Although director Stephen Hopkins would like to take credit for this initiative, it was actually the idea of the film's music director Happy Walters. There's even material from The Exploited from their Troops of Tomorrow album (you're never too far from Gary McCormack). ![]() The soundtrack features a dynamic hybrid of hip-hop and rock artists performing together such as Sonic Youth and Pearl Jam with Cypress Hill, Slayer with Ice-T himself, and Mudhoney with Sir Mix-A-Lot. Meanwhile, the public went nuts over the soundtrack and it became a big hit, despite most fans being unfamiliar with the movie. It was pulled from distribution and later, slowly, found a life on home video. Released in the autumn of 1993 it quickly died a death in theatres after a shooting during a screening in Boston that the alarmist press decided to blame on the movie itself (and here we are all these years later still mired in this nonsense). Judgment Night is one of those movies where the soundtrack managed to eclipse the actual film that inspired it. ![]() "Parental Advisory" symbol appears only on North American releases of this album.Īn additional song called "(You Can't Kill The) Revolution" was recorded by Rage Against The Machine and TooL, but neither band was happy with the results and was ultimately abandoned. All of them were originally performed by The Exploited, and were included on Troops Of Tomorrow. Track 5 is medley cover of "War", "UK '82", and "Disorder". This means that only 4 tracks ("Disorder", "Freak Momma", "Come And Die", and "Real Thing") remained in place on all four major physical formats (LP, Cass, CD, MD). Vinyl LP and cassette releases have different track order: 7→4→1→3→5→9→2→8→6→10→11. Another Body Murdered by Faith no More & Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. Fallin' by TeenAge FanClub & De La Soul Just Another Victim by Helmet & House of Pain Judgment Night by BioHazard & ONYX (Promo-Only) ![]() Rock/Metal & Grunge and Gangsta Rap & Hip-Hop This and the latter two: Spawn (The Album) / Blade II The Soundtrack (also from Immortal) had all songs designed to be collaborations. This was the first soundtrack album created by Immortal Records. ![]() In '93 I think Rage Against the Machine were just starting out, Body Count was just starting out.this was the early days, the glory days of rap rock, rap metal, whatever you wanna call it, this is essential for the completist of the genre in my book anyway.Official soundtrack of the film " Judgment Night" Pick this one up for the glory days of it all, at first glance this looks like some rather silly over-saturate the market collaborations perhaps, like a bunch of strange bands jumping on the rap rock bandwagon, but this was 1993 and it was nowhere near as loaded with lackluster rap rocks bands as there would be in the late 90's and into 2000. I agree with many that these were the great days to rap rock/metal, it had gotten beyond the "rap and metal can never mix" of the late 80's and started to hit it's stride. It's like the missing piece of the puzzle of those early years of the genre, perfect last piece I guess.perhaps there are more out there to find? Being a huge old school rap/rock fan, I stumbled across this one just this year, not even being aware it was even around.
