| | | | Zombie Film Soundtrack-Need Suggestions!
Sign in to disble this ad
I'm putting together a soundtrack composed primarily of popular music for a zombie film.
The movie is set in the Idaho wilderness. The zombies are fairly ordinary by today's cinematic standards; the intent is to focus more on the group dynamics and maintaining (or losing) one's humanity.
Anyhow, what I need help with is song selections. I need pieces that evoke anger, paranoia, tension, hopelessness, essentially negative feelings. I'll need soft & slow songs, loud & intense music... So I'm open to many different suggestions.
So whaddya got? |

As an aside.....Garrett, the guitarist for the Ghastly Ones, did some of the special effects for The Walking Dead. You can see him in the time lapse footage of the bicycle girl makeup session.

EARTH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JciJ64XEKz4
Cult of Luna http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS06P...eature=related
I would pretty much take almost any song of theirs off of "Somewhere along the Highway" its a deep, dark, and moving album.
Grizzly Man Soundtrack
Can't find a link but the track "Treadwell no more" would be particularly awesome in that setting. Richard Thompson is the ****ing man.
Ravenous Soundtrack (by Damon Albarn) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy5xl...eature=related
If you can actually find a copy I'd probably rip off the Ravenous soundtrack. Errie at times. Really dark movie.
Calexico http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SY254KHtp8
Pretty decent track for any positive parts. Great album.

also look into a lot of post rock or metal.
russian circles comes to mind
so i guess we all kinda said atmospheric instrumental bands that bring out an emotion, so for what its worth maybe some Electric Wizard or Ahab

Especially the 1st 2:50 or so.

cheers and good luck with your selection.
