Return to Silent Hill (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) accompanies the 2026 psychological horror film Return to Silent Hill, directed by Christophe Gans and based on the acclaimed video game Silent Hill 2. The original score was composed by Akira Yamaoka, the long-time Silent Hill composer known for his atmospheric and industrial-inspired work on the classic video game soundtracks and previous Silent Hill films, blending eerie ambient textures, unsettling motifs and haunting melodic fragments to reflect the film’s psychological terror and fog-shrouded setting.
The soundtrack album was released digitally on January 23, 2026 via Laced Records (under licence to Room 318 Productions, Inc.). It contains 50 original score tracks, running approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, and is available on major platforms including Apple Music, Spotify and digital download services.
Yamaoka’s music for Return to Silent Hill uses minimalist piano, dissonant drones, industrial ambience and sparse instrumentation to evoke a sense of unease, psychological tension and uncanny atmosphere, creating a soundscape where music and environmental sound blur, supporting both subtle emotional beats and the film’s horror set pieces without conventional melodic resolution.
