The Killing Of A Sacred Deer is a haunting and atmospheric soundtrack that perfectly captures the mood of the film it accompanies. Featuring a diverse range of artists, including Jóhann Jóhannsson, Camille, and Barry Adamson, the album is a masterclass in creating tension and suspense through music.
The opening track, "Burn," sets the tone with its eerie, foreboding melody and haunting vocals. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a range of emotions, from the melancholic "De Profundis" to the unsettling "The Sacred Deer."
One of the standout tracks is "Carol's Theme," a beautiful and melancholic piano piece that perfectly captures the film's themes of loss and grief. The use of strings and electronic elements throughout the album adds an otherworldly quality to the music, creating an unsettling and eerie atmosphere that perfectly matches the film's unsettling visuals.
