Composers Robin Carolan and Sebastian Gainsborough have detailed their soundtrack for Robert Eggers’ new movie The Northman. The soundtrack album is out digitally on April 22 via Back Lot Music; physical editions will be released via Sacred Bones on July 1. The first offering from the soundtrack is the new song “Storm at Sea / Yggdrasill,” which you can hear below.
Robin Carolan is the founder of Tri Angle Records, and Sebastian Gainsborough is known for his work as Vessel. In a statement, the musicians explained, “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.”
The Northman hits U.S. theaters on April 22. The film stars Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke, Björk, and Willem Dafoe. It is Eggers’ third feature film, following 2015’s The Witch and 2019’s The Lighthouse.
