The soundtrack is now available on streaming platforms. Waxwork Records is also releasing a deluxe double LP vinyl edition and CD formats, with vinyl available for preorder at www.waxworkrecords.com.
The vinyl release is presented in gatefold packaging and offered in two variants: an iridescent “Molten” edition and a Waxwork Records exclusive “Inkblot” pressing. The package includes a 12” x 12” art print.
The score was composed by Academy Award®, Golden Globe®, Emmy®, two-time Grammy®, and BAFTA®-winning composer Hildur Guðnadóttir.
“We wanted the Wedding March for The Bride! to be monstrous and intimate. Punk and classical. Romantic and roaring. All at once. A sonic rollercoaster. It was an absolute dream to record with some of my guitar heroes—to be in a punk band with them. And to have a classical orchestra playing live through thunderous amps and distortion. What a blast! Here comes The Bride!” said Guðnadóttir.
Director, writer, and producer Maggie Gyllenhaal also addressed the musical direction of the film.
“It was hard to find the tone for the music in this movie, because it had to be both punk, not as a genre, but as a feeling and romantic. Deeply romantic and emotional, it had to be all those things. We also had to take these monsters, these iconic monsters, absolutely seriously. It’s not camp. The tone of the music was really hard to land on. There wasn’t any temp music that worked in the language of the movie, so Hildur really had to invent it. And I think she found that mix of real punk and deep, deep romance. We had Lee Ranaldo playing wild Sonic Youth-style guitar layered over full orchestra. We had David Murray playing saxophone alongside Fever Ray. None of those elements alone would have worked, it had to be a blend. This film is a weaving of genres and tones, and the music had to reflect that,” said Gyllenhaal.
Karin Dreijer of Fever Ray commented on participating in the project.
“I’m very thankful for being invited to this project by Maggie Gyllenhaal! I was a fan before, but when I read the manuscript for the first time, I was hooked. The language of The Bride! is poetic, fun and magical, exactly where I like to exist,” said Dreijer.
The soundtrack includes 28 tracks featuring contributions from Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessie Buckley, Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks, Fever Ray, and The Bride! Orchestra.
The Bride! is directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal and stars Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures in theaters and IMAX® in North America on March 6, 2026, and internationally beginning March 4, 2026.
