The Together soundtrack is available on vinyl for $35 from Mutant and Neon.

Composed by Cornel Wilczek, the album is housed in a reverse board gatefold sleeve featuring artwork by Greg Ruth.

Mutant’s “Flesh and Bone” color variant is limited to 400 and is due out on September 19, while Neon’s splatter variant is limited to 250 and is expected to ship in October.

Mutant writes, “Cornel Wilczek crafts an incredible score for this body horror future classic from director Michael Shanks, blending the organic and synthetic, merging them to create something new, mesmerizing, calm, eerie yet beautiful and oddly melodic. Disembodied voices flow in and out of soundscapes made up of traditional acoustic instruments, strings, and synthesizers.

“At first listen, the score seems very minimalist, but with repeated listening, it reveals these amazing earworms that stick in your mind. It’s a truly lovely, otherworldly listen, ideal for late nights and headphones.

Mortal Kombat 2 (stylized as Mortal Kombat II) has been announced, and with it, a cast of incredible actors who will be portraying our favorite characters from the franchise to the best of their abilities.

From Johnny Cage to Shao Kahn’s brutal campaign against Earth, each victory brings us one step closer, and each defeat means total annihilation of Earth. With high stakes, and Mortal Kombat in 2021 being quite a decent film, the stakes are bigger and better in Mortal Kombat 2, and there are plenty of characters to share the load.

So, without further ado, here’s every Mortal Kombat 2 character confirmed and who’s playing them. You’d be surprised to see who plays Johnny Cage!

The Cult have shared two new songs under their Death Cult moniker, “Flesh and Bone” and “C.O.T.A.”

The tracks come after The Cult’s Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy revived the early incarnation of the band for a recent tour. Death Cult originally emerged from Asbury’s first band Southern Death Cult in 1983 once the singer joined forces with Duffy (eventually morphing into The Cult in 1984).

Described as post-punk/deathrock, Death Cult’s sound is a bit murkier and more cryptic than the big stadium-ready bombast Astbury and company injected into The Cult. As heard on “Flesh and Bone,” the band balances subdued instrumentation with harsher crescendos and a feeling of unease, which is even more palpable on the sparse, drum-machine-based “C.O.T.A.” (an acronym for “communion of the animals”).

The new songs are available digitally and on a 7″ vinyl single titled “Death Cult – 8323” that’s included as...

This summer, Disney+ released Zombies 3 after the first two films in the series proved successful for a new generation of Disney kids thanks to their bright colors, message of inclusiveness and fun songs.

This third installment offers all those elements and more. The music has a lot to live up to, and while some of the songs are as good as any from the first two Zombies movies, not all of them hit the mark. So which Zombies 3 songs are as catchy as “Flesh and Bone” from Zombies 2, and which songs fall flat?...

Last month marked the 22nd anniversary of the iconic 1995 classic Se7en, which starred Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and marked a breakthrough role for a young actress named Gwyneth Paltrow. The role seems to be still very close to the actress' heart, since she paid homage to her character Tracy, the wife of Brad Pitt's character, Detective Mills, with an amazing Halloween costume that she showed off on Instagram earlier today. If you still haven't seen this classic thriller yet after 22 years, there will be Spoilers for the iconic ending, since it figures into her costume.

The movie centers on the seven deadly sins, gluttony, greed, sloth, envy, wrath, pride, and lust, which are being punished with unimaginable cruelty and calculation by an enigmatic killer. Set in a perpetually gloomy unnamed city, the film follows Somerset (Morgan Freeman), a retiring police detective, as he experiences his final week on the job,...

Ask any Outlander fan and they'll tell you without hesitation that there's nothing worse than the #Droughtlander. We're supposed to survive the many long months until next year without any new episodes of Outlander...it's only been two months since this show left our lives and we're already dying for more of Jamie (Sam Hueghan) and Claire's (Caitriona Balfe) epic love story. And now that Starz has announced that two of its series, new gritty ballet drama Flesh and Bone and returning series Da Vinci's Demons, will be released in full for binge-watching, we immediately wondered if the same would be true of Outlander! Could you imagine getting a full season of Outlander all at once?...

The renewal comes as the show's third season wraps production and goes to air in the first quarter of 2016 with Ray Stevenson joining this year in the role of Blackbeard.

Twilight Time brings the famed musical romance The Fabulous Baker Boys to Blu-ray for the first time, the late 80’s classic which snagged a small clutch of Academy Award nominations as it became one of the decade’s most iconic titles. Hailed by critics at the time for its disassociated ambience with the age of excess, the film still feels as equally unfettered to any particular period. The first of only two films to be directed by Steve Kloves, a striking casting is lorded over by an unforgettably scintillating Michelle Pfeiffer in one of her most notable early roles. The title’s sterling reputation may have outgrown the film’s quiet demeanor, a rarity in that it still remains difficult to succinctly classify. It’s exactly this resistance to not just two decades worth of cinematic expectation since it first wooed audiences, but also its challenge to our limited means...

Maybe not yet, but that’s the situation that’s brewing as Starz’s Power kicks off its second season.

Oh yeah and, unbeknownst to Ghost, his former mentor wants him dead.

With great power comes great responsibility. And with Starz’s Power comes the certainty that a major character won’t make it out of Season 2 alive.

The drama — which returns Saturday (9/8c) and follows drug boss/aspiring nightclub mogul James “Ghost” St. Patrick (played by Omari Hardwick) — will lose “someone that we have been invested in” this season, creator Courtney Kemp Agboh tells TVLine.

The credits may have rolled on Outlander‘s brutal Season 1 finale, but the aftershock of the violence against Jamie Fraser “definitely carries forward,” series creator and executive producer Ronald D. Moore says.

If you missed the episode, Moore is referring to Jamie’s repeated rape and emotional torture at the hands of Black Jack Randall, who was later taken out of the picture by Murtagh’s brilliant plan and a herd of cattle. (Full recap here.)

Deep breaths, everyone.

For months now, Outlander‘s Black Jack Randall, a sadistic Redcoat who makes Jeffrey Dahmer look like a mewling kitten in comparison, has had Jamie Fraser in his sights. In the season finale, Randall slakes his desire by taking command of not only the Scot’s body but also his soul.

I was gonna write, “The latter is harder to watch,” but that’s just not true. Both Jamie’s rape and its psychological aftereffects are horrifying, compelling, awful and expertly acted, and they provoke so many reactions/conversations,...

Ash Williams is finally reunited with his iconic weapon of choice in Starz’s new teaser trailer for Ash vs. Evil Dead, premiering this fall, and they’re both ready to pick up where they left off.

VideosFlesh and Bone Trailer: Starz Ballet Drama Shows the Dark Side of Dance

Based on Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell‘s film franchise, Ash vs. Evil Dead picks up 30 years after the events of 1981’s The Evil Dead; Ash (Campbell) is still coming to terms with what went down at the cabin, when he’s suddenly forced to go to war against an army of deadites.

The last time Outlander viewers spied Jamie Fraser, he was bloody, broken and likely hoping death would arrive swiftly, if for no other reason than to stop the tongue bath administered by his depraved nemesis, Black Jack Randall.

No, you didn’t read that wrong. The many indignities Fraser suffered throughout the series’ most recent episode included getting literally licked by his arch enemy — and life will get far, far worse for the strapping Scot before the season finale is over, star Sam Heughan says.

I have a feeling that the membership of Petjammf — that is, People for the Ethical Treatment of James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser — will have grown significantly by the end of this week’s Outlander.

How could it not, especially when Mr. Claire Beauchamp is nearly hanged, only to be saved by evil incarnate (aka Black Jack Randall), offered a terrible proposition and forced to relinquish the love of his life and then some in exchange for her safety?

It’s a rough hour, and I wish I could say it ends on a happy note, but most of us know that isna likely.

The suspense is over, fans of Chasing Life and Switched at Birth.

If you’ve ever watched Outlander‘s curmudgeonly Murtagh grumble his way through a scene and thought, “That character would be so much better if only he danced around a bit,” this week’s episode is for you.

“Flesh and Bone” apparently costs an arm and a leg. Season 1 of the upcoming Starz show proved to be more expensive than the premium TV channel’s typical limited-run series, and even on par with pricey undertaking “Black Sails.” Cost, logistics and creative challenges proved so taxing that Starz changed courses and elected to make “Flesh and Bone” a limited-run series as opposed to a standard seasonal one.

No specifics about the second season have been announced, and it’s unknown if Conroy or any other actors from the first season will be returning in new roles (seeing as The Missing is much more grounded than the campy American Horror Story, I’d guess not).

The show will also reunite original director Sam Raimi and producer Rob Tapert.

"I'm really excited to bring this series to the Evil Dead fans worldwide - it's going to be everything they have been clamouring for: serious deadite ass-kicking and plenty of outrageous humour," Campbell said.

Raimi added: "Evil Dead has always been a blast. Bruce, Rob, and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to tell the next chapter in Ash's lame, but heroic saga.

"With his chainsaw arm and his 'boomstick', Ash is back to kick some monster butt. And brother, this time there's a truckload of it.

Starz, "Hannibal" show runner Bryan Fuller and "Heroes" producer Michael Green are teaming for FremantleMedia North America's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 2001 award-winning urban fantasy novel "American Gods".

The drama deals with on a war brewing between old and new gods: the traditional gods of biblical and mythological roots, to an upstart pantheon of gods reflecting society’s modern love of money, technology, media, celebrity and drugs.

Starz has given the project a script-to-series commitment, with Fuller and Green attached to serve as show runners and executive produce alongside Gaiman. The project previously was in development at HBO, who ultimately passed on it.

'Gods' will now join Starz' increasing line-up of big-budget drama and genre projects like "Black Sails," "Da Vinci's Demons," "Power," and upcoming shows like "Outlander," "Flesh and Bone" and "The Missing".

Speaking of Gaiman, his long awaited video game "Wayward Manor" is finally set to go online on July 15th.

I hear the order is for 6 episodes. The project, written by O’Malley, had been on fast-track development and considered a front-runner for the Q4 slot that became open in December when Starz pulled out of its commitment to Sky Atlantic’s upcoming drama series Fortitude. Survivor’s Remorse, which had assembled a small writers room and had started preliminary casting for the two leads in anticipation of a series pickup, will debut next fall.

There was lots of high drama on the high seas for the premiere of Starz‘s new series Black Sails on Saturday night. Debuting at 9 Pm Et, the Michael Bay-produced Treasure Island prequel pulled in 846,000 viewers, down from the 1.04 million that Da Vinci’s Demons drew for its April 12, 2013, debut on the cable channel but better than the 819,000 who tuned in for 2011’s Torchwood: Miracle Day. While premiering on a Saturday as opposed to a Friday like Demons, Black Sails also did not have the advantage of the series finale of Spartacus: War Of The Damned as a lead-in as Demons did. On the bigger Starz sea, Black Sails did fare better than the launch of miniseries White Queen (457,000 for its preview and 418,000 for its premiere last August 17) as well as the now-cancelled Magic City (295,000) and Boss (659,000).

Starz has picked up a drama series called "Flesh and Bone" from "Breaking Bad" writer-producer Moira Walley-Beckett -- but the subject matter is far removed from the world of Walter White.

Hay appeared in "Black Swan" as a member of the ballet company, but this will be her first on-camera acting role.
