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?
+1 however if you want the anger and haunting part i recomend "kerosene - big black" especially if theres a scene involving fire
Jesus Lizard - Goat Jesus Lizard - Liar Butthole Surfers - Locust Abortion Technician Butthole Surfers - Psychic, Powerless, and Another Man's Sac Big Black - Songs About ****ing Residents - (pretty much everything) Sonic Youth - Evol Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation Dub Trio - All albums The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute Sleep - All albums
Check out some of the stuff The Mermen have done. Live from the Haunted House has some pretty moody songs on it (all instrumental). Also....The Ghastly Ones. Fast paced instro surf. Might be usable as well. 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.
If its in the Idaho wilderness you want something vaguely country-western and minimalist. I'd try some of the following. EARTH Pretty decent track for any positive parts. Great album.
Mastodon - elephant man Good atmosphere Pretty much anything off of NiN's ghosts albums or the Fragile would be great as well.
the tooth fairy and the princess by husker du for paranoia 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
The first thing that came to mind for me was: Bauhaus -- Bela Lugosi's Dead Especially the 1st 2:50 or so.
Remamber a day A saucerful of secrets set the contrils for the heart of the sun Atom Heart mother suite -Pink Floyd-
+1 to damn near all of these. and i would add anything by "The Agony Scene"(they do a cool cover of Paint it Black) or maybe an instrumental from "The Dillenger Escape Plan" (extreme screamers but there music is crazy good with wacked out timings and cool ambient noises) Sorry i forget the names of the songs for DEP that are instrumentals but they are easy enough to find. cheers and good luck with your selection. -Gabe-
