‘Rings of Power’ Season 2’s Stunning Soundtrack Is Getting a Huge, Hefty Release

There was a lot to love in the sophomore season of Amazon’s Lord of the Rings prequel, Rings of Power, last year—but one of the absolute highlights was Bear McCreary’s wild work on developing his own sound for Middle-earth in the series’ soundtrack. Now, you can get ready to enjoy it all without having to rewatch every episode, and enjoy it in style.

io9 has got your first look at the fancy physical edition release of McCreary’s Rings of Power season 2. Born from a deal between McCreary’s own independent label, Sparks & Shadows Records, and art company Mutant (who helped McCreary launch his rock concept album The Singularity last year), Mutant will release a grand, 10-disc physical collection. 8 of those discs will be dedicated to individual orchestral recordings for the episodic scores of each episode in the season, while the last two will encompass the broader original soundtrack release for Rings of Power season 2.

On top of that is A Composer’s Journey, a 130-page booklet penned by McCreary that explores an episode-by-episode breakdown of how the composer approached scoring the second season, delving into his creative process, from initial ideas, to scoring, and then to producing the final package. Speaking of that final package, all this will come in a lavish slipcase box featuring gold foil design work inspired by the series, as well as imagery from the show.
