  • Streaming + Download

    Volume 3 in the Cineola series is the original soundtrack to the award winning feature film Hyena by director Gerard Johnson.

    The film, Muscle: Michael Logan is an anti-hero for our times, a natural predator and a complex mix of high-functioning addict and corrupt police officer. But his dark world is evolving. A recent influx of ruthless Albanian gangsters is changing London’s criminal landscape. Michael’s razor sharp instincts have always kept him one step ahead, but now his increasingly self-destructive behaviour, and the sheer brutality of the new gang lords, finds Michael in a spiralling descent of fear and self-doubt.

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Double album housed inside a 425gsm leather look sleeve containing one red disc and one blue disc with an etching on side 4, also comes with full colour booklet and an exclusive lobby card.

    One-off pressing on red and blue vinyl strictly limited to 1000 copies.

    Death Waltz Recording Company are proud to bring you a modern classic from one of Britain’s most revered bands. Directed by Gerard Johnson, HYENA is a breakneck thriller dealing with Police corruption in West London with an incredibly atmospheric score by Matt Johnson. Following super-bent copper Michael, HYENA highlights the dark and grimy side of being on the take, with none of the flash and glamour usually seen in movies like this. The The – scoring their second movie with Gerard Johnson after TONY – give the film an evocative soundtrack that weaves between seduction and horror.

    The score to HYENA comes across like a fever dream; vignettes of hip-hop and house beats with incredible synthesizer melodies laid on top, threatening electronic effects roaring like a Formula 1 car engine, even choral sections with haunted vocals that show the inevitable influence of Vangelis. Instrumentation is eclectic, with electric and acoustic guitars creating anticipation and dissonance while steel drums and Eastern strings subconsciously illustrate the diversity of the area. Similarly, HYENA combines its musical influences to produce a score that reflects the danger of Michael’s situation but also the exhilaration. No matter how you feel about corruption or the police, HYENA is essential.

    Includes unlimited streaming of HYENA via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

THE THE England, UK

THE THE was formed in 1979 by Matt Johnson. His genre is all his own: it is music of long shadows, high hopes, channeled anger, feverish passions and sweetly disturbing poignancy. It is pop and rock, blues and folk, soul and polemic. It spans alienated electronics to twisted cinematic soundtracks, guitar tumbling swing to crimson ballads, rants and prayers to diaries and hymns. ... more
