All Wounds Scream at Once

Short Synopsis: A woman haunted by tragic events, withdraws to an isolated family farm to heal. Instead her soul-crushing sorrow mutates into madness, murder and death.

Long Synopsis: In an isolated farm nestled far from civilization, a tormented woman grapples with the haunting memories of her past. The heart-wrenching loss of her husband and two young children in a devastating accident continues to plague her, manifesting as vivid hallucinations and haunting nightmares. As her grip on reality begins to slip, she finds solace in wandering the nearby woods.

During one of her walks, she crosses paths with a ruthless hunter who ambushes her, sparking a harrowing struggle for survival. Driven by instinct and desperation, she fights back against her assailant, ultimately ending his life. Fearful of the consequences, she conceals the hunter’s lifeless body in her barn, adding a dark secret to her already fragile existence.

Haunted by the weight of her actions, the woman’s hallucinations intensify, blurring the line between reality and her shattered psyche. Her isolation deepens as she grapples with her growing detachment from the outside world. As the hallucinations become more vivid, the woman’s grasp on the difference between the past and present becomes increasingly tenuous.

In this haunting psychological thriller, the woman’s battle for survival evolves into a visceral exploration of grief, guilt, and the fragile nature of the human mind. “All Wounds Scream At Once” is a gripping tale of one woman’s journey through darkness, where the past and present collide in a chilling crescendo of suspense and psychological tension.

Music

“All Wounds Scream at Once” will have the most kickass, ear drum bursting, skull-fucking soundtrack ever compiled for one film. Our ensemble of talent consists of some of the most brutal death/black metal and hard rock worldwide. From Australia, to Norway, to the U.S.—we’ve compiled a hard-hitting list that is way more worthy than a Decibel comp. Our bands are known for graphic lyrics, Satanic imagery, and serial killer groove. Since “All Wounds Scream at Once” IS horror—what extreme horror film would not go great with an extreme soundtrack? 

Essentially, this soundtrack is different than your run-of-the- mill OST. Extreme music is a passion of ours, and we believe that our heavier counterparts will be a different approach to what is commonly heard. Think of “Heavy Metal” only on crack/cocaine, and ready to set a Church On Fire! 

Vale of Pnath (pronounced “Noth”) is a Technical death metal band from Denver, Colorado formed in 2006. They are currently signed to Willowtip Records.[1] To date they have released two LPs and an EP.

Amenorrhea is a Death Metal band from South Florida whose aim is to keep the Old School Death Metal vibe alive. Their sound can be compared to the likes of Cannibal Corpse, Autopsy, Mythic, Entombed and Grave.

Heads for the Dead is an International Deathmetal band with Ralf Hauber (Revel In Flesh) on vocals and Jonny Pettersson(Ursinne, Wombbath, Henry Kane, Pale King) doing the musical performance.

Extreme melodic death metal five-piece DEFACING GOD command notice with their hauntingly dark and refreshingly honest debut album, The Resurrection of Lilith, out September 2, 2022 via Napalm Records. Formed by vocalist Sandie ‘The Lilith’ Gjørtz and co-founder Michael Olsson (drums) in 2015 and inspired by opulent Scandinavian metal traditions, DEFACING GOD base their conceptual themes on the seeping darkness that moves in us all – rooted in occultism and witchcraft, but primarily the mythologically mysterious female demon Lilith and her tales of fervent defiance and perseverance. Through their storytelling, music and aesthetic, the band pulls their listeners into a dark universe of obscure myths, folklore and ancient stories, all the while weaving in often subtle lyrical inspirations from modern societal oppressions and personal demons. Sonically, DEFACING GOD balance massive extreme melodies with a twist of grandiose orchestration by Lars Vinther, echoing the styles of artists such as Cradle of Filth, Carach Angren and Dimmu Borgir. But rather than blend it with a conventional dose of black metal, the band proudly merges these auras with infernal death metal. 
 

Norwegian rockers DANG!!! is formed around the core duo of Arne Thelin (ex Lust-O-Rama) and Stig Amundsen (ex Gluecifer) together with Håkon Gebhardt (ex Motorpsycho) and Håvard Takle Ohr (Kvelertak).

Kalvath is Dirty Death Metal from South of the River, Gosnells Western Australia

Maxime Tacciardi’s K.F.R. Since its creation, K.F.R has always been a way for me to put in sound what my paintings are about, what they have to say. A form of black metal completely freed of conventions and codes inherent to the style without forgetting the influence of the french scene. 

Pain/Ter is probably my most personal record both lyrically and musically. It deals with how I perceive Total Art, in the sense of Wagner (Gesamtkunstwerk) and my relation to pain and the Devil. The best way to listen to this album would be while staring at the cover and letting the smell of blood engulfing the room in total darkness to achieve some sort of synesthesia. 

Some parts of the album were recorded using frequencies known to cause anxiety, fear and distress. There is nothing pleasant here, nothing enjoyable for the sake of it. Black Metal is for me the quintessence of the true evil that lies within us all.

We have all the bells and whistles (equipment), we know all the ins and outs. This movie will get made. There is no chance of failure. Even if our farm house location burns down or our leading lady meets with an unfortunate accident…both can be replaced…well, maybe not Cory…but otherwise, risk is minimal. And this film will get distributed. Our films have been available on DVD and Blu-Ray and even Special Edition VHS. Our films streamed on Prime, Tubi, Vudu and just about any streaming service you can think of.  Again – this film will be made and this film will be seen!
