With a previous appearance in Rock Band as DLC, it's no surprise that known face melters Lamb of God are apparently creating an original song for the upcoming Iron Man 2 game, now scheduled for release on May 4 (just three days before the film's release).
"The music of Lamb of God definitely evokes the intensity of Iron Man action," explains Sean Ratcliffe, veep of marketing for Sega. Meanwhile, Lamb of God's drummer Chris Adler says that some of the band's members are "real game and comic fans," making them all the more excited "to play the game and hear our music as Iron Man kicks a**." Us, on the other hand? We're going to take full advantage of the soundtrack swap function and rock out to some even edgier P.O.D. jams upon the game's release. It just really makes us feel so alive, ya know?

I love me some Lamb Of God, but if they really are big video game fanatics, they'd be like "You want our song in an Iron Man video game? How about we play a build of it first, cause we all remember the first one!"

Don't listen to Bradwart. He's just another one of Filthy Assistant's troll accounts.

Lamb of God is amazing.
It's things like this that could get a guy to buy a video game he hardly paid attention to before...

...or just download the song instead of buying a potentially subpar movie-tie-in videogame.

I didn't say I was buying it, merely pointing out that things like this spur their sales for virtually no good reason.

Is it sad that I don't know -any- of their songs?
I say yes.

I say yes.

I wouldn't call it sad. Lamb Of God isn't exactly mainstream. They're worth checking out if you like heavier music, they are actually quite talented.

Accomplished and successful doesn't necessarily equal mainstream.

Of course, I'm listening to the Thompson Twins right now, so I probably don't count.

"Laid to Rest" was in Guitar Hero 2. Everybody I know has played that game.

Everybody knows that the cover bands in GH games are horrible.
Doesn't change the fact that it's the same song.

Nope. It's a bad song by a bad band with a bad name. Thanks for playing though.

I'm listening to Wrath right now, I didn't like it at first, but it definitely grew on me.
