Album Description
Underworld is one of the most highly anticipated genre films in over a decade. Lakeshore Record's soundtrack, which features exclusive songs and mixes (both in and inspired by the film), is an unparalleled collection of the best music the contemporary rock world has to offer. The soundtrack album is produced by Danny Lohner of Nine Inch Nails whose unique relationships within the community of A-List talent brings such unprecedented highlights to this project as the first song ever penned by Maynard James Keenan (Tool / A Perfect Circle) for a motion picture and soundtrack album. Also appearing on the album is former Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland who along with Lohner and Filter's Richard Patrick have created the formidable super group The Damning Well who make their debut on this album with the song "Awakening." One look through the album's track listing and you'll find contributions from artists as diverse and respected as Trust Co., Finch, Skinny Puppy, Page Hamilton, and David Bowie to name a few. Every track on this album is either written exclusively for this project, or is an exclusive remix, or rare version only available on this release. Underworld, both as a film and an album is a truly unique marrige of artistic sound and vision.

 Larger than life soundtrack January 7, 2004

Chances are, if you were curious enough to surf over to this page to see about this soundtrack, you should buy it because you're bound to find something you like on here. Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle) spear-headed this project, using his connections to turn out the darkest and possibly most unique compilation of 2003. For fans of Tool/A Perfect Circle frontman Maynard James Keenan, you need this. The infamous frontman makes four scattered appearances here. There are two A Perfect Cirle remixes here for 'Judith' and 'Weak & Powerless.' The former is a slowed down, moodier peice of work than the original, which benefits from some interesting string arrangements, while the latter is an over-caffeinated reworking that beefs up the power of the original song. Keenan also collaborates with Lohner under the moniker Puscifier on the track 'REV 22:20.' This song is a bit different than Keenan's other work. It's very stripped down and quiet, yet extremely potent and bruising. And finally, Maynard joins forces with Red Hot Chili Peppers axe-man John Frusciante on a very odd remix of David Bowie's 'Bring Me The Disco King.' Limited-time-only supergroup The Damning Well give the album a nice kick start. Featuring Filter frontman Richard Patrick, Ex-Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland, Lohner & Josh Freese, (now honestly, who HASN'T he played with) 'Awakening' is a energetic, albeit bouncy cut (thanks in part to Borland's style) that turns out really well. It would be nice to hear more collaborations from these guys. Nu-metallers Trustcompany slow it down a bit for the Danny Lonher remix of 'Hover,' turning out their best track to date. Featuring violins played by Paz Lechantin (A Perfect Circle/Zwan) this track serves as a highlight of the album, and is the polar opposite of the band's original version. Finch, however, deliver one of their heaviest tunes with 'Worms of the Universe.' The song is quick, to the point and just plain rocks. The Icarus Line, a band who I had never heard until this album surprised me with their own brand of Black Sabbath-esque stoner-rock, and Lisa Germano and Milla bring it down a notch with their hushed, moody songs. Overall, it's a great soundtrack. It fits the movie very well in the same vein as the original "The Crow" soundtrack. If you like the way the track-listing looks, you really should pick this up.

For the new Skinny Puppy track alone this deal was sealed! But lo and behold I find some of the most talented men and women on this dingy planet performing in this amalgamate of genre styles. Richard Patrick (Filter, performing in The Damning Well), Danny Lohner (NIN), Maynard James Keenan (in several incarnations, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle, and backing for Bowie!), David Bowie, Johnette Napolitano (Concrete Blonde), Lisa Germano, Milla Jovovich!!!!, Sarah Bettons (K's Choice!). An excellent mix of the heavy, twisted, and melodic...without a lot of the EGO of many of these "genre film" soundtracks. Non-stop play for this disc...And, omfg, the new Puppy song is excellent! Just in case you didn't know by now, dammit. *****!!!

Nine Inch Nails without Reznor September 4, 2003

The Underworld soundtrack is dark and probably will go well with the movie. Much better than Queen of the Damned soundtrack. Milla Jovivich (Resident Evil) contributes on a few songs with a surprisingly beautiful singing voice. Maynard absolutely blows you away with his voice. Bring me the disco king will grow on you. The best song is Rev 22:20. This should hold over A perfect Circle fans until their next album.

This album is good company to the movie, or I believe it will be. The tracks by Maynard are very well done, and the amount of guest appearances and new and redone songs by well known artists (Bowie, Skinny Puppy), makes it well worth it. (Bowie and Maynard sharing the same song is enough for me) Also, the mix of male and female singers adds a good dynamic to the album.
