World War Z (Music from the Motion Picture) accompanies the 2013 zombie action film World War Z, directed by Marc Forster and starring Brad Pitt. The original score was composed by Marco Beltrami, with additional music contributions from Marcus Trumpp, Buck Sanders and Brandon Roberts, blending tense orchestral textures to support the film’s global survival narrative and dramatic set pieces.
The soundtrack album, World War Z: Music from the Motion Picture, was released June 18, 2013 via Warner Bros. Records. It contains 11 original score tracks running approximately 44 minutes and is available on major digital platforms including Apple Music and streaming services; formats include CD, digital and vinyl releases. Tracks include Philadelphia, Zombies in Coach, No Teeth, No Bite and A River Around a Rock.
In addition to Beltrami’s score, the film features licensed songs used within certain scenes, most notably “The 2nd Law: Isolated System” and “Follow Me” by Muse (the latter in its instrumental form) appearing in the film and often associated with key moments or the end credits. Other songs credited include “Go” performed by Kari Kimmel and “Villa Del Refugio” by This Will Destroy You, used under specific narrative cues. These licensed tracks are separate from the official score album.
