The Devil’s Mouth Soundtrack Overview
Composer Bear McCreary scored The Devil’s Mouth, and on August 14, 2026, Amazon Content Services released The Devil’s Mouth (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), a 9-track digital Hi-Res album, confirmed via FMDB and now streaming on Spotify and Apple Music. McCreary described the score on social media as combining Thai soloists with orchestra and horror soundscapes to match the film’s claustrophobic, underwater setting. A single original song, “Livin’ the Life,” was also released alongside the movie’s Prime Video premiere on July 29, 2026. Read more in our Prime Video soundtrack guide.
Who Composed The Devil’s Mouth Soundtrack?
The score for The Devil’s Mouth was composed by Bear McCreary, confirmed via Film Music Reporter’s scoring-assignment announcement and echoed in Variety’s review of the film. This marks McCreary’s third collaboration with director Jeff Wadlow, following Fantasy Island (2020) and Imaginary (2024).
Born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and raised in Bellingham, Washington, McCreary trained under film-music legend Elmer Bernstein before graduating from the USC Thornton School of Music’s Screen Scoring program in 2002. He built his reputation on the reimagined Battlestar Galactica (2004–2009), a score praised for blending orchestral, electronic, and world-music elements, and went on to become one of the most prolific genre composers working today. His catalog spans television (The Walking Dead, Outlander, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), film (Godzilla: King of the Monsters, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Happy Death Day, Freaky), and video games (God of War and God of War Ragnarök, for which he won a BAFTA Games Award). He is also a multiple Grammy nominee and an Emmy winner for his main title theme to Da Vinci’s Demons.
At the time The Devil’s Mouth was announced, McCreary was simultaneously scoring several other active projects, including the third season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, the second season of Starz’s Outlander: Blood of My Blood, and Disney+’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Score Highlights
With the album released, two cues stand out as the score’s longest, most developed pieces: “Hiding in the Dark” (6:15) and “Facing Our Fears” (7:56), which together make up more than a third of the album’s runtime. McCreary himself described the score as combining Thai soloists with orchestra and horror soundscapes, built to reinforce the film’s underwater, low-visibility setting and its escalating predator-attack sequences. A scene-by-scene cue sheet has not been published, so exact track-to-scene placement remains unconfirmed.
The Devil’s Mouth Featured Song
Unlike a licensed needle drop pulled from an existing catalog, The Devil’s Mouth‘s one confirmed piece of non-score music is an original song written for the film:
- “Livin’ the Life” — performed by Jared Lee and Ace Hood, co-written by Jared Lee, Ace Hood, Konstantin Kersting, Dominik Felsmann, and Jintae Ko. Released July 29, 2026, via ELEET Music Group, to coincide with the film’s Prime Video premiere.
WhatSong’s listing for the film currently confirms only this one song associated with the soundtrack. Its exact placement within the film (in-scene needle drop versus end-credits use) has not been independently confirmed by a published cue sheet, so that detail is noted here as unconfirmed. Notably, Jared Lee also contributed an original song, “Don’t Wish Your Life Away,” to Wadlow and McCreary’s earlier collaboration Fantasy Island (2020) — a recurring pairing between the director’s projects and the artist, confirmed via Apple Music’s artist catalog listings.
