Harry Gregson-Williams will compose Alien: Covenant score. Speaking to All Access about his career, Harry Gregson-Williams has revealed that Ridley Scott has asked him to score Alien: Covenant.
He stated his excitment for the project but also clarified it wouldn’t be until much later on in the year. Gregson-Williams and Ridley Scott have worked together previously on several different films, most recently on Scott’s acclaimed The Martian. Gregson-Williams has also worked alongside Ridley’s brother, Tony Scott, on various projects.

Harry Gregson-Williams Will Compose Alien: Covenant Score.
Prometheus was composed by Marc Streitenfeld but Gregson-Williams was actually brought aboard to compose two additional tracks for the Prometheus score: Life and We Were Right. Thanks to Scified for the news.
indeed and he perfected it for Sons of Liberty
Some people might be as familiar with that one as the theatrical cut was a lot, shorter. I love the Overture, which was literally just a black screen and an extended portion of William's music. It's pretty awesome, but not something you'd recognize unless having seen the director's cut (which is a million times better than the theatrical cut).
Let's refrain from the insults please, 8th. Thanks.
And he is by no means a no-name. He has done plenty of work as has been pointed out.
Don't regard him being responsible for any particularly memorable pieces of music, but that's another issue.
So I am an idiot for pointing out that a seasoned director is going with a no-name composer.
Maceface is evidently not the sharpest pencil in the box.

that's my line..
Can't find any track called stomach op!
Overall the soundtrack of Prometheus is excellent:
Alien> Prometheus> Alien 3> Aliens
But i'm ok with a darker tone for this new movie.
If only more did lol
Really excited for this though, I really enjoyed his work on Prometheus. However, like tmjhur said, I'm hoping for a darker tone.
Great news thanks!
The man behind Kingdom Of Heaven, The Martian... great!
He also did...
METAL GEAR?!?
He is very very good...
