Viva Las Vegas!! Rising from the desert sands, a signature tune for Elvis, (penned by Doc Pomus & Mort Shuman), swings and roars back to life as soundtrack to the wild opening title sequence of “Army Of The Dead” – Hollywood auteur Zack Snyder’s newest creation, a zombie heist+ spectacle set in Vegas. 

Allison Crowe, recently elegiacally closing “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”, joins movie music maven Richard Cheese for a duet to raise the undead along with the living. (The fabulous Cheese – actor/musician Mark Jonathan Davis of Lounge Against the Machine –  earlier serenades audiences in “Dawn of the Dead”, “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and more). 

Milan Records, (an imprint of Sony), releases the original motion picture soundtrack on May 21 – and the album opens with Allison & Richard’s singular dual rendering of #VivaLasVegas! Along with vocal/piano+ celluloid heroes, the OST includes the film’s electronic music score from super-composer Tom Holkenborg aka Junkie XL (also fresh off the #SnyderCut). 

The movie “Army Of The Dead” opens this Friday, May 14 – showing in 600 cinemas across America, (including 200 Cinemark locations, plus iPic, Landmark, Alamo Drafthouse, Harkins and Cinépolis theatres), before it globally opens on Netflix – May 21st. (https://www.netflix.com/ca/title/81046394) 

NB #ArmyOfTheDead” is very much a “hard R” movie experience – as befits the zombie/horror genre. Anything from The Stone Quarry team of creators will provide intellectual and spiritual content as well as visceral thrills. The zombie genre, of course, offers a particular kind of catharsis and, so, it’s for an appropriately age-restricted audience. Director Zack Snyder notes: “Viewer discretion is definitely advised.”
