http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2009/12/500x_god_of_war_ep.jpgThe impressively ornate—and not exactly cheap—Ultimate Edition (http://kotaku.com/5393531/behold-the-god-of-war-iii-ultimate-edition) version of God of War III (http://kotaku.com/tag/godofwariii/) will feature more than just the soothing sounds of the God of War trilogy's original score.
The God of War: Blood & Metal digital EP will feature exclusive, sometimes God of War inspired tracks from Killswitch Engage, Dream Theater, Trivium, Opeth and Taking Dawn. If you follow any or all of those bands, you're likely aware that they're Roadrunner Records acts, Sony's partner in giving God of War fans something heavier to rock to.
"This is the first time in 24 years that we've written and recorded a song for anything other than one of our own albums, so we're up for the challenge and excited to have been asked," said prog metal act Dream Theater's drummer Mike Portnoy.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm more than interested to hear just how God of War inspired any of these previously unreleased songs are.
