12 Stones is the eponymous debut album from the American rock band 12 Stones. It was released on April 23, 2002 by Wind-up Records. The album debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 147.

Promotion

World Wrestling Entertainment/Federation used several of the songs for promotional purposes. "Home" was featured in the WWE Desire video for Kurt Angle. "Broken" was the theme song for the Judgement Day 2002 pay-per-view. Songs "Running Out of Pain" and "Back Up" were used on Cheating Death, Stealing Life - The Eddie Guerrero Story. The latter was also used in a promo for Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H in Hell in a Cell at Bad Blood 2004. "Back Up" was originally written to be the new entrance song for The Rock but was not because it was too different from what he had been using.

"Broken" is featured on the Digital Praise PC game Guitar Praise.

In Addition the track, "Soulfire" was used in the Mania of Wrestlemania DVD, the first sole production by WWE Studios.
