Bio
Shooting Guns
provide the perfect soundtrack for the morning after the apocalypse,
when you are sitting in the rubble of your home in a bathrobe and
think, 'What should I do now?' and end up zoning out for hours in a
psychedelic trance instead of making a survival plan. Bad move on
your part, because you are probably going to die.

Review:
Shooting
Guns return a mere 12 months or so after releasing their critically
acclaimed 2nd album – Brotherhood Of The Ram. Shooting
Guns have released something special for their next release. A movie
soundtrack to the cult movie – WolfCop.
Plot
Synopsis of WolfCop
It’s
not unusual for alcoholic cop Lou Garou to black out and wake up in
unfamiliar surroundings, but lately things have taken a strange turn.
Crime scenes seem oddly familiar... Lou's senses are heightened...
and when the full moon is out, he's a rage-fueled werewolf. WOLFCOP
is one cop's quest to become a better man…one transformation at a
time.
So
what have Shooting Guns unleashed upon to the world. Well it's 35
minutes of new music which blends Doom, Stoner, Psych and Ambient
based noises with an 80s synth heavy soundtrack that gives you the
perfect feel what the film is all about.
Wolfcop
OST features the same old Shooting Guns magic from previous releases
but this time the band have written shorter songs which packs a lot
more emotional depth than you first realise. It can be classed as a
continuation from Brotherhood Of The Ram as it features some
recognisable riffs matched against a more manic quick based energy
that Shooting Guns haven't attempted before.
The
album is purely instrumental apart from the funny as hell last track
– One More Day – which more than matches the tongue in cheek
humour of the film itself. Noises, glitches, synthesizer effects and
ambient sounds match superbly well with the more straight-forward
Doom/Stoner Metal aspect of the album. SUDA is the perfect example of
how Shooting Guns have matched their trademark riffs against a creepy
occult based rock synth soundtrack. It shouldn’t really work but
Shooting Guns have excelled themselves here as they make you feel
apart of the action.
This
album sees Shooting Guns releasing their most creative and most
insane album yet. Not many Doom/Stoner Metal bands get the chance to
do a movie soundtrack but Shooting Guns pull this off superbly. They
have managed to capture the true essence of a thrilling and creepy
soundtrack that will have you on the edge of your seat. If you grew
up in the 1980s then this album will bring back a lot of fond
memories as the album includes a ton of great synth based noises from
late night TV shows and too many B movies you watched as a kid.
Wolfcop
OST is an absolute blast from start to finish and this will rank as
one of 2014's weirdest and freshest instrumental rock/metal albums.
Kudos must goto the makers of Wolfcop for letting Shooting Guns
unleash their magic on a highly original project such as this.
Only
Shooting Guns can end the album on such a funny note with One More
Day. Country and Western. Really guys. Country and Western. Why am I
not surprised. As after all this is an album for a movie about a
fucking WOLFCOP!!!
