Few motion pictures succeed at intermingling science fiction with sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll better than the original Heavy Metal. Yet, while that film's blend of audio and animation is legendary, its anthology format required a diverse mixture of musical styles.

The angry attitude of this composition, which accompanies the movie's visit to the Neo-Calcutta space station, conveys the violent aspects of the adventure. In short, the Heavy Metal 2000 soundtrack is an unrelenting, unforgiving aural assault.
