Queen of the Damned: Music from the Motion Picture is the original motion picture soundtrack to the 2002 vampire horror film Queen of the Damned, which was released on March 1, 2002 through Warner Music Group. The soundtrack was produced by Richard Gibbs and Jonathan Davis of American nu metal band Korn.

History

The original motion picture soundtrack to the film is Jonathan Davis's first musical output outside of Korn. Originally he was to perform vocals on the soundtrack, but due to contract limitations with Sony, he could not. So, he hired five singers from other bands, each that are good friends of his, to do the vocal work for his songs.[2] Those five singers include Wayne Static of Static-X, David Draiman of Disturbed, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Marilyn Manson, and Jay Gordon of Orgy. Drums on tracks 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 are performed by Vinnie Colaiuta, and Colaiuta and Terry Bozzio on track 8. Aaliyah, the late singer/actress who played the titular role, did not record any songs for Queen of the Damned like she did for her previous film Romeo Must Die. The alternative metal-styled song "What If", a track off her third and final album which was mostly recorded just off the film set, was influenced though not written specifically for the movie and did not make the cut.

In the film, the five songs are played by Lestat's heavy metal band, The Vampire Lestat, including "System", "Forsaken", " Not Meant For Me", "Redeemer", and "Slept So Long". In addition to Jonathan Davis's songs, the soundtrack has many songs by other popular bands, such as Static-X, Disturbed and Deftones.
