Helluva Boss 2x07 Mammon’s Magnificent Musical Score (see description for notes!)

Watch the full episode here: 00:00 Mammon’s Theme This was a minor collaboration with Tom Cardy, the composer of “Juggling Iz Cool“. He shared with me some of his drum tracks and sound effects and I incorporated them into this. The idea was to create some continuity between the this scene and the scene with the song later in the episode. It didn’t quite turn out the way that I wanted it but I’m still happy with the end result. This theme has two elements that are used as a “leitmotif“ for Mammon. The melody itself (which is a play on the theme from the opera “Carmen“) and the heavy metal accompaniment (which takes on a sillier and more sinister forms when needed). 01:54 Fizz and Blitzø/Creepzo This is another new theme that I wrote for young Fizz and Blitzø. The theme itself takes inspiration from a theme from “How to Train Your Dragon“ by John Powell, and really has an innocent and wholesome sound to it. This theme can be heard throughout the episode and is supposed to represent the feelings of why Fizz became a clown to begin with. 04:20 Fizzie Commercial Next, is a little circus march for the commercial. The key changes with each cut to a different Fizzy and keeps going up and up. You can hear bits of the melody from “Thunder and Blazes: Entry March of the Gladiators“ which is probably the most well-known circus march. A quick funk beat comes in for the “sick, degenerate adults“ joke and then goes into Mammon’s theme before wrapping up. 05:01 “I Don’t Wanna Lose“ The theme here was taken from the previous episode with Fizz and Ozzie are talking in their apartment. This is just some light, playful background music that sets the tone. The baritone sax solo plays a solemn version of “House Of Asmodeus“ featured in season 1 episode 7. I didn’t write that song but it’s a good theme for these two so it pops up throughout this episode as well as the previous. This cue wraps up with the “B“ theme for Fizz and Ozzy, played by the french horns. This theme appeared towards the end of the last episode and is good for more serious, but still tender, moments between the two. 06:49 Ozzy calls Blitzø This is what we refer to as “The Office“ theme in Helluva Boss. Written by Jefferson Friedman, it has appeared many times throughout the series, usually when the IMP team is in their office. I took the theme and gave it a lighter, more orchestral sound. 08:01 Red Carpet Event A new theme that was inspired by “Hooray for Hollywood,“ which is the stereotypical song played during red carpet events in Hollywood. It transitions into “Song of Asmodeus“ when Ozzy and Fizz have a brief dialogue, and shortly returns before going into our second playing of Mammon’s theme (the heavy and light version). Also, with Blizto’s introduction to Mammon, the IMP Theme appears with heavy guitar and horns. This theme originally appeared back in the first episode and is also composed by Jefferson Friedman (I think). 10:23 The Glam Sisters Here we hear an orchestral version of “Klown Bitch,“ the same same song sung by The Glam Sisters later in the episode. 11:15 Meet’n’Greet Probably my favorite cue of the entire soundtrack. A new version of Mammon’s theme is played by a solo saxophone and has a real sleazy sound to it. You can just hear Mammon stealing money! 12:47 “Heya Folks, Where ya From?“ More red carpet music with a little bit of banjo to emphasize that one crowd member. 13:09 A Special Little Fan Fizz’s theme comes back, this kind of fan interaction is what it’s all about for him, making people happy. 13:30 The Fanatic Returns The crazy fan Creepzo interrupts the meet and greet with a theme of his own. This theme is also a little interchangeable with Mammon’s theme and the fan is perhaps a result of Mammon’s influence. 15:05 “You’re a Bloody Legend“ We see more of Mammon’s true self and his theme is getting darker. 16:01 Fizz’s Panic Attack/Ozzy’s Pep-Talk The tremolo strings represent Fizz’s trembling hand as he applies his makeup. This cue has bits of Fizz’s theme in a minor key as well as Ozzy and Fizz’s love theme. When Fizz reveals his broken horns, the music from the explosion during the previous episode’s flashback comes back. 18:44 Small Cues A couple of really short cues that provided some mood. 19:08 “I Quit!“ The triumphant version of Fizz’s theme! 19:38 Mammon’s Reveal Mammon’s final form! His theme is also beefed up and its final form as well. Ozzy and Fizz’s theme has a triumphant rendition as Ozzy transforms too. 21:30 “Who tops?“ The standard sax solo version of Ozzy and Fizz’s theme brings the episode to a close.
