SCREAM 4 Soundtrack Preview - The Sounds, The Novocaines, Axel F!

Scream trilogy is Wes Craven's effective blending of music and horror to heighten the scares and the mood. Of course there's his genius use of John Carpenter's Halloween score in the party scene, but I'm also talking about the signature Red Right Hand tune from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds that is such an odd, kooky number that it fit the darkly comic atmosphere of Woodsboro perfectly. I think in the sequels it became Dewey's (David Arquette) signature theme, perfectly matching his B-movie cop qualities! I particularly remember Scream 3 having a kick-ass soundtrack too. The opening murder of Cotton Weary's girlfriend to the tune of Creed's What If started off a little obsession in me with the band, (also look out for "Is This The End?", a somber tune at the end of the soundtrack) but there's also songs from Slipknot, Incubus and System of a Down which fit my desire to listen to Kerrang at the time! So I was quite excited this week to be sent the soundtrack listing for the vastly approaching Scream 4 and I've been enjoying it as I've been working through my work this week. The soundtrack is released April 12th (and at an ridiculously high imported price of £25 on Amazon!), a couple of days before the film opens on the 15th and the soundtrack includes loud, head-bopping and lively tracks from The Sounds, The Novocaines, Idia Maria and The Chain Gang of 1974. And of course Axel F!! I just hope the absence of Red Right Hand isn't because the song is absent from the movie... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a48KMJ0EXp8
