It’s the follow-up to 2017’s Dark Nights: Metal, which itself came with a soundtrack inspired by the books.

Limited to 4,000 pressings, the vinyl EP featured songs by Alice In Chains‘ Jerry Cantrell, Deftones‘ Chino Moreno, Mastodon‘s Brann Dailor, Sleigh Bells‘ Alexis Krauss and more.

Meanwhile, Rise Against have teased a new track that will feature as the lead single from the Dark Nights: Death Metal soundtrack.

“Personally, being involved with this soundtrack is really fantastic,” Rise Against frontman Tim McIlrath said. “Growing up, my little brother and I would ride our bikes to the newsstand near our house and spend all our money on the latest comic books, and Batman was a favourite.
