The soundtracks for the first two films included an eclectic mix of big name rock bands and virtually unknowns, some of who rose to stardom, becoming household names after the release of ‘Twilight’ and ‘New Moon.’ ‘Twilight Saga’ soundtrack alumni include Muse, Linkin Park, and Paramore, as well as Bon Iver, Lykke Li, Rob Pattinson, The Black Ghosts, and Band of Skulls.

Rob Pattinson, who performed the song “Let Me Sign” for the first film in the series, is absent from the ‘Breaking Dawn’ soundtrack, a sure one way track to disappointment for Twi-hards. The first single to debut from the album is Bruno Mars’ “It Will Rain.” Other songs and act featured on the soundtrack:

“Love Death Rebirt” by Carter Burwell
“Endtapes” by The Joy Formidable
