Advantages: Fantastic tracks... need I say more?!

Disadvantages: None

The film Queen Of The Damned is based on two books from The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice (The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned). The film is somewhat (very!!) different to the books, but i will review the film another time!

When I first heard the soundtrack on the film it was only a couple of weeks ago, and I must say it was very fitting and actually stayed with me for a while afterwards. I then decided that I would take the plunge and purchase the CD. I was dissapointed!

The songs that Lestat (the main Vampire who is a rock star in this film!) sings are fantastic, even the lyrics are fitting to the life of a vampire:

"You see I cannot be forsaken
Because I'm not the only one
We walk amongst you
Feeding, raping
Must we hide from everyone"

In the film Stuart Townsend mimes the songs, but the vocals on the soundtrack are done by various metal stars, but each one sounding eerily like each other (I wonder if this was done on purpose?)

This soundtrack is what you might expect, quite dark and rocky (nu-metal heads you can also enjoy this!).

Summary: A CD in my top 100 of must buys.
