'Sony Music Masterworks is pleased to announce the release of GOD OF WAR RAGNARÖK (ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK) by composer BEAR McCreary. The album features score music written by McCreary for the hugely anticipated video game, which debuts on PlayStation®5 and PlayStation®4 consoles. Also included within the 28-track collection is an original vocal track from McCreary and multiplatinum-selling singer-songwriter HOZIER entitled “Blood Upon the Snow”. Having previously scored 2018’s God of War, McCreary returns to the legendary gaming franchise for its newest iteration, once again imbuing the score with traditional Northern European instrumentation, folk elements, and an Icelandic choir to capture the game’s Nordic influences. McCreary also reunites with Faroese singer Eivør, who contributes her captivating vocal stylings throughout the score. The composer adds of the soundtrack, “When I set out to score God of War Ragnarök over three years ago I began by reading a lengthy script. Hours later, tears ran down my face as I turned the final pages. In order to musically support this ambitious new narrative, I would need to fill God of War Ragnarök with new musical themes and sounds and interweave them with material from my score from God of War (2018). I hope that gamers around the world will feel the joy and passion that went into the making of this music.” Emmy and BAFTA award-winning composer Bear McCreary began his career as a protégé of legendary film composer Elmer Bernstein, before bursting onto the scene scoring the influential and revered series Battlestar Galactica in 2004. Since then, McCreary has been a four-time Emmy nominee and won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme for Da Vinci’s Demons, a musical palindrome that sounds the same forwards and backwards.
