About This Soundtrack
The 2026 action thriller Normal, directed by Ben Wheatley and starring Bob Odenkirk, tells the story of Ulysses, a substitute sheriff called to a quaint, snowbound Minnesota town. What begins as an ordinary dispatch quickly escalates into a high-stakes standoff as Ulysses comes to the aid of a bank-robbing couple and uncovers a massive international criminal conspiracy operating right beneath the town's quiet surface. The film's tense, snowbound atmosphere is elevated by a carefully crafted and highly eclectic musical identity that perfectly captures the contrast between domestic calm and explosive criminal violence.
The soundtrack for Normal is defined by its outstanding dual-natured presentation. The film's original score, co-composed by veteran British composer Harry Gregson-Williams and electronic music producer Ryder McNair, delivers a pulsating blend of driving brass, traditional suspense strings, and modern synthesized beats that drive the movie's relentless action sequences. Alongside their high-octane score, the film features a curated selection of vintage blues, soul, and hard rock licensed tracks, including John Lee Hooker's classic 'Boom Boom', Janis Martin's rockabilly hit 'Bang Bang', and a rare Japanese heavy metal cover of Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid' by 王様+Blood Sabbath.

Did you know?
- Harry Gregson-Williams and Ryder McNair: The original score represents an exciting partnership between veteran film composer Harry Gregson-Williams (Shrek, The Chronicles of Narnia) and rising talent Ryder McNair, resulting in a unique blending of classic orchestral suspense and gritty electronic production.
- Japanese Paranoid Cover: The film uses a rare Japanese language cover of Black Sabbath's iconic hit 'Paranoid', performed by 王様+Blood Sabbath. The energetic metal cover plays during a high-octane action sequence in the snow.

About the Movie
Normal (2026) is a fast-paced action thriller directed by Ben Wheatley, with a screenplay written by Derek Kolstad (creator of John Wick and Nobody). The plot follows Ulysses (played by Bob Odenkirk), a mild-mannered substitute officer who is sent to take over as temporary sheriff in the isolated town of Normal, Minnesota. Fleeing a past marred by professional trauma and a crumbling marriage, he sees the peaceful rural community as the perfect refuge to wind down his routine and finally find some moral and psychological rest.
However, the apparent tranquility of Normal is brutally shattered when a clumsy local bank robbery goes completely sideways. The investigation into the crime ends up blowing open a complex and dangerous criminal conspiracy that involves everything from the residents' own secrets to connections with the Japanese Yakuza. Surrounded by a town armed to the teeth and full of bizarre secrets, the protagonist is forced to abandon his peaceful stance and unleash his old combat skills to start a violent, night-long confrontation, fighting to survive and expose the true face of the community.
