THE CROW: Official Soundtrack For Lionsgate's Remake Revealed - Does It Live Up To The Original?

The soundtrack for the original The Crow is widely regarded as one of the best movie soundtracks there is, and we now have the track list for Lionsgate's remake...

Though opinions will obviously vary based on musical taste, the soundtrack for Alex Proyas' original adaptation of The Crow is widely regarded as one of the best of all time, topping the Billboard 200 and eventually going platinum.

Now, AVClub.com has unveiled the official track list for Lionsgate's remake, and it's... actually pretty good!

The music used for the trailer did not inspire confidence, but this soundtrack includes a few certified bangers which perfectly encapsulate the goth/industrial aesthetic associated with the '90s film. Whether this movie manages to live up to that standard remains to be seen!

Here’s the complete track list for The Crow soundtrack:

“Des Pas Sur La Neige” - Debussy

“Disorder” – Joy Division

“Fall” – The Bug Ft. Inga Copeland

“Thin Flesh” – Traitrs

“The Killer” – Landr

“M.E.” – Gary Numan

“Total Depravity” – The Veils

“Boadicea” – Enya

“Meaning” – Cascadeur

“What Went Down” – Foals

The Crow held its world premiere last night, but reviews are embargoed until later tonight, hours before the movie releases in theaters. This isn't usually a great sign, but the few social media reactions that have slipped through have been largely positive.

During a recent interview, director Rupert Sanders stressed that his movie is far from just another "Hollywood remake," despite its $50 million budget and backing of a major studio.

“There’s nothing to do with Hollywood in this movie at all,” the filmmaker told Empire. "It’s a very scrappy indie movie.”

Sanders went on to note that avoiding the usual blockbuster trappings is how they were “able to remain close to the centre and the darkness and the violence that’s in the graphic novel. The only reason we could do that is because it’s not a studio movie.”

The synopsis reads: "Soulmates Eric Draven (Bill Skarsgård) and Shelly Webster (FKA twigs) 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, 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."

The movie will also star Danny Huston, Laura Birn, Sami Bouajila, and Jordan Bolger in undisclosed roles. Zach Baylin and Will Schneider penned the script.

The new take on The Crow will hit theaters on August 23, 2024. Will you be giving a chance on opening weekend, or will you wait and see what the reviews say?

Not too big of a western music consumer so not familiar with the songs in that list but might check ‘‘em out later.

Also like any art , musical tastes & sensibilities can vary from person to person but I liked the song they used in one of the trailers so if the soundtrack is like that then I’ll likely enjoy it!!.

I’d argue both the OG Crow and CrowCOA soundtracks were top notch. Spawn soundtrack was legit as well.

There was just something special about early to mid 90’s metal and hip-hop before protools got introduced into the production process. It was just a more raw sound, similar to how Rock, Soul and R&B records from the 70’s sounded.

There's just too many things that made the original iconic that can't be replicated.

Characters like Top Dollar being a homicidal half-sister [frick]er, or T-Bird being a pyromaniac. Tin-Tin and his knives. Each antagonist brought a uniqueness to them.

@Diend - I believe they say they're not trying to replicate the 1st movie.

One Review is on Rotten Tomatoes NOT sounding good.

The plot drags on unnecessarily, exhausting the patience of the viewer who was expecting a story of action and violence. [Full review in Spanish]

Im watching the movie now and I can see alot of 20 year olds liking this but its very mediocre story wise and having the bad guy be supernatural and the crow be supernatural takes away what makes Eric special. Also Eric is such a bland character that you dont care about him really at all. It's so different from the comic I dont see what the point was. Had they stayed even closer to the comic more so than the original movie, this could have been really special. The director isn't bad but hes working off a weak script.

Traitrs is a solid modern post-punk style band.
