For bands placement in a “Twilight” film means huge potential sales and wide exposure.

The first soundtrack had a loud, full-throttle sound in artists like Paramore and Linkin Park, but the songs on “New Moon” have a soft, melancholy touch.

“This is a much more somber movie than ‘Twilight,’ ” Ms. Patsavas said. “There is a lot of love lost, so the artists that are going to make up the soundtrack reflect that longing — a lot of acoustic instruments, a lot of a cappella singing. This soundtrack definitely feels a bit more indie than the last one.”

Comment by Vada on September 16, 2009 at 5:53pm: Im tired of them picking the music just because stephenie meyer likes the artists. they should have other artists besides heavy metal (lol)/emo music

Comment by ♥Little Blonde Vampire♥ on September 16, 2009 at 5:56pm: Softer music would be amazing. For Twilight, heavy metal worked, because it was heavy and pounding, you know? But for New Moon, it's dark and crushing. So softer and darker music would work perfectly.

Comment by Team Robsten on September 16, 2009 at 6:07pm: I love the Twilight Soundtrack and will welcome the New Moon Soundtrack with open arms!

Comment by Isabella Vasquez on September 16, 2009 at 6:30pm: I loved the twilight soundtrack and i hope the new moon soundtrack will be just as goood!!!

Comment by I.Luv.Eduardo aka Edward on September 16, 2009 at 6:43pm: The music wasn't emo to whoever said that. The music for Twilight was awsome, it sold over 2 million copies. Name another soundtrack that has done that? It was amazing, the music was different and it fit the movie. Hopefully New Moon's music will do the same, (Meet me in equinox already sounds GREAT!)

Comment by Marianne on September 16, 2009 at 7:11pm: I LOVED the Twilight soundtrack! It was a great combination of sounds - from soft rock to hard rock to instrumental! Love it, love it, love it!

Comment by Ashleigh - Plastic Tramp on September 16, 2009 at 11:50pm: hahaha heavy metal?! OMG xD thats what you call heavy metal? haha the loudest band was linkin park and theyre hardly loud. I never knew bands like SLIPKNOT had gotten on the soundtrack. that's what qualifies as heavy metal!

And what would prefer? Bella grinding to some dance song? *shudders* =S
