Since ex-
Twisted Sister frontman
Dee Snider wrote and starred in the 1998 horror movie
Strangeland, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the soundtrack is comprised of 100% heavy metal. By combining already established bands with new groups and mixing unreleased tracks with overlooked album cuts, the soundtrack for
Strangeland is easily one of the best heavy metal soundtracks ever released. The majority of Pantera and
Marilyn Manson fans will already be familiar with their tracks, "Where You Come From" and "Sweet Tooth," respectively, but there's plenty of rarities you won't find anywhere else. New tracks by
Coal Chamber ("Not Living"), Megadeth ("A Secret Place"), Sevendust ("Breathe"), and
dayinthelife (a cover of Twisted Sister's "Street Justice") are definite highlights, as is a new track by a re-formed
Twisted Sister ("Heroes Are Hard to Find"). The
Strangeland soundtrack gives yet another reason to believe that heavy metal is far from becoming extinct any time soon. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
