Rock Band to receive Earache thrash next week
Hmxsean just posted next week's Rock Band DLC over on the official forums and all we can say is be prepared for some Earache thrash.
On Tuesday, March 18th Harmonix will release an Earache Thrash Pack to the XBLM for 440 Microsoft points comprised of three master tracks from Earache Records bands. Ear-aching master tracks including "Blinded By Fear" by At the Gates, "Thrasher" by Evile and "D.O.A." by The Haunted. As always, each chunk of musical DLC can also be purchased separately for 160 Microsoft points. And if you couldn't tell, yes we do have a frown on our face from today's announcement. Ever since we knew "D.O.A." was headed to Rock Band thanks to a little leak, we figured it would be from the Foo Fighters. Obviously, we were wrong. Hopefully The Haunted's "D.O.A." is equally enjoyable.

Seriously.... can they find any crappier songs to put out as DLC. At this point I'd just enjoy a song I've heard at some point in my lifetime.

Wow. That's the most generic hardcore band ever. They're like the Black Eyed Peas of hardcore. Bad Brains would've been preferable.

Just because you've not heard something doesn't mean it's "crappy".

Good. Metal songs are always fun to play on these games. This really stretch the vocal difficulty. I always enjoy a challenge. Plus, it's a nice change from the classic/alternative kick recently.

Ok, you guys don't know what you're talking about, At the Gates is a truly hornstastic band. I will be purchasing instantly.

FINALLY! METAL MUSIC! Can't wait to check this out!
Never thought they would have a song that would have double-bass drums! I wonder how it's going to work out!

I too wish it was DOA from the Foo Fighters. That would have been rather uber!

Good stuff. But a little odd of a choice considering when At The Gates broke up most of the guys went on to form The Haunted. Still, horns up!

If you're playing EARACHE songs, where's Earache my Eye by Cheech & Chong?

Of course it was D.O.A. by The Haunted. I knew it as soon as I saw the leaked tracks a while back. I was tipped off when another song on the list was Shadow World, which is another The Haunted song from the same album as D.O.A.

I, personally, have been looking forward to this pack. not too pleased about the Haunted, but that Evile song is awesome, we need more metal & thrash or Rock Band.
