Believers in the power of suspenseful music to amplify horror cinema are in for a treat as Hollywood Records gears up to release the original soundtrack for the anticipated supernatural prequel, “The First Omen.” Set to send shivers down the spines of horror enthusiasts; the album showcases the eerie compositions of the distinguished Mark Korven and a tribute to the legendary Jerry Goldsmith.
With a background in creating memorable and unsettling scores for films such as “The Witch” and “The Lighthouse,” Korven’s expertise is palpable in his latest work. His score for “The First Omen” seamlessly integrates into the Horror filmmaking canon. The soundtrack also pays homage to Jerry Goldsmith’s masterful “Ave Satani” from the original 1976 “The Omen” film. Goldsmith’s score remains a historic piece in horror cinema, having earned him his first and only Academy Award for a horror film’s score. From the supernatural undertones of “The Black Phone” to the sci-fi edges of “The Peripheral,” Korven’s range as a composer will surely contribute to a deeply immersive experience for the viewers of “The First Omen.”
“The First Omen” is a journey into darkness centered on a young American woman’s experiences in Rome. Her service to the church leads her to confront an alarming conspiracy with ties to a prophecy of evil incarnate. The film features Nell Tiger Free as Margaret, with an ensemble of acting talents like Ralph Ineson as Father Brennan, Bill Nighy, Sonia Braga, and Tawfeek Barhom contributing to a compelling narrative. With Arkasha Stevenson at the directorial helm, the movie brings a fresh perspective while maintaining the essence of the chilling series.
“The First Omen” delves into unsettling themes that question faith and face demonic influences. The film builds upon the dark legacy of “The Omen” series and is expected to resonate with audiences through its haunting score and engaging storytelling.
The “The First Omen” soundtrack promises a promising prelude to the horror that awaits. Fans are invited to indulge in Mark Korven’s latest work, which marks a new chapter in one of the most esteemed lineages of horror filmmaking. It is available on Amazon, Apple Music and Spotify.
