Those comments made my head hurt

[Volk9]

Looks just fine to me.

[blackngold29]

I don't really have a problem with it, keeping in mind it's not even gonna be a physical cover.

[robwebster]

Man.

I'm just gonna use the really shit one I put together as a joke.

[blackngold29]

What's that big dude's name? Main character man. He needs a guitar in his hands now. Does he have any like teammates? They need to also be in his band.

gods playing metal, melting faces and whatnot. Now that's blood and metal.

Kratos on ALL THE INSTRUMENTS.
He's too much of a badass to have allies or partners.

This.

[Space Invader]

I don't know if it's been said, but the official release date is now March 16th. Presumably, the music will be available the same day.

[Basekick]

Blood & Metal eh?

I guess they're making a pun from Bismarck's famous "Blood & Iron speech" in the 1860s, which was given to unite Germany and prepare for war against their frontiers.  Maybe Sony is trying to compare that to the unification of the titans in God of War III?

Nah...I think they're just plain old cheesy as balls.

Akerfeldt comments on Opeth's track: https://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=52544&comments=1

"I just finished and approved the mastering of a new song I wrote called ‘The Throat of Winter’. I wrote it for that game, ‘God of war’ that we're supposed to be included in, or however that works. Is it a digital album? I don't know how that shit works, but it's done anyways. Hell, I'm still with my turntables (got 3 of them) and right now I'm playing a Aussie original of ‘High voltage’ by AC/DC.

"Song is very odd, it's good I think, or for my taste it is, but even I can understand it's very....odd! Produced and recorded it from scratch and I'm happy with the sound if I may say so myself. Fred laid down a killer acoustic solo and Per laid down an amazing twiddly tweet moog solo. It's not a very metal song, I'm saving up for that..later.....yet it's got a metal ‘mentality’, or what I remember metal used to do to me. I can feel it, even though it's not a ‘metal’ song per definition. Anyways, if you hear it I hope you like it.

"Me and Fred went to Namm for a few days and it was fun fun FUN! Did some signing session and a Q&A for PRS guitars. My signature guitar looked and felt amazing! Loved the neck of it! It was only a prototype so some adjustments will be made, but overall I'm fucking blown away by it. Fred liked it too very much and it seemed to attrack a lot of interest! The PRS people were real nice to us as always and I got to meet some nice people I hadn't met before. We might have had a few drinks too many but we had to do something to cope with the jetlag which was overwhelming. Looks like we might be going to the Frankfurt Musikmesse as well, right before those anniversary shows we're doing in March/April.

The Throat Of Winter

[PlaysLikeMyung]

that is SUCH a metal name

[Leeb Rocks]

Sure as hell beats raw dog.

[Plasmastrike]

Sure as hell beats raw dog.

  You can say that again.

[Space Invader]

Sure as hell beats raw dog.

Yeah, but Raw Dog is "God War" backwards, which is kind of cool.
Not really though.

But yeah, Throat of Winter = 

[perfey]

 

[ReaPsTA]

That's an awesome name for a song.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

Yeah, but Raw Dog is "God War" backwards, which is kind of cool.
Not really though.

But yeah, Throat of Winter = 

We might as well notice that Throat of Winter os Retinw fo toa...hell, I'm getting nowhere with this, but I'm as well sure that this track's gonna kick some serious arse. The Throat of Winter sounds lieka  very epic song, wheras Raw Dog sounds like "RIFF, BASTARD" type of song. I'm really excited to check out this GOW III soundtrack (And the game, of course. These series are excellent).

Any news on how long the DT track is? That is something I'm interested in finding out. Hopefully they didn't have a limitation.

Less than a month, kids. Mark your calendars!

[BlobVanDam]

I don't have a calendar, but I will definitely be etching this date into my forehead backwards, so that whenever I look in the mirror, I'll be reminded of the upcoming occasion.
