NICOLAS SNYDER Vinyl & CDs

Review: The Scavengers Reign soundtrack, composed by Nicolas Snyder, in its first physical format is now released to the delight of fans. This 140-gram vinyl comes in a sleek gatefold sleeve with an acetate slipcover, accompanied by a folded A2 poster showcasing striking artwork from the series. The Mondo-exclusive colour variant is inspired by a memorable moment from Season 1, Episode 3, adding a special touch for collectors. Set on the alien world of Vesta, Scavengers Reign required a score that could capture the planet's eerie beauty and the characters' survival journey. Snyder's 18-track collection expertly balances lush orchestral arrangements, intricate piano motifs, ethereal synths, and haunting vocal layers. His music nods to classic sci-fi scores while creating an entirely new atmosphere, perfectly fitting the show's unique setting. Snyder describes the project as deeply rewarding, with the music designed to reflect both the internal emotions of the characters and the alien environment they inhabit. Collaborating with sound designer Axel Steichen, Snyder weaves the planet's soundscape directly into the soundtrack, adding an extra layer of immersion. This carefully crafted album, mastered by Darren Page, blends nostalgia and innovation for an unforgettable audio journey.
