RELEASED ACOUSTIC VERSION OF THEME SONG FOR 2022 HORROR-THRILLER
THE RETALIATORS (via BETTER NOISE FILMS)
“THE RETALIATORS THEME SONG (21 BULLETS) – ACOUSTIC”
FEATURING ASKING ALEXANDRIA, ICE NINE KILLS AND FROM ASHES TO NEW
Just in time for Halloween season, BETTER NOISE FILMS—the production company behind Netflix’s hit Mötley Crüe biopic The Dirt—have released their critically acclaimed 2022 revenge horror-thriller THE RETALIATORS overseas in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand on VOD/Digital. In conjunction with the new release, a new LYRIC VIDEO was released for the acoustic version of the film’s theme song, “The Retaliators Theme Song (21 Bullets)” which was written by Nikki Sixx and features ASKING ALEXANDRIA, ICE NINE KILLS and FROM ASHES TO NEW.
The original version of “THE RETALIATORS THEME SONG (21 BULLETS)” was included on the THE RETALIATORS ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK released via Better Noise Music in September 2022. The soundtrack encompasses a hard-hitting lineup of rock tracks from several of Better Noise Music’s roster, many of which also make on-screen appearances, including Tommy Lee (Mötley Crüe), Ivan Moody (Five Finger Death Punch), and Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach).
“Writing a new theme song for a horror flick was inspiring,” says Sixx. “This was my first time writing for a horror-thriller film, and it took me in a different direction from the first theme song I wrote – ‘The Dirt (1981)’ by Mötley Crüe. I worked with some great new artists to create a new sound that will stretch Mötley Crüe’s audience to new fans. I had a great time writing it, and I think our fans will love it too!”
“Like many classic horror and action films from the 80’s and 90’s, ‘The Retaliators’ having its very own theme song is a tradition I was thrilled to see get brought back,” shares THE RETALIATORS’ lead actor and producer Michael Lombardi (FX’s ‘Rescue Me,’ ‘The Deuce’). “Having such an epic soundtrack, filled with huge rock bands collaborating, will give audiences the nostalgic rush that is reminiscent to experiencing movies like ‘The Lost Boys,’ ‘The Crow’ and ‘Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors’!”
“A brutal and vivid punch to the gut, ‘The Retaliators’ is a rock song birthed onto screen and is sure to be a hit with fans of music and horror alike,” proclaims Hollywood News (8/30/21). THE RETALIATORS is based on the real-life story of an upstanding pastor who uncovers a dark and twisted underworld as he searches for answers surrounding his daughter’s brutal murder and stars Michael Lombardi (FX’s ‘Rescue Me,’ ‘The Deuce’), Marc Menchaca (‘Ozark,’ ‘Black Mirror’) and Joseph Gatt (“Game of Thrones”). THE RETALIATORS features cameos and music by Mötley Crüe’s Tommy Lee, Five Finger Death Punch’s Ivan Moody, Zoltan Bathory, and Chris Kael, Papa Roach, Jaya of The Hu, Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills, Eva Under Fire’s Amanda Lyberg, Matt Brandyberry, Danny Case, Lance Dowdle, and Matt Madiro of From Ashes to New, Cory Marks, and Dan Murphy and Miles Franco of All Good Things, anchored by an original score from Emmy-winning composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein renowned for their score work for Netflix’s series “Stranger Things.”

CROSSBONE SKULLY
LED BY MASTERMIND TOMMY HENRIKSEN OF ALICE COOPER’S BAND & MEMBER OF HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES
RELEASED REBELLIOUS NEW VIDEO
“THE BOOM WENT THE BOOM” A TRACK THAT FEAT. PHIL COLLEN OF DEF LEPPARD
RECORDED WITH LEGENDARY EXECUTIVE PRODUCER MUTT LANGE
CROSSBONE SKULLY—the exciting new multidimensional project led by mastermind Tommy Henriksen (guitarist and musical director for Alice Cooper’s band & member of Hollywood Vampires) released their incendiary new video for their single “The Boom Went The Boom,” featuring Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen. The track is the second taste of new music from CROSSBONE SKULLY’s debut album due in 2024. Legendary producer Mutt Lange emerged from retirement to executive produce the album and was reunited with Collen on this track after having produced and co-wrote several of Def Leppard’s monumental albums. “The Boom Went The Boom” highlights its rebellious message.
Describing the new track, HENRIKSEN says: “Like dynamite beneath deceit, ‘The Boom Went The Boom’ reveals the truth’s explosive power in song, shattering masks and echoing the reckoning of lies, for when trust erodes, The Misfits Will Rise!”
“I love the Crossbone Skully record and I’ve always loved Tommy’s voice, especially as we’ve got to sing live together a few times,” shares COLLEN. “I’ve always wanted to hear that voice on something like this, so here it is, finally! I’m totally thrilled to be a part of it!”

THE HU
REVEALED ANIMATED MUSIC VIDEO FOR CONTEMPLATIVE SONG
“SELL THE WORLD”
Globally lauded Mongolian rock sensation and UNESCO 2023 “Artist of Peace” designees THE HU shared their first-ever animated music video for the deeply moving, environmentally conscious song “Sell The World.” It is featured on their sophomore 2022 album RUMBLE OF THUNDER and its deluxe version. The compelling animated video depicts environmental villains taking nature’s limited resources for granted and ruining the planet for generations to come.
“The ‘Sell the World’ music video is the first-ever animated music video from The HU,” shares THE HU’s producer DASHKA. “It’s our way of expressing the love we have for our earth. From the name of the song to the content of the video, we use sarcasm and exaggeration to show the unpleasantness of the world. It was easier to use the graphics and 3Ds to create visuals for the exaggerated message that the song has in its lyrics. Throughout past albums, The HU’s songs positively reinforce the message of protecting the earth and keeping nature intact. However, on this video we took a completely different, polar opposite approach to the song’s message by reminding listeners of the limited resources of this earth. The female in the video represents the mother earth we are singing about.”

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT
RELEASE NEW EP
‘SOUNDS FROM BEYOND THE ABYSS (VOL. 1)’
AND SET THE MOOD FOR HALLOWEEN SEASON WITH HYPNOTIC COVER OF TEARS FOR FEARS’
“MAD WORLD”
THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT are getting listeners in the mood for Halloween season by releasing their new EP SOUNDS FROM BEYOND THE ABYSS (VOL.1). The four-track EP features four occult-driven tracks which cater to the band’s potent blend of modern rock anthems molded with emo and pop-punk theatrics. Of the four tracks, two are covers of iconic songs from artists that have inspired THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s vibrant sound: Radiohead’s “Creep” (released this past August in partnership with The Hot Topic Foundation to support non-profit music, art, LGBTQ+ and mental health organizations for youth and teens) and Tears For Fears’ “Mad World.”
“’Sounds From Beyond The Abyss (Volume 1)’ was designed to be a fun departure, something to hold over fans while we finish up the steps towards our full record release,” shares vocalist LEE JENNINGS. “Within the lore of our band; it represents secret tracks, hidden away to be discovered by some unlucky Samaritan. Occult sounds meant to hypnotize the listener with music from an alternate reality. Which is to explain the case of covers & alternate versions of original songs. A ‘what if?’ scenario for our fans and ourselves.”
THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT shared a visualizer video for their hypnotizing “Mad World” cover, “Anyone who has met the band for more than 45 seconds can tell that we’re all big Donnie Darko fans, so when the question of a new cover came up, ‘Mad World’ was an obvious answer,” says JENNINGS. “Drawing more from the Gary Jules rendition than the Tears For Fears original, this cover of ours is all about the mood and vibe. Finding the balance between capturing the essence of The Funeral Portrait alongside the Samhain spirit for Halloween was the tightrope we had to walk and we’re very happy with the outcome.”
