Well, Trent Reznor pushed the button, and with it came details pertaining to his soundtrack to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. According to the website for Reznor’s label, Null Corporation, the soundtrack will see digital release next Friday, December 9th. Right now, however, anyone who pre-orders one of the release configurations through Null Corporation will receive an instant download of a free six-track sampler.
The result of 14 months of work between Reznor and longtime collaborator Atticus Ross, the entire soundtrack spans three hours and a mighty 39 songs. The opening track is a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” featuring Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O, which was first previewed in the film’s teaser trailer. The full track is being offered as an immediate download to anyone who pre-orders the soundtrack through iTunes. The closer is a cover of Bryan Ferry’s song “Is Your Love Strong Enough?” by Reznor’s band How to Destory Angels. You can find the entire tracklist below.
Along with the digital release, the soundtrack will be available as a three-CD digipack and a massive vinyl deluxe package. The latter, limited to just 3,000 copies, comprises six LPs, a deluxe book package with metal cover in a hard plastic “ice” slip cover, an exclusive custom 8gb metal razor blade USB pendant containing the full album in high-fidelity 96k audio, and a fold-out poster by Neil Kellerhouse. In addition, each copy comes signed by Reznor and collaborator Atticus Ross.
The digital album will be delivered on Friday, December 9th and the CD will ship out on Tuesday, December 27th. The deluxe package will ship out on Monday, January 23rd. As previously reported, Null Coporation will release the soundtrack in North America, while Mute Records will handle the release elsewhere.
If all there weren’t enough, an exclusive eight-minute trailer for the film is streaming on iTunes. According to Reznor, “we scored this trailer separately from the film.”
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is set to hit theaters on December 21st.
