If IRON MAN 2 gets any more metal, it’s going to start spitting pin balls and sweating quick silver.

You’ve got the AC/DC IRON MAN 2 album melting your face…

You’ve got War Machine and Crimson Dynamo shredding your senses in the video game…

…and, now, you’ve got Lamb of God dropping an exclusive track for the Sega shoot ‘em up that’ll be heavier than uranium!

"The music of Lamb of God definitely evokes the intensity of Iron Man action and we are very excited to have them working with us for the game. This new track will add even more atmosphere to the cinematic gaming experience that Iron Man 2 brings to the table."

So says Sean Ratcliffe, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America.   Set his words to some drop D guitars and super-fast double-bass drums, and I think you’ll have a headbanging chorus on your hands. Read the rest at Marvel’s website.

Among other things, I’m a metal head.   Why, just this past Tuesday, I saw Exodus and Arch Enemy rock it at LA’s House of Blues.  

And it’s a funny thing because, while I was moshing with some nutjobs in the pit, while I was surfing on the crowd and accidentally kicking my friend in the forehead, I was thinking to myself, “Why can’t the worlds of comics, video games and metal collide all at once?”  

Yes, Anthrax’s Scott Ian wrote an arc of Lobo recently.   Sure, Tim Schafer mixed headbanging with hack-n-slash in BRUTAL LEGEND.   But those are only combinations of two elements.   Who could stand up and forge all three together?

Like metal magic, here’s the answer to that question.  

Truth be told,   I’m not a Lamb of God devotee - - I’m more of a Fear Factory, Static-X and Rob Zombie fan - - but the prospect of metal blasting while I’m unloading a wall of lead on the Crimson Dynamo's sorry ass gets me jacked up.

Ohhhh this is good news

Lamb of God is awesome. You should give it a shot Mr. Pinchuk. I also like Static X and Zombie. Not the biggest Fear Factory fan though....

Nice

Meh. Lamb of God are are pretty lame IMO, but it definitely could be worse (Bullet For My Valentine).

Heck yes, Lamb of God FTW.

Awesome, Saw them live the other night to.

BDASS!!

"   

  Yes they rock an best dam remake of lowrider imho every. 
  

  dont think this will be whats in the iron man 2 game.Their not bad tho. "

Nasty.
 
AC/DC to Lamb of God is a big drop-off in quality, IMO, but I'm glad that they're limiting it to the game, I suppose.

Haha, really? Drop off? Over-rated, over-played 60 year old rockers are a upgrade? But opinions are opinions. I've been into LoG since they were Burn The Priest, been in a few Wall of Deaths. I would buy the game just for the sound track. Hell, they should play Black Label in the movie when War Machine starts blasting his Gatling gun.

Haha, you do have a point. In the metal world, they are the standard, but even then they are sub par like you said. Dig their old stuff.

Haha, well their older stuff is alot heavier. Laid to Rest was on their second album I believe. Their old album "New American Gospel" was kinda harsher, the production was lower but the time signatures made it more interesting.
