Milan Records releases the soundtrack, for the second season of The Witcher, composed by Joseph Trapanese as well as three additional vocal tracks performed by actor Joey Batey, who plays the role of Jaskier in the show. Based on the best-selling fantasy series of books, The Witcher is an epic tale of fate and family. The story of the intertwined destinies of three individuals in the vast world of The Continent, where humans, elves, witchers, dwarves, and monsters battle to survive and thrive, and where good and evil is not easily identified...

The music to The Witcher is an integral part of the storytelling. The soundtrack to season two covers all bases. It's got epic themes, adrenaline pumping action pieces and melancholic reflective tracks. It also works wonderfully as a collection of interesting themes on its own merits.

Of the soundtrack, composer Joseph Trapanese says: "Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, Steve Gaub, Kelly Luegenbiehl, and the entire team at Netflix were incredibly generous with their time and guidance, introducing me to the world they've built based on Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher while also inviting me to share my own interpretation and musical language. It was especially rewarding to work with Joey Batey, whose representation and understanding of Jaskier became a key part of the songwriting process, with Joey himself co-writing two of the songs alongside me and the screenwriters. I couldn’t be more excited or proud to share this music with you, and I’m grateful to the entire Witcher team and Netflix for supporting our work through all the challenges of the past two years."

The album contains 32 tracks (1 hr, 41 min, 51 sec) and is pretty much an essential purchase for fans of the show, as well as those that enjoy epic, fantasy soundtracks. There's so much to enjoy here that it's one you'll be playing to death now and digging out for months and years to come.
