OMG KILLSWITCH ENGAGE!!!!!!!!!! Sony that’s ALL you had to say. WOW oh WOW this is really turning into the most anticipated game to date…EVER!
I never pre-orderd a game before but it’s so tempting now!
dude, all those bands suck except opeth. roadrunner home to the most watered down metal.
dam…….
OK fine, you talked me into it. I will upgrade to the Ultimate Edition. I was most likely going to anyway, but this was definitely my tipping point.
Also, PLEASE make that cover art a wallpaper…or better yet a dynamic theme with lightning flashes in the background. – HOTNESS!
Haha worth it! Already had it reserved—99 bucks aint bad!
already pre-ordered my ultimate edition – i’m gonna weep!
It would be nice if we could get a taste of this music…ie: release one of the songs for us to hear.
Will this music be in the game anywhere?
More info pl0x, less secrecy.
F*** you S**y….march is too far to wait…just dying for this game… game of the life! you are the best!!!!
$100 bucks for download vouchers!
AWESOME! SO TOTALLY WORTH IT!
You had me at Opeth.
I have never heard of any of those bands listed lol. But im willing to give it a listen. I love the artwork on the cover there though, that looks awesome.

Lawl, bad math.
Roadrunner Records is a cool company. If only Metallica was in this I’d be sold automatially

Can you buy this EP without getting the set? I really want the game and the EP but i cant afford the $100.
wahoo!!! killswitch engage… man im excited but the price bites…
You are all too young to remember Dream Theater; theres about half of a metal band on that soundtrack. Pathetic.
Wow that is a very metal album cover.
Wow, awesome. I love some of those bands and I’m a big God Of War fan. Can’t wait!

If you don’t consider Opeth metal then you’re obviously using a definition you created yourself.
But, you know, keep talking down to random people on the internet about it. It shows character.
Killswitch engage are MINT! I’m gonna get GOW3
Really digging the idea of Metal bands like KSE and Opeth doing GoW music :)
But why is everything download code? Why can’t get get discs? Especially for the movie.
Who are the winners of the God of War Spartan Army sweepstakes?!! You guys were supposed to announce the winners on the 17th and it is now the 21st.
Sorry, we\’re pending confirmation from the selected winners. We will announce later on this week
