From first listen I can tell you that none of the artists have pulled their brass-knuckled punches on this release.

Vinyl New Release:
IT’S ALWAYS BLUE: SONGS FROM LEGION – [Order Here] Music by Noah Hawley & Jeff Russo, Dan Stevens, Rachel Keller, Navid Negahban.
Some of the most memorable moments in the provocative second season of FX’s Legion are tied to its original soundtrack… Accompanying the visual design of Season 2 — which often leveraged a surreal and nightmarish aesthetic that seemed to escalate the unpredictable potential hinted at in the first — was a unique approach to its inclusion of cover songs – Leo Faierman, Screen Rant
The soundtrack includes a grim, highly evocative take on the 1985 Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers classic “Don’t Come Around Here No More,” which calls to mind Fragile-era Nine Inch Nails. You can listen to Hawley & Russo’s industrial spin on this classic rock staple – Austin Trunick, Under The Radar
Out today in stores and online is the highly-anticipated vinyl release of It’s Always Blue: Songs From Legion, the cover songs album from the FX Networks hit series! Previously, we anticipated the album arriving a week later, but sometimes, one of the David Haller universes swings your way.
The soundtrack teams up Series Showrunner Noah Hawley and Series Composer Jeff Russo who perform reimagined cover songs of classic hits such as “Behind Blue Eyes”, “Don’t Come Around Here No More”, and “Cornflake Girl” and more. Series stars Dan Stevens, Rachel Keller and Navid Negahban lend vocals to key songs in the album!

“Britell uses exquisite cellos, and melancholy, moody trumpets to create a beautiful hybrid haze of classical music and jazz” – The Playlist
“Score insanely beautiful” – Madonna

“Darker Skies” bristles with sinister energy that effectively captures the dark vibe of the horror film genre. – Tom Owen, Bloody Disgusting
Lakeshore Records in partnership with Fangoria Presents are thrilled to share “Darker Skies” by Mega Drive, the second track from the forthcoming Fangoria Presents: Hollydoom – Original Magazine Soundtrack! If Mega Drive sounds familiar, the artist was featured in a previous Lakeshore release, The Rise of The Synths! Listen to the full Mega Drive track now at Bloody Disgusting. Are you a synthwave fan? What do you think of Mega Drive’s exclusive new track?
The track features an opening monologue from Corin Hardy, director of The NunandThe Hallow. Sinister, eldritch, and undeniably catchy, “Cthulhu” is everything that we have come to know and love from Gunship. That it’s a love letter to H.P. Lovecraft’s iconic Old God is the cherry on top, although it’s admittedly one huge cherry! – Jonathan Barkan, Dread Central
Gunship kicks off the new year for Lakeshore Records via their debut track, “Cthulhu (feat. Corin Hardy)” from the forthcoming Fangoria Presents: Hollydoom – Original Magazine Soundtrack! Listen to the full song now at Dread Central. The various artist compilation album also features tracks by synthwave artists you may recognize from the Lakeshore repertoire: Power Glove, Carpenter Brut, Binary Reptile, Wojciech Golczewski, Ogre, Mega Drive and more!
