Electronic Arts has unleashed – yeah, that’s the word – details of the Brόtal Legend soundtrack. Given the game’s hell-bound setting and its hard-rocking hero you won’t be surprised to learn that it’s significantly more metal than most. Heads down, here we go...

Lazier developers might have plumped for something a little softer and more overtly crowd-pleasing. Not so Double Fine Productions, who have delved into the darkest, doomiest recesses of their record collections to compile an uncompromising tracklist that’s all but guaranteed to terrorise small children and have family pets scuttling for cover.
