The impressively ornate—and not exactly cheap—Ultimate Edition version of God of War III will feature more than just the soothing sounds of the God of War trilogy's original score.
The
God of War: Blood & Metal digital EP will feature exclusive,
sometimes God of War inspired tracks from Killswitch Engage, Dream
Theater, Trivium, Opeth and Taking Dawn. If you follow any or all of
those bands, you're likely aware that they're Roadrunner Records acts,
Sony's partner in giving God of War fans something heavier to rock to.
"This
is the first time in 24 years that we've written and recorded a song
for anything other than one of our own albums, so we're up for the
challenge and excited to have been asked," said prog metal act Dream
Theater's drummer Mike Portnoy.
I don't know about you guys, but
I'm more than interested to hear just how God of War inspired any of
these previously unreleased songs are.
