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.
