The fourteenth track in the 'No-Budget Nightmares' b-folk series, where I write a song for one of the flicks the NBN crew is reviewing on their podcast!
"Combat Shock" is a flick that seems out of place in it's prolific parent catalogue. Known for gross out horror-comedies, Troma has made a name for itself thanks to The Toxic Avenger, Surf Nazis Must Die, and...hundreds of other amazing low-budget films. Combat Shock is not a gross-out horror comedy...it's actually an incredibly deep, harsh and disturbing introspective film looking at life with PTSD. Sure, Troma puts it's stamp on the film, but you don't go into this movie thinking "Time for a fun night!" Or you do...and leave it thinking "...what is worse...war, or life after war?"
By far the hardest film to write for. I didn't want to make light of the film (I never try to, I want to treat even the roughest film with respect) but I also didn't want to go too serious, so this song goes back to my roots: guitar, vocals, and hopefully something a bit pretty. Plus, after a series of full length multi layered songs, it was time for a simple 'Verse Chorus' mini-song like my earlier stuff for B-Folk!
