They developed their trademark sound labeled as drum'n'noise representing a complex architecture of hypnotic rhythms

that mix with pounding beats and heavy electronics to result in a violent distorted and blurring circle of noise.
Unfortunately on Monday, October 28, 2024, Eric De Vries passed away at the age of 65,

succumbed to a brain tumor less than two years after his initial diagnosis.

 Bruno Nicolai (20 May 1926 – 16 August 1991) was an Italian film music composer, orchestra director,

conductor, pianist and musical editor, most active in the 1960s through the 1980s.
While studying piano and composition at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome,

he befriended Ennio Morricone and formed a long working relationship,

with Nicolai eventually conducting for and co-scoring films with Morricone.

Morricone noted in an interview discussing the Dollars Trilogy:

"I chose a great musician and friend to be my conductor, Bruno Nicolai,

who conducted almost every score of mine from that point on until 1974.".
Nicolai also scored a number of giallo exploitation films and wrote many scores for director Jesús Franco.
Nicolai's compositions are characterized by their rich orchestration and innovative use of instruments, 

including bells, anvils, and whips, elements that became synonymous with the spaghetti western sound. 

He also explored various musical styles, from classical to avant-garde,

and was known for his work in library music, founding the labels Gemelli and Edi-Pan.
His work was also featured in Tarantino's films "Kill Bill: Volume 2" and "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood".
"All The Colors Of The Dark" (Italian: Tutti I Colori Del Buio) is a 1972 giallo film directed by Sergio Martino

and starring George Hilton, Edwige Fenech, Ivan Rassimov, Julián Ugarte, George Rigaud, Susan Scott and Marina Malfatti.

The film was also released under the alternate titles "Day Of The Maniac" and "They're Coming To Get You!".
