=== Tune those guitars, warm up your voices and strap on your battle jacket - as today we're going to be diving into the absurd world of Heavy Metal Video Games

It's a story that is going to take us to the depths of Doom and Quake, into the wild world of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, crash against strange Aerosmith and Motorhead licensed games, cover hundreds of different licensed soundtracks and talk about a lot of corporate greed

A wise man once said "No one can destroy the Metal" - but why exactly is it so potent in video game form?

It's part video essay, part contrarian think piece, part investigative history - all told by one man who can't get enough of slamming guitars in 16bit form...
