Netflix's Resident Evil Soundtrack Release Revealed

By Rollin Bishop

The upcoming live-action Resident Evil series at Netflix is set to release on July 14th, but that's not all that is set to release that week. It has now been announced that Milan Records will release the soundtrack to Netflix's Resident Evil series on the following day, July 15th. The soundtrack features music by composer Gregory Reveret as well as an original song, "My Heart Has Teeth," by deadmau5 featuring vocals by Skylar Grey.

In addition to the reveal that the soundtrack will release on July 15th, the lead single to the album and main theme for the series, "Venus Flytrap," has been released. The main theme includes drums recorded by The Goo Goo Dolls' Craig Macintyre. You can listen to the first single for yourself embedded below:

"I wanted to explore and push the boundaries from the earlier sounds of the franchise while delivering a fun, action-packed score that would give fans something they could really enjoy and have fun with," said Reveret as part of the announcement. "The thematic material needed to be bold, to really serve as a continuous thread between the two timelines in the story. I bought this obscure lab/test-equipment that was originally used in NASA laboratories and is not really supposed to make music, but it sounds really interesting and alive. It gave the music a cool industrial edge and eventually became a main feature of the score. Much of the story is based in my hometown of Cape Town, South Africa, so I also worked with local musicians and recorded a South African orchestra, which is something I'm very proud of."
