Few cinematic events call for music to rock out to more than giant monsters destroying cities and fighting each other. The upcoming Godzilla: King of the Monsters will have a lot of giant monsters battling for supremacy, and it needs a soundtrack worthy of that level of wild destruction. Fortunately, the soundtrack for Godzilla: King of the Monsters has enlisted some top tier talent to do just that.
Bear McCreary, who has scored all manner of genre properties, from 10 Cloverfield Lane to The Walking Dead to the most recent God of War game, is composing the soundtrack for the sequel film. For one particularly special track, he teamed up with System of a Downs frontman Serj Tankian.
The two joined forces for a cover of Blue yster Cults classic Godzilla from the bands fifth album, 1977s Spectres. The playful and campy hard-rock tribute to the king of the monsters became one of Blue yster Cults biggest hits, and bands like Fu Manchu and The Smashing Pumpkins have covered it over the years. The song now stands as a fun piece of Godzillas history.
For the cover of Godzilla on the Godzilla: King of the Monsters soundtrack, System of a Downs Serj Tankian provides the vocals for the song, singing lyrics like Go, go, Godzilla and "He picks up a bus and he throws it back down." Also contributing to the track are the members of Metalocalypse's Dethklok, Gene Hoglan and Brendon Small. The cover also incorporates a Japanese taiko drumming group, a full orchestra, chanting, kick drums and a heavy metal rhythm section. Add in Serj Tankians vocals, and Bear McCreary told Rolling Stone that his Godzilla cover is complete musical madness.
That sounds exactly like what you would want from a soundtrack for this movie because judging by the trailers, Godzilla: King of the Monsters is complete cinematic madness. Also, for a franchise as old and storied as Godzilla, its nice to see new titles recognize the franchises history. And while Blue yster Cults Godzilla isnt an official part of the canon, it is an important part of the pop culture history of the giant monster.
