Waxwork Records is thrilled to present the original soundtrack for the film HOKUM, composed by Joseph Bishara. Written and directed by Damien McCarthy, HOKUM stars Adam Scott and tells the story of a misanthropic author who travels to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes. He then finds himself trapped in a haunting mystery involving an abandoned honeymoon suite, a local witch legend, and his own troubled past. Upon its release, the film was praised for its unsettling and lingering dread, its atmosphere, and its character-driven horror. It explores themes of grief, Irish folklore, and childhood trauma. Joseph Bishara is an American composer, music producer, and actor, best known for his compositions for films such as Insidious, The Conjuring, Malignant, and Annabelle. After a childhood steeped in classical music, Bishara turned to electronic and experimental music, developing a particular interest in groups like Tangerine Dream. He became passionate about horror film scores after seeing The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Nosferatu. Joseph Bishara is recognized for his avant-garde style and unique approach to instrumentation and composition, especially suited to horror films. His music for HOKUM is driven by dark, dissonant strings, unsettling electronic sounds, and haunting vocal choirs that gradually intensify, establishing a persistent sense of terror. A recognized expert in sound design, Bishara fully exploits this art, seamlessly integrating its elements into the composition of HOKUM. The result is a deeply immersive sonic experience where the sound design does not merely accompany the music but amplifies it, enveloping the listener in an oppressive atmosphere that echoes the film's dangerous subject matter. Waxwork Records is proud to present the original soundtrack for the film HOKUM, composed by Joseph Bishara, in a deluxe vinyl box set. This box set includes a blood red and black marbled vinyl, a lenticular front cover bringing "Jack the Donkey" to life on a television screen, thick gatefold sleeves with matte UV varnish, printed inner sleeves, and exclusive artwork by Dane Hallett. Hallett has notably worked on the design and art direction for franchises such as Alien, Mad Max, Predator, and Mortal Kombat.
