Despite having scored some low-rent television series and films in the early 2000s, composer Tyler Bates’ career didn’t really kick into high gear until he hooked up with “Man of Steel” director Zack Snyder. Bates has scored four of the director’s films, including: “300,” “Watchmen,” and “Sucker Punch” — and now he’s constantly sought out by other high-profile genre directors like Rob Zombie and James Gunn. While his previous collaborations with Snyder have yielded lavish physical releases — including vinyl pressings — their first film together, the surprisingly good “Dawn of the Dead” remake, hasn’t had any type of release until now.
Although the film was originally released in 2004, it’s taken the better part of a decade for Milan Records to officially release Bates’ score. It will first be released digitally on services like iTunes and Amazon on October 16th before seeing a physical release the next week on October 23rd. The release runs a lengthy 31 tracks long, so it seems as though it contains the entirety of the score composed for the film. Check out the cover and tracklisting below. [Film Music Reporter]
