Out Now – Lead Single From THE WITCHER Season 3 The Ride Of The Witcher

Milan Records today releases the first single from the hugely-anticipated third season of Netflix’s epic fantasy series. Available everywhere now is The Ride Of The Witcher, a collaborative track from series’ composer Joseph Trapanese, actor Joey Batey, and Polish folk metal band Percival Schuttenbach.

A fan-favorite since his performance of season one’s viral smash hit “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher,” series actor Joey Batey reunites with Joseph Trapanese on the new track after co-writing and singing last season’s “Burn Butcher Burn.” The onscreen bard once again contributes an inspiring vocal performance on “The Ride of the Witcher” and is assisted by folk rockers Percival Schuttenbach, whose chorus of Slavic voices intertwine with Batey’s to create an anthemic crescendo. Today’s track is the first of an eventual two volumes of music to be released from the third season, with the Vol. 1 soundtrack arriving on Thursday, June 29 alongside the series’ Vol. 1 debut on Netflix.

Of the song, composer Joseph Trapanese says, “I am incredibly proud and honored to share our newest song for Netflix’s THE WITCHER, performed by our ingenious bard Joey Batey alongside the prodigious Polish artists Percival Shuttenbach. Featuring powerful instrumentation and epic text drawn from season 3, “The Ride of the Witcher” is a fitting ode to the White Wolf himself, celebrating his strong moral code, loyalty to his friends and loved ones, and his tenacity in the face of great danger.”

About The WITCHER Season 3: As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding, determined to protect his newly reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it. Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where she hopes to discover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line — or risk losing each other forever.
