Directed by \u003cstrong\u003eSimon McQuoid\u003c\/strong\u003e, the film follows Cole Young, a washed-up mixed martial arts fighter who is unaware of his hidden lineage or why the assassin Sub-Zero is hunting him down.

In March of 2021, director \u003cstrong\u003eSimon McQuoid\u003c\/strong\u003e revealed that Wallfisch, a fan of the original game, began experimenting with the theme's DNA before officially joining the project, ensuring the score blended orchestral elements with intense, modern EDM. The score is highlighted by Wallfisch's reimagined, EDM-infused update of the original theme, entitled \u003cstrong\u003e\"Techno Syndrome 2021\"\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eComposer \u003cstrong\u003eBenjamin Wallfisch\u003c\/strong\u003e explains, “When I was invited to come on board ‘\u003cem\u003eMortal Kombat\u003c\/em\u003e,’ I was very aware of the responsibility that comes with scoring a franchise so deeply embedded in pop culture and with such a passionate fanbase. My first question was what can we do with ‘Techno Syndrome,’ a piece of music so much part of the DNA of the game and the original movies? What motifs could be reinvented and blown up to a full-scale symphonic sound world in the score, and might there be room for a full reinvention of the whole song as an EDM single in 2021? A huge thank you to The Immortals for giving us their blessing to reimagine their classic track in this way, as a celebration of the world of Mortal Kombat and its fans, and of the uplifting power of Electronic Dance Music, which the original did so much to light the fuse of 30 years ago.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWaxwork Records\u003c\/strong\u003e is thrilled to present \u003cstrong\u003eMortal Kombat (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Music by Benjamin Wallfisch\u003c\/strong\u003e as a deluxe double LP featuring \u003cstrong\u003e\"Scorpion\" and Sub-Zero\" colored vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e, heavyweight gatefold jackets with matte UV coating, and a 12\"x12\" full color printed insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechno Syndrome 2021 (Mortal Kombat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanzo Hasashi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLord Raiden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-Han\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShang Tsung\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCole Young\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirthmark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSonya Blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKano v Reptile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiu Kang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Great Protector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSub-Zero\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKung Lao\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKabal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArcana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJax Briggs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"19\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Void\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Tournament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSub-Zero v Cole Young\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Am Scorpion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Fight as One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet Over Here\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waxwork Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53684536705388,"sku":"MORTALKOMBAT","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/4223\/files\/MKI_Cover.jpg?v=1777496114","url":"https:\/\/waxworkrecords.com\/products\/mortal-kombat","provider":"Waxwork Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
