Rock Band Metal Track Pack Disc Coming October 13th

Submitted by on August 13, 2009 – 10:13 am9 Comments

rockband2logoIt appears to just be a coincidence, but Rock Band will be releasing a new disc based Metal Track Pack on October 13th.  Why am I talking about coincidences?  Well, you probably realize that Rock Band and Rock Band 2 are published by Electronic Arts.  Electronic Arts also has a little game, wrapped around Metal music by the name of Brutal Legend, which also happens to be coming out on October 13th.  Some sort of cool marketing push, or just a strange coincidence?  You decide.

Check out the jump for the full info on the full track listing as well as pricing.

    You're such a cynic, dude. Seriously … ;p

    Metal's not my thing at all, but there are some weird choices in there. Blue Oyster Cult? Metal? REALLY?!

    It reminds me of the time Jethro Tull got nominated in the Heavy Metal grammy category for his album that was full of flute music.

    I only know two songs from that entire list, and I don't even like them…

    Jordan, run for cover. We agree on something, again!

    No interest, even in the few I recognize. The Beatles catalog is on the way, people. Don't waste your time with this distraction.

    It's like filling up on bread before a good meal arrives. Questionable bread.

  • Jordan_Snyder

    Why…are…we…so…in…sync?

    I too say don't full up on this crap, but wait for the entree, The Beatles: Rock Band.

  • Vixx

    Amen, brother. Amen.
