This came out in 2002 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Who better to provide the score for Anne Rice’s vampire movie Queen of the Damned than some of undisputed kings of the damned?
First and foremost, there’s the ultra-spooky Jonathan Davis from Korn, who wrote five suitably dark, gothic rockers for this soundtrack. Then you’ve got a whole choir of brooding, creepy vocalists — Static-X’s Wayne Static, Orgy’s Jay Gordon, Disturbed’s Dave Draiman, Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington and Mr. Undead America himself, Marilyn Manson — who rise from their coffins to sing ’em. Sure, most of them stick to the typical whispered-verse, bellowed-chorus approach. Even so, Davis’s tracks beat the hell out of the rest of the disc, which consists of the usual album tracks and unknowns. Next time, how about a whole disc of originals to sink our teeth into?
