'''''Watchmen (Music From The HBO Series)''''' was composed by [[Trent Reznor]] and [[Atticus Ross]]for season one of the show. The [[soundtracks|score ]] was released digitally and on vinyl in three separate volumes, each with different cover art. The three volumes collectively bear the number [[Null numbers|Null 10]], in keeping with [[The Null Corporation]]'s numbering system. The release dates were as follows:
*Volume 01: November 4, 2019 (vinyl), November 6, 2019 (digital)
*Volume 02: November 25, 2017 2019 (vinyl), November 27, 2019 (digital)
*Volume 03: December 16, 2019 (vinyl), December 18, 2019 (digital)
==About==
Reznor and Ross became involved by reaching out to the show's creator:[https://variety.com/2018/music/news/trent-reznor-and-atticus-ross-film-scores-nine-inch-nails-1203012287/]
 
<blockquote>We reached out to Damon and the HBO camp when I first heard about it, because I’ve been a fan of Damon since ''Lost''. I was completely blown away by ''The Leftovers''. Also, as a big fan of ''Watchmen'' [in other incarnations], I appreciated the fearlessness that taking on that property and that IP would require. I thought, if anybody was to do it at any place, HBO and Damon sounds exciting to me. I’ve never done TV, but needless to say, it’s been a great several years for television, and long-form storytelling is exciting. So I told our agent, “Hey, let him know that we’d be definitely interested in working on that.” The next thing I know, we’re in a meeting with Damon, and we were all-in.</blockquote>
 
The nin.com statement about the release reads:
<blockquote>"Three unique LPs specifically timed to be released throughout the first season of HBO's ''Watchmen''. Created in collaboration with the show's writers, each LP features the score from Academy Award winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross as well as artwork and packaging exclusive to this vinyl release that explores the culture of Watchmen America and provides revealing insights into the saga's mythology and mysteries."</blockquote>
About the decision to release the score in three volumes, Reznor stated the following:[https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8542712/trent-reznor-interview-old-town-road-watchmen]
<blockquote>"Well, we had quite a bit of music. And we decided to do something fun with the way it’s released. I think that putting out an hour and a half of music today is like throwing it out the window -- it’s asking too much of a kind of short attention span audience that we’ve all become. So breaking it up into chunks felt like something we wanted to do.
And I don’t mean to be too cheeky about it, but I think that when the first record comes out, it’ll make more sense why we split it up into three pieces. It’s just something that feels very ''Watchmen '' to us. It’s fun, and a cool way to get music out and be part of the story. I don’t mean to be oblique here, but it’ll make more sense when you hear it."</blockquote>
Reznor and Ross also created the theme for the end credits of the show, which is a mashup of three tracks from Volume 01: "Nun With A Motherf*&*ing Gun", "Never Surrender", and "Owl Hunts Rat". An extended version of this composition was posted to the official [[Nine Inch Nails]] YouTube channel.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQBmALfSFEU]
==Vinyl presentation==
The vinyl versions of each volume are referential to in-world content from the series, and each one is detailed with faux artwork, artists, tracklistings, and credits. The actual release title and artists are only present on stickers stuck to the shrinkwrap. The actual production credits for the vinyl releases were only provided on press cards included with some promotional copies sent to the press. The music actually contained on them is the same as above. '''Volume 03 does not contain any NIN songs, only references.''' There are references to ''Twin Peaks''/[[David Lynch]], [[David Bowie]], and [[Coil]] in the artwork. ''Twin Peaks'' and Lynch are referenced with "The Nine Inch Nails" (mentioned in/on all three volumes), which is the name given to NIN when they appeared on ''Twin Peaks: The Return'', "Owl Cave Music" (in the faux credits of Volume 02), and "Crazy Klown Time". Bowie is referenced with "We Can Be Heroes" (title of side one of Volume 02), "Plastic Soul", and the instrumental cover of "Life On Mars?" that appears on the factual, digital version of Volume 03. Coil is referenced with "Last One Out Turn Off The Lights" which is a message etched in the deadwax on the vinyl version of the Coil album ''Musick To Play In The Dark Vol. 2''.
