The Vampire Diaries

The Vampire Diaries is the original soundtrack to the The Vampire Diaries television series. It featured "The Fellowship" by The Smashing Pumpkins. Other artists include Silversun Pickups, Gorillaz, Placebo, and Jason Walker.

The show is about a young girl who unknowingly falls in love with a vampire. Despite him admitting he's dangerous, she can't help herself, and the story develops into a love triangle. Stereogum noted how "The Fellowship" lyric "are you with us, or against us" fits well with the theme.

When asked about why the band agreed to lend the song to the soundtrack, Billy Corgan said that "we heard a rumour that vampires were 'in' right now and to get the kids you got to get with the vampires."

Blogcritics.org considered "The Fellowship" to be the soundtrack's lead track. Consequence meanwhile praised the song, declaring it as "more engaging" than any Smashing Pumpkins song released since the 2000 breakup.
