Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) accompanies the 2004 martial arts western film Kill Bill: Volume 2, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. As with Vol. 1, the soundtrack blends curated selections with original score material overseen by RZA, whose contributions connect both chapters musically. While the first film leaned heavily into stylized action and exploitation influences, Vol. 2 shifts toward spaghetti western, folk and orchestral textures, reflecting the sequel’s more introspective tone.
The soundtrack album was released on April 13, 2004 via Maverick Records / Warner Bros. Records. It contains 15 tracks and runs approximately 59 minutes. The album is available on major digital platforms and has been issued on vinyl.
Musically, Vol. 2 expands the sonic world introduced in the first installment, incorporating compositions by Ennio Morricone and other vintage western influences alongside RZA’s score elements. Tracks by artists such as Malcolm McLaren and Shivaree contribute to the film’s atmospheric, character-driven approach, contrasting with the high-energy selections that defined Vol. 1.
As with the first film, the album combines original score cues and licensed songs, though not every piece heard in the movie appears on the official soundtrack release.
