Pre-Cert by Videogram

With his 2015 Cineploit debut, Videogram set out to further and improve the concept of the previous "S/T" 2014 album, innovating the horror synth genre by adding new instrumentation and injecting the VHS-inspired sound with a wider selection of influences.

Starting off with the now-familiar and trademark Videogram idents, "Pre-Cert" covers an assortment of classic genre-influenced sounds; from occult horror, 1980s Cannon action, thrillers, and post-apocalyptic ballads to "cannibal freakouts", Italian-produced erotica, 1970s Spanish horror and the iconic Friday the 13th series.

Hailed by fans, press, the international horror community, including collectible manufacturer NECA, as well as the music industry itself - One Way Static Records pronounced it a ’classic in the making’, and the LP/CD was made part of UK distributor Code 7's 'Best Albums of 2015' series - with ’Pre-Cert’, the journey Videogram started in 2014 took a huge step forward, offering the same amount of affection for the VHS format and genre sounds as his previous efforts, with a more focused, polished and well-executed sound!

"This really is a love letter to a bygone age. A love letter that is written in blood by someone in an asylum who has just murdered a dozen high school kids in a series of gratuitous, ingenious and perverted tableaux. Its Jan (Bloody) Hammer set loose in the chop shop with Jason for company. Way to go!!!"

Often imitated, never duplicated, Videogram is the original 1980s VHS-inspired horror synth project and brainchild of Swedish composer/producer Magnus Sellergren.
