Oleg Karpachev - Sputnik O.S.T. Oleg Karpachev

Released for the first time on any format, soundtrack to the 2020 sci-fi horror film 'Sputnik' (Dir. Egor Abramenko). The bleak and hauntingly atmospheric film is accompanied by an impressively heavy soundtrack from Oleg Karpachev, who uses bombastic percussion, stirring strings, and otherworldly synths to convey the horror unfolding on screen.Set during Cold War Soviet Russia, the ominous film starring Oksana Akinshina (Bourne Supremacy), Fedor Bondarchuk, and Pyotr Fyodorov Jr follows the story of a cosmonaut returning from space with a mysterious extraterrestrial organism; essential viewing for those with a penchant for "Alien"-style body horror.Immense orchestral dissonance with an industrial edge. File next to Steven Price, Hans Zimmer, Ben Frost...

“The music is grand, on a scale that makes it have this otherworldly feel to it. It feels like exploring something new, and it has that epic adventurous tone in the defining scenes, though it does change for the horror-related content, and often in pleasingly loud and intense ways”

“The atmosphere was built tremendously in a large majority of the scenes and something that contributed massively to this was the soundtrack. On its own, it was designed to strike fear into the viewer and fill them with dread throughout -something that was accomplished with ease. At times it was dark and sinister, largely leaving you with the sensation that something terrible was capable of happening at any given moment” (Horror Reviews By The Collective). “As technically lustrous as any big budget Hollywood blockbuster, with Oleg Karpachev's dramatic score adding a significant extra layer of production value.” (The Movie Waffler)
