Judgment Night: Music from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack to the 1993 film of the same name, originally released on October 12 of that year through Immortal/Epic Soundtrax. The album stood out for having each track written and performed by a pairing of a rock or metal act with a hip-hop act. Helmet teamed up with House of Pain, Slayer with Ice-T, Sonic Youth with Cypress Hill, and Living Colour with Run-D.M.C. Faith No More and Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., Mudhoney and Sir Mix-A-Lot, and Pearl Jam and Cypress Hill also contributed joint tracks. With this concept, the soundtrack stood as an early example of the crossover between rock and hip-hop that was later developed further in the rap-rock and nu-metal genres.
