ADV Music Announces an October 5 Release for Lady Death: The Motion Picture Original Soundtrack
HOUSTON, September 10, 2004?ADV Music today announced a street date of October 5, 2004 for the soundtrack to Lady Death®: The Motion Picture, the first animated feature produced by the company?s original content division.
With triumphant music of war and tragically painful themes of love lost, listeners can follow this epic tale through music with the Lady Death® The Motion Picture original soundtrack. The CD features original music by composer Bill Brown from the soon to be released animated motion picture. Brown?s previous work includes scoring for many well known directors and producers, including Steven Spielberg, Oliver Stone, Clive Barker, Michael Crichton, Gus Van Sant and Michael Mann. Brown is the Director of Music for Soundelux Design Music Group, Hollywood, California and has composed and produced music for theatrical releases such as Any Given Sunday, Ali and Finding Forrester. Brown has also scored television films such as Scorcher and Trapped and interactive titles including Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six series, The Sum of All Fears, Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicle, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Command & Conquer: Generals and more. This made him a logical choice to pen the danse macabre that accompanies the adventures of the immortal avatar of Death herself.
The Story
A powerful story of innocence lost, savage betrayal and glorious rebirth, Lady Death begins in 15th Century Sweden, where Hope, the beautiful daughter of Matthias?a skilled mercenary who is in actuality Lucifer, the Lord of Lies?is accused of being the devil?s consort following a hellish incident witnessed by local villagers. Sentenced by the town priest to be burned at the stake, Hope is visited by the malevolent Pagan as she writhes in pain. Unable to think clearly, she accepts Lucifer?s offer of life in Hell over a hideously painful death? only to discover that there are far worse fates than dying.
Lucifer?s grand plan to corrupt a soul of pure innocence meets unanticipated resistance, as Hope rejects Lucifer's scheme and eventually finds herself transformed into the powerful warrior LADY DEATH, who challenges the Lord of Lies for control of Hell itself.
The advance trailer for the feature, as well as the latest production updates and an amazing character gallery, are now available for viewing at the official Lady Death website: www.ladydeathtmp.com.
