Lakeshore Records and Sparks & Shadows have released the first soundtrack featuring Emmy Award-winning composer Bear McCreary’s original score for The Walking Dead.

The soundtrack is available now digitally and on CD. The vinyl LP will be released on Friday October 27, 2017.

For this long-awaited release, McCreary selected both his personal favorites from the first seven seasons, along with those most frequently requested by fans.

“When we started discussing the first season we agreed that drama, action, and horror would be felt more intimately if the score were used only in pivotal scenes, and that it should be written with tonal clarity,” McCreary explained of his initial approach to scoring The Walking Dead.
