Editorial Reviews

In the "Main Title," the listener is immediately introduced to the End of Days score's intriguing piece of experimentation--an electronically manipulated boy soprano's voice. Later there are plenty of deviations from this opening idea, but as Big Arnie's soulful motif it's the most recurrent of all the musical material. This opening cue also sets a stylistic precedent for much of what follows. The atonal effect of breathing voices mixed with electronics and somber ensemble is akin to sound design. If it makes for long stretches of unnerving aural distraction, that's to John Debney's credit. Bursting out of the quietude comes some frighteningly loud drama--as you'd expect with Schwarzenegger taking on Satan himself--cue a Terminator-like beat in "The Shooter," fast and furious action crashes in "Helicopter Pursuit," and the showpiece scariness of "Subway Attack & Escape." All the vocal effects find resolution before ascending heavenwards in "Redemption." And then at the album's end come two complete surprises: a bravely experimental "Alternate Main Title" and a "dance mix" of some of the material. It isn't likely to have anyone doing a Beelzebub Bop, but it's certainly frightening! --Paul Tonks

Not the end of Debney.......2003-03-14
This is not music to listen to while relaxing. It is genuinely ominous and downright creepy in parts with great results. Composer John Debney utilizes a boy soprano, Theo Lebow, for the main theme, which is a 4 note motif that sounds a lot like something Danny Elfman would write. Debney also uses a Latin voice choir, a Tuvan throat singer, dudek, ethnic flute, ram horn, and a tibet long horn in the mix. Overall, the music is loud and massive with thick orchestrations and wall to wall sound. I have always liked Debney's action music and here, he takes it to great effect. "The Shooter", "Alley Fight", "Helicopter Pursuit", "The Beast Comes A Callin'", and "Subway Attack and Escape" are all knockout action cues with heavy brasses, racing strings, and pounding percussion. Tracks such as "Baptism in Blood", "Jericho Finds Faith", "The Eternal Struggle", and "Redemption" are ominous and very gothic sounding. The alternate main title is really weird and should have been left off the CD, as well as the dance mix. But, the score is great and is really, really dark and full of action.
