In anticipation of the forthcoming cinematic release of Better Noise Films’ horror-thriller “The Retaliators” on Sept. 14, 2022, Better Noise Music has released the movie’s theme song across digital platforms, along with a music video featuring clips from the film.
“The Retaliators Theme Song (21 Bullets),” co-written by Nikki Sixx and James Michael of Sixx:A.M., features Mötley Crüe, Asking Alexandria, Ice Nine Kills and From Ashes to New, and is featured on “The Retaliators” soundtrack, due out Sept. 16 via Better Noise Music. Watch/stream “The Retaliators Theme Song (21 Bullets)” below or here.
“Writing a new theme song for a horror flick was inspiring,” Sixx said. “This was my first time writing for a horror-thriller film, and it took me in a different direction from the first theme song I wrote–‘The Dirt (1981)’ by Mötley Crüe. I worked with some great new artists to create a new sound that will stretch Mötley Crüe’s audience to new fans. I had a great time writing it, and I think our fans will love it too!”
“We have a great lineup of artists on ‘The Retaliators’ soundtrack,” Better Noise CEO Allen Kovac said. “At Better Noise, we are in the business of bringing music and film together and fans are responding. We’re anticipating a great result.”
