Author: Metallica has become one of the most influential heavy metal bands, and is also often credited as one of the big thrash metal bands. They have sold more than one hundred million albums worldwide making them the most commercially successful thrash metal band. Death Magnetic, Metallica’s latest album released in late 2008 is a flash back to their eighties heavy- thrash metal roots and is more similar to the classic success records Master of Puppets and …And Justice for All.
Death Magnetic, the ninth studio album for Metallica debuted at number one allowing Metallica to become the first band to have five consecutive studio albums debut at number one. The album stayed at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart for three consecutive weeks. Alongside the release of the album, was downloadable content for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock with thanks to the success lead to the very popular release of Guitar Hero: Metallica. In addition to the normal difficulty levels presented in Guitar Hero World Tour, Guitar Hero: Metallica provides an “Expert+” difficulty for drums that allows the use of a second bass drum pedal to match the drumming style of Lars Ulrich.
The video game features 28 songs spanning Metallica’s career and 21 recording selected by the band themselves. Metallica performed extensive high tech motion capture for their in-game appearance and performances. The game includes several extras including behind the scenes videos of the motion capture sessions, concert videos and much more. Guitar Hero: Metallica has received almost all positive reviews with most critics stating it to be a strong tribute to the band and no doubt the best Guitar Hero series video game to date.
