Godzilla: King of the Monsters (soundtrack): History and Key Facts

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2019 American monster film Godzilla: King of the Monsters, composed by Bear McCreary. His involvement in the film was confirmed in July 2018, and recording of the musical score began later that year in Hong Kong.

Several themes from Akira Ifukube's musical score for Godzilla (1954), were incorporated and sampled in the score. The album and score influenced a mix of electronic, trance and orchestral music with Japanese music for few of the themes. The soundtrack was released by WaterTower Music on May 24, 2019, a week before the film's theatrical release date. A limited edition triple LP soundtrack was released by Waxwork Records on July 5.
