Description
"Techno Syndrome" is a electronic song composed by Oliver Adams and performed by the Belgian electronic music band The Immortals. It was released in October 1994 as part of Mortal Kombat: The Album and was used in the 1995 film Mortal Kombat, based on the fighting game series of the same name. Prior to its release in the album and use in the film, "Techno Syndrome" was accessible in the Sega CD version of the original 1992 game. The iconic "Mortal Kombat!" yell was sampled from a television advertisement for the original game, performed by Kyle Wyatt.

Remixes of the song were used in later Mortal Kombat media. A remix in the form of a rap song was produced and recorded by rapper Jace Hall to promote the series' 2011 reboot. Another remix, made by Belgian DJ Dimitri Vegas, was featured in an official launch trailer of Mortal Kombat 11. Another remix, titled "Techno Syndrome 2021," by British composer Benjamin Wallfisch was created for the 2021 film adaptation.

"Mortal Kombat Theme"


In "Mortal Kombat Theme," Ian Hecox mouthed the lyrics of "Techno Syndrome" while he and Anthony Padilla mimicked a typical Mortal Kombat fight to the tune of the beat. During the roll call segments, clips of the respective characters (played by Anthony Padilla) repeated onscreen. The video concludes with Ian defeating Anthony with a "Bicycle Kick" and Anthony defeating Ian by seemingly biting his head off and ends with the two bowing to each other during the closing gong noise.
