GODZILLA, MOTHRA AND KING GHIDORAH: GIANT MONSTERS ALL-OUT ATTACK! – The ultimate kaiju battle royale set to a live score by BLACK LODGE.

NOTE: This is a live music event creating a new film score for GODZILLA: GMK. The film will be played silent with subtitles.

Godzilla can be surprisingly morally ambiguous for a giant, rampaging hell-monster. Sometimes he’s nice and saves kids from crab monsters and pollution creatures; sometimes he’s more of a neutral force of nature; and then sometimes he’s just an evil spirit of vengeance hellbent on blowing up absolutely everything. This last mode is how we find Big G in the ridiculously titled Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack!

With his eyes clouded white and his mouth locked in a hateful snarl, Godzilla blows through GMK like a typhoon, blasting through the army and three of his most famous opponents with atomic breath that hits like a damn H-bomb. Thin on just about everything but amazing displays of destruction, GMK is all-out monster mayhem front to back.

For this Live Sound Cinema presentation, we’ve invited drone-y metal outfit Black Lodge (a collective of musicians led by guitarist/composer Geoff Gersh) to provide an appropriately loud live-score to one of Godzilla’s best battle royales.
