Mutant presents the premiere physical release of the Deadpool & Wolverine Original Score on Vinyl

Posted on by

Mutant, in partnership with Hollywood Records and Marvel Studios, presents the premiere physical release of Rob Simonsen‘s score to the blockbuster event of 2024, Marvel Studios‘ Deadpool & Wolverine. And hold on to your chimichangas because this limited edition physical release includes the showstopping “Like A Prayer (Choir Version)” physical media debut.

The tonal balancing act of the Deadpool series is a tightrope to walk – a meta action-comedy with tons of heart and even more vulgarity. Luckily, composer Rob Simonsen rises to the challenge, scoring the highly anticipated third chapter with well-earned confidence. Equal parts explosive and emotional, Simonsen’s debut superhero score is electrifying, occasionally heartbreaking, but always emotionally honest – just like the titular characters.

Available for pre-order now at Mutant’s webstore, madebymutant.com, the Deadpool & Wolverine original score is pressed on 2x 140gm color vinyl, features original exclusive artwork by Matt Taylor, with liner notes by composer Rob Simonsen.

NYCC 2024: Le Destroy and Lordess Foudre release Trashumanism along with a panel

Posted on by

Austin-based artist Le Destroy released her silent graphic novel, Trashumanism that accompanies her record of the same name. This release comes ahead of her New York Comic Con panel on Thursday, October 17 at 3:30pm at the Javits Center in room 408.

The 10-tracks on her album, Trashumanism turn into visual chapters in the silent graphic novel, anchored in Capital City – where a new metropolis is emerging and so is a groundswell rebellion rising up against it. Democracy has quickly become an ancient concept and the new world order is one ruled by mega corporations like GENACOR. Its divisions include ECTOGEN and HELIX, both dabbling in varying degrees of genetic engineering and biopharmaceuticals. GENACOR’s CEO is ruthless, her propensity for the misuse of power unmatched, and she will stop at nothing to remain in power.

Capital City includes a group of female-led protagonists who emerge to fight the system. Among them are: the Artist (the heart, brains and architect of the opposition whose parents were once scientists at ECTOGEN); Rebel (the wildly resilient civil soldier who’d risk her life for the cause); and Robot (originally made as a companion model, she’s alone in the ‘human experience’ and in search of connection).

What happens when a musician traverses the mediums of comics, music, and games? Join Le Destroy, Grammy-Nominated Comic Artist, Lordess Foudre and President of Lakeshore Records, Brian McNelis known for FALLOUT (Amazon), STRANGER THINGS (Netflix), WEDNESDAY (MGM/Amazon/Netflix), CYBERPUNK 2077 (CDPR) for a lively discussion as they do a deep dive into the unique transformation of Le Destroy’s Trashumanism the album into “Trashumanism,” the silent graphic novel.

Moderated by Erica Campbell, learn how the perspectives of Le Destroy shaped the pillars of this multimedia work and its narrative, unearth how the impacts of real world events subliminally and seamlessly flow throughout the album and the comic, and explore how writing songs for Cyberpunk 2077 influenced the project and engaged a community.

A surprise announcement will be made during the panel and one lucky person will receive an exclusive NYCC bundle – including Trashumanism –  The Graphic Novel, and a limited edition Trashumanism Fine Art Print.
