This isnt just the sound of death. Its the sound of violent death, unnatural death, an unnatural burial. This is as unsettling as it gets. This is unrest. Unpeaceful. Earth and bones with never meet again. This is by far the most disturbing scene Ive ever seen.
@@RedOffline2 The composer used many sounds taken from Chernobyl's twin in Lithuania - Ignalina Power Plant. So yes, we do in fact hear a bit of Lithuania in here.
The sounds were recorded at the Ignalina power plant in Lithuania, it was Chernoby's sister plant and nearly identical. Pretty sure a lot the scenes were filmed there as well which is why everything was so accurate in the show
It might be a synth, actually. However, given how the composer actually got field recordings from a nuclear plant, I'd guess it's actually some metallic sound which has been electronically manipulated/enhanced.

That bit is actually inaccurate. Those with severe radiation poisoning became very immunocompromised and healthy individuals could easily worsen their condition.
I tried to recommend this series to a friend of mine... he asked why would he watch a show about Chernobyl if he already knows that it exploded and a bunch of people died... I summarized the first 3 episodes like this: This shows that a catastrophe like Chernobyl could have only happened in the Soviet Union... and that only the Soviet Union could have solved a catastrophe like Chernobyl...
This sound afflicted me too much. The sound of despair, the sound of tragedy, the sound of... death. Also, as many comments said this, when they discharge the concrete, it's like they sealing their souls because even at the stage, they remain dangerous. Chernobyl when you see this sound like a tragedy play, no matter what they doing, they're sentenced by the fate. Very sad.
3yrs old, but if I may ... I was in my early teens when Chernobyl happened. Living in South - East England, meant we weren't affected as much as those mire to the north, due to how the weather patterns where. But it really didn't make an impact until children my age where arriving to be treated primarily for leukaemia ... then it really hit just how bad it was ... And of course the public panicked over the development of any further nuclear plants, not least Sizewell 'B' ... but those people failed to understand the huge differences in that reactor design, and of a RMBK. If you wanted a reactor core that, under the right conditions, acted more like a radiological bomb, the Soviet design was it ...
@@TheGoodDoctorSND To all the 32, or so, that Chernobyl is said to have directly killed, including the two brave souls whom, blaming themselves for dropping the graphite-tipped control rods (which they didn't know where like that), then went and opened all the water valves per hand, as _that_ bastard demanded cooling water through the - now - virtually non-existent reactor. ... then there was the poor soul whom was practically ordered at gun point to look over the railing, directly into the open reactor. Being a nuclear engineer himself, he knew _exactly_ the hell he was looking into. Truthful or not, had that been me, I would've contemplated jumping over the side, saving myself from the Acute Radiation Sickness to come ...
Even more chilling than this scene was the mention of Khodemchuk, the plant worker who never made it out of the wreckage. It said "Valery Khodemchuk's body was never found. It is permanently entombed beneath reactor 4." That lines send chills racing up and down my spine. Somewhere, beneath over more than 10,000 tons of steel, sand, boron, and radioactive rock is the decayed skeleton of a man...All but forgotten by time. His bones will never see the light again. Lost and buried for all eternity....
@@idream9308 that core was exposed and was pumping out pure death for months and would have destroyed half of Europe and effected the whole world. In the end we couldn't stop it, you can't put it out, That core's fire happens at an atomic level so all we could do is lock it up so it doesn't destroy anything else, but it's still in there. So yes, we created nuclear power and now there is no turning back. By the way I'm no anti nuclear energy guy, but it scares me deeply to think of shit like this.
One of the best things that makes this series very complete is, undoubtedly, the soundtrack. Amazing. 10/10. First series that leaves my father awake until 12 a.m. I waited so long for this...
Remember, remember the lessons to preserve the future of the planet and our children. Never forget what ignorance can damage. Amazing HBO miniseries but not only we enjoy it as viewers but as living victims and sufferers.
this accident affected so many lives. millions. i was born in gdr and the 1990's in primaryschool they teached us not to collect mushrooms or eateble berrys and stuff. as a child i didnt understand but later...
That scene scared the hell out of me. I asked my dad if it really would have glowed like that because he is a nuclear power engineer. I vaguely knew about Cherenkov radiation but I wanted to know if the show was just exaggerating. He pulled out pics that he took when he did time in his first nuclear plant after getting out of the navy in the late 80s. They had pics of fuel rods glowing such an unearthly blue I felt chills. I have no idea how they got those pics but he looked at it, chuckled, and said "oh yeah we turned the lights off for that one".
This music is really moving . It is at the same time empathic, sensitive, heavy, terryfiying and transports the feeling of hopelessness and falling from a great height. It suppprts perfectly several of the strongest and most disturbing scenes of the show: Anatoly Sitnikov's extremly well played roof scene (Episode 1), the evacuation scene (Episode 2) and the concrete burying (Episode 3). When you hear the first notes of the choir you know, something terrible will happen.
An interesting fact, the sound in the whole soundtrack was recorded from noises inside an actual (now decommissioned) nuclear power plant. How haunting is that! :S
@@chronic_johnson_a.r.a.b According to the podcast interview I linked above that's not the case. She recorded hours and hours of noices she heard there and used them in compositions, mixed heavily of course.
Ooh I heard something about that. So a while ago the Tate modern in London decided to make an immersive experience where they would put some kind of sensor in a yeast reactor and let it run, and they would play the really bassy sound through huge ass speakers and it sounded similar to this
Yes, i was a volunteer for our local government hospital, during COVID. I worked From April to September 2020. My job was to load the packed dead bodies onto the trucks and sanitising the facilities. I was wearing clothes like this guy in the picture (ours was white and blue), even our sanitisation equipment looked the same. I was kind of like the Chernobyl atmosphere... they must have felt the same things that i was feeling... Now that i think about it, in a way i did connect to those Chernobyl liquidators in lots of ways...
OMG the music is great on this show. The song they were playing at the end of episode 4 (tonight's episode) when they were going through the nursery and the mother was sitting next to the empty crib, and then continuing over the end credits was absolutely beautiful. Mourning, dark, chilling...what a masterpiece for that scene!
That ending aesthetic... you can see the soul draining hopelessness as the concrete closes in forever. The entire production is artistic genius and an excellent tribute to those who endured.
Well said. That concrete scene made me think for hours. Soul draining hopelessness, indeed... Just try to imagine how she must have felt like. And the fate of those firefighters. The solitude of being "something else", to die alone of something that nobody understands, and to be buried in concrete, castaway for all eternity. Its chilling in the most horrifying way, and this soundtrack portrays this masterfully.
I am so fascinated how well this show is done. My full verdict will come after the final episode ofc, but I am already happy for the dedication and attention to detail went into it. Three cheers! Excellent! :)
Me too, I thought it would just focus of incompetence and Soviet political farce. And it does, but it also does a great job of honoring the bravery and sacrifice of those involved. The great human drama for those at all levels of society.
..True.. I found the original evacuation allarm and I can assure you, they took for the serie a female speaker with a very similar voice to the original !!! It's incredible
Самое страшное, когда живёшь на Троещине, куда эвакуировали многих припятчан, а ещё где-то недалеко живёт настоящая Людмила Игнатенко торгует нелегально булочками.
This soundtrack somehow fits the feeling I always had, thinking about all the tragic loss this event caused. And the haunting feeling of knowing the invisible killer still lurks in every tree and blade of grass surrounding that place.
For any of you wondering about the "horn" sound I think it could easily be a synthesizer, however, given how the composer of this series actually got field recordings from an actual nuclear plant, my guess would be that the horn sound is actually metal being scraped/rattled (like heavy sheets of metal giving way and collapsing) and then later manipulated electronically. It reminds me of some parts of the score for the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, in which Tobe Hooper and Wayne Bell also used sheet metal for the musical ambience. 🤘
God what a stunning track it sends chills down my spine every time I hear it. There is literally no music that better suits the tone and aesthetic of the scene and the over all show. I can't wait for the full release.
There was something subtle about the lighting in joker and Chernobyl, both having that eerie pale green lighting and this soundtrack linking them. Fascinating when you consider how compelling and terrifying they are and it’s simply reality that does that.
One of the most powerful music scored ever written for a TV series. Everything that happened and how it makes us feel has gone into this music sheet. So much emotion and
@@ReStOrEdLiFe88 Sitnikov died on 30th April, most of the radiation was affected on his face, he lost his face completely while he was still alive, imagine the pain....
@@JasonParmar8008 The one who lost his face was Akimov, one of the operators who was doing the test. Sitnikov died horribly too but there's no report his face was gone.
As one recovering from depression, this song IS THE PERFECT MUSICAL REPRESENTATION OF DEPRESSION ITSELF. Far from just moody sadness, it is a toxic combination of regret, anger, shame, and many other emotions, none of them are good.
This show is truly amazing. The music fits everything so well. The concrete at the funeral felt so final to me, like it sealing in their very souls. The reactor room looked like a room leading straight to hell. This will probably be my favorite show unless the final 2 episodes just somehow suck bad enough to ruin the show.
@@TheGoodDoctorSND There are too much to say about Chernobyl, and i sure that last episodes wont be less shoking. They need to collect all radioactive waste, and raise the Vault. Thank to this people that Kyiv, my city , is not dead and deserted.
It's horrifying how something you can't see, touch, or smell can cause such a long and excruciatingly painful death, and a very strange burial. How what we, as humans, build things that have slight defects. And those small defects can cause such destruction and death for thousands of years to come. It's actually kind of impressive if you think about it.
You can sort of taste radioactive elements due to most of them being metallic. The Atom is powerful. It gives us light in times of pure darkness. But if you mistreat it...
Reallity scares us because we are not only spectators, it affects us, consumes us. We are so affraid of reallity that everyone tries to escape. Life is beautiful when you don’t have to be afraid. Wich is very rarely, sadly..
Thanks for uploading this, I weirdly had those last three repeating notes of this song stuck in my head and could not for the life of me identify where I'd heard it!! Then I thought it might've been this show and Googled "Chernobyl soundtrack" and this popped up. So thanks!
I don't know who composed this music, but I swear, the soundtrack drove me crazy while watching the show. It was the most alien/horror yet realistic/grounded music I'd ever heard, and it fit the show perfectly. Brilliant music, the composer definitely deserved more credit.
Chernobyl is the perfect example of bad leadership, what propaganda can do to some people. And all together, what power can do to some ppl. All because of a small test.
AMAAAZING Song and amazing serie . I remember those days, I was 11yo and after 2-3 days from the explosion, in Italy someone walking outdoors, said he felt his skin burning a little bit . I can t immagine what people in Ucraina saw and felt... I can t immagine..
One of the best (or worst) things about this theme is the fact that you can play this over any historical tragedy and it would work: the sinking of the RMS Titanic, the collapse of the World Trade Center, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For example, the many metal rumblings heard in the theme work with titanic. You can just imagine those noises coming from the liner as the ocean pulls her under, with the collapsing funnels, flooding inter structure, and soon enough, the moment she broke in half.
I am very grateful to Craig Mazin and Johan Renk. I am from Russia myself and I knew perfectly well that terrible catastrophe. But I was very annoyed and offended that almost the whole world does not know about this terrible accident. Fortunately, this magnificent and wonderful film is coming out, after which many have known the horror of this catastrophe, have known the pain of those who sacrificed and suffered. They realized that in 1986, the whole world was on the verge of death.
Where do you get the idea hardly anyone knew outside of the USSR? It was on the news for weeks in the Netherlands (and I assume in the rest of the world too. People were thinking the world was ending and all that. I was 8 at the time and I can still remember it vividly.
That would interesting to know too. But what i meant to say is, that the Chernobyl Disaster was widely known to have happened outside of the USSR too within days after it happened. It's probably the most famous nuclear disaster ever,and has been just that since 1986
This scene that played this soundtrack really hit me hard, tears started to flow down my face and my heart felt broken knowing what these poor people had gone through....my father was in the military at that time for the US Army and they had satellite images of the explosion an hour after it happened he told me stories of it over the years and said he and loads of other soldiers who had families there in Germany at the time were almost going to leave Europe and come back home because of the fear of radiation
The things that happened at Chernobyl was so scary. Nothing like it has never happened before, this serie was perfect and so scary at the same time. Hard to explain the feeling you got from it. How all of the stuff went wrong leading up to the explosions.
Men, i was imagining that must be nice a Space themed game like Dead Space focused in human accidents besides "monsters". I believe that main problem in space colonization, will be deal with chemistry, radiation and biological risks on Space.

This soundtrack somehow fits the feeling I always had, thinking about all the tragic loss this event caused. And the haunting feeling of knowing the invisible killer still lurks in every tree and blade of grass surrounding that place.
I hate being reminded that this soundtrack exists, because then I want to hear it again, yet I know it'll depress the hell outta me
You and me both.
For any of you wondering about the "horn" sound I think it could easily be a synthesizer, however, given how the composer of this series actually got field recordings from an actual nuclear plant, my guess would be that the horn sound is actually metal being scraped/rattled (like heavy sheets of metal giving way and collapsing) and then later manipulated electronically. It reminds me of some parts of the score for the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, in which Tobe Hooper and Wayne Bell also used sheet metal for the musical ambience. 🤘
God what a stunning track it sends chills down my spine every time I hear it. There is literally no music that better suits the tone and aesthetic of the scene and the over all show. I can't wait for the full release.
Who is here after Joker's soundtrack?
Me. I knew there was some resemblance from the joker soundtrack! Not this in particular but some parts of the movie reminded me of chernobyls ost
Lul me😒😅
Deam, we twins or something?
The composer is same. That gurl is very talented
There was something subtle about the lighting in joker and Chernobyl, both having that eerie pale green lighting and this soundtrack linking them. Fascinating when you consider how compelling and terrifying they are and it’s simply reality that does that.
One of the most powerful music scored ever written for a TV series. Everything that happened and how it makes us feel has gone into this music sheet. So much emotion and
Perfect sountrack for the tv mini series!!!
Thanks for uploading this soundtrack! After watching 3rd episode immediately turned on UA-cam to find it...
So deep and emotional...
This is basically the soundtrack of visallys death
But first heard when the worker from the day shift (sorry I don't know the name right now) has to go up the roof and look into the reactor
@@Ne0ne Sitnikov. Poor guy, I guess he regretted not taking the bullet instead..
RestoredLife he was a day shift worker as well, so bad they sent him up!
@@ReStOrEdLiFe88 Sitnikov died on 30th April, most of the radiation was affected on his face, he lost his face completely while he was still alive, imagine the pain....
@@JasonParmar8008 The one who lost his face was Akimov, one of the operators who was doing the test. Sitnikov died horribly too but there's no report his face was gone.
Это не просто фильм,это углубление в какой то момент в ту реальность,которая происходила в Чернобыле.Валерий Легасов лучший.
Hard to listen. Depressing..
Yes,depressing
Lol that's Lester on the photo 😂
@Levente Dósa Lool Im not laughing at that,I am laughing at the dasist photo,that is the character from tv show called Fargo Lester Nyygard 😂
As one recovering from depression, this song IS THE PERFECT MUSICAL REPRESENTATION OF DEPRESSION ITSELF. Far from just moody sadness, it is a toxic combination of regret, anger, shame, and many other emotions, none of them are good.
The whole series is depressing.
Сердце сжимается от этой музыки
Как же страшно, Господи 😭😭
Ариша Ариша угу
вы что, амбиенты никогда не слушали?
одновременно жуткий и такой прекрасный OST
This show is truly amazing. The music fits everything so well. The concrete at the funeral felt so final to me, like it sealing in their very souls. The reactor room looked like a room leading straight to hell.
This will probably be my favorite show unless the final 2 episodes just somehow suck bad enough to ruin the show.
Dont worry nothing will end worse than GOT
@@TheGoodDoctorSND There are too much to say about Chernobyl, and i sure that last episodes wont be less shoking. They need to collect all radioactive waste, and raise the Vault. Thank to this people that Kyiv, my city , is not dead and deserted.
Just watched the 4th episode. It’s depressing as hell.
@@viper-1actual25 Might be messed up, but I want an edit of th Halo kill streak voice for the puppy scene.
@@whichDude Oh I couldn't watch that, so I skipped the scene.
It's horrifying how something you can't see, touch, or smell can cause such a long and excruciatingly painful death, and a very strange burial. How what we, as humans, build things that have slight defects. And those small defects can cause such destruction and death for thousands of years to come. It's actually kind of impressive if you think about it.
You can sort of taste radioactive elements due to most of them being metallic.
The Atom is powerful. It gives us light in times of pure darkness. But if you mistreat it...
Really captures the vibe of school toilets
It's the same track used in the first episode I think, a sick Dyatlov being led out and seeing the chaos with the first responders.
Reallity scares us because we are not only spectators, it affects us, consumes us. We are so affraid of reallity that everyone tries to escape. Life is beautiful when you don’t have to be afraid. Wich is very rarely, sadly..
“Not great, not Terrible.”
"It's not 3.6 roentgen, it's 15 thousand."
This is strangely meditative
couldn't contain tears in this scene...
This shows the pain of their loved ones . Respect the valor of soldiers who fight the radiation
Thanks for uploading this, I weirdly had those last three repeating notes of this song stuck in my head and could not for the life of me identify where I'd heard it!! Then I thought it might've been this show and Googled "Chernobyl soundtrack" and this popped up. So thanks!
Man, i appreciated stick with me cause two more tracks have been uploaded & will be published soon, stay tuned 😊😊
I don't know who composed this music, but I swear, the soundtrack drove me crazy while watching the show. It was the most alien/horror yet realistic/grounded music I'd ever heard, and it fit the show perfectly. Brilliant music, the composer definitely deserved more credit.
Chernobyl is the perfect example of bad leadership, what propaganda can do to some people. And all together, what power can do to some ppl. All because of a small test.
this adds so much to the atmosphere of the scenes , great job.
AMAAAZING Song and amazing serie . I remember those days, I was 11yo and after 2-3 days from the explosion, in Italy someone walking outdoors, said he felt his skin burning a little bit . I can t immagine what people in Ucraina saw and felt... I can t immagine..
The only bad thing is that its 5 episodes only 😩😩
@@TheGoodDoctorSND true 😔
Episode 3, was so depressing... but at the same, scary!
@@chrisgilbert9407 ..the evacuation scene, in the second one ,is a diamond of the world cinematography
The sound of death 💀 is the same whether it,s Chernobyl nuclear death or a pandemic Corona virus
Pray for all dead 😔😔
I’m here after hearing the Joker’s soundtrack, I think there’s similarities between them
The composer is same. She's very talented
HBO'S soundtracks are always ON POINT! amazing.
they did such a good job of the show and the tracks. its so haunting, it almost feels like your there with them
Sound of the Death
The reason this melody is so haunting is because by the same time it passes a feeling of peace and calm it also has a sense of fear and despair
Glad to see a single good show getting filmed in Lithuania lmao
This 4 minutes clip alone has given me more anxiety than all the horror movies I've ever seen
amazing series and nice soundtrack
Thousands of people in France were affected by Chernobyl radiations and got cancers because of it, I can't even imagine how it was for the Soviets...
It affected Mexico too, but not directly.
Me, an Romanian: am I a joke to you ?
We we're literally "nextdoor"
One of the best (or worst) things about this theme is the fact that you can play this over any historical tragedy and it would work: the sinking of the RMS Titanic, the collapse of the World Trade Center, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
For example, the many metal rumblings heard in the theme work with titanic. You can just imagine those noises coming from the liner as the ocean pulls her under, with the collapsing funnels, flooding inter structure, and soon enough, the moment she broke in half.
I am very grateful to Craig Mazin and Johan Renk. I am from Russia myself and I knew perfectly well that terrible catastrophe. But I was very annoyed and offended that almost the whole world does not know about this terrible accident. Fortunately, this magnificent and wonderful film is coming out, after which many have known the horror of this catastrophe, have known the pain of those who sacrificed and suffered. They realized that in 1986, the whole world was on the verge of death.
Where do you get the idea hardly anyone knew outside of the USSR? It was on the news for weeks in the Netherlands (and I assume in the rest of the world too. People were thinking the world was ending and all that. I was 8 at the time and I can still remember it vividly.
@@Marinus_Calamari where did we get the idea from? you mean, how did we know about that accident?
That would interesting to know too. But what i meant to say is, that the Chernobyl Disaster was widely known to have happened outside of the USSR too within days after it happened. It's probably the most famous nuclear disaster ever,and has been just that since 1986
This scene that played this soundtrack really hit me hard, tears started to flow down my face and my heart felt broken knowing what these poor people had gone through....my father was in the military at that time for the US Army and they had satellite images of the explosion an hour after it happened he told me stories of it over the years and said he and loads of other soldiers who had families there in Germany at the time were almost going to leave Europe and come back home because of the fear of radiation
Has my skin crawling, and combined on what you see during this playing, really gets into you.
Reality can be more scarier than movie with zombies, alien, ghost, and anything that looks scary but not exactly happened in real life.
Soundtrack of my life
If I'm not mistaken, the composer of the tracks said that they were legit made from sounds recorded in a nuclear plant facility. Astonishing!
Your are not mistaken, there is the interview where the composer talk about it, check this out on youtube

Please don't put links on the comments cause yt sees it as a spam, please remove it
Abdelrahman M. Hassan sorry about that
@@BigMacIIx
No it's nothing, thanks for your understanding 😊😊
The things that happened at Chernobyl was so scary. Nothing like it has never happened before, this serie was perfect and so scary at the same time. Hard to explain the feeling you got from it. How all of the stuff went wrong leading up to the explosions.
Probably this show the more episode you watch the darker & creepier it gets
& the that's the beauty of it
This music also highly contaminated. That horn sound, terrific.
Men, i was imagining that must be nice a Space themed game like Dead Space focused in human accidents besides "monsters". I believe that main problem in space colonization, will be deal with chemistry, radiation and biological risks on Space.
Thank you Legasov and other People. With them we are living now😓😓
Wow. What a series. What acting....and what a fucking soundtrack. Wow.
A masterpiece soundtrack from a masterpiece TV show. This gives me goose pimples every time I listen to it.
Wow
Bu müzikte insanın anlayamadığı bir derinlik ve enginlik bulunuyor. Müzik insanın içinde hem bir ihtişamlı duygu hemde ürpertici bir duygu yaratıyor. Müziği dinledikçe geçmişte yaşanmış anları ve sahneleri yaşıyorsunuz. Ve yükselen mantar bulutunun gözünüzün önünde yükselişini görüyorsunuz.
Потрясающий фильм, очень тяжёлый настолько классно передана атмосфера трагедии в есть много фильмов катастроф но именно при просмотре Чернобыля осознаешь весь ужас происходящего
Jesus this hits so fricking hard the scene made it incredibly depressing Acute Radiation syndrome is horrific
Reminds me a lot of soundtrack from film "Annihilation"
(SciFi masterpiece I warmly recommend)
H.. Heeelp meeeh...
Men&Women are crying in this show
Grat clip bro, thanks for posting.
I cannot explain what I felt when they were burying those people in the iron caskets I just felt mad and in raged I have no idea why
This song is just fascinating, it makes me get goosebumps every time
Even though this is music I genuinely get scared
reality is the scariest genre
