The Laze Release The Strangler's Cord Video

(Prog) The Laze have premiered their video for The Strangler's Cord, taken from their rescoring of 1925 movie The Phantom Of The Opera. The band brought Rupert Julian's acclaimed film back to life with all-new music.

Bassist-vocalist Daev tells Prog: "This scene is the climax of the the movie - also known to ardent cinemagoers as 'The End.' So if you haven't seen this film before perhaps you would like to close your eyes and simply listen to our balls-out score. It's a rather emotional, fast-paced and violent finale, and we attempted to reflect that with electric guitars, drums, sax, violins and synthesisers. We hope you find yourself feeling as fearful as Christine, as relieved as Raoul and as demented as The Phantom."

He adds: "The film was re-scored by none other than Rick Wakeman in 1990. That was by no means our inspiration - merely a coincidence. Great minds think alike!"
