Just catchy music in the trailer to attract attention, probably not part of the actual soundtrack considering the film period.
Just like the entirety of Cocaine Bear was set to the Melle Mel 1983 classic “White Lines”, because the trailer was. 🙄
Anyway, will watch. That part of the Dracula mythos hasn’t been nearly as done to death as most everything else.

Sure. But it ruins the whole trailer. And poor marketing doesn't speak well to the movie's quality.
Didn't ruin it for me, granted, I would have preferred period-compatible music, but the Smashing Pumpkins song was (still is?) very popular in its day and it's overall attention grabbing because of it. (look at the topic it created here)
edit: I'd not let it keep you from watching if the story is something you're into and it seems you are.
Saw this last night, I loved the more monster design of Dracula, it makes him a lot more menacing. The human characters were kind of lame and flat. The only one I who seemed three dimensional was the captain, probably due to Liam Cunningham being the strongest actor, by far. The atmosphere and horror elements more than make up for it though.
