News: Some new music has been added to the Guitar Hero tracklist including music from Marilyn Manson, Deftones, Mastodon and more.

Guitar Hero Live is coming out later this year and Activision has just revealed some new music that will be in the game. The newly announced tracks include:

Royal Blood - “Little Monster”

Marilyn Manson - “Disposable Teens”

Killswitch Engine - “In Due Time”

Marmozets - “Move Shake Hide”

Of Mice & Men - “Bones Exposed”

Deftones - “Diamond Eyes”

Vista Chino - “Sweet Remain”

Bring Me the Horizon - “Shadow Moses”

Mastodon - “High Road”

Trivium - “Strife”

Guitar Hero Live enhances the gameplay experience by introducing a modern, redesigned guitar controller, featuring two rows of three buttons that better reflects the way people naturally play. The new format ensures fun for players of all abilities. For beginners, you can feel like a rock star by mastering play with just the bottom three buttons. Medium-level players don’t have to stretch their fingers down the neck of the guitar controller anymore and can instead skillfully play two-row combinations that mimic real chords. Experienced players have a new challenge in creating complex chord-like shapes and finger combinations that will bring new thrills to veterans. This simple innovation makes it easier for beginners to play and harder for veterans to master.

Music variety is at the heart of the game. Guitar Hero Live takes the approach of the modern music festival, with rock, folk, EDM, hip-hop, country and pop acts sharing the same stage. The game will feature hundreds of playable songs from a diverse array of artists, including The Black Keys, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Gary Clark, Jr., Green Day, Ed Sheeran, The War on Drugs, The Killers, Skrillex, The Rolling Stones, The Lumineers, Carrie Underwood, Pierce the Veil and Blitz Kids, with many more bands to be announced in the coming months.

“We are pleased to support the launch of Guitar Hero Live, building on one of the most successful music video-game franchises of all time, and providing our artists with a fun and interactive experience for their fans,” said Bruce Resnikoff, President of Universal Music Enterprises.
