'''''Watchmen (Music From The HBO Series)''''' was composed by [[Trent Reznor]] and [[Atticus Ross]]. The score ~~is being~~ was released digitally and on vinyl in three separate volumes, each with different cover art. Volume 01 was released November 4, 2019 on vinyl and November 6, 2019 on digital. Volume 02 was released November 25, 2017 on vinyl and November 27, 2019 on digital. Volume 03 ~~will be~~ was released December 16, 2019on vinyl and December 18, 2019 on digital. The three volumes collectively bear the number [[Null numbers|Null 10]], in keeping with [[The Null Corporation]]'s numbering system.

The official [[nin.com]] website reads:

===Volume 03===

~~TBA~~#"[[Doomsday Prepper]]" - 4:47#"[[Clockmaker]]" - 3:49#"[[A Man Walks Into An Intrinsic Field]]" - 1:34#"[[Splice Of Life]]" - 0:36#"[[No Rhythm]]" - 1:06#"[[The Waiting Sky]]" - 3:56#"[[The Way It Used To Be]]" - 3:41#"[[The Elephant In The Room]]" - 1:08#"[[Worthy Of The Badge]]" - 2:05#"[[Which Came First]]" - 2:18#"[[Stupid Panties]]" - 3:45#"[[A Stronger, Loving World]]" - 3:55#"[[Nothing Ever Ends]]" - 7:23#"[[Lincoln Tunnel]]" - 4:04#"[[Life On Mars?]]" - 2:53====Vinyl/digital conflict====The vinyl of Volume 03 does not include tracks 3, 10, 11, 14, and 15. It does, however, include a track not on the digital release, "[[Let Him Ride]]". Trent Reznor explained this with the following on nin.com: "You will notice there are a few tracks on the digital release that are not included on the vinyl. The simple truth of the matter is vinyl has a long lead time to manufacture and we weren't completely finished scoring the later episodes when the deadline came (and… Damon kept throwing things at us last minute!)."

==Miscellanea==

About the decision to release the score in three volumes, Reznor stated the following in an interview with ''Billboard'':[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]
