It's got soldiers and sorcerers. Horses charging across the desert sand. Violent, limb-shredding swordplay. Pyrotechnics galore. The star's name is even The Rock. So what kind of music do you put in "The Scorpion King?" Rock, of course -- and make it hard, thank you very much.

'It's an action-packed film, and I think rock music fits something exciting like that,'' says Sully Erna of the Grammy-nominated Boston band Godsmack, whose 'I Stand Alone'' is the lead track and first single from 'Music
From and Inspired by 'The Scorpion King,' '' a blistering set that includes rare and previously unreleased treasures from rock giants such as Creed, System of a Down, Nickelback, Sevendust, Hoobastank and others. The 16-song album also includes contributions from P.O.D. and the ghoulish pairing of Ozzy Osbourne and Rob Zombie.
'This is the only kind of music you can have in a film like this,'' Erna continues. 'When the energy kicks up, I think you should have powerful music. You can't have orchestras and violins when people are banging swords, y'know?''
'The Scorpion King,'' opens in theatres nationwide on April 19, stars World Wrestling Federation superstar 'The Rock'' reprising the role he created in the 2001 blockbuster film 'The Mummy Returns.'' From the filmmakers that brought us "The Mummy," this film is a pre-quel to The Mummy Returns in 3000 B.C., it traces the evolution of The Scorpion King from a hired assassin tracking an evil sorcerer to the leader of his society.
Republic Records President Avery Lipman says, 'I remember when I met The Rock for the first time and was telling him we've got this great rock album, it all fell into place. He digs the Godsmack track.''
In fact, The Rock and Erna struck up a friendship while filming the video for 'I Stand Alone,'' in which Erna gets to morph into the Scorpion King and even perform his trademark sword move.'I got to spin it,'' Erna says. 'His thing is, before he goes into battle, he gives his sword a spin and is ready to fight. So I got to do that, which was really fun since I happen to collect swords and really like them.''
