In celebration of its 20th Anniversary, Waxwork Records is proud to present THE RING Original Motion Picture Music by Hans Zimmer! This long anticipated release marks the first time that The Ring will be available on vinyl. The Ring is a 2002 supernatural horror film directed by Gore Verbinski and starring Naomi Watts and Brian Cox. It is a remake of Hideo Nakata’s 1998 Japanese horror film Ringu, based on Koji Suzuki’s
1991 eponymous novel. The plot follows a journalist who investigates an
urban legend of a cursed videotape that seemingly kills the viewer
seven days after watching it.
The Ring was
released on October 18, 2002 to positive reviews praising its
atmosphere, visuals, and Watt’s performance. It is one of the highest
grossing horror remakes and paved the way for English-language remakes
of other Asian horror films such as The Grudge and Dark Water.
The score by composed by Hans Zimmer
is a dark symphonic orchestration that shifts from ghostly and
melancholic to frightening and terror stricken. Constructed from a base
of a piano, violins, synthesizer, and two cellos, Zimmer’s score is
thoroughly effective in bringing the listener into the haunting space
that is The Ring with dreadfully anxious
strings, mournful keys, and rolling percussion. Zimmer creates a shadowy
ambience that pulls you into the gripping ghost story.
Waxwork Records is thrilled to present the full score to The Ring composed by Hans Zimmer for the very first time on vinyl as a deluxe double LP for the film’s 20th Anniversary. Featuring 180 gram “Samara & The Well” Green & Black Marbled Vinyl and “Cursed VHS Tape” Black with White Splatter Colored Vinyl, heavyweight gatefold jackets with matte satin coating, new art and design by Matt Needle,
exclusive liner notes by director Gore Verbinski, a 12”x12” printed
insert, and enthusiastic album packaging approvals from director
Verbinski and composer Hans Zimmer.
