DAWN OF THE DEAD | VINYL RECORD (LP)

A NEW YORK COMIC CON 20th ANNIVERSARY EXCLUSIVE! Thanks to his brilliant debut "Night of the Living Dead" (1968), director and screenwriter George Romero is considered the creator of the "modern zombie", a metaphor for a deeply consumerist society that is depicted even more vividly in his follow-up "Dawn of the Dead" (1978), released in Italy as "Zombi," featuring a different cut by Dario Argento and a soundtrack once again composed by the legendary Goblin. "Zombi" is a very diverse album, in which the electric guitars, the stars of the hard-rock track "Zaratozom", give way to keyboards, synthesizers, and percussive elements of every kind. The true masterpiece of the album remains the opening track of "L'Alba dei Morti Viventi," with it's sinister, relentless pace that evokes a slow and unstoppable zombie march from which there is no escape. To mark the 20th anniversary of New York Comic Con, Cinevox Record and AMS Records are presenting an edition with special artwork. Conceived by Marco Bixio and created under his artistic direction by JJ Farfante Artlab, the artwork pays tribute to one of the most iconic locations not only in the film but in all of "zombie" cinema. Goblin fans will recognize that, for the first time ever, the film's original title, "Dawn of the Dead," is being used for the release of the corresponding original soundtrack by Goblin.
