Stone Cold Metal is a rock compilation album that was released on September 9, 1998 by Mars Entertainment (known today as Spy Records). Produced by Paul Tarnopol with the help of “Stone Cold Steve Austin” of World Wrestling Entertainment, “Stone Cold Metal” was the first wrestling CD to ever chart on the “Billboard 200” and according to Nielson Soundscan has sold more than a quarter of a million copies in the United States. Up to that time, “Stone Cold Metal” had outsold all other wrestling CDs, including RCA’s “WRESTLE MANIA” album, which was produced by American Idol’s Simon Cowell.
“Stone Cold Metal” was the first CD to utilize a lenticular CD case, which created a morphing effect between Steve Autin’s face and his trademark human skull. The album consisted of original hit recordings by Scorpions, Deep Purple, Accept, Dokken, Molly Hatchet, Ted Nugent, Dio, Rainbow, The Cult, Foghat, Def Leppard and Kisss. “Stone Cold Metal” was also the first compilation of any kind to include recordings by Kiss and Def Leppard.
