Ex-Faith No More frontman Mike Patton may be reuniting with his old bandmates, but that doesn't mean he's not still on the cusp of all that's weird, noisy and wonderful with his label Ipecac. And occasionally, he'll even write something that borders on the mainstream.

On April 7, 32 new Patton compositions appeared on the soundtrack for the film "Crank 2: High Voltage," which hits theaters April 17. The movie again features Jason Statham as Chev Chelios, an unfortunate British thug suffering from heart problems. In this case, his character wakes to find his heart has been removed and replaced with the equivalent of an analog alarm clock, which requires regular jolts of electricity and high-energy excitement to keep from shutting down.

The action that follows as Chelios searches for the Chinese mobsters who stole his real heart, is fast-paced and unrelenting. Playing cameos in the film are Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan, Nine Inch Nails guitarist Danny Lohner, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington and country musician Dwight Yoakam. click "more" to see an exclusive snippet from the movie.
