Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are no strangers to creating groundbreaking soundtracks, but they’re taking things to a whole new level with Watchmen by releasing three volumes of music featured in HBO’s new show.
The Nine Inch Nails members teased the news on social media, by sharing the release date for all three albums – November 4th, November 25th, and December 16th. They will come out as the series progresses and the final one will hit the shelves only a day after the Watchmen season finale.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have a long list of movie scores under their belt, and one Oscar win for their work on The Social Network. Watchmen is one of their rare joint TV credits, but they’ve always been on the top of Damon Lindelof’s wish list for his new show.
“They signed up on faith and faith alone. They get the scripts at the same time the actors do. They started writing the music even before we shot the pilot so we can get a sense in our heads of what it would sound like. It’s been incredible,” Lindelof told Entertainment Weekly.
