| Freddie Vs Jason (Roadrunner) |
| By Ben Saunders | |
Monday, 11 August 2003 Horror movies, like wrestling, aren’t really my thing but rock music seems to be the soundtrack for both so, hot on the heels of Ginger Snaps and Resident Evil here comes the latest soundtrack from Roadrunner Records (along with accompanying film spin-off should you be that way inclined.)The twenty tracks on offer are largely a who’s who of the new breed of American metal. Spineshank’s ‘Beginning Of The End’ (from their recent Self-Destructive Pattern album) is certainly one of the highlights, and there’s plenty more with Ill Nino, Chimaira and Devildriver (featuring Coal Chamber’s Dez Farfara) amongst those featured. Mushroomhead show that they’re more than just Slipknot mark-II and Powerman 5000 throw off the ‘Rob Zombie’s little brother’ tag with the bruising (albeit still Zombie-esque) ‘Bombshell’. Even Sevendust show some signs of finding their feet again after a somewhat lacklustre third album, and will hopefully be back to their best soon. Not everything’s a success. Type O Negative, for example, offer a worthwhile cut in its own right, but their goth-metal doesn’t fit in too well with what else is on offer. Sepultura’s collaboration with Mike Patton came in their post-Max Against bad spell, and isn’t a patch on the previous ‘Lookaway’. Heavier bands like Hatebreed and In Flames also seem odd company for those drawn to the commercial nu-metal dominating most of the album. (3½/5) Release Date: 11 August 2003
