History

The original motion picture soundtrack for the film was Jonathan Davis' first musical project outside of his band, Korn. Originally, he was supposed to perform vocals on the soundtrack, but due to limitations in his record label contract with Sony, prohibiting his voice to appear on disc, he could not.[4][5] Jeff Scott Soto was subsequently hired to do the vocal work, but didn't make the final cut either. Instead, five of Jon's friends from other bands were chosen, including Wayne Static of Static-X, David Draiman of Disturbed, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Marilyn Manson, and Jay Gordon of Orgy.[6] Head and Munky from Korn, Sam Rivers of Limp Bizkit, L. Shankar, Vinnie Colaiuta and Terry Bozzio rounded out the studio musicians.
