Stranger Things Season 5 Trailer Soundtrack: What Song Was Playing?

In a recent development, the tantalizing teaser for Season 5 of Stranger Things has been released, leaving fans on edge to discover the mysterious tune that accompanies it. Crafted by brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, this final installment unfolds a year after its previous season’s events. The beloved gang finds themselves back in Hawkins following news about a Rift that’s ripped their town apart. Their mission remains unchanged: to hunt down and eliminate Vecna, but they soon find themselves face-to-face with an even more formidable adversary.

As the excitement mounts, let me fill you in on all the details about the song that’s being showcased.

What metal song was playing in the Stranger Things Season 5 teaser trailer?

In the preview for Stranger Things Season 5, you can hear ‘Child in Time,’ a tune by Deep Purple. For the show’s soundtrack, this popular classic rock melody has been reworked.

The band debuted the song on their fourth studio album, Deep Purple in Rock, which was released in 1970. They modeled its organ riff after “Bombay Calling” by It’s a Beautiful Day. Although the story unfolds in the 1980s, the song creates an atmosphere of impending danger and heightened tension. In the trailer, Steve Harrington cranks up this track at the powerful WSQK radio station.

Amplifying the track to its maximum level seems like Harrington is gearing up for another potential danger in Hawkins, Indiana – a pattern we’ve noticed in the show where heavy metal tunes are often employed to echo the gravity of key moments.

In the thrilling finale of Season 4, I found myself hoisting my cherished BC Rich Warlock guitar atop my RV in the eerie Upside Down realm. As the sky darkened and ominous red flashes of lightning streaked across, I couldn’t help but feel a chilling sense of destiny as Vecna made his appearance. With a trembling voice, I exclaimed, “It seems she was born for another dimension.” Then, with every ounce of courage, I strummed the opening chords of Master of Puppets by Metallica.

In the year 2025, Stranger Things Season 5 will be released in three segments: first on November 26th, next on Christmas Day (December 25th), and finally on New Year’s Eve (December 31st).
