‘Mandy’ Lyric Video: Jeremiah Sand ‘Amulet Of The Weeping Maze’ | Flaunt Magazine

Be sure to note how the eerie sounds Johannsson created set the scene for the horror that is the film Mandy. – Flaunt Magazine

The song, “Amulet Of The Weeping Maze” offers a lens into the villain Jeremiah Sand (Linus Roache), the cult leader that would go head to head with Nicolas Cage’s Red Miller.  The song appears in Mandy (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), and was the debut track that Lakeshore Records released early this year when the film headed to Sundance.  Flaunt Magazine reveals more about the film’s soundtrack, which features score by the late Johann Johannsson, who actually started working on the score as far back as 2016.  More on that and the full Lyric Video to “Amulet Of The Weeping Maze” is available now exclusively at Flaunt.

Johann Johannsson : The Music Of ‘Mandy’ | Variety

Partly electronic, partly live players, it’s also heavily edited and processed for a dark, massive, industrial-metal sound that matches the grim, violent, sometimes insane milieu of the film. – Jon Burlingame, Variety

On the eve of the Mandy theatrical and soundtrack release, Variety’s Jon Burlingame takes a look at the late composer Johann Johannsson, whose score was completed shortly before his passing earlier this year.  The film’s director Panos Cosmatos, his friend and manager Tim Husom and others remark on the journey and collaborations that brought the highly-anticipated score to fruition, including the newly-formed Johann Johannsson Foundation, which aims to “connect and support music students to musicians.”  Read the full story at Variety.
