EXCLUSIVE! ‘The Walking Dead’ Soundtrack: Listen To ‘Glenn’s Wheels’ By Bear McCreary | Nerdist

This track is one of the earliest pieces that McCreary wrote for the show, and he said it presented the first opportunity for him to “establish a musical language for scoring action” on The Walking Dead. It’s an energetic piece that starts light and airy but suddenly dips in and out of a thundering, frenetic bass line. – Clara Mae, Nerdist

EXCLUSIVE! ‘The Walking Dead’ Soundtrack: Hear ‘The Governor’ by Bear McCreary | IGN

Genre-defying score – Terri Schwartz, IGN

Lakeshore Records is thrilled to debut a track off the long-awaited album release, The Walking Dead (Original Television Series Soundtrack), featuring score by Bear McCreary!  Listen to “The Governor” now at IGN.  This track signifies a turning point in the characters: “From this track onwards, the score would become increasingly seared by electronic textures. Our characters were never the same after they encountered this terrifying man, so I think it’s fitting his music had a permanent effect on the music of the show,” says McCreary.
