Now that is a soundtrack... I can't help but notice a complete lack of Iron Maiden though.

Also an absence of Pantera and Helloween. The best bet is that there are too many bands to keep it from going over 100 songs and licensing issues.

I still don't understand why Eddie isn't even in the game...

Meh. I've heard so much Iron Maiden over the course of my life that it is hard for me to care about them anymore. I'm not saying that they're not a great band (because they totally are), it's just that they're one of those bands that become overplayed after a while, especially taking into account the fact that their sound has changed very little over the past 34 years.

@Jrinswand

And understandable sentiment, but Eddie Riggs is named after the band!
Eddie after Eddie the Head, and Riggs is the last name of the guy that created him...leaving Iron Maiden out of the soundtrack seems unusual to say the least.

Could have had some Metallica, Trivium, Norther, Soilwork... There is just too many bands, and licensing can be a pain in the a**. Despite that its still a pretty good list that touches every type out there.

Trivium?! Really, they opened up for Iced Earth and the band was so bad the audience turned and sat down. They left the stage and everyone was applauding I'm happy that, that crap isn't included in the soundtrack.

I had the exact same thought. I am sure they could have fit some 'Fear of the Dark' in at an appropriate time. : )

Only fitting that The Metal gets in the game, after Activision tried to kill it and failed.

That should be a bannable comment. You're saying the kings of metal sucks, but they're the kings so they cannot suck. Some paradox you got going there.

It wouldn't surprise me if they had some exclusivity thing going with Activition. Remember that their songs were some of the only ones that couldn't be activated on Rock Band 2.

Metallica are the kings of a lazy over the edge talentless group who doesn't write their music anymore. King of metal? Give me a break.

"Megadeath"...

Please fix that.


Also, I wish the soundtrack for Guitar Hero or Rock Band were this damn awesome. I may have to end up getting this game just to support this kind of stuff in the future...

Candlemass - Witches
Carcass - No Love Lost
Emperor - Thus Spake The Nightspirit
Enslaved - Frost
Enslaved - Loke
King Diamond - Cremation
King Diamond - Welcome Home
Skeletonwitch - Soul Thrashing Black Sorcery

Fucking awesome. Surprisingly, those are some really good choices. The rest... well, they get points for trying.

I've gotta say, it is nice to see some of the less popular genres of metal represented. The game could benefit from more black, doom and death metal though.

they get "points" for trying? get off your high horse numbnuts... one thing i despise in all metal fans is that they think that their metal bands are better then everyone else's metal bands. The list is nothing less then awesome for every metal fan no matter what bands you give "points" for trying

No. 'Fraid not. I'm pretty sure that I'm allowed to have an opinion. For example: In my opinion, you are a stupid motherfucker. See how that works?

Yeah, because I want to listen to a doom or drone song while running around chopping heads off, damn. Funny thing is the bands you listed are pretty shitty BM/Doom, you need to listen to better music if you want to be elitist.
(Try some Sigh, Sleep, YOB, Boris for starters).


On the topic of this list, fucking awesome. Had a smile on my face that a Dethklok song got put in there, hehe.

@Nadril - A lot of doom can be really badass. For instance, older Candlemass and Reverend Bizarre are some of the best metal out there. And I never said that drone would be a good idea. That would be a terrible idea.

Also, I wasn't being elitist. I was just listing the bands from the tracklist that I like. It is pretty hard not to like Enslaved or King Diamond. And for your information, I love Sigh, Sleep and Boris (especially Boris).

Cool soundtrack. Finally, Megadeth's Tornado of Souls is getting the play it deserves. They NEED that on GH/RB for the solo.

Can't argue with Ozzy, Sabbath, Judas Priest, Racer X, Scorpions or Testament either.
And I happened to be listening to Diamond Head - Am I Evil as I read the list.. class song.
