An important part of the television series Dexter is none other than the music. Without it to set each appropriate mood, fans would be watching something not nearly as captivating as it has been for the past seven seasons. Various artists lend their music to the show to be used and with no doubt, the original score is truly amazing and worthy of the franchise...thanks to Daniel Licht.

SoundtracksEdit

There have been multiple soundtracks released thus far, including Original Scores and compilations of various songs used by artists in the series. In addition to the track name, where the song can be heard in the show will be provided (to help identify the music piece when you hear it).

It should be noted that not all the music from the series, both constructed by original artist Daniel Licht or music from other artists are included on all of the soundtracks. There are still many unaccounted for themes that have yet to be released on CD.
