French gaming Web siteSuccess Fullhas gotten its hands on the achievements for the upcomingRock Band Metal Track Pack, and… wait… what!? That hasn’t been announced yet!
The rumored achievements for the pack appear to indicate that another retail disc is on the way, along the lines of the upcomingCountry Track Pack. These track packs generally feature music that has been released on the Rock Band Music Store, but theCountry Track Packhas set a precedent by offering up a handful of music previously unreleased. If these achievements uncovered by the French are to be believed, theMetal Trackpack will be offering the same.
Buried in the achievements are hints at someincluded songs previously unavailableforRock Band: Motorhead’s “Killed by Death”; Hawkwind’s “Master of the Universe”; Blue Oyster Cult’s “Transmaniacon MC”; and Nazareth’s “Hair of the Dog.” TheCountry Track Packwill feature 13 tracks exclusive (for a limited time) to the retail disc; it’s possible thisMetal Track Packwill contain more than four exclusive songs, as well.
Fans yell “OMFG! WHERES TEH REAL METALZ!? FUXORZ ROCK BANDS!1!” a lot. This usually means “Why haven’t you released songs by my favorite bands? I will FBFC this Miranda Cosgrove track with my friends in the meantime. But I’m not wearing this sleeveless flannel, studded bracelet, and this Meshuggah t-shirt for no reason here, guys.” We wonder if this supposedMetal Track Packwill appease the masses.
We’ve contacted Harmonix and MTV Games to see if this is a thing that exists, of course. As with everything in life, we can’t be sure of anything until there’s a press release issued, anyhow.
[Thanks, power-glove!]
