Who Composed the Overhaul Score?
According to official crew credits, the score for Overhaul was composed by Rogério da Costa Jr., Fabiano Krieger, and Lucas Marcier, with music licensing handled by Patrícia Portaro. Some earlier online listings for this film incorrectly credited the American thrash metal band Megadeth as the film’s composer — this appears to be an error, and we have not found a verifiable source confirming Megadeth wrote or licensed music specifically for Overhaul. If you’ve seen that claim elsewhere, treat it with caution; the credited composers above come directly from the film’s official crew listing.
