Milan Records today releases Scavengers Reign (Original Max Series Soundtrack) by composer Nicolas Snyder. Available everywhere, the album features music written by Snyder for the first season of Max’s original sci-fi anime series.

Taking place on the fictional planet of Vesta, Scavengers Reign required a sonic palette befitting its out-of-this-world setting.
With sweeping orchestral melodies, regal piano themes, cerebral synthwork and moving vocal features, Snyder’s expansive 18-track collection pays homage to classic sci-fi scores while also providing an inimitable soundscape tailored to the series’ otherworldly setting.
Lauded by the New York Times as, “a lush, magnificent, hypnotic story of human survival,” the critically acclaimed first season of Scavengers Reign is available on Max.

Of the soundtrack, composer Nicolas Snyder says, « The score to Scavengers Reign was such a joy and privilege to create, and I’m so thrilled to finally welcome it into the world in soundtrack form.
This music was made to not only express each character’s interior landscape but also live symbiotically amongst the gorgeous and strange exterior flora and fauna that makes up the planet Vesta.
I’ve even asked the show’s sound designer, Axel Steichen, to thread some of the world’s atmosphere throughout the soundtrack. There’s a deep nostalgia embedded in the music that nods to many classic sci-fi scores of the past while ideally creating something that, as a whole, feels fresh and special.
I can sincerely say that nearly every aspect of this show was crafted with love and passion and the music is no exception. »

About Nicolas Snyder :

Nicolas Snyder is a Los Angeles-based composer, filmmaker, and sound artist. Synthesizing currents of organic texture, field recordings, digital manipulations and scavenged found sound with cinematic instincts and narrative sweep, Snyder’s compositions are intricate ambient studies that swirl with unpredictability and timbral invention.
Drawing upon personal spiritualities and interactions with the natural world, his work explores the spaces between universal constants and transcendental experiences, informed by nostalgic longing for past memories and a desire to reconnect with lives forgotten and unseen.

His personal releases include 2022’s Spell of Remembrance which the record label Evening Chants called, “A Sonic Recollection of Personal Divinity” and 2021’s Temporary Places which the artist called, “a musical conjuring of impressionistic landscapes that serve as an antidote to the loss of mobility, both mentally and physically.”
He is currently working on a new TV series soundtrack with Scavengers Reign creator Joe Bennett called Common Side Effects which will be released in late 2024.


The score from composer Nicolas Snyder is splendid, encompassing piano, Synths and vocals to often evoke the melancholy of the unknown and the poignancy of loneliness amidst the beauty and hostility of nature.
It sets the mood for the visuals perfectly.'
