Rock Band: Metal Track Pack coming Rocktober 13

by Andrew Yoon on Aug 13th 2009 12:00PM

It hasn't been long since the last Rock Band Track Pack hit. If you're done singing classics like "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" from the Country Track Pack, you'll be glad to know that the next disc-based expansion is coming on October 13th for every console equipped with plastic instruments. The release also happens to coincide with Brütal Legend, much to the joy of metalheads everywhere.

Following the footsteps of the Country Track Pack, the upcoming Metal Pack will include a number of songs that aren't available as DLC yet. Six brand new songs will debut through the disc from Blue Oyster Cult, Hawkwind, I Mother Earth, Motorhead, Nazareth and Rage Against the Machine. As with previous Track Packs, this one will be retailing for $29.99 on all platforms.

Check out the entire track listing after the break.

Too.. much.. metal.. win..

*head splodes*

3's & 7's is metal? I mean, there's some good guitar in there, but I wouldn't call it metal.

But yeah, the rest of it looks like it could melt some faces.

thats what i thought too lol... good song though.

Now i don't listen to alot of metal anymore but what i think we need is Colors album by Between The Buried and Me, Hot Damn by Everytime I Die and Frail Words Collapse by As I Lay Dying.

Bulls on Parade and Hair of the Dog = Winnimus Maximus

Yeah, pretty much. Helps me that I've only picked up 3's and 7's already, so this may be the first Track Pack I buy.

So naturally I have some questions: Are these importable onto a hard drive like RB1's songs were? If so, is it a one-time code, or can I let a friend borrow the disc afterwards to do the same?

I fail at life. I found the answers: yes, exporting is OK, and yes, it's a one-time only thing.

I wouldn't say you fail at life. Hell, you came back and gave the right answers. Good job!

I think that it is a one time deal of you getting the code, but then you download the songs like DLC in to Rock Band 2, so that a person with multiple PS3's can still put it on up to 5 PS3's. Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

are these new songs ever coming as DLC or do you have to buy this to get them?

For all of those wanting the EXCLUSIVE songs:

"Six of the on disc tracks are brand new to the Rock Band platform and will be exclusive to the Rock Band Metal Track Pack disc for a limited time before joining the Rock Band® Music Store as downloadable content. "

From the Rock Band forum announcement: http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157383

Now you're messing with a son of a bitch. I don't need this pack anymore.

At the Gates AND The Haunted? Nothig like a healthy dose of the Björler brothers. Also, ING-VEY Malmsteen! Should be loads of fun.
Fairly indifferent about the rest.

Out of all those songs, the only one I've ever heard was Bulls On Parade.

And that's only cause of Guitar Hero 3.

Could the names of the songs get any more generic? inb4metalheaddownvotes

You only heard "Bulls on Parade" through GH3?

Absolute FAIL.

I'm not a "metalhead", and I still think you fail at recognizing music

Bulls on Parade is a good Rage song and I'm glad we're seeing new DLC from them but why couldn't they have picked something like Know Your Enemy, more suited for the instruments of RB?

"why couldn't they have picked something like Know Your Enemy, more suited for the instruments of RB?"

They are a great fit for RB with almost any song. Four member band; crazy, unique solos; balanced highlighting for Guitar/Bass/Drums/Mic; etc. While I would love to see Know Your Enemy eventually included, I would rather have some stuff that wasn't used in these games before. That's not to say I won't download Bulls on Parade as soon as it is released onto the DLC store, I just want more than their two most commercialized songs... (I'd really like the full albums of RATM, Evil Empire, and Battle of Los Angeles, please.)

Any Rage is good Rage. Well, maybe with the exception of perhaps "Beautiful World" from Renegades...

sleep now in the fire would be especially fun.

What happened to full albums in the Rock Band music store? They haven't had anything in a long time.

They released Spinal Tap's full album two weeks ago.

Indeed they did, I missed that for some reason.

I was just thinking it would be awesome and really piss off Activision if Double Fine and Harmonix could do some sort of "Brutal Legend" pack for Rock Band featuring the entire Brutal Legend soundtrack. After all, EA is responsible for both.

FUCK YEAH RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE.

About damn time we saw more Rage.

I've got half of these songs, so I'll wait for the exclusives to hit DLC (if they do, otherwise I'll gladly put down the $30 for it)

Hey look at that...there's a way to export songs without charging people extra for it?

Somebody should notify Activision.

Except they still don't let you do it on Wii, unless this one will be different from all the other track packs. Activision wins for that, although they lose for almost everything else.

They charged to import Rock Band 1 songs into Rock Band 2.

they wont let you do it on the Wii because thats how Nintendo designed their online DLC structure... one file at a time.

Its why you never get to buy an album bundle for discount prices. So don't blame Harmonix, blame Nintendo in that department

Just because Nintendo makes it difficult doesn't make it impossible. Activision is allowing importing for GH5 on Wii. It's slower and a little more screwy, downloading them one at a time instead of in a bundle, but it works.

It's really Vicarious Visions that should be commended for their work on the platform; I don't think Harmonix would have brought DLC to Wii if VV hadn't already done it in GHWT. Another lazy PS2 port would have been more likely.

btw Harmonix could very easily fix the DLC bundling issue on Wii. Say the song pack is 6 songs, which normally costs $9.99 when bundled. That's the normal cost of 5 songs on Wii, 1000 points. So if you purchase 5 songs out of the song pack, then the 6th could be offered for 0 points. You'd end up paying the same price as if you bought them all in a bundle.

Don't blame it all on Nintendo, obviously they could make it easier, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out a workaround.

@ Luke: It doesn't take a genius to come up with ideas...but it does take a genius to actually implement them. And I'm guessing your idea doesn't exact lend itself to easy implementation. As I don't even think it's something that the XBL or PSN current supports.

Blue Oyster Cult? You can't headbang to cowbell.

So here's the math that needed to be done. I literally have every other song already that isn't exclusive to the track pack. So $30 for 5 songs for me is a definite no-go.

Fuck this for making Hair of the Dog exclusive.

MORE FUNK!!!!!!

A-hole Ronald doesn't approve.

That's a horrible track list. Brutal Legends has a waaaay better soundtrack

Hair of the Dog = awesome!

Everything else = wat

What does exclusive track mean? Exclusive to Rock Band? or exclusive to the disc package meaning no DLC?

I only want Bulls on Parade, damn them if you have to buy the whole thing just for that song.

I'm in the same boat. I might be more likely to buy it if I didn't already have some of the other songs too.

i think exclusive to the Track Pack, so yeah, you do need to buy the disc to be able to have said songs

They will bring those exclusive songs to everyone via the normal DLC music store eventually, as they said (the link is somewhere up above here).

And now for a moment of hypocrisy I've been waiting to relish for over a year:

IT'S CALLED *ROCK* BAND, NOT METAL BAND OMGWTF12313LI;21J3LKJ12!

lulwut?

Pearl Jams' new album comes out next week in stores on CD and in
Rockband as well.

Are we ever going to get any stuff like Type O Negative and Anthrax? Any Heaven and Hell?

Yes,there always has to be one Negative Nancy in the group :|

Okay...

What we need is some more Mastodon and please..please..please Slipknot!!!

There's only four, maybe five real metal bands there. They really need to rename this The False Metal Track Pack.

Agreed. Needs more Nevermore, Opeth, Soilwork, etc. for me to consider it a Metal Pack.

:-| Please tell me you're sarcastic.

TOTALLY UNRELATED:

Les Paul died today. :(
