The 43-track TheNorthman soundtrack for Robert Egger’s Viking revenge tale gets release dates for digital and physical versions.
With the hotly anticipated film The Northman by the auteur Robert Eggers coming to theaters this month, it has just been announced that the film's soundtrack will be released digitally along with the film's theatrical release on April 22.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Of the tone of their soundtrack, Carolan and Gainsborough stated, "Robert wanted the world of The Northman to feel harsh and uncomfortable, and for everything to feel like it was caked in mud and dry blood, so it was crucial for the score to mirror that." In addition to the rugged feel that Eggers requested, Carolan and Gainsborough also did in-depth research on Viking-era music when crafting the score, which spans over forty tracks. Both composers previously worked almost exclusively in electronic music, so their work on The Northman served as a stark departure.
"One of the pieces we wrote was intended to emulate the sound of a bullroarer; an ancient, relatively humble-looking instrument used in sacred rituals, or in battle to intimidate enemies. It makes a really disorienting roaring vibrato sound and was capable of creating insanely low frequencies that could travel for miles. For this we attempted to do the same thing, but the twist being that we used a huge, 40 piece string ensemble in order to do so.
