French gaming Web site Success Full has gotten its hands on the achievements for the upcoming Rock 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 upcoming Country Track Pack. These track packs generally feature music that has been released on the Rock Band Music Store, but the Country Track Pack has set a precedent by offering up a handful of music previously unreleased. If these achievements uncovered by the French are to be believed, the Metal Track pack will be offering the same.
Buried in the achievements are hints at some included songs previously unavailable for Rock 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.” The Country Track Pack will feature 13 tracks exclusive (for a limited time) to the retail disc; it’s possible this Metal Track Pack will 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 supposed Metal Track Pack will 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!]
