Joyful Noise Recordings will release a soundtrack album for the coming-of-age comedy Electric Jesus. The album features the score and songs from the movie, including the original tracks from the film performed by the fictional Christian hair metal band 316. Daniel Smith (aka Danielson) serves as the score composer and music producer. The soundtrack will be released digitally on February 26, 2021 and is available to pre-order here. A vinyl edition is also in the works. Electric Jesus is written and directed by Chris White and stars Judd Nelson, Brian Baumgartner, Shawn Parsons, Rhoda Griffis and Claire Bronson. The movie tells the story of a never-famous 1980s metal band that gets introduced to a flashy Christian Rock promoter who wants to take the band on the road for a summer of paid rock gigs, a shot at recording an album in Nashville and fulfilling the bands’ biggest dream – to open for Stryper. The comedy screened at several film festivals over the last couple of months and is expected to be released in 2021.
