Devil’s Business, The [coll] – [Death Waltz Recording Co]

lombard   12/10/2013   CD, Soundtrack

On the spooky, ethereal soundtrack for The Devil’s Business, composer Justin Greaves creates quite the atmosphere. With its mostly instrumental pieces, the soundtrack should satisfy fans of gloom, but also anyone desiring a contemplative musical journey. There are some subtle dour vocals (more like buried chants) on the Crippled Black Phoenix tracks and lush instrumentation throughout, with bits of piano, bass, and perhaps sea birds or a demonic crow foretelling imminent doom. As you might imagine from the description of the soundtrack, the 2011 film explores dark themes, as it centers around paid killers whose efforts are thwarted by black magic.
