While there are themes of motorik action throughout most of the tracks, there’s a lot of variation from slower atmospheric sections to the driving pace needed as the backdrop to all-out assault scenes in the film.Ĭhanging things up and down makes the album such a joy to listen to, as well as bringing to life the latest saga from the Judge Dredd comic book world. Its most recent comparable would be the Tron Legacy Soundtrack, but it’s a heavier beast altogether. Shades of Brian Eno combine with inspiration from Mike Oldfield to make an album that works well as the Dredd Soundtrack, but also as an album that you can listen to in its entirety whenever you need a blast of rock instrumental.
It’s all out instrumental rock that loses nothing for stripping out the thought of vocals and delivers some great distortion and fuzz tones. One of the best features of the album is the way that it lulls you in with a softer introduction or calm interlude only to kick back in with heavier rocktronika. Scored by BAFTA-winning British composer Paul Leonard-Morgan ( Limitless, Spooks) for the cinematic release of Dredd in September 2012, the soundtrack was released on the 1st October 2012 on CD, 180 gram audiophile vinyl and digital download. For lovers of rock music, from noise and metal to melodic and electro, it’s an album that doesn’t disappoint as an album in its own right, as well as a stunning accompaniment to what’s rapidly turning into a cult film. As you’d expect from a post-apocalyptic sci-fi film, the Dredd Soundtrack is dark, brooding and atmospheric.
