Sleepbomb: Live Score to Frankenstein

SLEEPBOMB is a San Francisco-based cinematic post-metal/doom project focused on full, original scores for genre films. Ranging from heavy doom riffs to dreamy shoegaze, dark soundscapes punctuated with shimmering guitar and ethereal vocals, SLEEPBOMB has been exploring experimental sounds and forms informed by fellow travelers Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Sunn 0))), Ulver and Swans, among others. Settling on a drone influenced style of post/doom metal as the overarching theme while exploring other genres as appropriate for the film’s particular style, they bring their new live score to the groundbreaking 1931 horror film FRANKENSTEIN. The film’s innovative special effects, atmospheric direction, and Boris Karloff’s sympathetic portrayal of the Monster made it a critical and commercial success, influencing the horror genre and popular culture significantly. A singular live musical experience that re-contextualizes this classic film.
