Br?tal Legend soundtrack revealed!

[Captain Calle]

Gamedaily reports on the full list of songs that will be heard this "Rocktober" in Tim Schafer?s Brutal Legend.

For those not familiar, the game revolves around the world?s greatest roadie, Eddie Riggs (voiced and screen-capped by Jack Black), who is accidentally transported to a fantasy world inspired by the artwork of heavy metal album covers. Eddie becomes the world?s savior, leading the down-trodden humans against a range of supernatural overlords using a battle axe, his Flying V guitar infused with magical powers, and a customizable hot rod. The game is also filled with awesome cameos by Rob Halford, Lemmy Kilmister, Lita Ford and Ozzy Osbourne.

The game is set for a "Rocktober" 13 and 16 release for North America and Europe respectively.

I can't gauge what the italiacs in the list mean.

Instrumental or covers?

It needs more Metallica!

But it has Painkiller by Judas Priest, so all is well. That's like the best song ever.

It simply means that it's their song. It doesn't seem to have any cover songs and if it's an instrumental it says that after the song's name. The author of the post just forgot to make some song names italic. Hell, he even misspelled some band names!

It needs more Iron Maiden and Dio, if you ask me.
There aren't that many Metallica songs that fit into this game, in my opinion. I would love driving the Hot Rod while listening to Ride the Lightning or Fuel, though.

Well I mean they said they tried to represent every subgenre and type of heavy metal, and Metallica is one of the most prominent thrash metal bands. I'm sure they'd be able to fit it in somehow. They're missing a lot of the greatest greats, I have a feeling it's to do with licensing issues.
