THEY WILL KILL YOU - MUSIC BY AWARD WINNING COMPOSER CARLOS RAFAEL RIVERA - AVAILABLE NOW

WaterTower Music is proud to announce the release of They Will Kill You (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), featuring original music by Grammy- and 3x Emmy-winning composer Carlos Rafael Rivera. Blending aggressive synth work with acoustic and electric guitars and sweeping orchestral textures, the music channels the film’s raw, hyper-violent energy while grounding it in a striking emotional undercurrent.

Directed by Kirill Sokolov and written by Sokolov & Alex Litvak, starring Zazie Beetz, They Will Kill You unleashes a blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy in which a young woman must survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering in a uniquely brazen, big screen battle of epic kills and wickedly dark humor. 

Carlos Rafael Rivera shares:

"Working with director Kirill Sokolov on They Will Kill You pushed me completely out of my comfort zone, and I couldn't be more grateful. Early on, Kirill told me that for this movie to work, we always had to 'keep the middle finger in our pocket.’ That meant taking my initial, delicate 'ghost story' piano opening and evolving it into 'The Sisters' and 'The Immortal' themes by leaning heavily into aggressive synths. Treating the 'Maria Reeves' theme with a mix of classical guitar and synths brought out an eclectic color I had not reached before, blending acoustic and electric guitars with orchestral elements. The challenge was on to write massive, adrenaline-fueled sequences like 'The Fight,' that could propel the hyper-violent tone of the film while protecting its genuine emotional core. It was a deeply collaborative, iterative process that made the music bolder and more badass than I could have imagined. Can't wait for you all to hear this one." 

The soundtrack is available everywhere now via streaming platforms with vinyl coming soon through Waxwork Records.
