As I ventured through the antiFILES looking
for some kind of new or neglected release to entertain me for an hour or
two, the Jason Vs. Freddy soundtrack managed to catch my eye. As one could
judge from the track listening, the album offers a nice little collection
of heavier numetal tracks, which diverts off at times into some reeeeel
shiat like Lamb of God or In Flames.
What ever your experience with procedure
in reviewing soundtracks place it out of your mind, as I take you through
track by track in this release (much akin to a Numetal for Dummies guide).
I would however like to state that I know absolutely nothing about this
upcoming movie, bar a rather helpful statement from Keavin (We know the
movie is gonna blow but it definitely has a killer sound track).
We kick off this shindig with a track from
Ill Nino named "How Can I Live". For those of you accustomed to the somewhat
jagged and rusty style of Ill Nino from Revolution Revolution, fear
not. This track manages to flow rather nicely as the boys become more comfortable
with their smooth (yet heavy) style. Hopefully this is indicative of their
upcoming release (a killer album is there for the taking boys).
Next we dive straight into a Killswitch
Engage entitled "When Darkness Falls". Nothing particularly different here,
just straight up violent Killswitch with a bit of a funky chorus. Spineshank
are up next with a track of their new album entitled "Beginning Of The
End". Not one of the heaviest tracks off their upcoming release, but still
an apt representation of their style smooth and fast.
"Sun Doesnt Rise" is actually the first
track Ive heard from Mushroomhead. A rather hip-hip come Slipknot mix,
not a bad use of the two vocalists - but towards the end the song seems
rather drawn out. "Condemned Until Rebirth" by Hatebreed falls in next.
Typical Hatebreed that crazy vocalist and the extremely violent guitar-drum
combination. I get somewhat distracted on this track because Im DAMN SURE
that little intro riff is exactly the same as the theme from "Red Dwarf!"
Next up is an old demo (1997) from our
old friends Slipknot named "Snap". Now, Ive always been a fan of older
Slipknot and I think this song just highlights the attractive concepts
they bring; the music is fast, violent and heavy Chimaira comes next with
the track "Army of Me". Now I dont know much about this band in particular,
but I do know that this is a damn cool song, and Im going to be on the
lookout for some of their other stuff. One of the heavier tracks on the
compilation.
The From Autumn to Ashes song just pisses
me off; it starts out with some badass double bass and a heavy riff but
just flows into a hella annoying punk track. "Leech" by Sevendust sounds
like an outtake from the Home period. Powerman 5000s "Bombshell"
sounds a hell of a lot heavier than any of their tracks off their latest
release. Definitely a better sound for the band.
Other musical gems appear in Stone Sours
"Inside The Cynic" a somewhat abstract numetal song, Sepulturas "The
Waste" (with Mike Patton!), a classic In Flames track entitled "Trigger"
(one of the best tracks on the CD) and finally Lamb of Gods "11th Hour".
The CD has its heavier sections as well
as a few down periods; but all in all its a hell of an effort and a quick
summary of the newer heavy/numetal scene. Hopefully the tracks from In
Flames, Chimaira and Lamb of God can convert a few solely numetal listeners
over to the darker side of music. A damn solid effort for a movie which
promises to be absolute shithouse.

this CD kicks as*s. SLIPKNOT, SHROOMHEAD, HATEBREED, they all kill
f*uck you maggots rules
Posted by Shagrash:
Why no mention of the type o song?
Posted by Hobo:
Slipknot are medicore at best. Joey's a great drummer and Corey's a good vocalist, but IOWA blew and Self Titled was far from memorable. Try Testament, SYL, LOG, Death & Unearth if you want some real goddam heavy metal. And Maggot King - unless you're a member of Slipknot I dare say you're just nothing more than some idiotic obsessive fan who should be burned for heat energy.

Posted by The Unbiased:
While Slipknot was good in 'Wait and Bleed', the rest of their songs are just random screaming and other crap. Hell, they don't even know how to use their instruments right.
Posted by Corrupti0n:
Uhh, ok. Of course you can't live without Hatebreed, Slipknot/Stone Sour, or Chimaira..the rest fϊcking suck except Seether and Ill Nino. Call my a retard or whatever, it's not going to hurt me. You kids are just kidding yourselves into being one of higher intelligence in high school than the others because you think being a 'stoner' or a 'freak' is cool. It's not. Really, it's not cool to kid yourself in terms of popularity. Get over yourselves and listen to what you really like, and go buy some Shania Twain CD's or something. As I said before, you can't live without Hatebreed, Slipknot/Stone Sour, or Chimaira. Now post your replies consisting of incoherent sentences and mis-spelled words, and after you do, grab the phonebook and start calling around for some Grammar School and/or Social 2 classes.

This sound track is the best thing since Iowa. ithink that all the songs fit the move perfectly. it's heavy and itt's what the world needs. But i have to say F U Hobo, Mushroomhead is f**ken awesome !
Posted by stonerette:

P.S. i hate punk
Posted by shroomy:
this soundtrack is the sh it. it is the best cd,loaded with everything, killswitch engage, in flames, sevendust, it has it all. not to mention one of the best hatebreed and ill nino songs
Posted by Fukhed:
i dissagree with the review on the from autumn to ashes song... look into that band more... i mean come on did u know that drummer is a girl? and she sings to to make it a beautiful mix of heavy, melodic, amazing music. theres nothing punk about it.... thankyou!
Posted by Hobo:
I've gotta say this again - Jason X - two women go 'do you want to have premarital sex' or some such thing. Next scene, Jason has one of the girls in her sleeping bag, and beating the otherone to death with her. Its just... beautiful. I laughed for 3 days straight. And the lack of care he has, when he does that last final slam into a tree... Just... I love him.
Posted by Hobo:
Idiot. Why dont you get Killswitch's new cd instead of buying that Mushroomhead crap.
Posted by Ace:
Hey my girlfriend's Belgian! yea sry just had2 say that. This soundtrack is the sh*t. The best tracks are "Sun Doesn't Rise" by Mushroomhead and "When Darkness Falls" by Killswitch Engage. I'm a huge shroom fan and their new cd, Xiii kicks ass. Find the disgraceful review of Xiii and diss hobo for me. thanx
Posted by 666thadevil666:
it rocks this is the best cd ever.makes you wanna beat tha crap out of some-one
greetings from belgium
Posted by ZER0G0D:
Awesome soundtrack! Makes you want to beat the crap out of someone or bash yer head into a mirror. I liek it. And Hobo, that is the best scene of Jason X. Nuthing beats a girl being beaten to death in her sleeping bag.
Posted by Hobo:
Rented, hired, meh, whatever. Point is; sleeping bag + chick. Focus on that.
Posted by VampireRyan:
Don't you mean you RENTED Jason X? Sorry. I'm a grammar nut. This is one of the better soundtracks I've bought in a while.
Posted by Hobo:
I still stand by In Flames after RTR, its not a MASSIVE diversion from their 'old sound.' Anyway I went and hired Jason X the other night - that has to be the funniest f*cking movie I've seen in a long time. It was great, the best scene had to be where he beat one girl inside a sleeping back to death with another girl in a sleeping bag. So damn damn good!
Posted by EycHaus:
I saw Chaimara twice: Once opening for Slayer and once for In Flames. Their older stuff is more Nu-Metallish, but the new album is really heavy from what I heard live. I was impressed more by the new. There are those who accuse In Flames of "selling out" because of the sound on "Reroute to Remain." Personally, I think it's good for them to do so, as they can possibly be a gateway to other heavy Swedish acts such as Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquility, Opeth, The Haunted, etc. I also saw In Flames twice: Once opening for Slayer and once by themselves. Slayer fans really took a liking to In Flames, which is rare, but then again, Atlanta is a metal town, and Swedish metal is well received there anyway.

this cd kicked ass the best soundtrack ever put out no better then an all metal soundtrack it was sweet
Posted by Giovanni:
the best of this album are sepultura and slipknot
Posted by ender2030:
the whole cd in general is sweet but the 2 songs i like are slipknot-snap, and pm5k's bombshell
Posted by Hobo:
Well isnt 'revolucion' just spanish for revolution? Thats why I called its revolution x2. The Devil Driver song is pretty damn sh!t.
Posted by allofnothing:
It's 'Revolution Revolucion',hobo.and what was the Devil Driver song like?
Posted by Hobo:
Quite strange. Its obvious on the CD where the real sh!ts at anyway, hopefully it'll spur some numetal fans into some goddamn real metal eh?
Posted by Viral Mind:
It's wierd seeing the nu metal acts blended with metal bands.It looked bizarre when I looked at the cd and saw in flames and lamb of god on the same list as seether and ill nino.
