Varèse Sarabande will release the Gods of Egypt – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally on February 26 and on CD March 25, 2016. The album features the original music composed by Marco Beltrami.
"The magnitude of score is beyond anything I have done before," said Beltrami. "This two and half hour score is the biggest film score project I have ever undertaken, after all these years that it saying something. Just mixing it took over a month but it was all worth it as it is really fun to stretch my wings a bit."
"The director Alex Proyas and I did some great research together to create the right sound," Beltrami described. "We watched some of the great films that reflected the area and sensibility we are going, for such as raiders of the lost ark, black narcissus, lawrence of arabiA together as these were influences of his for the film and wanted the music to perform a similar thematic function. After that I did my best to deliver."
Gods of Egypt will be in theaters February 26, 2016.
