The album was produced by the Dust Brothers' John King, and includes appearances by Meat Loaf, Ronnie James Dio, and Dave Grohl.

Another album, More Rocktastic Music from the Film, contains some small excerpts of the official score that the soundtrack excludes.

In the absence of original comedy skits, there are excerpts of dialogue from the soundtrack's accompanying film between numerous songs.

The film starred Michael Keaton[15] and longtime collaborators JR Reed and Paul F. Tompkins.

More Rocktastic Music from the Film is a score album by Andrew Gross and John King for the movie Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny.
