In addition to advanced zombies, solid action sequences, and bouts of gore, Army of the Dead features an exceptionally great soundtrack that not only enhances the cinematic experience but also drives the emotion home. From ironically setting the montage of the undead subjugating LA to “Viva Las Vegas,” to bookending the plot with Elvis Presley’s “Suspicious Minds,” the soundtrack is one of 2021’s best.
The man behind the soundtrack is Zack Snyder’s long-time collaborator Tom Holkenborg, also known as Junkie XL, whose previous score credits include Mad Max: Fury Road, Godzilla vs. Kong, Deadpool, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Batman v Superman, and 300: Rise of an Empire, to name a few.
