The Crow: Original Motion Picture Score contains original music written by Graeme Revell for the film The Crow. It was released in 1994.[1] It should not be confused with the soundtrack album, The Crow, which showcases the film's music by popular artists.

The score consists of mostly orchestral music, with some electronic and guitar elements, like the noteworthy song "Inferno" featured in the iconic scene where the title character performs a guitar solo on a rooftop on Devil's Night.[2][3][4][5][6]

In 2021 a deluxe edition was released, featuring the complete score plus an additional 30 minutes of unreleased material, largely consisting of early takes that were later incorporated into Revell's score for The Crow: City of Angels.[7][8]

In retrospect, composer Graeme Revell said: "This perhaps my signature work – it is one of the most copied scores ever I think. Most gothic, religious or horror/thriller scores now contain most of these elements; world music, ethnic female and male voices, industrial percussion etc."[9]
