Classic Rock: Televisions Supernatural Music Soundtrack

We are now seeing a new trend in television. The soundtrack of television shows nowadays are really good, just listen to the show Supernatural. Music has always been a big part of a show’s success. However, most people think that it isn’t what makes or break a show. They would be dead wrong. Granted that plot, acting, direction, script, and other film elements are central to shows; good music can bring in more fans and can significantly affect the mood of the show.

Let’s take a closer look at Supernatural’s music soundtrack to illustrate the point. The classic rock of Supernatural music is clever and fits perfectly with the entirety of a show which features a slew of demon slaying, werewolf slaying, vampire slaying, monster slaying, and even ghost busting. The action packed scenes gets even more pumped up when the hard metal riffs start reverberating and pounding on your ears, head, and chest.

The story of supernatural begins with the mysterious death of a mother, the vanishing of a demon hunting father, and the meeting of two brothers who decide to find answers. The brothers Dean and Sam Winchester are the main characters in the show. The two drive all around the country (road trip) in a 1967 Chevy Impala looking into paranormal activities in hopes that they will find clues to their father’s whereabouts and their mother’s death. These mysteries are solved when they finally find their dad in the past season. Dean and Sam are also able to kill the demon Azazel who is revealed to be their mother’s murderer. After that, a new problem arises. Dean saved Sam’s life by signing a deal with the devil. In doing so, he resigned his fate which is to be dragged into hell body and soul after a year’s time. In the end, the two fail to find a solution to this and Dean is dragged down to the pit of eternal torment. But in season four, we see Dean waking up to an angel who says that he saved his soul from hell.

Most reviews of Supernatural seem to leave out this important mention of its music supervisor being brilliant at her job. One should honor Alexandra Patsavas for her magnificent music taste which is helping out the ratings of Supernatural. Music keeps pumping visceral rock while the two brothers run around the place escaping near death and battling those damn bad-ass monsters. Just listen to these great hits being played in the show. It has AC/DC, Echo and the Bunnymen, Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Sound Garden, and the like. Supernatural music is so great, its album sales are doing so well.
