Striking a poignant note, quite literally, the film's haunting electro -
orchestral score marks the final screen credit for composer Johan Johansson, who died this month, here working in tandem with fellow Icelander Hildur Gudnadottir.
Each Blade composer has had to balance his
scoring chores with songs cemented to key scenes and montages:
Mark Isham went for a brooding synth and
orchestral blend that managed to smoothly weave in and out of the pumping songs laid over the main battle sequences; and Marco Beltrami's large
orchestral score was tweaked by Danny Saber and buoyed by a similar number of songs.
