Wallfisch’s HELLBOY Soundtrack Available from Sony

HELLBOY 2019 OST.jpgSony Music offers the HELLBOY original motion picture soundtrack, with music by Benjamin Wallfisch (IT, BLADE RUNNER: 2049, HIDDEN FIGURES, ANNABELLE CREATION).  The soundtrack is available now in digital from Amazon, iTunes, and various streaming sources; a physical CD will be out on April 12 (pre-order it from Amazon here), the same day the new HELLBOY will make his theatrical debut via Lionsgate’s Summit Entertainment label.

“The film has this extraordinary kind of punk attitude,” Wallfisch said about scoring HELLBOY in an interview with Jon Burlingame published yesterday in Variety. “I thought, we have to make the music sound as if it’s from the underworld, so I started experimenting with extremely aggressive synth sounds, combining it with punk rock guitars, and then a very heavy low-end orchestra. It’s the sound of an irreverent underworld, I guess.”
