DethKlok, the fictional band in Adult Swim's
Metalocalypse, have a song in the upcoming
Guitar Hero II. The song, "Thunderhorse," will be an unlockable track "along with some other secret music from other bands," according to the official DethKlok MySpace page. That's right, the heaviest band in the world, with the fastest and second fastest guitarists to ever live, have allowed their rock to bleed into gaming consoles.
What could the other hidden tracks be:
Minus the Bear? (Doubtful.)
Tenacious D? (If there's a Dio destined for Rock Heaven.) What do you want to see?
Guitar Hero II will rock your socks off starting November 7.
[Thanks, Brian]

What? Are you kidding me? I sent Joystiq a message about this exact same thing over 12 hours ago. Same link too. Joystiq's contact link is either broken, or really slow.
Mathew Smith @ Oct 24th 2006 8:47PM
Minus The Bear is amazingly amazing. That is all.
MosquitoControl @ Oct 24th 2006 8:50PM
Nuts to Minus the Bear. If you're going to pick a Dave Knudson band for guitar worship, you only have one choice - Botch.
C'mon Botch. The world needs more Botch.
antec @ Oct 24th 2006 8:49PM
i concur. minus the bear is tits up.
Banana Kid @ Oct 24th 2006 8:51PM
TROGDOR IS IN THE EFFING GAME.
I was already going to buy it, now I'm going to buy it TWICE. That's how PUMPED I AM.
LuigiHann @ Oct 24th 2006 8:52PM
First Spinal Tap, now DethKlok and Strong Bad? This is a great day to be a fictional guitarrist.
Mathew Smith @ Oct 24th 2006 8:55PM
@7, new Botch next year. Woo.

real metal. real solos.

You know your social network is huge when: People/Group pages on your network are linked to instead of their official sites
You know your social network sucks when: Everyone has a friend named Tom
Which makes me wonder, does he have a MySpace that he actually uses outside of pimping the site? Or would it even be possible, as someone would surely recognize him and his page would get gangraped by "friends" and haters.
Luis @ Oct 24th 2006 9:29PM
You know what I want? Dragonforce!
Carpal tunnel here I come!
Wedge @ Oct 24th 2006 9:35PM
Hopefully Made in Mexico, Anarchy Club, and Artillery don't still suck ass. Acrobrats, Freezepop, and Count Zero were awesome in the first game though.
Buckethead wtf?
Trogdor rawk.
Seems like a bunch of other cool new stuff too. Goddammit still two weeks away.
olanarchangel @ Oct 24th 2006 9:57PM
Dethklok just made this game ten times better.
Chad @ Oct 24th 2006 10:02PM
"Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse" would make my head explode if it shows up in GH3.
Got to love Minus the Bear.

Vlad @ Oct 24th 2006 10:18PM
honestly, I'm just as if not MORE excited for the full bonus song list than for the official song list. There were some really really great songs from the indie bands in GH1.
fuckin' Trogdor!? for real!? I'll believe it when I see it, but that'd be...hilarious.
Curt @ Oct 24th 2006 10:37PM
+1 for Minus the Bear reference.
random @ Oct 24th 2006 10:41PM
While highly unlikely, I would love to see Tiny Tim have a featured unlockable track. Oh what a plucking good time that would be.
Pal @ Oct 24th 2006 10:42PM
I agree with Luis; GH needs some Dragonforce!
Man, Dethklok. Holy crap. You're gonna get some...NOW!
cyberfelon @ Oct 24th 2006 11:13PM
I wouldn't mind seeing some My Morning Jacket in there

32_Footsteps @ Oct 24th 2006 11:35PM
Hmm... the GH2 forums are down, so I had to hunt down anyone that had even a partial list. Fortunately, I found one:
http://www.gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=7101
It's not a confirmed full list, so the absence of Trogdor is not a killer.
But dude... they put on Bang Camaro's "Lady Lightning"! I have officially been rocked off my ass. There was an infintesimal chance I wasn't going to get GH2. Now there's an infintesimal chance I'll wait beyond the first day to pick it up.
Scott Olstad @ Oct 25th 2006 12:30AM
I think a little bit of urine came out at the thought of Minus the Bear in Guitar Hero.
Kyou @ Oct 25th 2006 12:10AM
Noooes. Trogdor. I demmand Trogdor! If I don't see the Trogdor song in GH2 I'll be extremely disappointed.
EdFanMH @ Oct 25th 2006 2:19AM
I didn't expect Dethlok to be in the game. But at least they made it on there along with Trogdor. Plus I wanted DethFam as a song on there. That one was pretty metal.
DETHLOK RULES!
xGabrielx @ Oct 25th 2006 2:28AM
@11, Don't get your panties too wet. It's the live DVD that they've been working on for ages.
Kudos to Harmonix for All That Remains, Shadows Fall and Every Time I Die, though.
And if I had a penny for every time someone asked for Dragonforce... That's almost as tired as yelling "Freebird!" these days.
sambo @ Oct 25th 2006 7:04AM
SHADOWS FALL!!!!!
EVERYTIME I DIE!!!!!
DETHKLOK!!!!!!
i can't wait!
32_Footsteps @ Oct 25th 2006 9:47AM
Ah, now the GH2 forums are working again, and I have the list written down so that I won't forget it.
Also, just throwing this out here - for those who want a head start, here's a page where you can download "Push Push (Lady Lightning)", for those wondering why I rave about Bang Camaro so (And it's both free and legal, to boot):

The link is under the second pic.
Monthenor @ Oct 25th 2006 9:48AM
@7 Every time "Absinthe Party..." comes up on my playlist, I imagine how awesome it would be to play on Guitar Hero. Sequel hope++.
trent @ Oct 25th 2006 11:26AM
already preordered and paid for. my bro in law has a projector and a big sound system.
on tuesday, we will rock. and rock hard. expert only.
Mat @ Oct 25th 2006 6:35PM
I can't believe Minus the Bear got a mention.
And can I just say that I agree with Mosquito? If you guys love yourselves Knudson-eque guitar you really need to check out where it started: Botch.
Kwipper @ Oct 26th 2006 6:10AM
YES! HELL YES! GUITAR HERO 2 WILL BE... METAL!
