"According to "Rolling Stone", "it is largely due to the initiative of [soundtrack producer] Happy Walters... that so many leading hip-hop and alternative rock artists were assembled for the soundtrack," with Walters bringing in groups such as Pearl Jam, Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., Sonic Youth, Cypress Hill, and Faith No More as collaborators on new material.The "Judgement Night" soundtrack album was released by Immortal Records with distribution by Epic Records.
