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.

I love the way the whole Metal scene has split into so many crazy subgenres over the years.
