Event Horizon: The Rock Anthem
Remember that tender Time Cop-centric love ballad from back in December? Well, the band who penned it, .357 Lover, is back with another incongruous rock song based on yet another semi-obscure modern sci-fi flick. Making music based on the movies themselves — espeically where the title is part of the chorus — is a very ’80s thing to do, so when it’s applied to only vague popular genre films like Event Horizon, it absolutely delights me. I think .357 Lover is doing the lord’s work, frankly, and I pray that Army of Darkness is somewhere on their list. Thanks to Fish Boy for the tip.
