‘Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham’ Soundtrack Released, Music by Stefan L. Smith
Composer and violist Stefan L. Smith’s score from the DC animated feature Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham is now available on all music platforms, released by Gardener Recordings. Smith has delivered a dark, dimensional score that will teleport listeners into the film's haunting, Elseworlds version of Gotham.
Directed by Christopher Berkeley and Sam Liu, the film is inspired by the comic book series of the same name that takes place in the 1920s, during which Bruce Wayne inadvertently releases an ancient, mystical evil that threatens the entire city of Gotham.
When asked about his score, Smith describes it as having an “almost carnal characteristic in its sound", highlighting that the Lovecraftian nature of the story called for music that would bring the viewer into “a world of extreme darkness and sonic depth”.
Smith continues, “This score isn’t for the faint of heart, but the beauty in its darkness is where it really shines. From the opening sequence to the end credits suite, be prepared for an intense journey and a sonic experience that may test your limits. I hope you enjoy my score to this extremely unique animated feature film, Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham.”
Smith’s music is a perfect tonal accompaniment to the work of Sam Liu, who directed the animated film, the newest addition to the Batman Universe. When creating the score for the Batman dynasty, Smith was up to the task.
The soundtrack is available to download here, and Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham is now available on Digital, 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray. For more information about the album release, please reach out to info@gardenerrecordings.com.
