     "Evil Has Two Names - But Only One Sound" is the 
catch-phrase you will find on the cover of this brand-new 
heavy-metal compilation, which comes in three different
 flavors:  Regular, Freddy, and Jason!  
     Makes you wonder how well the record companies made
out after the fans recieved Ronny Yu's 'Freddy Vs. Jason' this
past Summer.
In my opinion, 'Freddy Vs. Jason' is one of the biggest disappointments in horror film history. For those of you who've watched both franchises grow, you will agree that even the worst sequel in either franchise was better than Ronny Yu's wannabe grudge match! O.K. I'll admit it. The film has its ups and downs. Robert Englund's performance is kick ass! Freddy's back and mad as Hell. But Ken Kirzinger's interpretation of "Jason" leaves a lot to be desired. I don't remember Jason ever being a seven-foot giant.
The hype surrounding the film was unbelievable. I have never seen this much attention concerning either franchise. And Roadrunner Records has compiled a soundtrack which features 20 previously unavailable tracks from bands like Slipknot, Sepultura, and Type O Negative. The brand new single from Ill Nino, "How Can I Live," is the reason why you will spend your hard-earned cash on this soundtrack. This is my favorite track on the CD. Killswitch Engage's "When Darkness Falls" and Spineshank's "Beginning of the End" are reminiscent from the film, although the remaining tracks are questionable. It sort of reminds me of the "Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III" soundtrack. There are three different covers for the soundtrack: you can buy the Freddy version, you can buy the Jason version, or you can buy the standard version, which features the poster artwork on the cover. Who will you buy? Freddy? Jason? I recommend buying both versions since they're limited editions, and the fan boys will be tripling the price on eBay in the future!
