MARILYN MANSON, MUDVAYNE and BLOODSIMPLE are among the artists contributing to the upcoming “Saw II” soundtrack, due on October 25 via Treadstone Records.

Commented Treadstone Records president Jonathan Platt: “We were looking for tracks with an edge-of-your-seat intensity to reflect the mood of Saw II. But we didnt want to rely on aggressive vocals and volume. We didnt want to make a heavy metal record, which would have been the obvious choice.”

Treadstone principal Jonathan Scott Miller elaborated: “We wanted the Saw II soundtrack to blend seamlessly with Charlie Clousers score. So we chose music with elements of both organic hard rock and electronic industrial, which creates an atmosphere you can really feel. These songs get under your skin.”

MUDVAYNEs epic “Forget to Remember” was one of the first songs earmarked for the soundtrack. It can also be heard during the initial end titles of “Saw II”. “Forget to Remember” is the second single off MUDVAYNEs current gold-certified album “Lost and Found”. The video for the song was shot in early September by “Saw II” director Darren Lynn Bousman. Said Platt: “We worked closely with the films producers on putting the soundtrack together, and then we collaborated with them on the video, right down to recreating pivotal sets from the movie. The guys in MUDVAYNE are fans of the first Saw, and they were very enthusiastic about tying Forget to Remember in with Saw II.”
