Metal: Hellsinger to host the largest concert in Gamescom history!

Earlier today, the team behind Metal: Hellsinger announced they will host a live metal concert at this year’s Gamescom as part of the rhythm shooter’s showcase.

The news comes after the game’s demo hit over one million downloads with a massive spike in Steam wishlist numbers. As a result, developer The Outsiders and publisher Funcom coordinated with Gamescom and Level Infinite to dedicate an entire hall for a concert featuring some of the most iconic voices in metal.

The concert will feature original music for the game composed by Two Feathers. In addition, some of the celebrated metal vocalists who lent their talents to the game will be there to perform live. Among the vocalists who will perform at the event include Matt Heafy (Trivium), Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquility), Dennis Lyxzén (Refused/INVSN), and James Dorton (Black Crown Initiate).

Oh, and if you thought this gaming headbanger’s ball couldn’t get any better, think again. Anyone at Gamescom will be able to attend the concert completely free! In addition, the first 200 people to show up will receive exclusive Metal: Hellsinger merchandise.

For those who can’t attend the concert in person, you too can witness the mayhem online. That’s because the entire concert will be livestreamed right on the official Metal: Hellsinger website. Just remember: no karate in the pit (even if you’re moshing in your own house)!

The event happens on August 25 at 7 P.M. CEST (1 P.M. EST). You can learn more in the trailer below.

About Metal: Hellsinger and how to pre-order

Although the game draws some heavy inspiration from Doom, it sets itself apart by encouraging players to blast enemies along to the music. Combining brutal melodic death metal with equally brutal gunplay, Metal: Hellsinger will make you want to shred through guitar solos while shredding through demons! Better yet, as you keep up with the game’s rhythm, the game rewards you with intensified chaos.

And speaking of the game’s rhythm, it wouldn’t be METAL: Hellsinger without, well, METAL. Well, for metalheads across the world, the game definitely delivers. Accompanying original instrumentals by composer duo Two Feathers, the game features collaborations with some of the most celebrated vocalists in metal.
