An epic, tense score that depicts darkness and conflict.
The original soundtrack for the film "The Dark Knight." Featuring heavy orchestrations co-composed by Zimmer and Howard.
The overwhelming score expresses the film's tense atmosphere through music. Electronic sounds and string instruments intertwine, portraying the twilight between darkness and order, as exemplified by tracks like "Why So Serious?" and "Aggressive Expansion." Zimmer's bass-heavy approach and Howard's lyrical melodies blend beautifully to create a dramatic sound experience. The vinyl reissue stands out for its richness.
