Composer, Hildur Guðnadóttir, delivers a bold and emotionally charged score that blends orchestral grandeur with raw punk energy, capturing the film’s sweeping romance, dangerous sensuality, and unflinching humanity.

Hildur Guðnadóttir shares:

“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!”

Director, writer, and producer Maggie Gyllenhaal reflects on the creative process behind the music:

“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.”

Karin Dreijer of Fever Ray shares:

“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.”
