Bear McCreary Talks ‘Walking Dead’ Season 2 Music

Bear McCreary falls victim to the zombie apocalypse, not once but twice this fall. AMC has airing the second season of the acclaimed series The Walking Dead and BuySoundtrax Records has announced the November 2nd release of his original songs and score for Chillerama: Zom-B-Movie. To celebrate these two events, McCreary has launched a new version of his very popular website and blog www.bearmccreary.com.

AMC’s critically acclaimed original series, The Walking Dead, is back with its highly anticipated second season. Based on one of the most successful and popular comic books of all time, written by Robert Kirkman, AMC’s The Walking Dead captures the ongoing human drama following a zombie apocalypse. The series follows a group of survivors who are traveling in search of a safe and secure home. However, instead of the zombies, it is the living who remain that truly become the walking dead. The show boasted the highest ratings for a cable series in 2010 and its season finale had the biggest average seasonal audience in the 18-49 demo of any drama in basic cable history. Season 2 premieres with a 90-minute episode on Sun., Oct. 16 at 9/8c.

“This season of The Walking Dead is even more terrifying, gripping and emotionally-charged than the first,” said McCreary. “I’m very excited to be back in this unique musical playground, working with dissonant string orchestra, electric banjo, detuned autoharps and other unusual instruments. Fans will be thrilled with the creative direction the series and the score are taking for this next season.”
