I don't know if the soundtrack for a game has every truly been "hotly anticipated," but if one had to choose the most "hotly anticipated" soundtrack to a game ever it might just be Brütal Legend's as the entire game is about rock and/or roll and features a plethora of heavy metal music stars who would make the soundtrack truly epic. Now that we've established that the soundtrack is indeed "hotly anticipated" the news that EA Denmark seems to have leaked the songs present in the game should get you pretty excited. The Denmark branch of EA posted the song tracks on their site, revealing that the game will feature over 100 songs from legends of metal.
You can check out the list below the jump, but there is a strange lack of Iron Maiden in the game for some reason. There's plenty of Ozzy, Riot, Ratt and Judas Priest though, so I think it's safe to say we're all going to have some pretty cramped necks from headbanging non-stop. Can't wait until Rocktober.
(Update: Looks like it has all been confirmed and with a sexy quote from Tim Schafer: "This soundtrack took years to put together as we wanted to represent every genre of Metal, and also have the perfect music for every epic moment in the game. It's designed to be loved by Metal fans, and for those who are not, it will either convert them or make their heads explode ... or both.")

wait a second, I might as well repost the WHOLE SETLIST BECAUSE SERIOUSLY THIS IS THE BEST SOUNDTRACK EVER
FTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
NO!! WHY THEM?!! WHY!!?
:(
I wish there was more melodic death metal (Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, At the Gates), but In Flames and Children of Bodom are still fucking awesome.
If the game had Opeth, then it would be truly perfect. Although I could see that the softer parts of Opeth songs may not fit as well as they could.
But I'm nitpicking.
I'm even more sold. I think I may go preorder this tonight.
FUCK YES!
However, I am kinda surprised to see DETHKLOK ON THE LIST! WITH MERMAIDER NO LESS! YEEESSS!
This game is metal. It will make everything metal! BLACKER THAN THE BLACKEST BLACK TIMES INFINITY!
...Ok, I'm done now. :)
Seriously.
Wish they would have anything from Follow the Reaper by Children of Bodom instead (Kissing the Shadows, I'm looking at you!), but still, MASSIVE boner.
ON!
In other news, FUCK YES. Too bad Ronnie James and Ozzy have all that bad blood, is that why there's no Dio on the list? Also, needs more Dethklok.
I wouldn't really consider any of that music apart from Malmsteen as metal. Especially not Aya Hirano I mean she's hot and all, but she's more pop than rock, and definitely not metal though.
