Waxwork releasing Dario Argento’s Tenebrae score on vinyl

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

One of my favorite horror subgenres out there is the Italian Giallo. And one of my favorite horror directors out there is Mr. Dario Argento. So it should come as no surprise to any of you out there that I'm a massive fan of Argento's f*cking wild who-dun-it TENEBRAE. And speaking of the film with one of the best endings of all-time, today we've learned that Waxwork Records will be releasing the remastered, expanded score to Argento’s film on vinyl.

And while this film isn't exactly composed by Goblin, the music does come our way via three of the members of the classic band (Claudio Simonetti, Fabio Pignatelli, and Massimo Morante). You can check out all the artwork and details about the vinyl's release below and then make sure to hit us up and let us know how excited you are to own this film's score on vinyl in the comments below or on social media!

Rundown via Waxwork Records:

Waxwork Records is thrilled to present the complete soundtrack vinyl release of Dario Argento’s Tenebrae. Scored by three former members of GOBLIN in 1982 (Claudio Simonetti, Fabio Pignatelli, and Massimo Morante), the synth driven score makes it’s definitive and expanded vinyl debut. Waxwork is excited to offer the most comprehensive version of the soundtrack album on vinyl to one of the most important Giallo films ever made.

Unlike the soundtracks that Goblin had previously contributed to the films by Dario Argento, the music of Tenebrae incorporates heavy electronica and dance music blended with rock and disco elements for a unique hybrid of genre and composition style.
Extensive usage of early analog Roland, Oberheim, and Moog synthesizers and drum machines paired with electric bass, acoustic drums and piano were utilized by the wildly talented progressive rock trio to form a sonic template unlike anything offered before it.
The soundtrack has gone on to garner a wave of popularity by being re-released and remixed many times over.

Waxwork Records is proud to present the re-mastered, complete soundtrack pressed to 180 gram colored vinyl and housed in deluxe packaging featuring die-cut old style gatefold jackets, art by Nikita Kaun, printed inner sleeves, and more.
