About this item

“Death Knocks And He Shall Die” is an instrumental hip-hop album inspired by Italian ‘Giallo’ movies and Film Noir. It's a movie for your ears or rather a soundtrack to a film that doesn't exist. Using film dialogue sampled and arranged across 16 tracks, it tells a story of seduction, infidelity and murder over boom-bap styled jazzy grooves and horror soundscapes that are layered with seductive and haunting female singing. This album is a journey best listened to from start to end and should appeal to fans of DJ Shadow and some of the instrumental hip-hop LPs we get in from over in the US. A nice concept well executed! Check!

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Local beatsmith Chalk gets all Giallo on our backsides and drops a killer soundtrack to an imaginary film Noir. Perfect for hot boxing the Beemer, throwing down some freestyle bars or utilizing in your next cutting and scratching sesh!
