Out Today by The Orchard: The Walking Dead, The Frightnrs & More

Posted by  • Filed under: Out Today

Taking a break this month may seem tough – summer serenity feels like a lifetime ago as the hours of sunlight grow shorter. Keep pushing through with the colors of fall, holidays, upcoming winter festivities and three incredible new releases. A pop voice with the melodies of heartbreak, beats having you at the edge of your seat from one the most popular TV shows, and a reggae sound destined for tranquility, are all Out Today.

Time for another season of the most riveting post-apocalyptic world, spewing with zombies and our favorite actors, coming together to destroy them. In case you are unsure of which show we’re talking about – The Walking Dead premieres it’s eighth season on AMC this Sunday, the 22nd. With a new season comes a new soundtrack by Bear McCreary. Prepare for a scare with fresh beats backdropping Daryl riding that infamous motorcycle, Michonne swinging her signature weapon, and most notably, Rick devising his many plans amidst dramatic beats to heighten your nerves. Get a taste of The Walking Dead (Original Television Soundtrack) from Lakeshore Records with the official trailer below.

Mike MilizzoIntroducing Mike Milizzo, Video Engineer, Film

My name is Michael Milizzo, but you can call me Mike. I recently joined The Orchard as a Video Engineer in the Film department.

I graduated from NYU with a BFA in film/television and the dream of becoming a studio executive. Nevertheless, my first job out of school was Story Assistant on The Real Housewives of Long Island. Alas, the world was deprived of the show due to cast members leaving, and it was rebranded as Secrets and Wives which lasted one season.
