It released on February 19, 2002 via Warner Music Group and was produced by Richard Gibbs and Jonathan Davis of American nu metal band Korn.

Originally, he was supposed to perform vocals on the soundtrack, but due to limitations in his record label contract with Sony, prohibiting his voice to appear on disc, he could not.

Instead, five of Jon's friends from other bands were chosen, including Wayne Static of Static-X, David Draiman of Disturbed, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Marilyn Manson, and Jay Gordon of Orgy.

[7] Head and Munky from Korn, Sam Rivers of Limp Bizkit, L. Shankar, Vinnie Colaiuta and Terry Bozzio rounded out the studio musicians.

Five additional songs, all written and performed by Jonathan Davis, were recorded (as shown in the credits of the movie Queen of the Damned) but did not make it on the official soundtrack.
