As is the case with all ancient evils, 80's rock music was never sealed away in a very permanent fashion. The horrors of big hair and even bigger shoulder pads may have been dulled by the passage of time, but the cheesy tunes that went with them are creeping back to life in the form of optical discs, half-forgotten memories and rhythmically rocking video games. Activision has announced that Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s has gone gold and will unleash its insidious compositions via your PlayStation 2 on July 24th.
