An instrumental version of Metallica‘s 1984 fan favorite “For Whom The Bell Tolls” will appear in the upcoming video game ‘Gears Of War: E-Day‘. That song will be a selectable track you can use for music of the main menu of the game, as well is in lobbies for the versus and horde siege modes. “For Whom The Bell Tolls” will be one of four musical choices available at launch, with further musical offerings to come.
Additionally, a premium in-game skin set themed around Metallica‘s sophomore album “Ride The Lightning” is also due to be made available for purchase. Furthermore, the studio version of “For Whom The Bell Tolls” soundtracks the below newly released multiplayer reveal trailer. You can get a brief look at the “Ride The Lightning” skin pack in the below video at around 11:50 in.
‘Gears Of War: E-Day‘ will launch on Xbox and Windows platforms on October 06th and serves as a prequel to the first entry in the ‘Gears Of War‘ franchise, taking place some fourteen years before the events in that 2006 franchise opener.
