I figured I'd put down a thread for Shinoda's work on the U.S. release of "The Raid: Redemption", re-titled from "The Raid" for this release. I don't know if this belongs here or in "Screening Room"; I mean for this thread to contain a discussion about the music specifically - or what we've heard of it so far, at least - but that'll invariably bleed into a discussion about the film as a whole, so have this thread moved if you see fit. The film comes out on March 22/23, depending on where you are. I think we're still waiting on information regarding the soundtrack's release. You can watch a trailer featuring one of Shinoda's tracks here: [YOUTUBE]7KJ0N7ik3yI[/YOUTUBE] That track, complete with vocals performed by Chino Moreno, can be heard streaming at the film's official site and is presumably titled "Razors Out". Also, here's a quick interview with Shinoda and Joe Trapanese, who collaborated with him on the music, from their recent appearance at SXSW. It's probably the latest interview with him regarding this film score that we have. They appear a third of the way in after a bit with the film's director, Gareth Evans: [YOUTUBE]40V6Voyga-A[/YOUTUBE] Shinoda's blog entries covering this project are filed under two tags: "The Raid" and "Film / Scoring"; obviously, a lot of what we know so far has come from there.
Lyrics for Razors Out (Incomplete) Closing in, I hear the voices Echoed voices Removed the frame you focused in As I began to You pretend to And I’ll pretend to pray From the top, to the end You’ve got your razors out To the end, ‘til you stop You cut the apart Closer now, can hear the voices Controlling, echoed voices You removed the frame you focused in As I began to You pretend to From the top, to the end You’ve got your razors out To the end, ‘til you stop You cut the apart Help me out here
Umm ... my best guesses regarding the lyrics: This will be one of two tracks on the soundtrack with vocals, by the way. Shinoda confirmed in this blog entry that another track will feature members of Get Busy Committee.
The score sounds awesome! Plus Razors Out is amazing, been listening to it for a while now. Also Get Busy Committee's song is pretty awesome too! Mike also said he might be putting some special edition stuff on his blog.
Just letting y'all know my opinion on it. ^^ I heard it when I saw The Raid: Redemption at SXSW in Austin, TX.
Yeah, it was really great! The movie - very violent, makes you cringe every time something violent happens and go "OHHH" haha at least that's how we were when we saw it. After the movie there was a Q&A that Gareth, Joe and Mike were a part of. I'm a fan of the movie and can't wait till the sequel!
lol. I made a mistake actually meant bad guyS but you could tell that from the trailers cuz there were loads of guys after him (regarding my other post I meant we clapped more than once), didn't ruin the ending actually..there was more to it than that, wish i could explain further but that would be really ruining it for you lol...sorry anyhow. I edited my post but doesn't work unless you edit yours.
Isn't it obvious he'd win? I mean, he's taken on at least 50 other people in the trailers alone. lol.
I've gotten so good at blind reading. Where I can literally read something like spoilers on accident and just barely skim it to realize they're spoilers without remembering anything that I actually read. Got lots of practice from the ATS release era
Retaining what I read in school is about as effective as building a yacht out of a sieve with me. Spoilers sink deep into my psyche and haunt my ever attentive moment while experiencing that which was spoiled. Lol
I'm weird to the point that I can practically blank out in school and still retain everything my teacher was speaking about at the same time. I'm also just always prepared to ignore spoilers so no worries in that department.
