To quote Roger: “We got this man, we got this by the ass!”

[@djpetenice]

Man, killer work. IMO the darkest, dreadful and frightening soundtrack to a movie ever.

[@MathiasT.Taylor]

Thanks a ton Pete! Agreed. The music plunges you right into the apocalypse from the very first notes.

[@TheLostBoy1974]

The DAY of the Dead is just as good. Give it a good listen.

[@hanknyc]

I love seeing young people who are obsessed with this cult classic and keeping its memory alive -- timeless movie, timeless music

[@MathiasT.Taylor]

Thanks so much! It's the true work of a master :)

[@combatshox]

old horror fan 55.seen goblin live twice.the last one was dawn of the dead live.me and my mates were over the moon to see a very talented young musician play these scores .at a top notch level.well done mathias the liverpool horror crew.

[@MathiasT.Taylor]

Thanks so much for the kind words! Means a lot coming from someone who's seen them live in person!

[@d_son1978]

Amazing! Perfectly captures the feel of the movie and its soundtrack.

[@MathiasT.Taylor]

Thank you so much! Glad to hear it's in keeping with the tone of the piece :)

[@tobeyntucker]

This is without doubt one of the single greatest covers of anything I ever heard..

[@MathiasT.Taylor]

Thank you so much for such kind words!

[@johndelia9408]

Just found this and can't stop listening to it. I saw movie in theater and of course was blown away
Question, where did you pipe in voice harmonizing on second gig?

[@MathiasT.Taylor]

@@johndelia9408 That means a lot John; thanks so much.
Layered a couple of choir patches to create the voices :)

[@kingkosher6231]

Fulci AND Romero? You have good taste.

[@bradchervel5202]

Love the left ear arpeggios at around 1:00

[@fulcifan6946]

I would love to see you tackle Zaratozom. It’s the track that plays during the biker scene in the superior European cut.

[@MathiasT.Taylor]

Absolutely love that track. Especially all the synth arpeggios.

[@dutch66]

Just coming back after two years to listen to your masterpiece again and again! This is totally amazing!

Brilliant work. Thanks for sharing with all us Romero fans 🙏

[@MathiasT.Taylor]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@tadleger6912]

Very well done!!
I've been a Goblin fan for decades and it's great to see a totally professional and loving tribute to their music. If this only had real, live drums, it would be a masterpiece. I'd be happy to contribute a drum track for anything like this in the future

[@MathiasT.Taylor]

Thank you so much for the kind words Ted! Means a lot coming from another huge fan. Sounds awesome! I'm hoping to get some equipment to record live drums sometime soon. Just don't have the gear at the minute 😊. That's super kind of you to offer! Thanks heaps again 😊

[@fowliefilms8581]

This is amazing dude. The music in these films, especially Fulci's was always one of my favourite elements. Great to see such a fantastic tribute. Can't wait to see more, keep it up!

[@MathiasT.Taylor]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I adore these soundtracks as well. I actually made a whole video dedicated to Fabio Frizzi's music for Fulci's films as well :)

[@8bitsniper568]

This sounds way more fitting for the Remake, I have mad respect for Johnny Cash, but especially for the intro of the movie where everything's going haywire on the streets, your cover of the main theme is way more fitting. You nailed it man!

[@MathiasT.Taylor]

Thanks so much! Would definitely have been interesting to hear a reprise of Goblin's score in there somewhere.

[@matiashagemann2379]

Thank you for such a magnificent tribute, Greetings from Argentina!!!

[@MathiasT.Taylor]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Greetings from New Zealand ☺️

[@gregorstange3529]

Wow! Dawn of the Dead is my one of my alltime favs - and the Goblin OST was one of the reasons, that I loved the movie. This tribute is absolutly amazing and bring back so much memories to the movie. Especially when I think that this masterpiece was banned here in Germany for more than 40 years because of its gore scences. But it was so much more than a gory fllick, it was a trip on a rolkercoster, a truelly underated masterpiece! Good job!

[@MathiasT.Taylor]

Wow, thanks so much for such kind words Gregor. I had no idea it was band in Germany for that long! You're absolutely right though. A masterpiece that's far more than meets the eye.

[@williamhubert572]

[@zombiebabe1960]

This is absolutely amazing and you completely nailed it...Dawn of the Dead has always been one of my all time favorite films and the soundtrack music by Goblin sends chills up my spine every time I hear it...One thing I was immediately thinking as I watched this was how incredibly cool this would have been if you could have recorded it in a small room with nothing but blank walls and those stacks of boxes full of Spam like they found when they first broke into the mall at the beginning...It would have looked like all of the instruments you were playing were grabbed from stores when you made a run downstairs for a television, radio, snacks, etc...And then ending it by showing that metal door and the sounds of zombies pounding on it because they had followed the sounds of your music up the stairs from the mall...All kidding aside though, great job and I do agree with a few of the other posters here in that I would love to see you do Day of the Dead as well...RIP George Romero!

[@MathiasT.Taylor]

Wow, that's an amazing idea! Should I do more with the Dead series I might have to take you up on your suggestions! With credit of course :) But thank you so much for the kind words and stoked to see others who love these films and scores as much as I do!
