(10/22/03, 12 p.m. ET) -- Foo Fighters, the Dave Matthews Band, Queens Of The Stone Age singer Mark Lanegan, and others all appear on the soundtrack of a new film called Our Burden Is Light. The film also features a score by Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel, who stars in the film along with his girlfriend, Jessica Ballard. The film will be released on DVD on January 13, the same day that the soundtrack arrives in stores.

The film stars Ballard as the lead singer of a fictional rock band called Bleeder. The DVD will include a commentary track, deleted scenes, footage of the cast rehearsing, and a blooper reel. No theatrical release is planned for the film.

Mendel is currently touring with his second band, the Fire Theft, while Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl is preparing for the release of his all-star metal project, Probot, in February. The album features Grohl, ex-Zwan guitarist Matt Sweeney, and Foo Fighters producer Adam Kasper accompanying some of underground metal's most celebrated and respected frontmen, including Motorhead's Lemmy, Max Cavalera of Soulfly, and Voivod singer Snake.
