An original score to the film was composed by Michael Wandmacher. Wandmacher's primary focus in making the score was to "create a definitive musical identity for the Punisher. I knew I needed something dark, relentless and muscular, but I also couldn't forget Frank's humanity, his personal torment and deep sadness. So, I approached the job equally as a fan and as a composer." In order to make the character of Frank Castle seem less one dimensional, Wandmacher decided to include snare cadences and powerful, dynamic ostinatos and slowly rising string repetitions to mimic a relentless entity, like an approaching battalion.

And the mountain tops that freeze
Bow themselves when he did sing.

Ever sprung, as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.”
