The music for Mutant was the work of Richard Band, one of science fiction and horror cinema’s most competent and versatile composers. Son of movie producer/director Albert Band, Richard’s first cinematic gig was for the 1978 movie Laserblast, composed in collaboration with Joel Goldsmith. Band went on to score The Day Time Ended for ‘Bud’ Cardos, The House on Sorority Row for Mark Rosman, and just prior to Mutant had completed scoring Mematstorm: The Destruction of Jared Syn for his older brother, director Charles Band. His music for Mutant was performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra as the film afforded him a reasonable music budget and a reasonable length of time to record, considerations a composer does not always have when composing films of this nature. At the time, the National Philharmonic Orchestra was one of four orchestras floating around in London that drew from the same pool of musicians and could be hired for a reasonable price at that time. Within a few years, it would become impossible to get the same deal for these orchestras. The end result is one of the composer’s best scores.
