(PR) 300 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - the innovative score to the upcoming feature film 300 is in stores now. The film, which stars Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, and Rodrigo Santoro, is based on the acclaimed graphic novel by beloved comic book writer and artist Frank Miller and hits theaters on March 9th. The film's score was written and produced by Tyler Bates, a composer best known for his work on the zombie horror films The Devil's Rejects (directed by Rob Zombie) and 2004's Dawn of the Dead, directed by Zack Snyder, who also wrote and directed 300. In addition to the 25-track CD, Warner Bros. Records have released a special edition deluxe-version Digipak, which includes a 16-page booklet as well as three two-sided trading cards."My intent was to stay true to the inspiration of the film and that of the Spartans' freedom and will," Bates says. "The greatest challenge was to bead a musical thread throughout the film's ever-changing landscape of visual art, while sustaining its epic and emotional qualities. I had to approach it in a style as inventive as the film itself. To do that, Bates created a sweeping orchestral and choral soundscape, recorded at the Beatles' famed Abbey Road Studios that embraced a tonal palette unusual for studio films. Iranian-born singer Azam Ali - whose haunting, exotic vocals have also graced various television and film soundtracks, including, most recently, The Nativity Story - supplies the voice of Sparta and the Persian threat.
