Cain’s involvement began with discussions about adding textured vocals to the score, but developed into a full song, which she sings in Middle English.

The soundtrack is due digitally on 18 December, with vinyl to follow on 29 January through Sacred Bones. Set in 13th-century England, *Werwulf* follows a cursed, mute peasant who transforms into a werewolf under the full moon; the film is scheduled for UK cinemas on 1 January 2027 and US cinemas on Christmas Day.
