Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man premiered in the UK this week and is currently playing in select cinemas across the UK ahead of its worldwide release on Netflix.
While Australian fans can’t watch the film just yet, they can at least soak up the atmosphere in the gritty, just-released accompanying movie soundtrack, which features some of our favourite homegrown artists.
Led by score composers Martin Slattery and Antony Genn, the soundtrack’s main musical collaborator is Fontaines D.C. frontman Grian Chatten. Two of the band’s songs—Romance and A Hero’s Death—appear on the soundtrack, while the band’s Carlos O’Connell and Tom Coll also contributed tracks.
Meanwhile, Chatten appears on original soundtrack numbers, Opium Dreams, Black Dahlia, The Tunnel, Medusa, Ellipsis, and Beckett Tests Duke, in addition to recording a cover of Massive Attack’s Angel.
The soundtrack features a reimagined, brooding take on Nick Cave’s Red Right Hand—the series’ theme tune—and welcomes another Australian artist: Amyl And The Sniffers’ Amy Taylor.
Taylor sings the fiery punk track, Nobody’s Son.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is the highly anticipated big-screen spin-off of the beloved Netflix historical drama. The film will see Cillian Murphy reprise his lead role as Tommy Shelby. He’ll be joined by Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Sophie Rundle, Barry Keoghan, and Stephen Graham, among others.
The film’s synopsis reads:
Birmingham, 1940. Amidst the chaos of WWII, Tommy Shelby is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet. With the future of the family and the country at stake, Tommy must face his own demons and choose whether to confront his legacy or burn it to the ground.
Check out the film’s trailer below.
Amyl And The Sniffers are currently celebrating their tenth anniversary, re-releasing their first two EPs, Giddy Up and Big Attraction, as a fully remastered vinyl release.
“We recorded and wrote over the afternoon… we’d never played together before that day,” Amy Taylor said. “It’s spontaneous, and fun and achievable in that time because to us it sounded more than good, and we weren’t perfectionists, and it didn’t matter.”
Reflecting on the anniversary on Instagram, the band wrote (in caps lock), “Thank you so much for being along for the ride, ten years is a long time, and we never would have imagined where it has taken us now.”
