You know it’s getting towards football season when the soundtrack to the latest Madden NFL game is released. Last year’s incarnation featured the world premiere of Trivium’s “Down From the Sky” and helped kickstart Hollywood Undead’s career, for better or for worse.
This year, the soundtrack doesn’t appear to have taken too many chances with new music (except for an exclusive new Cypress Hill tune), but there’s plenty of classic and current metal on the soundtrack. Pay attention, because these are some of the tunes that will be dominating the background and in-between plays emanating from your TV this Fall:
- Airbourne – “Heads Are Gonna Roll”
- Alice In Chains – “Them Bones”
- Bang Camaro – “Revolution”
- Black Sabbath – “Paranoid”
- Helmet – “Unsung”
- Iron Maiden – “Aces High”
- Judas Priest – “Painkiller”
- Kid Rock – “I Am the Bullgod”
- Killswitch Engage – “Reckoning”
- Korn – “Blind”
- Mastodon – “Divinations”
- Nirvana – “Breed”
- Pantera – “Walk”
- Rage Against the Machine – “Guerrilla Radio”
- Set Your Goals – “Gaia Bleeds (Make Way for Man)”
- Slipknot – “Duality”
- System of a Down – “Sugar”
