und Hölle (From John Wick: Chapter 4 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) digitally March 31—a four-song EP of original music by Le Castle Vania.

In John Wick: Chapter 4, John Wick (Reeves) uncovers a path to defeating The High Table. But before he can earn his freedom, Wick must face off against a new enemy with powerful alliances across the globe and forces that turn old friends into foes.
Says Eiland: “It’s been an insanely wild and fun ride working on the John Wick film series. Since the very beginning starting with the first film, I’ve worked closely with the director Chad Stahelski and the score composers Tyler Bates and Joel J Richard to write custom unique pieces of music that really embody the energy and raw power of the John Wick franchise. Over the last decade, I feel like we have all really continued to hone our skills, elevate our crafts, and expand our vision of what the John Wick universe is and what it should sound like. In this latest chapter, I feel like we took that vision and cranked everything all the way up to 11.”
