"I Stand Alone" hit radio in early 2002 as the lead single from The Scorpion King soundtrack, then resurfaced a year later on Godsmack's third album, Faceless. Sully Erna wrote it by himself, fittingly enough, and it's a clenched fist of a song: Tony Rombola's riff grinds like heavy machinery, Robbie Merrill's bass rumbles down low, and Erna barks the title like a dare over a pounding, tribal beat.
Metal Edge readers voted it their top movie-soundtrack song of 2002, the single went gold, and its success helped drive Faceless past 1.5 million copies and carry the band to fans around the world.
