Megadeth Doing Neverdead Soundtrack

Neverdead is already one of my "games to watch" from E3. I mean really, ripping your own limbs off and throwing them at the enemies including your head? If that’s not quirky and innovative gameplay,  I don’t know what is. My tour guide (from the Toronto office) made sure to point out to me that it was definitely a cool game, gameplay mechanic and that Megadeth was a much cooler band than Korn in her eyes. Yeah, she was pretty cool like that.

The title track, Neverdead, will also be on Megadeth’s upcoming album, their 13th.

" ’Never Dead’ was written specifically for the game, and the song’s lyrics and concept fit perfectly with its transcendental nature," said Madelyn Scarpulla, Senior Vice President of Marketing & Creative Services for Roadrunner Records. "Megadeth and Roadrunner are both looking forward to the mutually beneficial marketing partnership we have established with KONAMI with the launch of NeverDead and Megadeth’s new album coming this fall."

NeverDead, currently in production, is a third-person action game set in a futuristic world where humans are battling supernatural enemies across a dark post-apocalyptic metropolis. In the game, players will assume the role of a demonic hero agent named Bryce who, assisted by his female lead Arcadia, must undertake a series of missions to combat a demonic plague. NeverDead is expected to release later this year for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Like I said, this is in my Top (e)Three.
