Just in time for Halloween season, BETTER NOISE FILMS – the production company behind Netflix’s hit Mötley Crüe biopic The Dirt – have released their critically acclaimed 2022 revenge horror-thriller THE RETALIATORS overseas in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand on VOD/Digital. In conjunction with the new release, a new LYRIC VIDEO was released for the acoustic version of the film’s theme song, The Retaliators Theme Song (21 Bullets) which was written by Nikki Sixx and features ASKING ALEXANDRIA, ICE NINE KILLS and FROM ASHES TO NEW.
The original version of THE RETALIATORS THEME SONG (21 BULLETS) was included on THE RETALIATORS ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK released via Better Noise Music in September 2022. The soundtrack encompasses a hard-hitting lineup of rock tracks from several of Better Noise Music’s roster, many of which also make on-screen appearances, including Tommy Lee (Mötley Crüe), Ivan Moody (Five Finger Death Punch), and Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach).
“Writing a new theme song for a horror flick was inspiring,” says Sixx. “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!”
