Sony Music Masterworks today releases Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (Original Motion Picture Soudtrack ) with music by composers Brian Tyler (F9, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Yellowstone) and John Carey (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Mummy).
Available everywhere now, the album features score music written by Tyler and Carey for the second installment in Columbia Pictures’ psychological thriller series, returning the composing duo to the film franchise after scoring the first Escape Room in 2019.
Directed by Adam Robitel, Escape Room: Tournament of Champions is available exclusively in movie theaters now.

Of the soundtrack, composer Brian Tyler says, “Composing the score for Escape Room: Tournament of Champions was an incredible experience and a chance to create both an emotional musical experience as well as a dark and sonically rich soundscape. The score is composed from the perspective of classic thematic writing yet is embodied by industrial electronic music.
The contrast of tones between emotional motifs and the stark sonic landscape of pure electronic music was one of the most interesting musical combinations I have ever endeavored to create. I was so pleased to work with the incredibly talented director Adam Robitel on this sequel as well as collaborating with the amazing John Carey. The film was a true joy to work on, and I cannot wait for people to see the film and hear the soundtrack!”

Fans of the original Escape Room will hear a familiar yet updated version of the 2019 film’s main theme, which Tyler and Carey have newly reprised for the sequel, of which Tyler says, “it conveys a fatalistic tone, but this time, the story has a whole new set of circumstances, and the score has an expansion of musical themes and sounds.
The contrast of the distant, melancholic piano against the wall of powerful analog synthesizer develops throughout the film, and we feel more and more emotion for the main characters who helplessly fight against that invisible force.
” Also included within the 21-track album is a special version of the new theme, which has been remixed by Tyler and frequent collaborator, DJ and producer Kill the Noise for the film’s main title sequence. Of the collaboration, Tyler says, “I was also proud to collaborate once again with Kill the Noise to remix the main theme for the main title sequence. This time the theme gets the drum and bass treatment and will hopefully break some speaker cones.”

Escape Room: Tournament of Champions is the sequel to the box office hit psychological thriller that terrified audiences around the world. In this installment, six people unwittingly find themselves locked in another series of escape rooms, slowly uncovering what they have in common to survive…and discovering they’ve all played the game before.
