The original motion picture soundtrack for Alien: Romulus is now available from Hollywood Records.

Hollywood Records has released Alien: Romulus (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) by BAFTA® and Grammy®-nominated composer Benjamin Wallfisch on digital platforms, coinciding with the film’s premiere. The soundtrack is also available to pre-order now on vinyl, courtesy of Mutant and will include 6 bonus tracks.

Wallfisch reflects on the score:

 “It was an honor to work with Fede Álvarez and my love for the original films made it a joy to contribute to this iconic franchise. By immersing myself in the musical legacy of Horner and Goldsmith, the aim was to embody the tone of what came before while creating fresh elements through a fusion of electronics and traditional orchestral textures. The score is a reflection of the film’s complex characters and the eerie, tension-filled atmosphere of deep space, blending new techniques with the timeless sound of the Alien universe.”

In addition, Hollywood Records has released its newest episode of their music docuseries, The Big Score. In this episode, composer Benjamin Wallfisch delves into his exhilarating score for Alien: Romulus. Wallfisch, known for his orchestral mastery and innovative blend of electronics, explores how his love for film music and orchestral giants like Stravinsky, shape his unique approach. He shares insights on crafting themes that interweave human and alien elements, using silence as a powerful tool, and experimenting with choir and complex sound design. Watch the episode below:
