Lakeshore Records is releasing two soundtracks for I, Frankenstein: There's the original score by Johnny Klimek, Reinhold Heil and Lisa Gerrard and then there's this one featuring ten songs written and performed by By Maker, featuring Geno Lenardo (Filter, Device) and Daniel Davies (Year Long Disaster)...

Fans of I, Frankenstein will be pleased to hear that Lakeshore Records have invested in two very different soundtracks for the movie. The score is available as a separate release, but this album features the music of By Maker (which was set up specifically to front the music for the film. By Maker is the collaboration between Geno Lenardo and Daniel Davies. Lenardo was the guitarist of Filter from 1995-2002. No stranger to writing songs for film, Lenardo contributed to the Underworld: Rise of the Lycans with string writing for the Alkaline Trio song 'Over and Out' and additional programming for The Cure’s 'Underneath the Stars.' He also contributed several original tracks to the Underworld: Awakening, including 'Heavy Prey' in collaboration with Flyleaf singer Lacey Sturm.

This is an enjoyable soundtrack - with a very heavy lean towards heavy rock. If you enjoyed the Underworld: Awakening soundtrack, then you'll get a blast from this release. For once, it's good to see that a movie uses one group to write the majority of the rock themes - it's a decision that pays off well.

In addition, there are three various artists tracks: 'Scream Where My Heart Should Be' - 8mm; 'Feed Me More' - Justin Lassen and Geno Lenardo feat. Prashant Aswani. The album contains 13 tracks (47 min).
