Since he's holding a guitar, I'm guessing guitar tech?

KevMo. He's returned to the band as a guitar rack.

One of JM's groupies. Insists on having at least five, well lubricated men with him at any given time. It's actually on his rider. Rock 'n' roll, eh.

Imagine JP or MP writing lyrics for a God of War song? Yeah.

NO... ONE... DARED TO!
SPEAK OF THE TERRIBLE KRATOS!
THE HIDEOUS SPARTAN WARNINGS!
FORGED IN THE FURY OF NIGHT!

HE... IS... THE... LAAAAAST!!!!
BORN OF THE BLOOD OF THE WARRIORS!
THE ULTIMATE GOD OF A ROTTING OLYMPUS!
SENT TO UNLEASH THE WAR!!!

Yeah, that wouldn't work at all.

That it does. Not sure about that one.. does it have a relation to the game somehow? I've never played it.

Read it backwards.

I'm sure that this song will be awesome. But it seems pretty evident that no-one in the band really bothered learning about or trying to play the God of War games. No biggie there. Since they were still calling it Gods of War days before going into the studio I figured games wasn't really anyone's thing.

That would be Maddy, JP's guitar tech from the this tour and even the ToT tour (can be seen in the LiB doco)

That'll probably be the working title - won't be the final name.

Like how we don't talk about Schindler's Lisp, or Squid, or The Pumpkin King pt. 1. (Although we should definitely start.)

skydivingninja · « **Reply #118 on:** January 09, 2010, 05:31:13 AM »

JP is too busy playing Sega Genesis to care about Gods of War, God of War, or 3 Gods of War.

But those working titles are given before songs have lyrics to contribute the song title. This is an instrumental, so the name doesn't really have a reason to change, and the only context for the title the game, and they've gone for some fun word play on the title, so I'm guessing it's the final name. Not that I care either way. The song is written, so what's in a name?

robwebster · « **Reply #121 on:** January 09, 2010, 05:53:00 AM »

That's true. Can't find evidence of any of the other instrumentals having working titles - so you're probably right! Just strikes me as resembling their less refined, more nonsensical titles, more than it does any of their actual, finished titles. Though I've just seen the update, and it does look like that's what they've signed it off as. Maybe they're giving it to Roadrunner to title? Or the GoW3 team, if they're using it for the in-game soundtrack. Although, doubt they'd leave their art in someone else's hands like that. It probably is called Raw Dog, hahaha.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #122 on:** January 09, 2010, 05:57:02 AM »

Well we also have to keep in mind that this is the first time they've ever written a song for something other than their own albums, so I suppose there is no real established rulebook in this scenario.

And also, we know that Raw Dog is just God War backwards, but also remember that this isn't the first time they've named an instrumental by putting a title backwards. Ytse Jam. So I suppose it's not all that silly or unprecedented after all

robwebster · « **Reply #123 on:** January 09, 2010, 06:06:35 AM »

Fair play, right on all counts. I'll shut up now!

I would call it "Jeremy." Maybe "Jeremy the Song." (It's "Gnos eht Ymerej" backwards.)

To be fair to them, I play games fairly regularly, and I've never played any of the Gods At War games.

Anyway, I can't wait to hear the instrumental.

eh, no. I don't believe MP knew meshuggah back in 1998/1999.

But the 'polyrhytmic' part in TCOT definately is meshuggah inspired.

Nihil-Morari · « **Reply #132 on:** January 10, 2010, 07:17:25 AM »

Wait, I take it back. Since meshuggah has existed since 1987 (I thought they were much newer). TDOE was made right after chaosphere came out.

If I had to guess, I think it's the low B on the guitar part, where the rest is alternating between 4, 3 en 2/4.

The most incredible thing about that clip is how MP hardly even looks around and all of them know exactly where to come back in.

No, but I think the game comes out in March, so it shouldn't take too long. Not sure if the other bands have done their tracks yet.

Looking forward to hearing this and Opeth is writing one too!

I wonder if the Opeth one is going to be an instrumental too. If this EP is called Blood and Metal, I can def. see some Akerfeldt growls
