2. Jerry Goldsmith – Ave Satani [The Omen]
There is no way around it, Maybe a too obvious and unexciting choice, but it’s not without reason. A work of a complete genius! It’s actually a bit hard for me to pick a favourite piece from this soundtrack, but all in all the main theme encapsulates its dissonance and darkness in a perfect way. I remember when I saw this on tv during my impressionable mid-teen black metal phase and was floored by both the movie and sound. The next day I was immediately on the phone with Kim Sølve (fellow Three Winters member) and asked, “Did you catch The Omen on tv last night??”, which he had. The rest of the conversation was about the soundtrack and it ended up with me ordering two copies of it, one for him and one for me.
