Kennesaw Composer and Singer Chris DeMarco releases cult movie soundtrack on VINYL

Kennesaw Composer and Singer Chris DeMarco's original soundtrack to 1988 cult action masterpiece, TROMA'S WAR has been released on VINYL

Ship to Shore PhonoCo, a New York-based independent record label, has released TROMA’S WAR. The remastered, never before available soundtrack, is now available on vinyl and digital in record stores nationwide and online at www.chrisdemarco.com.

With music produced, composed and performed by Chris DeMarco, directed by Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz, TROMA’S WAR tells the story of a group of marooned citizens who stumble upon a terrorist plot to take over the United States. With no help in sight and no way to contact reinforcements, it’s up to these ordinary people to save the world! A political satire of the glamorization of war in the 1980s, TROMA’S WAR is considered Troma’s “undiscovered masterpiece,” and the film celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2018. Chris DeMarco even has a brief role as a terrorist in one of the scenes.

Released in collaboration with Locked Groove Recording Co., a Colorado-based independent record label, the original motion picture score to TROMA’S WAR has been painstakingly remastered from the original master tapes by the composer at Dreamco Music Studios in Kennesaw, GA.
