Robin Carolan et Sebastian Gainsborough ont composé la bande originale du film The Northman. Björk a participé aux parties vocales avec de nombreux autres collaborateurs. Sa voix n’est pas distinctement identifiable, elle est mêlée au chœur.
Thank you to Jonas Lorentzen, Visy Bloodaxe, Karin Ericsson Back, Lyra Pramuk, Björk, Dessi Stefanova and Adrian Peacock for lending us the power and beauty of your incredible voices.

You were patient and kind when we were so clearly shitting ourselves, so flexible when we were pushing you hard and ultimately you just got what we were trying to do, and brought it to life.
