Mutant, in partnership with Hollywood Records and 20th Century Studios, are proud to present the premiere physical release of Benjamin Wallfisch’s score to Alien: Romulus.

It is hard to overstate just how successful, on every level, Alien: Romulus and its score are at returning longtime fans to the world Ridley Scott, Dan O'Bannon, Jerry Goldsmith (and so many other brilliant artists) created back in 1979. But spend just a few minutes with Benjamin Wallfisch's masterful score, and you can feel the attention to detail in the craft of every choice.

Doing the impossible task of bridging the gap between sequels and prequels, Wallfisch takes the dissonant, atonal and truly horrifying soundscapes that Goldsmith defined the genre with, and makes peace with the melodies and monsters of subsequent films - all while making his own voice heard throughout. A truly remarkable piece of film music.

This limited edition physical release features liner notes by director Fede Álvarez, and original artwork by illustrator Kilian Eng, continuing his on-going Alien soundtrack series and is pressed on 2x 140gm vinyl.

Pre Order tomorrow at 12pm CT at madebymutant.com

happy days. :) this is not the greatest Alien soundtrack of all time, as it has a bit too many echoes of prior works (a bit like the film), but it's still good enough. :thumbs: and anyway, i need it to continue my Alien soundtrack vinyl collection! :woot:


the main artwork is perfectly nice, but it lacks a bit of detail, something to really grab the interest. but it still feels appropriately claustrophobic :blackalien::

the vinyl discs are particularly nice colours, with smoky tendrils winding through:

i think i slightly prefer the soundtrack in the Alien cannon to the film! still available at time of writing on both vinyl and also CD.
