Waxwork Records is proud to release THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE Original Motion Picture Score by Tobe Hooper and Wayne Bell. In celebration of the iconic film's 50th Anniversary, the long awaited score album is now available for the very first time in any format. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a 1974 American Independent horror film produced, co-composed, and directed by Tobe Hooper, who co-wrote it with Kim Henkel. The plot follows a group of friends who fall victim to a family of cannibals while on heir way to visit an old homestead. Over the 50 years since its release, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has become widely regarded as one of the best and most influential horror films ever made.
The film's original score by Tobe Hooper and Wayne Bell is an experimental exercise in music composing and performance that utilizes non-traditional instruments such as suspended cymbals, aluminum saucepans, a children's toy percussion set, various wildlife calls, whistles, shakers, and more. The result is one of the earliest examples of industrial music and has since become known as the "holy grail" of film scores due to its status of being either lost or destroyed. As such, Hooper and Bell's innovative score has become highly sought after, spawning countless bootlegs and attempts to re-create it for commercial gain. Waxwork Records' release of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre by Tobe Hooper and Wayne Bell marks the first time the official score will be made available anywhere.
In 2023, the original film score master tapes were discovered and then privately held at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, TX for preservation. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's co-composer Wayne Bell painstakingly worked to have these original source material master tapes safely transferred. Bell then personally worked to construct and mix the newly transferred official Texas Chain Saw Massacre score for a cohesive listening experience. The score was then mastered by Thomas Dimuzio at Gench Mastering.
Waxwork Records is proud to present THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE Original Motion Picture Score by Tobe Hooper and Wayne Bell as a deluxe vinyl set featuring handpoured colored vinyl, heavyweight gatefold jackets with a printed inner flood, exclusive liner notes by co-composer Wayne Bell, an 11"x11" twelve page booklet with production and behind the scenes photography, and full album design by Steve Reeves.

50周年を記念して、トビー・フーパーとウェイン・ベルによる待望のスコア・アルバム「悪魔のいけにえ」がついにリリース！
トラックリスト『悪魔のいけにえ』は、1974年のアメリカのインディペンデント・ホラー映画で、トビー・フーパーが製作、共同作曲、監督、キム・ヘンケルとの共同脚本を手がけた。あらすじは、古い民家を訪ねる途中、人食い人種の一家の犠牲になった友人たちを描いている。公開から50年を経て、『悪魔のいけにえ』は史上最高の、そして最も影響力のあるホラー映画として広く知られるようになった。
トビー・フーパーとウェイン・ベルによるこの映画のオリジナル・スコアは、吊り下げ式シンバル、アルミ鍋、子供用おもちゃのパーカッション・セット、様々な野生動物の鳴き声、ホイッスル、シェーカーなど、伝統的な楽器以外を使用した、作曲と演奏の実験的な試みである。その結果、インダストリアル・ミュージックの最も初期の例のひとつとなり、その後、紛失したり破壊されたりしていることから、映画音楽の“聖杯”として知られるようになった。そのため、フーパーとベルの革新的なスコアは非常に人気が高く、無数のブートレグや商業的利益のための再現試みが生まれている。このトビー・フーパーとウェイン・ベルによる『悪魔のいけにえ』のWaxwork Recordsからのリリースは、初の公式スコアとなる。
2023年、オリジナル・フィルム・スコアのマスターテープが発見され、その後、テキサス州オースティンのハリー・ランサム・センターに保存のために私蔵されることになった。『悪魔のいけにえ』の共同作曲者であるウェイン・ベルは、これらのオリジナル音源のマスターテープを安全に転送するために苦心した。その後ベルは、新たに移された『悪魔のいけにえ』の公式スコアを、まとまりのあるリスニング体験となるよう、自ら構成しミックスした。このスコアは、Gench Masteringのトーマス・ディムジオによってマスタリングされた。
手塗りのカラー・ヴァイナル、印刷されたインナー・フラッド付きのヘビーウェイト・ゲートフォールド・ジャケット、共同作曲者ウェイン・ベルによる独占ライナーノーツ、製作と舞台裏の写真を掲載した11インチx11インチの12ページ・ブックレット、スティーブ・リーブスによるフル・アルバム・デザインを特徴とするデラックス・ヴァイナル・セットとしてお届けする。
