“We are label focused on vinyl productions and this soundtrack is no different in that way,” enthuses label owner and Seattle resident Jeff Davis. “I've always been inspired by really good soundtracks, like Pulp Fiction and Clockwork Orange. We think fans of the movie will want these as collector items.”
In August Tsurumi Records will release a limited edition "Fangoria - The Revenant" box set. It will feature a 1"x3" brass plate riveted to the lid of a classy black box numbered 1 through 50. The box will include the full vinyl package, a printed copy of the script signed by director Kerry Prior, an 8x10 movie still, a booklet with Fangoria's review of The Revenant and their 2 part interview with Kerry Prior, a T-Shirt and a few more surprises. The box set will be available for purchase exclusively tsurumirecords for $75.
The Revenant soundtrack features music from Tsurumi acts like garage punks The Beautiful Mothers and experimental rockers The Second Academy, international acts Aqualush and La Mala Rodriguez, classical music from two companies and even an appearance from seminal underground sensation The Shaggies.
Three years ago Davis' good friend and independent film maker Kerry Prior, approached him about collaborating on a soundtrack for The Revenant; a modern take on a classic horror story, which he wrote, directed and produced.
The childhood friends grew up together in Cleveland, OH listening to and playing punk rock.
The Revenant began its film festival run with a premier at the 2009 at Toronto's “After Dark” Fest, upon which they dubbed it one of the "10 Movies To See Before You Die." It later ran in theaters in 2012 and is now out on DVD. Reviews ranging from diverse sources such as The Newark Star-Ledger to DreadCentral.com declare it "sure to become a cult classic."
The film focuses on Second Lieutenant Bart Gregory (David Anders), who is killed under mysterious circumstances in Iraq only to find out that he didn't really die. Rather, he is undead: a zombie-vampire hybrid, known as the Revenant. Bart needs blood to hold back decomposition and he finds his way around his new state against the dark backdrop of downtown Los Angeles.
The Revenant appears to be moving towards that cult status with a solid underground and online fan base that is growing daily. Every cult classic needs a killer soundtrack and now fans of The Revenant won't have to wait any longer.

in the CVR blog mailbox, a great kickstarter campaign!
A documentary about the best soul singer you’ve ever heard–even if you've never heard of him.
In the documentary Syl Johnson: Any Way The Wind Blows, we invite you into the world of a man who might be the best soul singer you’ve never heard of. But you have heard his music already, even though you might not realize it.
Syl Johnson’s songs have been sampled so many times in the last 25 years that he’s practically had more radio presence than Lil Wayne. When you hear artists like Run-DMC, Public Enemy, De La Soul, Boogie Down Productions, Kid Rock and Cypress Hill, you hear Syl. He’s got so much money from licensing his samples that he calls his home “The House That Wu-Tang Built.”
