28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), featuring an original score by Academy Award-, Emmy-, Golden Globe-, and GRAMMY-winning composer Hildur Gudnadóttir, is out now via Milan Records. The album accompanied the second chapter of the Nia DaCosta-directed horror saga, which is a dark exploration of survival, with a foreboding blend of strings, primal percussion, and unsettling instrumental effects. The film stars Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, and Alfie Williams. Gudnadóttir made history with her soundtrack for Todd Phillips’ dark psychological thriller Joker when she became the first solo woman winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score (Motion Picture) since the category’s introduction in 1947.

The digital soundtrack for Return to Silent Hill is out now, coinciding with the 20th anniversary since the first Silent Hill film hit theaters. Directed by Christophe Gans and starring Jeremy Irvine as James Sunderland, the film was based on Konami’s classic horror video game Silent Hill 2. The score was composed by longtime series collaborator and executive producer Akira Yamaoka, who revisited familiar melodies in tracks like “Chasing Laura” and “Moth Mary.” Yamaoka’s soundscape was intentionally composed not to tell listeners or viewers what to feel, but to leave them with an unsettling feeling of ambiguity.
