Complete Creature Commandos Soundtrack: Explore Every Song from James Gunn’s DC Universe TV Series

Creature Commandos presents an enthralling soundtrack that kick-starts James Gunn’s DC Universe (DCU) with a bang. As the inaugural installment of DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, this series diverges significantly from traditional superhero narratives. It immerses viewers in a universe filled with iconic horror movie monsters and haunted castles, complemented by an equally vibrant musical backdrop.

The Creature Commandos soundtrack is a blend of original compositions and carefully selected songs, primarily drawing inspiration from Eastern European folk traditions and the dark cabaret genre. Gunn has openly credited bands like The Dresden Dolls and Gogol Bordello as pivotal influences in shaping the musical atmosphere for the first season.
