THE WITCHER Season 3 Vol. 1 is Available – Score by Joseph Trapanese

Milan Records today announces the release of THE WITCHER: Season 3 – Vol. 1 (Soundtrack From The Netflix Original Series) by composer Joseph Trapanese. Available to order now, the album features both an original score as well as original vocal tracks written by Trapanese for the highly anticipated third season of Netflix’s epic fantasy series. Trapanese returns to the series after scoring the show’s second season, this time enlisting the help of Polish folk metal band Percival Schuttenbach, who contribute their expertise in historical Slavic music to deliver an authentic soundscape for the world of THE WITCHER.

The Vol. 1 soundtrack is the first of an eventual two albums of music to be released from the third season and arrives alongside the series’ Vol. 1 debut on Netflix today, June 29. 

In addition to the original score tracks, THE WITCHER: Season 3 – Vol. 1 also features two new vocal songs performed by the series’ actors, including “Extraordinary Things” featuring actor Joey Batey as the show’s fan-favorite bard, Jaskier. Having performed season one’s viral hit “Toss A Coin to Your Witcher” and its follow-up “Burn Butcher Burn,” Batey continues to be a mainstay across the series’ music, yet again contributing his vocals to “The Ride of the Witcher,” an anthemic collaboration between Batey, Trapanese, and Percival Schuttenbach as well as the first introduction to the music of the new season.  

“I am excited to share another sneak peek with the fans into our work on Season 3 of Netflix’s THE WITCHER,” said Trapanese  “The new season’s storyline explores Geralt’s mythology more deeply and boldly than ever before, and demands an equally compelling and grand score.  I couldn’t be more thrilled by Percival Schuttenbach’s incredible performances on “Time of Contempt” and throughout our new soundtrack.” – Trapanese (news continues below):
