from a soundtrack written for another person's story.



To set the record straight, I never doubted that it would sound great. With more than several "unofficial" soundtracks under their belt, I knew these guys knew how to write horror music. I just wondered how much their style would change when composing for an actual motion picture... especially one that they had not created themselves.



My "fears" were laid to rest as soon as I heard the "Theme from The Rage". I knew I was in familiar territory here. Then came "Injecting the Formula" which kicked it up more than a notch. This is an intense piece quite different from previous Midnight Syndicate offerings, but terrific nonetheless. Then there's "Dr. V's Theme" which sounds like it could have come right from any of their past albums.



While the CD overall actually sounds like a movie score (rightfully so) and a bit different from their previous CDs, most of the music still has that "Midnight Syndicate" feel to it, and that's my favorite part of it. I'll proudly play it with the rest of MS CDs."

Another amazing piece of work from the midnight syndicate

"Mad doctors and gore! ...need I say more? in case you have been living under a rock, or you have not been following the reports of this movie... well the midnight syndicate has done the soundtrack for this movie, The Rage, which has been getting very good reviews from horror sites and critics. I was very glad to hear that the Midnight Syndicate was doing the soundtrack to the movie since I always feel that their music would make a really good soundtrack (in other reviews I have actually mentioned that I use their music as a soundtrack while reading or writing).



These guys are very talented at what they do; I hope that if this is your first encounter with the Midnight Syndicate you will look into more of their work, you will not be disappointed.
