Pacific Rim: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the film of the same name. It was released on digital download from Amazon.com on June 18, 2013, and CD June 25, 2013.[1] The physical version of the soundtrack was released on July 9, 2013, three days before the theatrical release of the film itself.[2]

The film's score was composed by Ramin Djawadi, with guest musicians Tom Morello[4][5] and Priscilla Ahn.[2] In addition, the orchestra for the soundtrack consisted of over 100 musicians, including a Russian choir.[6]

Director Guillermo del Toro selected Djawadi based on his work on Prison Break, Iron Man, and Game of Thrones, stating: "His scores have a grandeur, but they have also an incredible sort of human soul." The director also stated that some Russian rap would be featured in the film.[7]
