Last week we spoke about the music of the sequels to The Crow (1994). We also spoke about the new crow film (The Crow (2024)), but we kind of cut it a little short because we didn't talk about the music of the new film. We do that this week before we dive headlong into the original soundtrack of the very first film in The Crow franchise.

Not sure I can find a way to fit "The Crow" into this little blurb about our new episode on The Crow. So please enjoy this episode where we talk about the music from the 1994 film The Crow

Another episode where we're taking direct inspiration from something that we mentioned in an early show, we've decided to do two whole bloody episodes on the music of The Crow film franchise.

In episode one we talk about the music from the very poor sequels to the original film: City of Angels and Salvation. Surprisingly, even though the movies themselves are fairly terrible, the soundtracks are actually really good! So we dedicate a bit of time to those two.

We also talk about the place of The Crow in the wider pop cultural landscape, wondering whether it really was as popular as we seem to remember it was (subcultures are weird) before we talk about the brand new reboot The Crow. Which is... well, it's certainly not the worst of The Crow films, but that's not a high bar to clear...

Usually, we like to space things out. You may have noticed that over the years, we'll do a metal album one week, then perhaps change it up with electro or something else. So, for us to do two post-hardcore/noise rock(ish) records so close together is a bit unheard of. But hey, what's the point of having a set of rules if you don't break them occasionally?

We've been doing this show for a ridiculously long time. Too long, some might say. In those six and a half years (give or take a few months), we've managed to rack up a decent amount of subscribers. For some of our longest-standing subscribers, we give them the opportunity to pick a record for us to cover. This week, Todd Khul chose Face of Collapse by the Dazzling Killmen.

We welcomed this choice, especially since it's a band Chris has also wanted to tackle for a while. So this week, we're diving deep into their short discography and offering some insights into their equally short career.
