Daredevil: The Album is the soundtrack album for the film Daredevil (2003), starring Ben Affleck. It was released on February 4, 2003 by Wind-up Records.[1] Many of the songs on the album appeared in the film.
Two songs made specifically for the album were released as singles: Fuel's "Won't Back Down" and the Calling's "For You". Revis' "Caught in the Rain" and Evanescence's songs "Bring Me to Life" and "My Immortal", each also included on Daredevil: The Album, were included on the groups' own efforts and subsequently released as singles. "Bring Me to Life" won Best Hard Rock Performance at the 46th Grammy Awards,[2] and Soundtrack Single of the Year at the Billboard Music Awards.[3]
Three songs were omitted from release on the album: N.E.R.D.'s "Lapdance", Dara Shindler's "Faraway", and House of Pain's "Top o' the Morning to Ya". The album was one of the first collaborations between Marvel Comics and Wind-up Records, which would continue with the releases of The Punisher, Fantastic Four and the Daredevil sequel/spin-off Elektra.
