Album information
The Mortal Kombat theme was composed by Praga Khan and Oliver Adams; best known for their work with the legendary Techno/Industrial band Lords of Acid.
Three songs by Stabbing Westward, Lies, Lost and Can't Happen Here, from the Ungod album, were also featured in the movie. However, because the band did not think the movie would do well in theaters, they opted not to allow the songs on the official soundtrack.
Metal vocalist Burton C. Bell is the only artist on the album to appear twice; once with his primary band Fear Factory, and again fronting the side-project GZR.
