Khephra is an Italian black metal project created back in 1993.
Initially, their line up consisted of: Shadow (guitars), Andras (vocals) and Draughar (drums).
In 1996 before the recordings of their first demo, Shadow left the band for personal reasons and was replaced by Arioch.

Two years later their self titled demo was re-released as a MCD by Lucretia Records International.

After the release of their demo Arioch left the band and he was succeeded by Alastor.
With the new line Khephra recorded eight new songs but these were never published.
A very long period of silence was followed until 2010 when Khephra,

under a new line up and with only Draughar remaining from their original members,

managed to find a label and released their first full length album entitled "Resurrection".
During the period 2013-2019 two more albums and three split releases were published.

Cultus Sanguine is an Italian dark metal band formed in 1993 in Milan, Italy.
Their music is a weird and original mixture of doom metal, gothic metal and black metal,

with a very melancholic and depressive sound.
The band was founded as a duo in 1993, but soon after expanded featuring in their ranks Joe Ferghieph (vocals),

Aqua Regis (aka Roberto Mammarella of Monumentum on guitars, bass),

Ouranos (aka Mauro Berchi of Ras Algethi and Canaan on keyboards)

and Custos Arcanorum (Figli Di Nessuno, Khephra, Malanova, Speculum Mortis on drums).
After recording a rehearsal demo in 1994 they released their self titled MCD in 1995 through Wounded Love Records,

containing the same songs from their rehearsal plus an intro.
Later the same year keyboard player Rex Nebulah joined

before signing to Candlelight Records for their 1997 album "Shadows' Blood".

Following this release guitarist/bassist Aqua Regis and drummer Custos Arcanorum left the group,

and they were replaced by guitarist Aurian and drummer Nox Perpetua.
Their second full length album "The Sum of All Fears" was published by Season Of Mist in 1999

and the group disbanded in 2001.
In 2018 Cultus Sanguine was re-activated and working for the release of their third album.

The Memory Link contains as bonus the rehearsal demo tracks.

Bo Harwood & Lance Rubin – Happy Birthday To Me (1981)

Composers: Bo Harwood & Lance Rubin

Tracklist

1 - 19 Untitled 52:41

 

 Happy Birthday To Me is a 1981 slasher film directed by J. Lee Thompson,

(famous for the 1962 classic movie Cape Fear), and starring Melissa Sue Anderson and Glenn Ford.
Its plot revolves around six brutal murders occurring around a popular high school senior's birthday.
The movie was released theatrically in North America on May 15, 1981

and while reception was generally negative, it has since achieved a cult following.
Actress Melissa Sue Anderson, who had garnered childhood fame for her portrayal of Mary Ingalls

 on the television series Little House On The Prairie, was cast in the film's lead, marking her major feature debut.
Hollywood actor Glenn Ford, who played Jonathan Kent in Richard Donner’s Superman (1978),

was less-than-thrilled to be in a slasher film and apparently he was unpleasant on the set.
The make-up effects were done by special effects guru Tom Burman.
The film's ending was changed to hide the fact that the script was being rewritten so late in production.
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment released Happy Birthday To Me on DVD in 2004 with an entirely different,

uncredited musical score that diverged from the one used in the original cut.
On October 13, 2009, Anchor Bay Entertainment re-released the film on DVD with original musical score reintroduced.
Bo Harwood (known for his work on films directed by John Cassavetes) and Lance Rubin provided the film's score.

Syreeta Wright, one-time wife of Stevie Wonder, provided the eerie closing track,

composed by Lance Rubin that plays over the credits.
