Waxwork Records is proud to release the debut solo-album by Lia Braswell. 'Rising' marks Braswell's emergence as a primary songwriter, unveiling an ethereal dream-folk sound that emphasizes atmospheric melodies and introspection.

If Braswell’s name rings a bell, that’s because it should. Having done time as the touring drummer for A Place To Bury Strangers, TR/ST, Le Butcherettes, Sextile, and many others, Braswell has performed on nearly every continent and played internationally renowned festivals such as Coachella and Cruel World. As such, it should come as no surprise that her impressive resumé shines through in the expertly crafted, ethereal dream pop of Rising. Simultaneously evoking the airy, atmospheric sensibilities of Cocteau Twins, the pop-forward experimentation of Kate Bush, and the hyper-danceable, retro synthwave of contemporary artists like Riki and Nuovo Testamento, Braswell’s self-assured presence as both a songwriter and vocalist results in an effort that bears none of the awkward growing pains one might expect from a new project. Equally arresting is Braswell’s lyrical finesse, with profoundly evocative and delicately personal narratives elevating the already deeply affecting music to heights that border on the sublime.

Moving from the relative anonymity of a drum kit to the revealing illumination of center stage comes with its own unique set of anxiety-inducing challenges, but if Braswell is experiencing any trepidation, it certainly doesn’t show in the quality of her music. Then again, when you’ve already toured with Iggy and the Stooges by age 20, maybe embarking on a solo career seems quaint in comparison. What’s beyond debate is that Braswell has a remarkable knack for songwriting and performance that is self-evident on her stunning debut. Accomplished a career as it already, Rising feels like just one more step forward in an ever-growing body of work that is much greater than the sum of its parts.

From Lia Braswell:

"This record took years for me to write. I wrote every single day since 2013, which was the practice that helped me get through to the words and sentiment that would be able to condense such deep emotions into 4-5 minute songs. It’s an album from the depths of my heart and all that it’s been beating through."

Waxwork Records is thrilled to present 'Rising' as a deluxe double LP featuring three previously unreleased bonus tracks, "Zinnia" splatter colored vinyl, a heavyweight gatefold jacket with overall UV gloss coating, a vertical belly-band, a 12"x12" full color insert and lyric sheet, and an 18"x24" full color poster.

Built to match the scale, intensity, and mythology of the film, the soundtrack channels the brutal energy and adrenaline that have defined Mortal Kombat for generations, while reimagining one of the most recognizable themes in video game history for a new era.

From New Line Cinema comes the latest high-stakes installment in the blockbuster video game franchise in all its brutal glory, MORTAL KOMBAT II. This time, the fan favorite champions, now joined by Johnny Cage himself, are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders

Composer Benjamin Wallfisch notes:

“Scoring Mortal Kombat has been a truly special creative experience. It is a world of immense scale, intensity, and mythology, but what inspired me most was the emotion and humanity that Simon and the entire filmmaking team brought to it beneath the spectacle. In creating this music, I wanted to honour the legacy of Mortal Kombat while bringing depth, feeling, and cinematic scope to its story. This album reflects the extraordinary work of so many brilliant musicians and collaborators, and I’m deeply grateful to all of them for helping bring it to life.

In partnership with Water Tower Music, Waxwork Records is proud to present MORTAL KOMBAT (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) featuring music by award-winning composer Benjamin Wallfisch.

From New Line Cinema, Mortal Kombat is a 2021 American martial arts fantasy film based on the video-game series. The film serves as a reboot and is the third installment in the Mortal Kombat film series. Directed by Simon McQuoid, the film follows Cole Young, a washed-up mixed martial arts fighter who is unaware of his hidden lineage or why the assassin Sub-Zero is hunting him down. Concerned for the safety of his family, he seeks out a clique of fighters that were chosen to defend the Earthrealm against the Outworld.

The score for Mortal Kombat is composed by Benjamin Wallfisch. In March of 2021, director Simon McQuoid revealed that Wallfisch, a fan of the original game, began experimenting with the theme's DNA before officially joining the project, ensuring the score blended orchestral elements with intense, modern EDM. The score is highlighted by Wallfisch's reimagined, EDM-infused update of the original theme, entitled "Techno Syndrome 2021".

Composer Benjamin Wallfisch explains, “When I was invited to come on board ‘Mortal Kombat,’ I was very aware of the responsibility that comes with scoring a franchise so deeply embedded in pop culture and with such a passionate fanbase. My first question was what can we do with ‘Techno Syndrome,’ a piece of music so much part of the DNA of the game and the original movies? What motifs could be reinvented and blown up to a full-scale symphonic sound world in the score, and might there be room for a full reinvention of the whole song as an EDM single in 2021? A huge thank you to The Immortals for giving us their blessing to reimagine their classic track in this way, as a celebration of the world of Mortal Kombat and its fans, and of the uplifting power of Electronic Dance Music, which the original did so much to light the fuse of 30 years ago.”

Waxwork Records is thrilled to present Mortal Kombat (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Music by Benjamin Wallfisch as a deluxe double LP featuring "Scorpion" and Sub-Zero" colored vinyl, heavyweight gatefold jackets with matte UV coating, and a 12"x12" full color printed insert.

Waxwork Records is thrilled to present HOKUM Original Motion Picture Score by Joseph Bishara. Written and directed by Damien McCarthy, HOKUM stars Adam Scott and follows a misanthropic author who travels to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes. He becomes trapped in a haunting mystery involving a boarded-up honeymoon suite, a local witch legend, and his own dark past. The film has been praised upon its release for its strong, quiet dread, atmosphere, and character-driven horror. It delves into themes of grief, Irish folklore, and childhood trauma.

Joseph Bishara is an American composer, music producer, and actor, best known for his work scoring films such as Insidious, The Conjuring, Malignant, and Annabelle. After an early influence of classical music, Bishara began experimenting with electronic and experimental music, becoming interested in groups such as Tangerine Dream. He became engrossed in horror scores after watching The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Nosferatu. Bishara is known for his avant-garde style and unique approach to instrumentation and composition that suits horror films particularly well.

Joseph Bishara’s HOKUM score is driven by dark, dissonant strings, unsettling electronics, and haunting vocal choruses that gradually intensify, instilling a persistent sense of dread. Renowned for his expertise in sound design, Bishara fully leans into that craft, weaving elements seamlessly into the HOKUM composition. The result is a deeply immersive sonic experience in which the sound design doesn’t just accompany the score, it amplifies it, surrounding the listener in an oppressive atmosphere that mirrors the film’s dangerous subject matter.

Waxwork Records is proud to present HOKUM Original Motion Picture Score by Joseph Bishara as a deluxe LP set featuring "Honeymoon Suite" pearlescent blood-red and black swirled vinyl, a lenticular-effect front cover bringing "Jack The Donkey" in and out of the television screen artwork, heavyweight gatefold jackets with matte UV coating, printed inner sleeves, and all new artwork by Dane Hallett. Hallett's credits include concept design and art for such franchises as Alien, Mad Max, Predator, and Mortal Kombat.

HOKUM Original Motion Picture Score Features:

• Original Score by Joseph Bishara
• "Honeymoon Suite" Pearlescent Blood-Red & Black Swirled Vinyl
• Lenticular Front Cover Revealing Jack The Donkey

In partnership with WaterTower Music, Waxwork Records marks their second collaboration with director Lee Cronin and composer Stephen McKeon with the release of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) as a deluxe double LP. The release includes two limited-edition variants, Black Scorpion-filled and Sand-filled, alongside a wide-release Blood and Sand colored vinyl.

Stephen McKeon shares:

“With Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, the challenge was to create an emotional and expressive score built on strangled breaths, fingernails scraping against the inside of a sarcophagus and eruptions of uncontrolled rage; a kind of undead demonic orchestra that would worm its way under the skin and live inside the more traditional musical element.”

Producer Jason Blum shares:

"Stephen McKeon brought something genuinely special to Lee Cronin's The Mummy. A great score doesn't just support a film, it becomes part of it, and that's exactly what Stephen delivered. He's a remarkable talent and this score is proof of that.
