Celebrate Alien Day with New Limited Edition "Alien: Romulus" Vinyl and CD
For the first time, the score will be available on CD. The Vinyl features never before heard tracks.
In celebration of National Alien Day, Hollywood Records and 20th Century Studios have collaborated with Mutant to release two exclusive new musical releases highlighting Alien: Romulus.
What’s Happening:
- Variety exclusively reports that Alien fans will be able to pick up a limited edition vinyl and CD of Alien: Romulus’ terrifying score.
- Mutant, a collectible company, partnered with Hollywood Records and 20th Century Studios to create the The Romulus Suite EP and CD version of Benjamin Wallfisch’s score in celebration of Alien Day.
- Alien Day, which officially takes place on April 26th, gets its name from the LV-426 colony from James Cameron’s Aliens.
- The Alien: Romulus Suite EP is particularly special, as it features musical motifs not heard by fans.
- When scoring the film, Wallfisch produced a nearly 15 minute long suite of themes.
- Eventually, the suite was chopped up and stitched together for the film’s closing credits.
- For this new collectible vinyl, Wallfisch recreated his original suite, which will also include six previously-unheard musical cues.
- Of course, the collectible vinyl wouldn’t be complete without some horrifying details.
- Printed on “acid blood" colored 140 gram vinyl and packaged in a screen-printed clear poly sleeve, fans will be able to relive the tense, gravity-defying escape by Rain and Andy as they dodged gallons of floating Xenomorph blood.
