FYI: A Brisbane Metalcore Band Features In This Spanish Heavy-Metal Video Game

Brisbane-based metalcore/powercore crew A Breach Of Silence have the unexpected but undeniably awesome distinction of featuring on the soundtrack for an upcoming independent heavy-metal-themed video game developed in Spain.

Set for release on indie-game hub Steam at the end of the week, Metal Tales: Fury Of The Guitar Gods is a bird's-eye-view action-adventure outing that "mixes Metal with pure adrenaline to deliver the ultimate 3D rogue-like shooter".

The game was developed by Gijón-based company Nuberu Games in association with digital label Kiss Ltd, and promises its players the chance to "fight against the curse that affects your brothers in Metal and free them from an ancient evil". Energised power chords are your weapon of choice, and each end-level boss will wield a different style of shred-mastery, from Heavy Metal to Brutal Death, with Spanish and international bands providing the crushin' backing tunes to get you in the mood to melt some faces. 

A Breach Of Silence joins other internationally recognised acts such as Canadian speed/thrash-metal luminaries Striker, Swedish veterans Despite and Andorran prog-death-metal heroes Persefone on the game's soundtrack, which also includes a selection of original material.

The game boasts the usual trappings including collectible items, unlockable upgrades, different playable characters and more, as well as local co-op capabilities. Despite being a Spanish-made game, it will be available in both its native tongue and in English, so don't steer clear over any concerns about not being able to understand what's going on.

Not that the plot really requires much in the way of comprehension as it is; promo material on the game's website basically sums it up as: "The Guitar Gods have been cursed. A hero will answer the call to save his brothers and sisters in Metal. Let's save them!" 

Fuckin' let's. We are ready.

Metal Tales: Fury Of The Guitar Gods will be available on Steam for Windows and Mac from this Friday, 18 November.

Check out the trailer and see some screengrabs below.

A Breach Of Silence will release their new album, Secrets, on 24 February 2017, via Eclipse Records.
