I'd like to build a list of games that center around metal/hard rock or have a significant amount of metal/hard rock tracks in them. Suggestions are welcome.

Ones I can think of off the top of my head:

-Brutal Legend
-Crue Ball
-Guitar Hero series
-KISS Pinball
-Lords of Thunder (the soundtrack is definitely metal-inspired)
-Rise of the Six String
-Road Rash series (3DO/Saturn/PS1 era)
-Rock Band series
-Rocksmith
-Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series

What else have you got?

Dynasty Warriors.

I should probably say Sabbath, since they started it all; but I really think Metallica is the best. They might not be anyone else's favorite, but they have been relevant for 30+ years.  People my parents age all the way down to teenagers know who Metallica is.

Happy Anniversary to me! My wife knows me. 8)



The Surtur Rising album comes with a rather long live DVD, too!

I've been listening to them for a long time, and I know I'll probably get flamed for this by any other longtime Amon Amarth fans here, but...I think Deceiver of the Gods is a serious contender for Amon Amarth's greatest album. The entire thing is just fantastic to listen to from beginning to end.

Being a big metalhead myself, I have to toss in Demolition Racer: No Exit for the metal list.  I think some of the Twisted Metal series had dominantly "metal" tracks as well.

Aside from the list, I tend to gravitate toward the slow and heavy stuff. I only really care for Black Sabbath's earlier stuff like their "Paranoid" album. I absolutely recommend Pentagram to anyone who enjoys Sabbath, but New Orlean's Thou is my absolute favorite sludge/doom band. I used to be really into grindcore, but I only really pull Pig Destroyer and Agoraphobic Nosebleed off the shelves these days. I like some Crust Punk, but it tends to end up sounding the same after a while.

Here's my usual playlist:

Black Cobra (Hardcore-influenced Sludge)
This Runs On Blood (weirdest Hardcore I have ever heard)
Thou (heaviest band in recent years)
EyeHateGod (Sludge masters)
Whores. (these guys are great)
Kowloon Walled City (Sludge and damned good)
SubRosa (Experimental Doom w/ violins)
Batillus (NY Sludge Doom)
Pig Destroyer (Thrashy Grindcore)
Agoraphobic Nosebleed (a Grindcore Drum Machinegun and weird as hell)
Fister (Saint Louis Doom Face-wreckers)
Mammoth Grinder (a strange mix of Grindcore, Hardcore, Sludge, D-beat.... all awesome)
High On Fire (Celtic Frost-tinged Sludge)
The Haunted (Post-Thrash w/ a Death Metal edge)
At The Gates (Death Metal)
The Faceless (Tech Death)
Dismember (Death Metal)

I'll admit that I have a huge soft spot for Radiohead.

YEAH. I SAID IT.
