Nosferatu Waxwork Records Release Details

In partnership with Sacred Bones Records, Waxwork Records is excited to present an exclusive variant of NOSFERATU Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Robin Carolan. Set in the 1800s, Nosferatu allowed Carolan to incorporate contemporary instrumentation, though he made a deliberate effort to ensure the score didn't sound overly modern. Letty Stott, who also worked on The Northman, contributed ancient horns and pipes, enhancing the soundtrack's eerie atmosphere. Additionally, percussionist Paul Clarvis custom-built a toaca-like instrument for added authenticity.

Carolan's inspirations for the soundtrack were as eclectic as they were profound. He frequently drew upon the works of Bartok and Coil, while films like The Innocents, Angels and Insects, and Eyes Wide Shut provided cinematic inspiration. Additionally, he explored the more obscure side of Hammer Horror soundtracks and found a deep connection to the music of the Ukrainian film The Eve of Ivan Kupalo, which helped shape the score's otherworldly tone. With Daniel Pioro, one of Britain's most exciting young classical musicians, at the helm as the orchestra leader and first chair for a vast majority of the recording, the soundtrack features a vast orchestration, including 60 string players, a full choir, various horns and woodwinds, a harpist, and two percussionists. 

NOSFERATU Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Features:
  • The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Robin Carolan
  • 2xLP Clear with Oxblood Splatter Colored Vinyl
  • Gatefold Jacket
  • Printed Inner Sleeves
  • Die-Cut Poster
