The Midnight Meat Train, a film released a few weeks ago, has a lot of big names behind it. Japanese director Ryuhei Kitamura took on the task of directing this adaptation of Clive Barker’s horrifying short story of the same name (written 25 years before the film debut). Along with having an original score, the film also sports some decent arranged remixes from visionary producer Justin Lassen. Some of these remixed songs come from bands like Apocalyptica, Second Coming, and Iconcrash. However, one song on the album was written by a pair of all-star game music veterans. They are Jason Hayes and Gerard Marino.
For those of you not in the know, Jason Hayes is the man behind a number of Blizzard’s soundtracks, including Warcraft III and World of Warcraft. As for Gerard Marino, you may know him from his work on the God of War series. The two worked together to compose a song entitled “Nacatl.” Justin Lassen also did arrangement on this track for its use in Midnight Meat Train.
After the jump, we have an interview with all three of these upstanding gentlemen: Jason Hayes, Gerard Marino, and Justin Lassen. We talk about the song “Nacatl,” the film for which it is used, and a host of other topics. Check it out! (more…)
