Everybody say “Thank you, Brian Taylor”

I made this playlist to fit the new Hellboy movie, Hellboy: The Crooked Man. The story is set in the Appalachian woods, so I picked songs that had a deep woods, folk horror vibe to them. Okay, the first track, “I Stand Alone”, maybe not so much, but I can still picture Hellboy venturing on his own to this song. I thought Danzig had a great sound that matched the story, especially with “Deth Red Moon”. Same with Pixies’ “I Bleed”, which plays a little lighter and goes well as you walk peacefully through the woods. No Breaking Benjamin songs this time, but I do have Black Sabbath and Deftones returning. Sabbath’s “Hand of Doom” obviously matches Hellboy’s own right hand, but also lyrically matches with the character of Tom Ferrell as the story focuses on him returning home and facing The Crooked Man. “Whatcha gonna do?”, ”Time's caught up with you”, ”Now you wait your turn”, “You know there's no return”. I chose the Renholder Remix of “Hole in the Earth” because it’s a much slower version and represents The Hurricane, the location where The Crooked Man reigns over. Both “Sister Rust” and “Wild Branch of Rose” fit the character of Cora Fisher, a witch who sold her soul to The Crooked Man. Probably influenced by its usage in Preacher, but I felt “Sweet Thing” was a great song to wrap up the story with. Of corse the final song, the credit song if you will, is Live’s “I Alone” which once again puts Hellboy at the mercy of fate as he continues on his way to another adventure. As of yet, we still haven’t seen anything from the new movie, but it’s still my number one most anticipated film of the year.
