Description

1987 UK press on Silva Screen Records

The second film in the Omen trilogy reunites composer Jerry Goldsmith with that mischievous, rambunctious kid Damien for what would prove the most experimental and challenging score in the series. Its otherworldly choral elements and discordant electronic effects boast a palpable sense of malice and dread. Goldsmith plainly relishes the opportunity to create such dark music. He takes his compositions from the first Omen film and makes them tighter, tougher and slicker, matching the killing machine mentality of the sequel. Themes like Broken Ice, Shafted and A Ravenous Killing positively luxuriate in their own unpleasantness, energized by the demon-spawn glee that lurks at the film’s core. If you have the soundrack to the first movie then you really need this one as well.
