Stranger Things<\/em><\/a> has released a trailer for its long-awaited season 5, and once again, the Netflix sci-fi series has featured a song from one of classic rock’s biggest bands.<\/p>\n Set in 1987, the\u00a0show’s final season promises all sorts of supernatural mayhem, as the embattled residents of Hawkins wage their final war against Vecna and the various monsters lurking inside the Upside Down. They’ve also got to face the United States government, which has placed Hawkins under military quarantine as it frantically hunts for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding.<\/p>\n The Stranger Things<\/em> season 5 trailer, which you can watch below, teases all manner of\u00a0interdimensional havoc and military firefights. It’s soundtracked, fittingly, to a retooled version of Deep Purple<\/a>‘s “Child in Time,” which\u00a0originally appeared on the band’s fourth album, 1970’s\u00a0Deep Purple in Rock<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n This is far from the first time\u00a0Stranger Things<\/em> has featured a classic rock or metal song. Metallica<\/a>‘s “Master of Puppets” played a pivotal role in the season 4 finale<\/a>, with high school headbanger Eddie Munson distracting the Upside Down’s demobats by tearing through the thrash metal classic on his guitar. The feature caused the song’s streams to skyrocket, and “Master of Puppets” now boasts more than 1 million Spotify plays.<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> 69 Times Rock Music Made ‘Stranger Things’ Even Stranger<\/a><\/p>\n Stranger Things<\/em> has additionally featured anthems by\u00a0the\u00a0Police<\/a>, the\u00a0Clash<\/a>,\u00a0Duran Duran<\/a>,\u00a0Toto<\/a>,\u00a0Bon Jovi<\/a>,\u00a0Peter Gabriel<\/a>,\u00a0Journey<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Kiss<\/a>.
