Godzilla: King of the Monsters (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2019 American monster film Godzilla: King of the Monsters.[a] A sequel to Godzilla (2014), it is the 35th film in the Godzilla franchise, the third film in Legendary's MonsterVerse, and the third Godzilla film to be completely produced by a Hollywood studio.[b] Directed and co-written by Michael Dougherty, the film's musical score is composed by Bear McCreary, the third film composer to work on the MonsterVerse franchise.[c] His involvement in the film was confirmed in July 2018, and recording of the musical score began later that year in Hong Kong. Several themes from Akira Ifukube's musical score for Godzilla (1954), were incorporated and sampled in the score.[9] The album and score influenced a mix of electronic, trance and orchestral music with Japanese music for few of the themes. The soundtrack was released by WaterTower Music on May 24, 2019,[10] a week before the film's theatrical release date. A limited edition triple LP soundtrack was released by Waxwork Records on July 5.[11]
