Black Adam Score – Meet Composer Lorne Balfe

The energetic and powerful score in Black Adam comes from renowned Scottish composer Lorne Balfe.

Balfe’s credits include MCU entry Black Widow, Ghost in the Shell, and the Assassin’s Creed video game franchise.

Speaking to Comicbook.com, Balfe explained how he based the Black Adam score on Dwayne Johnson’s personality fused with the anti-hero’s character:

“The Black Adam main theme, I’d like to think when you close your eyes and you see The Rock, that’s what you hear. There was taking a pinch of his personality, as well as the character of Black Adam. It all had to go together. It’s been a great feedback, regarding it.”
