That choir was TERRIFYING

I'm talking about the mutated humans taking off their masks to reveal their hideously deformed faces, before bursting into song en masse to worship the Bomb they have in their "church".

I mean, the sight was bad enough, but the musical notes, keys and chords were all completely off, like a nightmare version of the original tune, and it all sounded horrible. Of course, the mutants will never know how it originally sounded, but this, to them, is acceptable! MADNESS!

I love the soundtrack played by the mutants. I even had that played at my wedding. Everyone loved it too

You got no taste in music then

Oh please, don't say that 😅

Notice also the door paneling of the church forms four inverted crosses. The scene plays out as a sort of black mass.

Nonetheless, they sounded great, despite underground in a cave. Think of how much better it would have sounded if they were outside
