For the first time in any format, Pier Paolo Pasolini’s controversial 1975 adaptation of the Marquis de Sade’s *The 120 Days of Sodom*, characterized by classical compositions of great beauty and dissonance, stands in stark contrast to the shocking and cruel events unfolding on screen. Three weeks before the scandalous release of “Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom,” Pasolini was brutally murdered in Ostia, Italy. In the wake of the tragedy, legendary composer Ennio Morricone wrote “Addio a Pier Paolo Pasolini” for the late director, which was included in the final cut. Following the narrative of one of Pasolini’s most significant cinematic moments, the soundtrack opens with Ennio Morricone’s “Son Tanto Triste,” descends into the melancholic minor chords of Bach, Chopin, Orff, Puccini, and Graziosi, incorporates sinister interpretations by the cast, and includes Morricone’s somber tribute to the director.

Finnish death metal 7" box set series to be released via Svart Records - Part I with Abhorrence, Disgrace & Messiah Paratroops out in April

This is part of the story of the birth of early Finnish death metal. The late ’80s and early ’90s were a time when underground extreme metal flourished, and the main centrifugal force that got bands known globally was tape trading. Influences spread like a disease, and young, emerging death metal groups were eager to be more brutal than the next. Lack of money meant that studios couldn’t be booked for weeks, so the first logical release for starting bands was usually a self-released demo tape or a seven-inch vinyl, where they could squeeze in two to four tracks.

Even though we are talking about Finnish death metal here, the American record label Seraphic Decay, run by Steve O’Bannon, plays an important role in this story. It was the label that originally released the first 7” records for three Finnish bands: Disgrace's Debts of God (1990), Abhorrence's Abhorrence (1990) — the band that later morphed into Amorphis — and Messiah Paratroops' The Past (1992).
