Various Artists – Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Soundtrack – Ltd. Import Smoke Marble 2LP

Comes on smoke marble 2LP – limited edition, import. Released in May – 2026 by RCA/Sony Records. Ever since Tommy Shelby first trotted through the muddy, industrial slums of Birmingham to the ominous thrum of Nick Cave’s “Red Right Hand,” Peaky Blinders has treated its music not just as a backdrop, but as a primary character. With the arrival of the highly anticipated feature film The Immortal Man, the stakes are higher, the era has shifted, and the soundtrack—an expansive, brooding 36-track monolith—has evolved into a spectacular, anachronistic tempest of post-punk defiance and cinematic dread. At the helm of this sonic architecture are long-time Peaky mastermind composers Antony Genn and Martin Slattery. Tasked with bridging the gap between orchestral gravity and raw indie-rock vitriol, Genn and Slattery provide a sweeping, tension-fueled original score. Tracks like “No Heaven No Hell for Duke Shelby” and “Duke’s Descent” anchor the film in its familiar, blood-and-whiskey-soaked atmosphere. But what makes The Immortal Man an essential listen is how it uses its massive canvas to introduce fierce new voices into the fold, building a bridge between 1940s post-WWII trauma and contemporary existential anxiety. The true beating heart of this record belongs to Grian Chatten of Fontaines D.C., who acts as a sort of musical shadow to Cillian Murphy’s Tommy Shelby. Chatten lends his distinctive, poetic snarl to several original pieces and collaborations, most notably “Black Dahlia” and the eerie, propulsive “Puppet.” Fontaines D.C. fans will also delight in the inclusion of their own defining tracks like “A Hero’s Death” and “Romance,” which feel seamlessly retrofitted for the Shelby universe. Chatten’s chemistry with Irish avant-folk heavyweights Lankum on a stunning, newly reimagined version of “Hunting The Wren” provides one of the album’s most genuinely chilling highlights. It is a drone-heavy, bone-rattling piece of modern folklore that perfectly mirrors the ghosts haunting the Shelby dynasty. The record also doesn’t skimp on adrenaline. Amy Taylor (Amyl and the Sniffers) teams up with Fontaines drummer Tom Coll, Genn, and Slattery for “Nobody’s Son”—a blistering, high-octane track. “Red Right Hand (Immortal)” – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: You can’t have a Peaky finale without the king. This brand-new, weathered recording of the franchise’s anthem sounds older, wiser, and significantly more menacing. “Angel” – Grian Chatten: A transformative, claustrophobic cover of the Massive Attack classic that swaps trip-hop vulnerability for a smoky, late-night industrial desperation. “Teardrop” – Girl In The Year Above: Another brilliant Massive Attack reinvention, offering a ethereal, ghostly reprieve amidst the album’s aggressive post-punk terrain. The Immortal Man soundtrack succeeds as it refuses to play it safe. By blending Genn and Slattery’s traditional, atmospheric scoring with the razor-sharp edge of modern alternative music icons like Fontaines D.C. and Lankum, it proves that the spirit of Small Heath isn’t bound by a specific era. It’s a dark, triumphant companion piece to an epic saga.
