Daredevil: Born Again episode 6 official soundtrack —   Connection to the plot explored

Throughout its Episode 6 titled "Excessive Force," Daredevil: Born Again seems to rely massively on music to heighten emotional notes and mark the transformation loop of characters.

When the show's creators brought back Matt Murdock as the Man Without Fear and the eerie and gripping ascend of Muse, the music score was used as a primary vehicle for the plot.

The Featured Licensed Track: “Bow Down” by JJ Wiseboy

Written by: Jeff Neil Brodsky & Jacob Jordan Weisenburger

Performed by: JJ Wiseboy

Scene Placement: Final confrontation between Daredevil and Muse

The high moment of the" Bow Down" track is obviously in the final showdown between Daredevil and Muse. On one hand, it's somber, blunt, and aurally aggressive, very similar to the emotional part of the episode.

Muse, a disheveled killer who enjoys the most unusual executions, takes his work too far, exchanging blows with Matt Murdock. As they meet each other in the dark warehouse filled with the villain's many 'installations,' the song starts, and thus, the scene becomes powerfully appealing with the bass and the amazing vocals.

The track selection process is highly meaningful. The title, "Bow Down," is directly connected to the themes of power, subjugation, and dominance.

The fight becomes not only between two people but also a clash of beliefs. The music raises the tension to a high point, thus revealing that this is no longer a battle but a setting of the most difficult problems of the mind.

The Original Score: The Newton Brothers Return Daredevil to His Roots

Composers: The Newton Brothers

Track: End Credits Theme for “Excessive Force”

Incorporates motifs from: John Paesano and Braden Kimball’s original Daredevil theme

The Newton Brothers, who were new to the Born Again series, were entrusted with the task of creating a soundscape that respected the character's legacy while adding something daring and original. The outcome in the sixth episode is more than just great; it is a perfect example of how to create music that matches the atmosphere and characters of the series.

As the showdown is over, the episode finishes with its end credits. At this point, the original composition of The Newton Brothers comes in. We hear sad tones from the beginning, but with the music slowly building, the Daredevil theme can be heard as it was in the Netflix era.

Kind of a smart musical signal, don't you think?

Matt Murdock has not lost his identity as the man who used to wander Hell’s Kitchen, it's just that his journey has become more gloomy, grown-up, and more profound.

The music grows gradually louder with strings and low bass. By the end of the credits, it captures the depth of Matt's internal conflict. Only the music tells us about the transformation, which was unspoken yet agreed upon.

How the sound shapes the narrative

"Bow Down" crashes in with a raw punch that ramps up the conflict in a way you might not expect, it channels the grit and the looming fear of slipping out of control during Daredevil’s skirmish with Muse.

At the same time, the score by the Newton Brothers isn’t merely hanging in the background; it almost narrates the tale on its own. Those familiar Daredevil themes pop up unexpectedly, giving the whole thing a full-circle vibe that catches you off guard, even as it repeats ideas already heard.

Then there’s that end credits tune, which works like a quiet, reflective goodbye. Sure, there’s plenty of action, but that final note nudges you to remember the deeper layers: identity struggles, moral questions, and the heavy load of heroism.

Final Thoughts

Daredevil: Born Again Episode 6 feels like a real turning point for the show, with the soundtrack riding shotgun every step of the way. From JJ Wiseboy’s explosive hit "Bow Down" to the bittersweet, almost ghostly pieces by the Newton Brothers, every sound is loaded with purpose.

It isn’t just background noise; it’s like the story is being sung in a raw, unpredictable manner, perfectly blending both the chaos of battle and the calm of introspection.
