Heavy Metal is a 1981 Canadian adult animated sci-fi-fantasy film directed by Gerald Potterton, produced by Ivan Reitman and Leonard Mogel, who also was the publisher of Heavy Metal magazine, which was the basis for the film. The soundtrack was released on LP in 1981, but for legal reasons, was not released on CD until 1995.
Blue Öyster Cult wrote and recorded a song called "Vengeance (The Pact)" for the film, but the producers declined to use the song because the lyrics provided a capsulized summary of the "Taarna" vignette.
The 1995 releases are the only releases on CD. In 2017 the album was reissued on LP by Rhino and only in the US and Canada.
