Blade (1998) is the first installment in the Blade film series, starring Wesley Snipes in his signature role as the iconic vampire hunter. The film kicked off not only the Blade franchise but Marvel’s incredible run translating their iconic stories to the big screen. Mark Isham was asked to score Blade with a combination of influences from hip-hop (Snipes’ preference) to English electronica (favored by the director). A jazz trumpeter who excelled in film due to his uncanny sense of cinematic mood, Isham blended those genres with synthesizers, orchestra and choir into what is, by comic book film standards, an unusually subtle yet powerful and dramatic score.
2LP - Varèse Sarabande presents the first-ever vinyl release of Mark Isham’s Deluxe Edition score for 1998’s Blade, starring the iconic Wesley Snipes as the human-vampire hybrid superhero. The film’s critical acclaim and box office success made it Marvel’s first successful film project, setting the stage for a new era of comic book adaptations. This 2-LP vinyl set comes in a gatefold jacket featuring brand-new art by acclaimed illustrator Micha Huigen.
