New Video Game Features Metal Soundtrack
03 September 2010Heavy metal heavyweights are on board for a new video game, nail’d, from gaming company Deep Silver.
Music Week reports that Raymond Herrera and Christian Olde Wolbers, once members of Fear Factory, Damageplan’s Pat Lachman, Static X’s Wayne Static, Hatebreed’s Jamey Jasta, Deftones’ Stephen Carpenter, Strapping Young Lad’s Jed Simon and Devil Driver’s John Boecklin collaborated on three songs for the game which also includes tracks from Slipknot, Backyard Babies and Queens of the Stone Age.
The project was put together by Herrera, who co-manages a gaming music company in the U.S. Deep Silver originally wanted Herrera to broker some licensing deals but the gaming company’s Malte Wagener explains that Herrera preferred to hand-pick musicians for new material.
“All the guys were chosen on the strength of their musical style and ability,” he said. “Because they are friends with each other it was quite easy to convince them to do it.”
'Count for Something,' 'Through Walls of Flame' and 'Decimator' will appear in promos for the game, which is set for international release in October. There might even be an accompanying soundtrack album.
