As it lands in cinemas today, August 23, find out what songs you’ll hear in the 2024 remake of The Crow…
Three decades on from the original movie – and its iconic soundtrack featuring everyone from Nine Inch Nails to Rage Against The Machine – the new 2024 remake of The Crow has hit cinemas.
And, as reported by The A.V. Club, it has a pretty dark and moody soundtrack, including Joy Division’s Disorder and Gary Numan’s M.E. (Ozzy Osbourne and Post Malone’s Take What You Want were also heard in the first trailer back in March, too).
In July, director Rupert Sanders promised lots of “darkness” and “violence” in his version, and explained that it reflects James O’Barr 1989 graphic novel rather than being a remake of the beloved 1994 Brandon Lee film.
It stars Bill Skarsgård as Eric Draven / The Crow and FKA twigs as Shelly, who are “brutally murdered when the demons of her dark past catch up with them”.
“Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself,” reads the synopsis, “Eric sets out to seek merciless revenge on their killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put the wrong things right.”
Check out The Crow 2024 soundtrack:
Debussy – Des Pas Sur La Neige
Joy Division – Disorder
The Bug Ft. Inga Copeland – Fall
Traitrs – Thin Flesh
Phil Kieran and Aaron Thomas – The Killer
Gary Numan – M.E.
The Veils – Total Depravity
Enya – Boadicea
Cascadeur – Meaning
Foals – What Went Down
And listen to the amazing 1994 original:
In Kerrang!’s round-up of the best movie soundtracks of the ’90s, we said of the original film: “Most famous for the tragic death of star Brandon Lee – son of Bruce – in a freak on-set accident, The Crow has remained a favourite of the gothically inclined. A tale of eyeliner-clad, back-from-the-dead vengeance set in a Gotham-esque urban hellhole, it’s an action packed, dark-hearted romp, but perhaps the best thing about it is its music. Featuring previously unreleased material from Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots, Pantera, Rage Against The Machine and more, it’s rock fan-nirvana, with NIN’s standout Dead Souls frequently showing up in their live sets in the years since.”
