In this edition of Throwback Thursday, we revisit Tyler Bates’ score to Doomsday, starring Rhona Mitra, Bob Hoskins and Alexander Siddiq. Fans of this post-apocalyptic action flick will recall badass driving stunts and cannibals, and the thrilling score which accompanies all the mayhem.
Tyler recently collaborated with director John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines, A Good Day To Die Hard) as Executive Music Producer on I.T., which features score by Timothy Wiliams — out September 23 on Lakeshore Records.
Listen now as Tyler talks about his experience scoring to Doomsday:
Post-Apocalypse Weekend: Music For The Road Warrior In You
The music of Tyler Bates is all kinds of awesome for that post-apocalyptic weekend you seek! Premiered exclusively on Lakeshore Records’ Facebook Page, watch the new video for “Slayer” by Tyler Bates from Doomsday (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) released by Lakeshore Records! The video features various scenes from the film (rent it on iTunes) in all its gritty, wasteland glory. See more below. What’s your favorite film of the post-apocalypse genre?
With every film he composes, Composer Timothy Williams (The Darkest Hour, Super, Doomsday) embues his music with the heart of the story. Lakeshore Recordsis excited to announce the release of Red Sky (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), with music by Timothy Williams. Williams is also the Orchestrator for Guardians of the Galaxy, scored by Composer Tyler Bates (The Darkest Hour, Super, Doomsday, Watchmen), opening this weekend. Red Sky (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) comes out on Tuesday, August 5th, but you can pre-order the album today.
Collaborating with Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Tyler Bates, Williams’ goal was to realize Bates’ musical objectives and Director James Gunn’s underlying message of an intergalactic “family” comprised of a rag-tag group of space-criminals with heart. The film has been described as a space opera — Marvel‘s answer to Star Wars. With all the high adventure, pageantry and epic destruction, the comparison is an easy one. With a team like Tyler Bates and Timothy Williams painting in the colors of the universe through the film score, expect the cosmos at your ears.

It has been described as a chase that “continues for 110 minutes,” according to Mad Max creator, George Miller. Can’t wait? Check out this roundup of seven memorable car chase movies that you’ll want to queue up on your playlist. The soundtracks released by Lakeshore Records are injected with enough adrenaline to get you through those long commutes with or without road warriors coming after you.
Hot rods, big guns, pyrotechnics and women who can hold their own in a fight, make for a rip-roaring time. Fast car chases, slow car chases and epic death-defying stunts performed while a vehicle is in motion, never seem to slow anybody down.
