About Queen Of The Damned

Product Description Today's darkest, edgiest rockers take solo turns singing brand-new songs by Korn's Jonathan Davis and Richard Gibbs for the soundtrack album to the vampire flick "Queen Of The Damned." In the film, the rock band led by the vampire Lestat is called Satan's Night Out. On the album, those original songs are performed by Wayne Static of Static-X, David Draiman of Disturbed, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Jay Gordon of Orgy, and Marilyn Manson. Also heard are tracks from Papa Roach, Deftones, Disturbed, Static-X, Earshot, Godhead, kidneythieves, Tricky and Dry Cell. "Queen Of The Damned" is so heavy, it's freakin' scary. Amazon.com Befitting the film's hip goth vibe, its accompanying soundtrack is suitably dark and sexy, with a strong mix of new songs and nü-metal hits. In an interesting move, frontman Jonathan Davis collaborated with composer (and former keyboardist) Richard Gibbs on 5 of the CD's 14 tracks, though Davis doesn't sing his songs. Instead, taking those duties are 's Wayne Static on "Not Meant for Me," 's David Draiman on "Forsaken," 's Chester Bennington on "System," on "Redeemer," and 's Jay Gordon on "Slept So Long." Most of the Davis-Gibbs collaborations are akin to more atmospheric, dramatic Korn tunes, lent a distinctive personality by each singer, with Manson's being the creepiest-coolest and most aggressive entry. While these adroit alliances make the soundtrack a must-have for each of the band's fans (not to mention the Korn faithful), the previously released cuts are also winners. ' creepy "Change," 's angry "Dead Cell," and Disturbed's memorable rage "Down with the Sickness"--in addition to lesser-known, but sinister and titillating offerings from , , Earshot, , and others--are all worth the price of admission to this "damned" stellar soundtrack. --Katherine Turman
