Ghost Announces Release of '2 Big To Rig' Soundtrack
Swedish occult rock band Ghost announced on August 15, 2023 that the official soundtrack for their upcoming feature film "2 Big To Rig" will be released worldwide on August 27, 2023 through Loma Vista Recordings. Titled "2 Big To Rig (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)", the album serves as the audio companion to the second Ghost‑produced movie and will be available for streaming and digital download. The announcement was posted on the band’s official website and shared across their social‑media channels, confirming that the soundtrack will be distributed digitally by Loma Vista Recordings, the label that has handled the group’s recent releases. The record will appear on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, and can be purchased in high‑resolution formats via the label’s online store. While the full track listing has not been disclosed, the band’s press release states that the music will feature the same blend of heavy metal, psychedelic rock, and theatrical occult motifs that have defined Ghost’s catalog. Ghost, led by frontman Tobias Forge, earned a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2016 and has since expanded its artistic output beyond traditional album cycles. "2 Big To Rig" marks the group’s second feature‑film project, following the 2022 release of the horror‑themed movie "The Gospel of the Great Unclean" and its accompanying soundtrack. The new film is described as a “rock‑infused narrative adventure” that continues the band’s exploration of cinematic storytelling, though specific plot details remain under wraps. The upcoming soundtrack arrives at a time when Ghost is preparing for a world tour slated for 2024, suggesting that material from the film may be incorporated into live performances. Industry analysts note that the dual release strategy—film and soundtrack—mirrors the band’s recent trend of creating immersive multimedia experiences for fans. By pairing visual media with a dedicated musical score, Ghost reinforces its reputation as a theatrical rock act that blurs the line between concert and cinema. Historically, Ghost’s foray into film soundtracks began with "Music from the Motion Picture: The Gospel of the Great Unclean" in 2022, which featured original compositions that complemented the movie’s dark, ritualistic aesthetic. The new "2 Big To Rig" soundtrack is expected to build on that foundation, offering listeners a cohesive sonic narrative that aligns with the film’s themes. For long‑time supporters, the release provides another entry point into the band’s evolving mythos, while newcomers may discover Ghost’s distinctive blend of melodic metal and occult theatrics through the accessible streaming format.
