Splatterhouse Soundtrack Is Heavy

I remember the days when heavy metal music featured Satan and bringing your daughter to the slaughter, but generally it was still a bit tongue in cheek. Judging by the track listing for Splatterhouse the genre has moved from being a bit cheeky to taking its cue from the SAW movies.

Obviously I am getting old and turning into my Dad – Goatwhore – really?  Good Lord, pass the smelling salts Mavis.

Splatterhouse is out this November and the game will feature the following songs:

  • The Accused – “Pounding Nails”
  • ASG – “Dream Song”
  • Cavalera Conspiracy – “Must Kill”
  • 5 Finger Death Punch – “Dying Breed”
  • Goatwhore – “Apocalyptic Havok”
  • The Haunted – “Hollow Ground”
  • High On Fire – “Fire, Flood & Plague”
  • Invisible Enemies – “Dead Eyes”
  • Lamb of God – “Walk With Me in Hell”
  • Mastodon – “Blood and Thunder”
  • Municipal Waste – “Rigorous Vengeance”
  • Mutant Supremacy – “Morbid Dismemberment”
  • Terrorizer – “Dead Shall Rise”
  • WolfShirt – “Headlong Into Monsters”

For my benefit as much as yours, here is the video for “Apocalyptic Havok” by Goatwhore.
