Few observers expected that Whitney Houston's first big-screen role in 1992's The Bodyguard would generate a phenomenon. Not that the film itself was a phenomenon – it was a healthy success, due not only to Houston, but to her co-star Kevin Costner's drawing power – but the soundtrack's success was astonishing. The Bodyguard followed Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" to the top of the charts, and once they got there, neither the single nor the album budged for weeks. "I Will Always Love You" spent a record-shattering 14 weeks in the top slot, while The Bodyguard spent 20 weeks at number one, eventually selling over 15 million copies and winning the Grammy award for Album of the Year.

A progressive metal band based out of Denmark, Royal Hunt employs a melody-rich blend of neoclassical power metal and progressive and traditional hard rock. The group found success in the mid-'90s via the albums Moving Target and Paradox, with the latter LP delivering the instrumental "Martial Arts," which became synonymous with professional Japanese wrestler Masahiro Chono when he chose it for his entrance music…
