Mutant, in partnership with Hollywood Records and 20th Century Films, is proud to present the premiere physical edition of Mark Korven’s terrifying score to THE FIRST OMEN.
Combining the inventive and dynamic instrumentation he is best known for, Mark Korven (THE WITCH, THE LIGHTHOUSE) has created a truly unsettling and powerful score to this new chapter to the legendary series. Jerry Goldsmith’s Academy Award® winning score for the original 1976 classic THE OMEN is a totemic work of horror cinema. The film is the only time a horror film has ever won an Oscar for its score. Korven clearly knows he has big shoes to fill, because he takes his scoring style to powerful new heights with this brilliant work.
“A lot has changed since 1976, but one thing that hasn’t is that horror scores deserve to be played as loud as possible, on vinyl, from your home stereo.” Says Mo Shafeek, co-founder of Mutant. “It helps that Mark Korven is one of our favorite working composers. His score to THE FIRST OMEN is an incredible achievement and a fitting inclusion in one of the most important legacies of Horror filmmaking.”
Pressed on two 140gram color vinyl discs, housed in printed inner sleeves, contained within a die-cut jacket, this debut physical release will be available for pre-order beginning April 5th on Mutant’s webstore madebymutant.com
