Judgment Night (soundtrack)

Judgment Night is the soundtrack to the 1993 film of the same name. It was released on September 14, 1993, through Immortal Records and Epic Soundtrax and was produced by many of the album's performers. Every song on the soundtrack was a collaboration between hip-hop artists and rock/metal artists. The album peaked at #17 on the Billboard 200 and spawned four singles, "Fallin'" by Teenage Fanclub and De La Soul, "Another Body Murdered" by Faith No More and Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., "Just Another Victim" by Helmet and House of Pain, and "Judgment Night" by Biohazard and Onyx.

Production and release

Billboard explains that the soundtrack album "paired hip-hop artists with modern rock acts," A collaboration between Tool and Rage Against the Machine was attempted for the album, but neither band was happy with the results. The untitled song, commonly referred to as "Can't Kill the Revolution", has never been officially released, but a demo version has spread through fan bootleg networks such as Napster. ==Reception==

Reception

Rolling Stone said of the soundtrack, "Judgment Night's bracing rap rock is like the wedding of hillbilly and 'race' music that started the whole thing in the first place....It's an aspiring re-birth". Entertainment Weekly said they "can't vouch for the film, but the album is a MUST". Q Magazine said the soundtrack "suggests that the future for both metal and rap as a kind of agit prop soapbox style is secure". Due to the success of the Judgment Night soundtrack, Walters took a similar approach to the soundtrack of the 1997 film Spawn (mixing rock/electronic) and the soundtrack of the 2002 film Blade II (mixing electronic/hip-hop). ==Score album==
