Drawing on the sounds, rituals and beliefs of the period, Carolan creates a score that is at once gritty and folksy, surreal and otherworldly.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHurdy-gurdies, the cymbalum and other archaic instruments are reimagined through unconventional playing techniques and electronic manipulation. Everyday farming tools, including axes, cleavers and scythes, were played against wood and bone to create uncanny percussive sounds, while bells and clay jugs became the source of strange drones. Together these sounds evoke the agricultural rhythms of the time while conjuring the unseen forces that shaped its beliefs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eStrings are central to the score's unsettling atmosphere, shifting between wind and creaking trees. Carolan experimented with a string quintet in a session he called the \"Ghost Meditations,\" electronically manipulating the recordings until they took on a spectral quality. He also drew on experimental instrument makers Fron Reilly and Bart Hopkin, whose adaptations of archaic instruments offered new ways to reimagine period sounds. Among the score's collaborators are violinist Daniel Pioro, who helped with the more experimental ideas for strings, string player Laura Cannell with her extensive knowledge of medieval music, longtime friend Jack Bevan, from the band Foals, who contributed folk percussion, and Antonina Nowacka, whose voice brings a celestial quality to the instrumentals.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe soundtrack also features \"Wynter Waxeth,\" an original song performed by Ethel Cain in Middle English. What began as a discussion about using her voice as a texture within the score soon developed into a fully fleshed out song. Medieval music, prayers and strange ambient recordings were exchanged and with Eggers' help, Cain mastered the Middle English pronunciation, bringing an earthy, feral, haunted beauty to the score.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCarolan's inspirations extended beyond music into art, literature and the physical spaces of medieval England. The Drolatic Dreams of Pantagruel, Lucas Cranach's The Werewolf or the Cannibal, and English Medieval Graffiti informed his thinking, while medieval churches offered a chance to absorb their atmosphere first hand. Another important influence was T?ru Takemitsu's score for Onimaru, an obscure 1980s Japanese adaptation of Wuthering Heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWerwulf is an exercise in world building, capturing not only the environment of the period but also the psychology of a society shaped by superstition, faith and the unknown. Designed to unnerve and disorient, the score reaches for something emotionally overwhelming, reflecting what Carolan sees as one of Eggers' most devastating works.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e• Soundtrack for the highly anticipated Robert Eggers' new movie Werwulf (2026)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e• Expansive orchestration, choral voices, and ancient and uncanny instrumentation accompany the film's descent into darkness, channeling devotion, damnation and the beast within.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e• Available on Limited Silver double vinyl and double CD.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWerwulf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuntere Moone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Gyft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Child of God\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivere Me Fro My Synnes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersecucioun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome To Me My Child\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHunteres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKepeth Thee Sauf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglonde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eY Swer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFenden Thee From Evel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNyghtmare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuneral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCursid Kinde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Moone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne More Moone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hangynge Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHovel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWynter Waxeth I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs Not This Love?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold Moone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWicches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrappes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlaughtre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKille, Kille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncurseth Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncursid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWulf Moone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFader!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvermore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWynter Waxeth [Ethel Cain]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 840526519491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sacred Bones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.29.27\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67359827787851,"sku":"470042950","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/4553570-3748971.jpg?v=1793338256","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/pre-order-robin-carolan-werwulf-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-2lp","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
