King Diamond in Guitar Hero Metallica
February 23rd, 2009 Posted in Music, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
Coming as no surprise, Activision has confirmed that a digital recreation of Mercyful Fate singer King Diamond will show up in Guitar Hero Metallica during select songs. He joins the members of Metallica themselves, as well as Motorhead vocalist and bassist Lemmy.
In addition to appearing in the game, Mercyful Fate has re-recorded “Evil”; Motorhead also offers a re-recorded version of “Ace of Spades”.
GH Metallica ships to stores next month on PS3 and Xbox 360; PS2 and Wii versions are expected in May. It builds on the gameplay of World Tour, offering full-band play, but with more heavy metal songs than you can shake a stick at.
