Alien: Romulus (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) accompanies the 2024 science-fiction horror film Alien: Romulus, directed by Fede Álvarez. The original score was composed by Benjamin Wallfisch, the British composer known for It, The Invisible Man, Blade Runner 2049 (with Hans Zimmer), and The Flash. His score combines orchestral tension and modern electronic sound design to support the film’s claustrophobic, high-stress survival-horror tone.
The soundtrack album was released digitally on August 16, 2024, via Hollywood Records, alongside the theatrical premiere of the film. The album contains 20 original score tracks with a total runtime of about 57 minutes and presents Wallfisch’s complete musical work for the movie. It is available on all major platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music, with a vinyl edition later issued by Mutant.
Musically, the score blends dark string writing, brass, and industrial-leaning electronic textures, reinforcing the feeling of isolation, danger, and constant threat in deep space. Wallfisch also references the musical legacy of the franchise — particularly Jerry Goldsmith’s Alien (1979) and James Horner’s Aliens (1986) — while creating new themes unique to Romulus.
