Coming in March 2025, Fantomacs presents an electrifying reinterpretation of Atli Örvarsson’s hauntingly powerful SILO main title. This cover version transforms the orchestral gravitas of the original score into an immersive, pulsating sonic electro journey—where deep cinematic textures meet the hypnotic energy of electronic music.

Lush orchestral elements weave through a dynamic soundscape of driving electro beats, echoing the legendary styles of Jean-Michel Jarre. Majestic strings and resonant brass collide with pulsating synth arpeggios, rhythmic basslines, and atmospheric textures to create a dystopian yet vibrant reimagination of SILO’s unforgettable theme.

Step into the underground… and feel the rhythm of the future.

The soundtrack cover song for “Mary” unfolds the emotional story of the young Mary in Nazareth with an impressive fusion of orchestral and electronic elements. Delicate string orchestral sounds trace her childlike purity and hope, while deep double basses embody her inner strength and determination in the face of adversity. The powerful tympani beat like an urgent heartbeat, reflecting the threat of Herod's tyranny that constantly hovers over her life. In contrast, immersive synthetic textures reminiscent of Jens Buchert create a spiritual, almost timeless dimension that hints at Mary's connection to something greater. The orchestral instruments, combined with the pulsating, lively electro beats in the style of Jean-Michel Jarre and St. Germain, paint a powerful soundscape that captures the deep emotions and dramatic tension of the young love between Mary and Joseph. This interplay creates a multi-layered, atmospherically dense sound experience that tells the captivating musical story of Mary's development under the burden of oppression.
