WaterTower Music has announced the release of the Mortal Kombat II Original Motion Picture Soundtrack on major digital streaming platforms. The album features an original score by composer Benjamin Wallfisch and includes a new version of the iconic franchise theme “Techno Syndrome,” with vocals from Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon. An official music video for “Techno Syndrome” was also released in conjunction with the soundtrack, which you can watch below.
Built to match the scale, intensity, and mythology of the film, the soundtrack channels the brutal energy and adrenaline that have defined Mortal Kombat for generations, while reimagining one of the most recognizable themes in video game history for a new era.
Composer Benjamin Wallfisch says ‘Scoring Mortal Kombat has been a truly special creative experience. It is a world of immense scale, intensity, and mythology, but what inspired me most was the emotion and humanity that [director] Simon McQuoid and the entire filmmaking team brought to it beneath the spectacle. In creating this music, I wanted to honor the legacy of Mortal Kombat while bringing depth, feeling, and cinematic scope to its story. This album reflects the extraordinary work of so many brilliant musicians and collaborators, and I’m deeply grateful to all of them for helping bring it to life. I’m very proud to share this music, and I hope listeners enjoy experiencing it as its own journey.’
In addition to the digital release, Waxwork Records is releasing deluxe double LP’s of both the Mortal Kombat (2021) and Mortal Kombat II (2026) soundtracks by Wallfisch. The Mortal Kombat Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is being released in “Scorpion” and “Sub-Zero” colored vinyl, while Mortal Kombat II is being released in “Johnny Cage” and “Otherworld” colored vinyl.
Ahead of the full soundtrack release, WaterTower Music also released “Mortal Kumbia,” a cumbia-inspired reinterpretation of “Techno Syndrome” by Amantes del Futuro, offering an updated take on the legendary theme.
Speaking about the track, Del Futuro shared “Mortal Kombat, it’s a classic. I was honored to be asked to make a cover of Techno Syndrome and be a part of its legacy. Doing a Cumbia version was a very fun and also a challenging experience. Cumbia is a very special rhythm and has the characteristic to be timeless—it connects across generations and that is very beautiful. I think the exercise of tropicalizing this iconic song is a very nice surprise to all the Latin fans of this video game, who have been part of this story for so long.”
Expanding the campaign beyond the soundtrack itself, the release also includes a custom playlist generator experience inspired by the world of Mortal Kombat. Fans can choose their fighter and take part in a “Test Your Might” mini game, a callback to the original video game’s iconic challenge mechanic, which determines the outcome of a personalized playlist experience. The activation offers fans an interactive way to celebrate the music featured in the Mortal Kombat films and games throughout the franchise history. Experience the custom playlist generator HERE.
